I have been a keen gashead for 50 years plus. I have seen promotions relegations, been to Wembley watched rag bag Rovers at Bath, seen some good players and some shocking players.
The time has come for me to take timeout! I am simply not enjoying watching our great club. We are mess all over, JB has been a disaster and I am fed up listening to the bollocks he talks. The football is dire, no tactics, no plan A or B. Club officials do not care and supporters numbers are dwindling. I know some of you will criticise me saying what kind of supporter am I , but until that fraud is gone I will not put a penny into this football club. No ifollow, no listening to radio, nothing! Trust me I have backed all types of managers and players over the years. Nobody has been more supportive than me. People talk about poor mental health! Watching this lot makes you feel lower than a snakes belly, no passion, no pride! Our pastimes are to enjoy not feel down trodden. JB do the right thing and get out of our club

JB do the right thing and get out of our club This Wael/Joey love-in is killing the club. Like you, I'm not going to the Mem again until Barton is gone. There must be an honest, decent, football-savy guy somewhere who can run a league 2 side on the budget Wael is providing. |

Anybody else want to make their own thread about Barton? I mean, we have nowhere near enough threads to discuss him at the moment.  People knock GGMI but at least he is trying to bring some variety of discussion on here. |

He is currently the manager of our club over seeing one of the most disastrous periods in our clubs history - of course people are going to start threads about him quick tip You Don't have to read them no one is forcing you!!!! |

I posted on this subject when Barton was first taken on. I was called all sorts of names, vilified and described as a traitor for saying that I had returned my season ticket in protest at his appointment. My reasons for refusing to support the club as long as Barton was in charge was for the sake of our young supporters who will come on board long after supporters like me have curled up our toes. I have been there for seventy years, through the old days at Eastville, the crazy days at Twerton and finally the triumphant return to Bristol. It is important to point out that the letter that my wife wrote to the CEO did not even receive a reply even though the letter was politely stating our reasons for our actions. Now we find ourselves in a most dangerous position in league 2, fighting for our future. Sorry, much as I love this club and everything it stands for, neither my wife or I will set foot in the Mem until Barton is gone. For someone who has supported this club for 70 years, it breaks my heart to have to do what I have chosen to do. Please don't have a go and call me names, just consider how people like me are feeling right now.

He is currently the manager of our club over seeing one of the most disastrous periods in our clubs history - of course people are going to start threads about him quick tip You Don't have to read them no one is forcing you!!!!Not every member wants to read the endless Barton In / Barton Out dialogue. And that includes those who want him out, the dialogue gets tiring at points and some want to focus on some of the other going on regards the club. On the flip side for those who DO still want to have that discussion, having the conversation split across 15 different topics makes it a nightmare to follow with the same points being made left right and centre. And yeah, if people aren't posting threads as 'Barton In','Barton Out','Barton Shake it All About' and something vaguely titled like this then those who are sick to death of it keep coming across the same old conversations. I'm just trying to help keep this place as enjoyable place for all that it can and not a select minority. How hard is it to keep thoughts within two or three select themed topics? (Hint - it's not!) (For what it's worth - I'm sick to death of him, want him out, and have no issue with keeping on discussing the matter) |

To be honest I have been on the “team Barton” side of things ,
but after watching that dross yesterday and his certain comments
on the game that will do for me until he’s gone, should have absolutely
no place in the club now. And another thing that pi££Ed me off
yesterday were the 2 gobby twats in the blackthorne end who had
obviously had a decent drink beforehand slating everything rovers
from the players right through to the support.Plenty people were
getting pi££ed with them and even the steward could not bring himself
to do anything when he was told to “get f##ked” by one of them.Would
rather spend my hard earned watching Weston-super-mare play.
And before anybody retorts with “ f#k off then” save your breath I’m not
interested been watching rovers since 1974 so seen more
ups and down than I could shake a stick at

People knock GGMI but at least he is trying to bring some variety of discussion on here. Normally I’d agree with you Tilly. But I guess we’re in some pretty abnormal times. It’s important that people like smudge and meldrew post and get heard and perhaps they feel more likely to be heard in a new thread than an old one several pages long. I don’t know about others but smudge’s post certainly seemed very similar to how I feel. I hope and think we’re coming to the end of this chapter in our history. Each week gets worse and worse and WAQ will need to act very soon. UTG! |

Same old rubbish being posted either Barton in or out. only interested on what is going on with the team. over the last few away games i have watched a marked improvement in the teams performances but sadly none at home and i do wonder if the team picking up the bad vibes coming from a small section of our home crowd
