We’re not exactly fighting off the investors through. It’s not lack of ambition from me - I’d love Rovers to progress. But I don’t have the money so I’ll just have to wait for the right investor to come along. Maybe you have the cash and could invest it in the club. How do you know the new owners are not the right investors? I don’t. And I truly hope they are. And if they are we have Wael to thank. But we’ve had false dawns before so only time will tell

It’s something to be pleased about as far I can can tell. When he took over we weren’t going to get any more money from Higgs and his board - they didn’t have any more to give from what we know. And we weren’t fending off buyers either. Wael promised much but ultimately for one reason or another they didn’t come to much. However he did stabilise the club, pay off debt and keep us going. He put a lot of money into it and certainly more than I could ever imagine. If those who criticise want to put their vast fortunes into the club then be my guest but until they do I’ll be happy to let others do it. With that type of attitude Rovers will never progress from a mid table L1 side, I can't recall any of us begging Wael to get involved at Rovers, he did it all of his own free will.

Why don’t we miss out the middle and play 6 at the back and 4 up front. Sort of over the top Coughlan ball?

Excited for this one! In 30 years following Rover's off to St James's Park for the first time. How have I never been before! I shall be on the 10:54 from Temple Meads Revenge needed for the worst home game of the season! Expect to see first clean sheet and comfortable win! Red & white Stripes 0 - Gas 3 Bus replacement service? I looked and it was a sh*t show so chose to drive instead.

It’s not been a rip roaring window for us. Collins needed to go - for his sake and ours. I’m not unhappy with his departure - but I’m disappointed he didn’t manage to get firing for us at all over the past 12 months. I would have liked a marquee signing along the JCH lines but that was never likely in January and I’m glad we haven’t done a Stefan Payne type deal to compensate. Hopefully one, or more, of the loans will be good enough for what we need for the rest of the season. If the stories of the club haemorrhaging money are true then it’s no real surprise we have been cautious this window. Ultimately it isn’t my money so I just have to hope the owners do the right thing for the club.

If we bought him I would be very pleased. He’s a top striker who would score goals. My question is more about timing. If the new owners think the playoffs are achievable then he’s more likely to come. If they feel this season is effectively one to consolidate before a push next year then they might see him as a waste of money now and wait to see the bigger market and wider range of options in the summer.

So eventually I managed to get a ticket. Feel it was a lot of unnecessary hassle and should have been much easier. However I’m not in my normal area and therefore apart from the person I go with. Glad to have a ticket but disappointed with the process. Same. Thatchers end is sold out so my space in the thatchers where I go week in week out with the boy had been sold to someone who hasn't been all season. Absolute Shambles. On the plus side I've got 2 tickets in the south stand so get to see what it's like now. I’ll be standing in west terrace waving at my mate in the north terrace.

Seems like half of you aren’t looking in the right place? Don’t go into the game, go into your profile / manage tickets:reserved tickets Others with terrace have confirmed it’s there Mine shows Exeter and Fleetwood

There is clearly no benefit in having a season ticket - wont bother next year. [br They’ll take our money quickly enough but I agree. I may well not bother next season. Then I’ll probably miss games as well to save money. Good work Rovers. Don’t reward the loyal fans

Sean ticket holder in the Thatchers end - just logged in and cant see any reserved ticket. Please don't tell me that as a season ticket I have no ticket to buy??? I’m the same. What’s the point of a season ticket if it doesn’t give you at least one day to get a ticket. It’s a *ing joke.

Guys - the only priority group is seated ST holders. Terrace ST holders don’t get any priority. Seems to have sold out for terracing. I have a terrace season ticket and there was a reserved ticket in my account once I had logged in. Where was that. I’ve got nothing like that

Is it just me. As a season ticket holder in the North terrace I can’t get a ticket A mate of mine is having the same problem getting a ticket for his ST holder son. I’ll be furious if I’ve missed out. That’s the point of being a season ticket holder. I finished work and logged on and can’t buy a ticket.

Who else was there last time we had them in the cup ? Fantastic experience Yes, was there, cracking night out. Carl Saunders goal was a banger and if it wasn't for McManaman swapping wings we'd have got away with it He ripped Steve Cross apart didn’t he.

I see the bbc have put down Bristol City vs Norwich as a replay with TBC as the date. Surely it isn’t that hard to get the right team. Bet they wouldn’t do it with the Manchester teams.
They’ve corrected it now

Our rivals: 1) Bristol City 2) Bristol City Reserves Swindon, Cheltenham and Newport are irrelevant and Cardiff are more rivals of the other lot these days. Totally agree. For me we only have one rival club. The rest are irritants or a bit of banter - but not rivals. Plymouth is further away than London. But we’re rivals apparently. So why aren’t we rivals with Oxford, Brentford, Fulham, Reading etc. plus a whole load of midlands/Birmingham clubs. We also seem to be creating rivalries where none exist. It’s got to the stage where supporters love their own club and hate everyone else - there’s no calm middle ground. I know someone who ‘hates’ Grimsby because they had a drum at Wembley.
