Seriously, are we f**king cursed?
This feels like just another day at the Gas, but really it is an extraordinary management move. Virtually unprecedented, I would think. A relatively new manager on a roll choosing to go to a struggling club a division below. Just as we seemed like we might actually achieve something. There was literally about 20 minutes between me thinking that we might actually do something this year, and hopes being dashed.
Was Eastville built on the site of a pet cemetery, or a Saxon burial ground, or was it a plague pit in the middle ages, or did they burn witches there, or something? Seriously, what the f**k is it about our club that we can't seem to get a break?

Ollie thought the same when manager and invited someone in to sprinkle something or other in the four corners of the mem pitch if I remember correctly. Seriously.

Don’t know about cursed but the words “brewery” and “social function” come rapidly to mind......😢

Starting to think we could do with us doing a Bury and just putting us all out of our misery, our best win in 20 years and then the manager decides to announce he's joining an L2 side playing in front of 4K home gates.

Lots of fans will claim their club is cursed in some way (anyone who doesn’t follow the top 2 or 3 teams that happen to be top of the pyramid at that point in time usually). Ignoring the glory seekers though, is their any other club with the potential we have that hasn’t played in the top tier (I think at least half the league has at some point) and that has a such a sh** stadium (which we should consider ourselves “lucky” to own, for the time being at least)? Really? Feel free to look down the list of the 92 and tell me I’m entitled...

When things went badly after Francis left in 1991 I half jokingly thought to myself that he had sold our soul to the devil in order to get such a good 1989/90 season.
Maybe.....

I just don't get it. I really don't.
GC has put his heart and soul into BRFC over the last year and just as we seem to be really getting somewhere it looks like he is going to walk away and drop down to L2. Why?
Surely the only reason it could make sense is of it is for personal reasons, i.e. to be nearer his family.
From a football perspective I can't see how it makes any sense at all!
Even if he is not getting the backing from the board in January it still doesn't make sense, he's got to 4th in L1 with the current squad, what's to say he couldn't keep us there until the end of the season.
So disappointed in this news.
I was feeling elated after the win earlier and now this, it's a real sucker punch.

Ollie thought the same when manager and invited someone in to sprinkle something or other in the four corners of the mem pitch if I remember correctly. Seriously. I think Barry Fry was told by a Gypsy that to lift a curse on the ground he needed to water in each corner of the pitch - which he duly did. Not sure whether it was Barnet, Southend or P’Boro. |

I've read that somewhere before. The gypsy or whatever saw Bazza Fryup coming a mile off. I bet the gypsy went away from the meeting having a right old giggle. |

I think I'm the one who is cursed. I've been moaning since promotion to league one then I finally cracked a Rovers related smile today and that's it, our manager has f**ked off and we're going to tumble back down the table!

Just liquidate us, I’ve had enough.
Might as well start following one of those sports where there seems to be no loser and everyone gets along like Tennis and Rugby.

I've always said Tom Nicholls scoring a league goal that matters is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Turns out I was right.

Seriously, what the f**k is it about our club that we can't seem to get a break? I think we’re just an average lower league club with all the usual ups and downs these days. Things were more up and down for us in the 80s and 90s regarding our home and our future they were crazy times, and also the relegation followed by back to back promotions were a rollercoaster too. But as an overall fan base i think that our faithful and true loyalty has gone out of the window these last couple of years and many posts on here tonight particularly as well as over the last couple of years sum that up. We’re currently 4th in league one which is bloody good going probably our best season in around twenty years or something. There’s been a massive lull in morale during the last year in which we’ve gone from bottom of the league 4 points adrift to 4th in the league January to January. Our manager who has overseen that last year says he has a decision to make over the weekend with his family and you’ve only got to scroll through the threads on Gaschat tonight to see that our fan base has become much more like the 82ers than I ever thought it could have. Great times for the team anyway. And no we aren’t cursed , get behind the manager and his team who have got this far and watch them go at it. UTG |

Holy sh!t look at the title.... it's an anagram of crusader wee. Feels like I've been searching for the holy grail only to find I haven't got a pot to water in. |

Wael is probably thinking something similar. Or are you Wael? |

Been thinking the same for years. We finally got planning for the mem redevelopment, then the recession hit. We then got planning for Uwe and then shopping trends changed, so Sainsbury's pulled out. We then get new owners, but it still goes tits up.
Finally I think we are getting somewhere on the pitch, best result and League position for years, in 2 cups still etc. Went to work tonight happy, checked my phone a few hours later and bang.
