MK Dons and BRFC crossroad

oh dear, oh dear, oh dear .

God I can't honestly decide if I would rather Dwane sports or mike ashley own the club. Its like two different recipes for a crap sandwich

The originator of this post puts his views across in a constructive way and makes some valid points, but i believe that if you ask a lot of life long Rovers fans what made them become supporters in the first place,instead of the other historically more successful other lot,they would answer thus'because i always root for the underdog'!and i believe there are still many fans of the future who will feel like wise. We have to ask 'what kind of club do we want to be ? Do we want to be like the other money driven lot and join the selfish, greedy culture of the premiership at all cost? paying obscene wages for very average players whos names we cant pronounce or spell and have absolutely no connection with our culture or area?as far as i am concerned give me one young lad who comes up through the ranks against a thousand of these football mercenaries any day of the week.Those who cast envious eyes south of the river would do well to remember they have traveled that path before, suffice to say that should present day financial rules have been in force back then they would have been deducted so many points they would now be playing in Ashton park instead of Ashton gate! On the underdog theme Man utd world wide fan base was built on tragedy , i e Munich and it should be noted that the most successful top tier club to date built their team around half a dozen boys who came up through the ranks and had Man Utd blood running through them!it is interesting to note that the culture aint the same there now, and nor are the results! I like many others was upset when we fell into the national league but because we followed Darrell's advice and embraced the experience it was enjoyable. had we not embraced it and adopted a holier than thou attitude we would still be there now, it was rewarding to witness the dedication of fans at that level, something fans of the other lot and those in the promised land could never understand. when the present owners took over i was of two minds ,pleased that we may have the cash to complete uwe, with or without Sainsbury,but concerned we would lose our unique identity aka Cardiff and mr Tann ,Hull and many others.Happy to note that things are very much as before,! bit of a mixed bag! A figure head who is a football fan and committed gas head, face less dw sports who would ply there trade at any club and have no feel for Rovers,but are prob astute business people and concluded UWE was unviable and lets be fair, it wouldn't have been ours would it? we dont want to be tenants again do we !The prev board, while committed rovers fans , were not , in my opinion , capable of making sensible financial decisions and wasted millions on surveys, consultants, appeals and the like, and the present lot are not about to do the same.Where does that leave us? Historically we are in our rightful place in the pyramid, where would i like us to be? negative though it may sound i would like us to be a competitive championship club with a decent ground no more ,no less,anything higher and we would lose that culture that made us follow rovers in the first place, it may sound strange but a lot of Gas heads will understand exactly what i mean!Protest not for me, though ,,the pie situation needs resolving, ,and communications could certainly be a lot better, as could the pa system! and so on ,but as for banners and the like,just have a chat to those responsible, Talk, you know it makes sense!
