No disrespect KP but you do seem a little obsessed with mentioning the sh**.Let it go mate,the gas will always be here wether they are in the premier league or the conference.f**k them,they are nuffink. Keep those blinkers on and SL’s words will be true before you know it What difference will it make if he’s “ got the blinkers on “ as you put it or whether his eyes are wide open ? What difference is it going to make if your obsessed with the 82ers or you say f**k em we’re Rovers this is our club so who cares about them ? We’re all entitled to our opinion but none of it makes any difference to whether the 82ers are successful or we’re successful or not. All we can do is support our club. |

That is undoubtedly true but do you care that there will be a F.C. in the FL called Bristol Rovers and are still relatively well supported. You think I’m obsessed with city ? Not true but I see their crowds and I see their plans and then I look at ours and it’s pretty clear to see who is taking the initiative. I’d like to think that we can pick up some floating fans and alliances but, as it is, the only gasheads are kids being born into it and not all of them are nailed on certainties That is all I am trying to say but fair enough, looks like I’m in a very small minority. I am old enough to remember how many of our own changed alliance when they got to the old 1st division 1 and it hurt to see friends, at school, suddenly turn up with their city scarves. It will happen and I hope they can feel our hot breath upon them when it does. The “gap” is getting bigger while we do nothing |

I agree; Wael talks a lot of evolution but the only evolving thing I can see is that City will pick up more and more younger/floating fans and while we are still all talk and no trousers.
Its hard to accept the evolution not revolution philosophy when your neighbours have transformed their ground into a good modern stadium with top training facilities and signing players for £5million+.
It will be years before we even start to catch up with them, if at all. Anyone who thinks City's success wont affect us is very short-sighted.

I think you need to be at least 35/40 to really appreciate and understand the rivalry that there USED TO BE between us and The Sh*t. It's now nearly 20 years since we last played them in a league game and although football is unpredictable we are unlikely to cross paths soon.
In the meantime, away from the pitch as you last 2 guys have stated we are drifting even further away. You quite rightly say KP that the only new Rovers fans are those that are born into it like my 11 -year -old lad , but even then some of these kids don't follow their families.
Over the last few years I have taken plenty of my lad's friends to games - not one of them has become a Gashead, they either support one of the big clubs or no-one.
One small thing I'd like the club to do more is have regular open trials (a couple of times a season) for the Academy - it's letting the local public know that the club is part of the community and interested in engaging with its supporters and Bristol folk.

Good post. I'm lucky that my son & grandchildren have followed me supporting the Gas. My brother however, although classes himself as Gas, has probably not been to a game in 20 years, he only watches games on telly now - his daughter has become a 'ted as well, since the stadium rebuild. Your suggestion of open trials is a good one, but the club need to swamp all schools in north & east Bristol, out to Yate & Thornbury too. Today's floating fans though need a reason to go when it's p**sing down with rain or freezing cold & the Mem has nothing to entice people other than diehard fans, in its current state. As KP says the gap is getting wider although we are back up to L1 |

Thank you very much. At least one person gets what I am saying. I appreciate your back up. They now are getting a category A academy while we argue who will pay for a training ground and that will be done piecemeal as it is. We haven’t changed at all and are still very much ragbag or ragass as Cotterill said. I would just love to compete is all but I’m dreaming. I don’t see it happening |

I understand the evolution bit for the playing side of things, but we need urgent care off the field & ultimately this will dictate whether we can evolve further on the playing side. Not a dig at the owners but I feel like a kid going on holiday, I've been asking if we are here yet, but we've not even left the driveway & I can't even picture where we are going, as I've not been told.

It would be interesting to see what happens with the ground if we did fluke promotion one year as I understand the stadium has to be all-seater within 3-4 seasons?
Maybe that's why they aren't going all-out to achieve this?

When i first started watching Bristol Rovers back in the 60's Bristol sh**ty was classed as the "Top Dog" in Bristol, Nothing has changed since then but Bristol Rovers are still going strong. They could be champions of the world for all i care, the Gas will all ways be here in some form and i will still watch them until i meet the devil in Hell |
