Hate to say it but again, confusing an internet forum with groups wishing to affect change. Not the same thing! Besides, the OF will be back in time I'm sure. Agreed ! This blog I'm afriad was a big yawn for me - a lot of waffle and not really understanding the underlining situation.

Why are people kicking off over an article? This type of defensiveness and closing in is what has got us here in the first place. Some of us are behaving exactly the same way as those at the top! Somebody steps forward with an idea or an opinion, it could be listened to, maybe taken on board, definately understood but not our mob. Just go wading in or shut up shop completely. Is the issue here that the fanbase is not divided in some peoples opinions? Or Are people saying that the formation of a forum is not to blame for the division of the fanbase? Either way, there is no unity at this club. The apparent (Clear to me) troubles in the BoD are manifesting throughout the ranks all the way down to the supporters. There are people on forums with beef against the club from years gone by. There are people interconnected to the club in one way or another. It is going to be difficult to get 100% agreement but the common denominator should be that everybody wants whats best. I believe that with each passing day we are losing supporters of this club. The only way that will change anytime soon is with leadership from the very top. That requires Mr Higgs to break out of his protected shell and deliver the goods. The longer he fails to pull everyone together the more fractious the followers will become, then it will get thinner, then it will all dissapear. Our fall into oblivion only speeds up this process. The ball is in the Chairmans court and it's up to him to put it right. BRFC is clearly divided. The article writer has highlighted that. People don't like it but thats just the truth hurting imo. 150 spaces to the QnA next Monday. Tells it's own story. Brilliant post Simon. Hit the nail on the head. I don't understand the inability of our lot to just take it onboard and think about it a little before kicking off. I use both forums with no problem between the two at all. We are all Rovers fans. Some more vociferous in their condemnation of the board than others. The funny thing is that the majority of our support do not use any forum at all.

Thing is if someone opens an article quoting jimmy(never a skin)pursey, then quite frankly the contents is going to be bollocks, the fan base has been split ever since the club had its first supporter, its no more split now than its ever been, remember the tote all sorts of groups there all divided, how many time down there did you hear one section cheering and another chanting what a load of rubbish, the simply fact of life is that every individual on the planet is split from their peers in one way or another ,its not the end of the world its a basic human trait, its all about freedom of thought and individuality, some need to get a grip on life as if the fan base was not split it would mean we had all become ***g sheep, me im anti board, but i prefer this forum as i can freely take the water and nobody has a hissy fit and will still talk to me after an argument on here etc, so lets shut down the whole internet, politicly align ourselves to the control our lives and thoughts party then we will be 100% undivided brfc sheep, no thanks you can shove that right up your ***g ass

And to be accurate, the are currently 5 active Gas forums not just 2. However 90% of gasheads don't use any forum and never will.

I kind of agree with that there were a few strange things going on when the o.f. closed, but it passed in 2 weeks, and settled....
I think it's great that we all have different opinions, and long may it continue....
i'm on this forum because I know a lot of people on here, I've not chosen because of political decision, just a practical one....
that's all

Really, really annoyed that yet again its this forum that is accused of splitting the fan base and not the fact that many regular and vocal users on the IF made it clear we were not welcome there. If that's how people perceive us, then maybe its time to log off and f**k off. Goodbye. My apologies. I was having a bad day.
