You honestly saying that if we're top at Christmas, 6 points clear, playing well, you won't go because Barton is our Manager? Yep. I despise evil thugs like him. To go to a match to hear people applauding/cheering him would be too much to bear. I will still follow Rovers from a distance but not whilst that twat is there. Hopefully he will have gone long before Christmas. All the JB lovers can see if they can visit him in Horfield Prison at Christmas! I won't go while he at the club either.

Excellent post. I've been going for 52 years and this is the lowest point.im struggling to go to games as its so boring. My 3 kids have lost interest as have lots of mates. The club I love is slowly dieing. The admin and organisation is a shambles. The stadium is a disgrace. I could go on but what's the point? I think that sums up the root of the problem. Gasheads both young and old are losing interest. That saddens me and makes me fear for the future of our club. The old fighting spirit has deserted us. The question is, how do we get that back? Win a few games and all this negative stuff will be minimised to just a few of the regular posters on here. Not everyone that supports Rovers are as disappointed as some of the posters on here.

I'm not morally outraged. I don't give a f**k who goes to games and who doesn't and why. The post I quoted said they would not attend games because Barton is a bad man. Except the games they will attend. Just noting the dissonance in that. Now I don't know if I'm supposed to go or not ... Entirely up to you and I would be the last person to judge anyone for supporting the TEAM. The charges for domestic assault and the way the club mishandled that situation was the nail in the coffin for me personally.

There’s always someone or other boycotting games for various reasons. Dunford , Higgs etc etc .
I as always follow the club not any individual.

I don't have a ST this season anyway for family reasons.

I still have a ST and I will still be there on Saturday. As much as we form allegiances with managers (Holloway, Trolls, DC) and players (Penrice, Stewart, Astafjevs, Hayles, Roberts, Lambert, Lines, Lambert, Lockyer all spring to mind), all we are doing is cheering for the shirt and the badge. They will stay forever (hopefully) whereas players and managers come and go.

Do you think there could be anything that would cause you to boycott attending games? What if Barton got found guilty of knocking his wife about and wasn't sacked? Or if he signed us a star player who had been previously convicted of something heinous? What if Wael renamed us the Bristol Pirates and had us play in red? I'm just curious as I know people who love Rovers, but have stayed away since Barton was appointed because of his character and history. Must be super hard for them to do so, so they obviously feel very strongly about it. I also know some other people that tried to boycott, but missed it so much that they have returned.. I sometimes wonder what it would take for me to boycott Rovers.. whatever it is - it hasn't happened yet (although I do not attend EFL Trophy matches while Premier League clubs can enter their development sides into it - and even then, if we made the final, it would be extremely hard not to go...)

If Barton is found guilty he’ll be sacked. Don’t think anything would stop me going apart from a merger with that lot. It’s my club , chairmen , managers & players come and go but it’ll still be my club. Just a shame it’s always crap….. somethings never change ! 😂
