Funniest thread ever. I know he’s probably gone anyway but please don’t ban him. 😂😂😂 We need him to get us through the summer lull of boredom.

We are , we should be ashamed of ourselves but not as much as any Gashead whos either worked for lansdown or invested in his business. Our OP has done one or the other. Quite possibly both ? But we’re all wankers anyway so we should all get f**ked 😄

I get your point and it does drive me mad when the staff are employed to bring in more revenues and the basics still are miles away and I hear more good ideas coming from fans than I see happening every season. Like the new kits will turn up and within a week there won’t be hardly any popular sizes... Half time entertainment is shocking Food kiosks are a lottery for items you want

I agree with the OP. Relegation to the Conference in 2014 was bad enough, but for me a mediocre season in L1 is the final straw. After the humiliation of going out of the football league I decided sometime ago I will never moan about being in this division. Last season wasn't good but I did see some good teams such as Sunderland and Charlton and we played well at the end of season to beat joint top team Barnsley.

I would love to see Rovers get into the Championship, additional 7million income per season and more advertising may allow us to get an improved Stadium, but being where we are doesn't mean we have to moan so much things could and have been alot worse.

Save your energy for the season. Most on here are are ok and have a good sense of humour /irony! Don’t take it too serious. You sound the same vintage as me (since1966) and we’re in the same position now as we were then. And I didn’t think I’d be saying that back in 2014! We’re Gasheads, we’re used to it! UTG!

Tom gorringe for one? I’ve heard fans talking of season tickets for kids with kits thrown in... Crossbar challenge for fans with money building up in the kitty when’s it’s not won... Stuff like that... The season ticket bonuses are getting worse! I can guarantee their be down on last season and there won’t be any better incentives apart from bring a mate for half price...REALLY If you look about other clubs are doing a lot more to encourage more people to the games and our owners seem to think hit the fans with whatever as we will always get decent crowds

Lg 1 again next Season, and if that's the extent of my ambition, so be it.

More input to getting more money revenues from the club and doing the basics right has got nothing to do with bury and Coventry’s situation!!!!

I used to be one that said bollocks to half time entertainment etc as I go to watch the game and nothing else. But I seem to have changed as I've got older weirdly.
What happened to that half time challenge where different prizes could be won by scoring from different distances. Stopped after a few months?
After a sh** first half (which is often these days), a decent bit of uplifting half time entertainment may just get a few fans up for the second half!

Totally agree about not taking folk too serious on this forum Wareham. I too am of similar vintage, 1964 my first game. However, whilst I agree we were in the same position league wise, back then, were we not in a better position off the field then, than we are now? IMO I would say Eastville was a much better place to visit than the Mem is now, albeit we didn’t own the stadium ( although if the latest accounts being mentioned and the £15m sale value is true then DS owns the Mem almost outright). As a kid I didn’t give a flying F##k how the club was run, indeed apart from Bert Tann & his no sell no buy policy I wouldn’t have had a clue, I just wanted us to win.

Yes, you are right, we probably were in a better position with off field stuff but tbh so much of that stuff is outside my ability to influence it. I could wring my hands, get abusive over a lot of stuff and feel really fed up but in the end I have taken the view that my club are in League 1 (something I feared I would never see again), I enjoy going to see them (even last season) and meeting and talking to other fans when I do that. And more importantly we still have a passionate, largish following who create a good atmosphere (most of the time). Ive not got a spare £30m (?) so it’s no good me saying someone else should pay that amount just to stop me being “fed up” and it probably won’t happen. I’ve said many times how I’m surprised and sad that east/ north Bristol hasn’t been able to produce a Rovers fan/ business man with the means to do what owners of Swansea, Reading, Bournemouth, Fleetwood, Brighton and others have done but I’m not going to get miserable or rant about it. Im just going to enjoy the ride with Rovers as much as I can. (And today bask in Somerset’s Cup Final win against money-bags Hampshire😀). After all you’ve got to try and enjoy life despite all the cr**. UTG!
