There’s more to being a good striker than scoring goals. Obviously we would ideally like him to start scoring some goals, it’s only first game of the season though. Even 30 goal a season strikers don’t score every game. The OP’s post sounds encouraging about his performance, give him chance. I watched the game on ifollow and he did well when he had the ball in front of him. the problem with Lines & Co, is they could not do that and resulted in lumping in the air to him.... Something I’ve noticed the last two years, some of the midfield (inc Linsey) can’t seem to put the ball in front of a player for them to run onto! Time and again last season the ball was behind or at them, so had to check or stop their run. I think Nichols could score 40 in a season, and some on here would say he’s sh** and want him out! Kid can’t do any right! We’ve not had a 20+ goal scorer since Taylor, yet we lorded Gaffers and Harrison as they try hard, Nichols does it and he’s sh**! The double standards on here by some absolute belters is unbelievable. And as for some on Twitter! f**k me! Just get off social media! Let’s try and get behind the team and players, it’s only game 1, 90% or didn’t expect a win today anyway! Rant over! Carry on!

I thought DC said from day 1 that he wouldn’t be spending silly money on wages/fees/transfers, people complained when we did it before and it ended up giving us a reputation where we pay silly wages on silly players.
Now people want us to get desperate and start doing it again?
How do you know DC isn’t being backed?
Actually forget it, carry on with your meltdowns 🤦🏼♂️

Not too sure what all the fuss is about. He did a great job, then resigned. Move on. He's Gas through and through. Aren't we all? Twelve pages arguing about nothing! KB went above and beyond and was put in an unenviable position because his job was outsourced without effective communication. Being a respectful person considered he could do nothing but resign. The evolution of a **** corporate football club over life long Gasheads in my opinion is a ******** disgrace. And that’s what the fuss is about. You ok hun?

Question...How do we know this is true? If KB has been off the grid, how do we actually know what happened? Or...are you KB? Or TG? How do we know he wasn’t consulted, thought maybe he didn’t want a bit part role so decided to step down? How do we know that the email was an email of how the club want the future of the media to go and KB didn’t agree so walked away? I work for a company that has recently gone through 5yrs of ‘evolution’, we’ve been at the pits and now the new CEO has totally revamped the organisation, changed every director and head of service and got us to a point where we’re financially sound and challenging the ‘big guns’ in our sector, so much so that we’ve just partnered with a huge company in our sector to become the largest in our operating area. Yes plenty of people have left, including some of the longest serving people at the company, but this happens when you progress and aim for bigger things. Social media is one of the fastest growing industries on the planet and (with I guess potentially being agest), I think it’s a young persons game at the moment, it takes a lot to keep up with absolutely everything, it is a full time role overseeing with many full time hands helping underneath, and maybe KB didn’t want to give everything up or didn’t want what Rovers we’re offering him? I guess really only BRFC and KB know that? Unless of course someone from inside the club is sharing info 🤷🏼♂️ Glad to hear your company is doing well thanks to a new CEO. Lol, thanks, I’ll pass it on. (Like here though, not everyone is happy about it, and loads of rumours are being spread, many of which are just fabrication, something that’s related to a lot on here!)

Neither do I , like I said , easily accessible via email , I have sent him quite a few in the past and he does answer my questions and also he will also have a laugh and a joke. Met him on several occasions, always friendly, polite and approachable. Do all clubs treat their board the way we treat ours? I would like to think that the silent majority are happy with the way things are going and that the 'glass half empty' fans on here are few and far between. Fortunately there are quite a few posters here that are realistic and fair. Indeed! A couple of years ago, everyone was whinging because nothing was being shared to the fans, now it is, everyone is whinging! 🙄 It’s obvious that we’ll be looking for a striker, and it’s fairly obvious that they’ll hope to get someone in by the start of the season, but they can’t promise it! Common sense people!

I guess really only BRFC and KB know that? Unless of course someone from inside the club is sharing info 🤷🏼♂️ I think I've given enough information to show I know this is 100% true. Keith is not going to come out and give you the details. I have left out some bits as well. Keith worked all hours and his dept has changed a lot in the past 5/10 years. . Any idea he wasnt interested to change or work hard is laughable. If you don't look at evidence in life and then firm your opinion, I feel sorry for your general way of life. Totally understand though you might like to hear what TG says about it. Ask him - he often replies to twitter questions. I’m not fussed in asking Tom, I’m on the side of change and frankly think it’s a good thing what’s happening at the club. I’m just irked that people are coming on here putting messages down and potentially turning people against the club or members of the club, but frankly we don’t know what’s gone on, what’s been said, what’s been offered because we apparently have to believe someone behind a username. You’ve admitted yourself that you’ve left bits out, that could change someone’s opinion on how the conversation between BRFC and KB went.

agree entirely.
All we have is a handful of people telling us what apparently happened and it will be repeated ad museum by people who have heard it, but don't actually know.
You seem to be the prime mover in not wishing to believe this. Everything I write is fact. Really is. Just to clear it up because some was on another thread....... After 21 years Keith Brookman, Head of Media, offered resignation due to lack of consultation in changes to the work of his dept. asked to wait to see if board meeting could help. It didn't. Not retired. Not sacked. Not disciplined. The programme had been put out to tender by TG with zero consultation. The printer (pensord) & designer had worked all hours to tight / late deadlines. A new company was chosen to design, produce & print the award winning programme, but still no news of whether it will get produced. Maybe it will. Maybe someone else will do a great job. Fine. People are replaceable. But you don't need to bypass people and treat them like that. & all that change could harm an award winning programme, written 70% by volunteers & partly coordinated by a volunteer. The previous long standing designer, Ann Walter, in constant contact with Keith, was told by TG by email she no longer had a job. I never wrote that Keith had prog taken away from him / told by email. Not sure how TG told him. There were other incidents but not going into that at the moment. For clarity- media dept reports to Chairman. So mention of TG being his boss is simply untrue. This is public knowledge. Keith has integrity, love & his own sort of passion. Keith wasn't a greasy pole climber or awards person. He just got on with it. But he was also passionate for rovers & for the staff - I remember him telling people off for mentioning error strewn reports - I didn't totally agree with his response but it showed his passion & his loyalty to those he was helping to improve. He was the fixer for players & for charity items, hospital visits, advertising charity events etc. He was the Ray Kendall of our day. He did everything & asked for nothing. Yes he was paid but really did a lot more because he loved Rovers. Finally, just a reminder that this idea that just because he was there 21 years means he was not professional or moving the club forward is sheer tosh. And the dept has grown under him & made lots of positive changes. The videos you like The interviews you like The website you read The twitter you follow The programme you & hospitality people read The gasheads in there who get birthday greetings, get well soon messages, even death notices The charity items organised The local events advertised Where did all that come from? The catering dept? Fair enough to have a different opinion but totally ignoring evidence is a strange way to firm a rational opinion. How exactly does losing staff, volunteers & an award winning programme mean moving us forward? Question...How do we know this is true? If KB has been off the grid, how do we actually know what happened? Or...are you KB? Or TG? How do we know he wasn’t consulted, thought maybe he didn’t want a bit part role so decided to step down?

Loving the look of the kit!
Glad we’ve got more professional and going for proper kit sponsors! I guess this is why many are complaining, they prefer the rag bag Rovers and don’t want to see us actually go up and challenge with the big boys!
Big props to Tom for getting all this sorted!
Onto the training facilities and stadium, am I right lads (and lasses) am I right?! 🙏🏽😂👍🏼🔵⚪️

I’ll tell you why, because the standard on show is terrible, they stream the games online, and they buffer all the time meaning you miss the second goal and all the replays of the Tunisia game, that’s without the delay of about 5mins once all the buffering took over. Then they try and stream the game on a screen that looks like it’s being projected through a potato, it’s worse than SD let alone HD or even UHD that is now on offer! But crack on, if you want to be about a day behind the match and throw beer everywhere once a goal goes in, get it set up 👍🏼 Are you telling us you were at Trashton for the Tunisia game? Nope, I watched it at the Mem in the DriBuild Suite, and all the above happened throughout.

Question, is the new CEO thing actually happening/common knowledge? Frankly couldn’t be arsed to read 21 pages of some people slagging others off and spam in between that :-D Well it was announced by Plymouth and Rovers Gasincider though told us/exasperated about his P.A Oh yeah course it was 🤦🏼♂️ Forgot all about that. So lots of new signings on July 1st then, plus potential announcements! Basically what you’re saying is... England are bringing it home, right?

That is the statement... haha. Obviously no love lost between Holtby and Rovers. Think he has been a naughty boy He was given the unwanted responsibility of overseeing the pitch improvements yet had no expertise in this area. I have to say allegedly the contractors were being paid piecemeal and so maybe used the cheaper sand as a way to get back at the club for this. I am not a member of any IH support groups or the like but I feel he has been made the scapegoat from this. I feel quite saddened by the manner of the announcement and other staff can now see they will get the same treatment even after years of service. I don’t think he should have had any involvement in #pitchgate and that Steve Hamer and the owners should have been here to oversee and make sure all went to plan. If the alleged payments were stalked then it’s a golden opportunity for the contractors to do a Eff U manoeuvre as I see it. We shall now see if the truth is that he was escorted off if the men as i was under the impression he was paid up. My feeling is that he was left holding the baby when he made protestations that he had no experience if this Those of you who may want ti look then look at the statement made by Steve Hamer, on the OS October 1st, saying he is a valued member of staff and basucally giving us stick for stirring the pot and no truth in IH going. Another example of saying one thing but doing another I heard he was partly the reason for the pitch, and maybe conflict of interest was involved around the contractor. Along with this, doing it on the cheap so the contractor pocketed more money, thus leaving us with a sh**e pitch because they basically used gravy granules to bind the grass (as well as under seeding the pitch). So all in all...Don’t let the door hit you on the way out 👍🏼😉

I can't be bothered to read all of this.
I've heard they were going to put a cover over the home section next to the North Stand, but that's it...However, I thought they couldn't do that due to obstructing the view of the Dri Build, can anyone confirm that?

According to Maidstone, Joe Pigott has been given permission to talk to a league one team.
That’s all I have, no ITK, no sauce, basically a pointless post...
