I wonder how different the answers would of been about 3/4 weeks ago?
I really struggled with the 3 positives question... so much I left it blank as couldn’t think of any at the time although I’m sure there are a few if I really really think 🤔

I don't think the money men give a flying fook what we think,or even care. They should because supporters vote with their feet. And if not enough feet go through those turnstiles it hits them in the pocket. I was happy with direct winning football and 3rd in league 1 because it was the highest we’d been for decades and our players were tuned in to what their jobs were and gave 100% for that year and I thought it was good to see after what we’ve been through , a peak on from promotion back to the league , over the course of 5 years and still then rising up the pyramid of the football league despite having a non league ground. But it’s a combination of the change in what Rovers fans want ( moaning like f**k about the football when we were top six in league 1) , a board who don’t communicate at all and our brilliant manager leaving to be with his family and getting called all sorts of things on here before and after he left ( he probably hasn’t got a very good impression of Bristol Rovers faithful and true supporters no wonder he got out ) has left me feeling very disconnected with Bristol Rovers recently after 35 years supporting through thick and thin and to be honest it’s the supporters that put me off these days as much as poor football or poor managers , directors or anything else .

Now we’ve got a board with no leadership a new manager who’s on leave who has his own new ideas and is communicating those ideas to one of our coaches who is caretaker manager via phone calls . It’s a shambles .

I do wonder if the lower crowds and the basic football under coughlan played a part in his departure. For me there is something missing in the coughlan saga but im not sure what it is.

I think we are all gutted because we are still trying to cope with having a stadium ripped away from us and now we could just have had promotion ripped away from us too. Two major losses.

I emailed Tom last year to have a moan, and he sorted out a meeting with Wael and the CEO. He didn't have to arrange it and it clarified a lot of things for me. My brother who has lost all interest in the club then completed the survey last year and presumably moaned about everything. Tom then arranged for him to meet Wael and CEO too. They will give you a chance to put forward your issues, which I know a lot of other clubs wouldn't!

Unfortunately the surveys wife lives in Sheffield, it has therefore moved closer to the area and can not be found if clicked

Three positives 1 Unlike Vincent Tan, the owners have not changed the traditional colours to red 2 Due to lack of funds, the owners have not moved the club to Milton Keynes 3 The owners instal British tents, not foreign ones.

I think they took it down as it didn’t work. Club posted link again and it worked fine. I suppose they will look at results & make comments/ improvements as required
