There is no doubt the team are on the rise and now it is up to the fans to help make the Mem a fortress.
Things won't always go our way but with non stop singing, showing our support we can help. No pitch invasions, no decisive songs, just full blooded Gas supporting songs. Don't waste money at the Sainsbury supporting Welly, try the fan zone and invest in the club.
We should also try and introduce as many new fans to the Gas as possible.
We cannot expect Wael to budget to lose £millions each season, even for a successful (hopefully) promotion winning side, so dig deep Gasheads. Plenty of leisurewear, hospitality, drinks and food, and sponsorship available to purchase.
As we have outspent every club in this division (most could not afford just one player like Whelan, Coutts, Anssi or Clarke etc), the break even figure (and loses) must be huge.
Let's try and get the JB dislikers back. ie Support the team/club even if they don't like the manager.
We don't want to do a Rushden and spend huge to win a few promotions and then find that it is totally unsustainable and drop like a stone.
The extra £2-3 mill that Wael is ploughing in make a huge difference in leagues 1 and 2, but are just chicken feed in the championship.
Time to for every one of us to help grow that support and probably never a better time than when things are going so well on the pitch.
Tell your mates, family, workmates, sod it, the person you never met before in the bus queue on the way to the ground. Spread the word.
Times like these are few and far so let's make hay while the sun shines.

Starting to worry what our capacity is like these days post covid and safety reviews which have reduced capacity.
The run in is starting, I have no doubt we’ll make the playoffs and I think we’ll have a real good go at the autos.
We could be selling out in a few matches for the first time in a while.

I’d like to hope so, but I just can’t see it tbh. How many games did we get above 9/10k when we were last promoted from L2 under DC? |

Eyeballing this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015–16_Bristol_Rovers_F.C._season about 5 over 10k. Appears the main limiting factor is away attendance. We sold out the home for the last 5 or so home games if I recall correct. |

Let's try and get the JB dislikers back. ie Support the team/club even if they don't like the manager. As nice as this sentiment is; the fans I know who are boycotting are doing so because of his history of bad behaviour and how that reflects on the club as a whole. The only thing I think would have brought them back is him keeping his nose clean while employed by us. Obviously the Stendel thing happened before he joined us and he was found Not Guilty of that incident - however; the incident with his wife reinforces their perception of him and feel that it is not a good look for the club. Therefore they cannot actively support the club under his stewardship because of their own moral code. That is entirely their right and their decision and their moral code. What does not help is them being dug out by Rovers fans for their dislike of Barton. When they are mocked or when fans gloat at them about our on the pitch success or play down or glorify Barton's reputation then that will again reinforce their decision to stay away. The fanbase is still polarised and, it seems, the better we are playing on the pitch the more toxic some of our fans are off it |

Occasionally have a swift one in there on match days but sounds like I should be heading to the ground a bit earlier instead |

Well to some of the ones I am referring to it certainly has been. Very tough indeed. But instead of having sympathy to their cause - they get mocked and belittled. Some have binned off social media altogether. It is very sad. |
