I think you'd be surprised. Aye! If you know anything about Gasheads it's that they roll up their sleeves and support the club when the going gets tough. We increased our average attendance in our relegation season, relative to the previous season. We increased it again in the Conference. We have won 8 out of 13 home games this season. We're in league 1. We own our own ground. Our players try their guts out. Is there really so much to moan about, in the grand scheme of things? Totally agree. People keep saying that we’re going through a hard time. I don’t feel like that at all. I am a bit worried we won’t get the players DC wants but that’s nothing to moan about because I don’t know yet. |

Perhaps he worked out that Chippenhamgas had been right after all and just couldn't face carrying on posting? Baggins last post |

Baggins last postI doubt it was any one individual, rather the cumulative effect of the negative posts and being told that any positive thoughts mean you are burying your head in the sand. This place became nasty at times. |

He seemed to disappear at the same time I took my break around the end of November. At that time this place was a brutal, unforgiving, threshing machine of negativity. Any glimmer of a happy life enjoying one's Saturdays supporting a middle of the road league football club was obliterated by Gasinciders repetitive insinuations and innuendo and Topper's mangled regurgitation of misunderstood half-truths accompanied by countless others picking up on all that mess and chucking it about like council estate kids throwing stones at a new car. There was darkness but I believe light will prevail. He'll be back. I was posting a lot less around the end of November - maybe he missed me!  |

Yes course there is , in fact it’s only on field affairs that make us keep the faith . I’ve been going to Rovers since 1979 and Eastville born and bred so yes I do know a few things about Gasheads being one of them. Still surprises me though how gullible and easily pleased some of our fans are . |

Where is Baggins? Anyone know what’s happened to him? Is he okay? Has he defected to Trashton? Is he being held prisoner in Bolders dungeon and being kept as a sex slave? Answers on a postcard please.  ? Not sure he is a prisoner, more willing volunteer🙈 He'd probably pay for it. |

Then by about that poster's fourth post on that thread the relentless negativity behemoth is whirring at full speed. This is a pretty light hearted thread about a forum member not posting for a while. Can you help me understand why you think this sort of comment is relevant here please? |

Answers on a postcard please. ? I`ve heard that he moved to Spain, and now supports his local team there. Calls himself Bilbao Baggins. Very good 👏 |

I do think that there are many of our supporters who actually think that everything is fine and dandy in the rose garden . As you were. |

I just got so fed up of being dragged into some of the nastiest board bashing, player bashing, club bashing and fan bashing I've read on here for quite some time that I've stepped back.
Still read though.
Cheers. Bags.

If you have supported the Gas since 1979 and feel like that now, you must have been a bundle of fun over the years  It's always been the on-field stuff that has kept us going. If you take that away, what are you ever left with as a football fan? It won't surprise you to know that I've been called gullible and easily pleased before on this forum. With experience, I have learned to take that as a compliment  |
