mobile.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/new-way-for-overseas-fans-to-follow-the-gas-3704445.aspxSo not sure everyone knows but it's quite easy to change your IP address to confuse the computer to think your abroad, especially on android and apple devices which means you could watch all rovers game at home on your laptop or iPad and even on your tv!!! Can this be a good thing for the club? I'm Sure there will be some people that would save the money and not go to the away games and watch them at home with a beer if they could get away with it!

I feel relieved we have finished top 10 in first season back in league one but also quite gutted not to make the play offs... If only we had sweeney and Lumley from the start we would have made it in my opinion... But don't get me wrong I would have only wanted to lose in the final for revenue reasons as we aren't yet ready for championship football. I can feel the pressure already for Darryl and the board to come up with the goods and sign some real quality and keep the likes of bodin. I just really hope the board foremost sort the books out to give Darryl what he deserves because if they don't it's very obvious how ambitious he is and what he's achieved he would be off and I wouldn't Blame him... We need stadium news? I've heard the training facilities isn't going to be what was first planned, Positive transfer news and talk of signing someone soon as we're always too late (I.e Ricky miller already off to Peterborough) Just feel the board need to give Darryl every penny they can to get what he wants as it's important to keep the momentum going or end up without the best manager we've had since Gerry Francis!!! "I've heard the training facilities isn't going to be what was first planned," What have you heard? What's changed? A friend who worked for the club told me it's not what was first promised as it would have affected the budget...

Harrison i hope is only offered a years contract and decides to go elsewhere as he wasn't proven in non league/league 2 and now league one... I would rather keep Easter to be honest... James will be gone Gaffney has been ill for last two months and suffering with vertigo and I think will step it up with the right poacher next to him, Just hope and pray we have a good budget because if we don't Darryl will be off due to frustration as he's very ambitious... Ricky miller must be a signing but looks like we won't get him now as Peterborough look like signing him....

Today's match was a dull affair and ok Harrison scored he was awful until then...Marcus Stewart didn't fill me with hope after the game with his interview by saying it doesn't matter how he plays as he scores a goal as in my eyes he's not our answer and even as a squad player, With James and Harrison upfront either can't do any link play or hold it up...James is on the floor all the time and Harrison's first touch isn't good enough... We missed leads and Ollie today. We deserved the win but not a great performance but considering We played Friday and with a less effective team selected a great 3 points... We need to offload Harrison/James/Moore/mansell and hopefully buy lumley(not looking good though as qpr first keeper is wanted off a lot of teams so I can see him going back) or buy a proven keeper And bring in another left footed centre back better than Hartley and as good as sweeney( who will be playing championship football next season) and a left winger and 2 proven strikers but on a tight budget it could end up being another mix season. Let's hope the board and dc can do some good business over the summer to keep the momentum going..UTG

He's been diagnosed with cancer so not really a laughing matter and I wish him well! A member of family is on the coaching staff and told me a while ago about it, so wish him well

Couldn't make it today because of other commitments that were unavoidable. Didn't listen to the first half but managed to catch the second 45 mins commentary. I have a number of queries. Why did DC make 2 subs at the start of the second half? We had gone in level, so unless there was an injury involved, why use 2/3 of your subs without seeing how the second half was panning out? I seem to recall him saying that, having royally c0cked up the subs against Charlton at home, he had learned his lesson and wouldn't make the same mistake again. A point away from home is no bad thing. It's certainly better than no point. As a result of that foolish attempt to chase the game he had a major problem when Burn got injured, the defence was unbalanced and it's no surprise that Coventry scored after that substitution. My last point is the impression I got was that James was continually beaten to the ball and dumped on his arse, whilst Moore lost the ball virtually every time he got the ball. 2 weak links I fear. I sometime wonder if DC is too stubborn for his own good. If the players you signed prove to be not good enough you can leave them out then move them on! We expect and will forgive the occasional mistake with regards to player recruitment. Please don't persist with players that can't reach the required levels because you think you are saving face. We would rather you move them on and replace them. With the backing he now has I think it's time to stop shopping for players in the equivalent of Poundland and start looking in John Lewis. There is no evidence that the board are willing to sanction the signing of players that could command a good salary or a substantial transfer fee relative to this level so it looks like more poundland in the pre-season period. It's not down to wael or the rest of the board to spend what they want as we are now governed by the rules that states we can only by players which is in our budget which is dependent on our revenue!

I feel sorry for them as it isn't their fault as it's the I.T department for not sorting out the website as there's no option for family saver tickets???

The players we could attract aren't going to have a high market value And their wages can't be too high so that normally means lower league players so it will be a step up anyway...unless we go for young unproven players

I'm so happy with lockyer's form since sweeney and Lumley's arrival, But I really can't understand the thinking of a diagonal lump forward after everyone working so hard to retain the ball...week in and week out you see him in the right back position and gaffney calling feet up the wing and he has lines or Clarke to hit but he limps it forward to the other wing to james or it use to be the snake and 9/10 it's straight back to the opposition and putting everyone out of position and on the back foot? ? Surely the coaching staff must see this as every week everyone around me are saying the same moan " here it goes straight back to them" He's now coming into his own apart from this and it's so annoying for his sake and what it does to the game when he's more than capable of hitting feet... Before people say here we go slagging players off it's just my opinion and what this site is for.

What he brings to the team is massive when he's on form, He creates loads of space and drags the defence all over the place for the other striker, James doesn't seem to have that instinctive sense to make the runs into space that Rory creates...we would go from strength to strength, A mate of mine is a Southend fan and was in the west end the other week and after the game rang me to say "that gaffney player was causing us big problems"
