Anyone other than this bunch right now. I feel so disconnected to the club due to them, the family don't want to own us. They have not made any improvements other than the bars and the pitch in almost 4 years. We will never be anything more than what we are currently with them in charge. Yeah other than the bars, the pitch, the club shop, the electronic turnstiles, the new stands, the new tunnel, the big screen, the electronic advertising hoardings they've made absolutely no improvements. And if you ignore the funding of losses they've done f**k all. I always say the same about Alexander the Great. Apart from all that "conquering the known world" rubbish, what did he really do with his life? Bars, paid for by insurance claim. Big screen, took 12 months to be erected. Hoardings and Sponsorship all Tom Gorringe, fair play to him..T urnstiles, don't work some fella still opens the gate after the light flashes green. I forgot the new Tunnel some how, it's nice and blue I suppose. The pitch, desperately needed to play football on, how much did the pitch cost? Funding a loss i respect because it keeps club alive and it is not sustainable and the reason for lack of progress in the area that really matter. I want the club to be better your lordship, if you are happy just to have something to do on a Saturday afternoon, great, but the longer we decline off the pitch the more ground we lose to sh**. I know you'll disagree but people moving to Bristol or live outside of, if the sh** stay a top championship side or dare I say it reach the premiership, our numble will dwindle below the 6k gates we are getting now. It's time to act now, we have been stagnant for far too long, we are comatosed.

Argue it whatever way you want but saying they've made no improvements is clearly untrue.

Paid for a nice pitch for the paid professionals to play on. Converted an bar into a shop. Installed broken turnstiles. Installed a large TV after it been sat in storage for 12 months. Added electronic hoarding to display advertisements (one persons effort). Replaced tunnel with a blue one. Racking up huge debt.. Say what you like LJG, but in 4 years, that isn't that much, or something to be that positive about.

I don't know why you're getting so emotional about me pointing out that that is factually incorrect. There isn't an argument to be had any more than there would be if you'd said that day is night ... that isn't true either and you can't make it be by being hyper emotional about it.

Yeah he killed some people like, but everyone is forgetting he became a GP so he did do something positive for the community.

When you see GC’s comments upon joining Mansfield you can’t help but think that “an ambitious Chairman” and “great training facilities” is a swipe at the ‘evolution not revolution’ at Rovers.
Get the club sold to owners who can take the club forward. There is a brilliant opportunity for Rovers to be in the mix for promotion and there is no backing to make it possible.
It’s so bloody frustrating.

It’s so bloody frustrating. The Mansfield chairman had taken them so much higher than our board. He has been there for 7 years. GC gave the typical new manager statement. Our fans are sucked in by it, if it's about another club. If it's about ours, it must be lies though lol

He can’t talk about potential, bigger club, status, squad, bigger budget, bigger fan base etc

But jump on his comments now lol

It’s so bloody frustrating. Its interesting that no one wants to mention that we are in our highest league position in 20 years but no one wants to give the owners any credit for that. Almost all the players we have now have signed since they took over too if I remember correctly. Only Ollie Clarke left over from the Conference?

They only like to talk about the badvpoints and ignore everything else. They don't spend, even though in the last accounts our wages was 97% of our turnover. That is for all to see, but it must be wrong, as thier friends in the know didn't tell them that.

If it's about ours, it must be lies though lol He’s hardly going to rock up and say “well the chairman and his troutpout Mrs are a bunch of over rated chancers who talk an absolute load bull flies. As for the players, well, what sap signed that bunch? Come to think of it, what numb head actually approved it? Talk about a waste of money, talent and oxygen. And as for the ground, well, it would look alright if some of you would be bothered to turn up and fill it. When I’ve been here before I’ve seen more life in a cemetery at midnight.” Why am I here? Well I couldn’t be arsed to get stuck in the traffic on the M1, M6 and M5 anymore and you lot are only half hour up the road and having been up here for 20 years some of that tightness you northerners have in your wallets has rubbed off. Have you seen how much fuel is and property prices are in Bristol? If you lot had any idea you would definately voted Corbyn.” “Anyway. I’m off to meet my old mate linsey for a beer. You lot are boring me.”

He must have seen 10s of thousands of people in that time and only killed 250 of them so its only fair we recognise the good things he did right?

My god, the facilities are better than most championship clubs. Where does that sound familiar? Oh wait I remember! Was going to post the same until I saw yours. So I presume in a years time GC will move on again. Mind you after the Southend match everything appeared ok.😉 UTG!

Say what you like LJG, but in 4 years, that isn't that much, or something to be that positive about. There's that insurance claim "fact" again, another Gaschat special. What was the claim for? Iirc it was for something in the Centenary Stand. Seems strange we can afford to do up other bars with the funds for some roof repairs or whatever it was. Pretty sure the Thatcher's sponsorship paid for the bars.
