I know this was briefly covered on the Swindon match day thread when Hugo admitted he would not be attending and hoped we lost, so JB's departure would be hastened. Well we certainly lost but JB is still here and I find myself in a dilemma, after attending the Swindon debacle I was so angry and upset at the performance it took me until sunday lunch time to calm down and I know I must have been great company for my wife on saturday evening. Well I have made the decision that I will not be going to another match until JB has gone and that is hard for me after 50+ years of following Rovers, I have never missed a match before solely because of who is in the managers seat. Well that was the easy choice now I come to my big decision, do I want us to lose and hopefully Wael to see sense and get rid off him. I know what I hope for will make no difference to the result but the fact I am even thinking this way is so so sad. Just wondering if anyone else out there is thinking the same way?.

I’m going but it’s really last chance saloon for me. I expect the lowest crowd we’ve had for a league game in years.

Gotta admit I have been teetering on the edge of deciding to do something else.
You can guarantee if I don’t bother we’ll end up winning 7-1 or something

I’m probably not going to make the 200 miles round trip, partly because I can’t face the dreadful football and toxic atmosphere (if we lose) and partly because I don’t want to put my kids through it and put them off any more than they have been already. Do I want us to lose? no, ideally we’ll win this and the next 10 games and then we won’t have to worry about changing managers again (until the court cases that is!), although I realise this is highly unlikely.

What about a local non league game instead?

I’m in exactly the same boat as you Decided I wouldn’t put myself and more importantly my 12 year old boy through the toxic atmosphere, and I couldn’t justify any longer backing him as a person. I look forward to a new chapter in the club when he goes, sad times that it has come to this for me and many others. 35 years following the gas home and away, this is the lowest I’ve felt and if my boycotting games brings hone to the board how low we have sunk as a club then I’m happy doing what I’m doing. I don’t see it as a right or wrong issue, each to their own. UTG

Did not purchase an ifollow season pass due to Barton stepping on board, as soon as he’s gone I will reconsider.

It's clearly about personal choice, for me it's the whole experience. Meet a few friends have a few beers and maybe a bit of food before the game, afterwards beers with friends. Generally only one thing spoils my day out - the game.
Bought a season ticket and for various reasons missed the first three games, so far only seen two. I will be there - UTG

Just purely out of interest, are there people not going to games because of Barton or because of bad performances/results.
For example, if we pick up form under Barton in the next 5 or so games will anyone who is not going then return even with him still in charge? Or is it now stay away no matter what until he has gone?

I am in the same position and feel the same as the OP. I have a season card as well which will be put to use just not by me.

Understand how people feel but think club need us more than ever now, mind you back in the day low crowds always led to good performances , this would lead to big crowd for next game and a poor performance! hard though it is Gas Eds we gotta stick with them. Up The Rovers!

I decided after the orient game I would not be going back for a while, in any case off to Wembley Tuesday for the england hungry game so I will be getting my football fix .

People were so desperate to go and see rovers live last season me included and now a couple of months into the season people are now on about boycotts I understand how sh** we are but dear o dear talk about short memories. I put £300 into the 21/22 season to support my club and been going since 1989. But I don't enjoy going under Barton it makes every Saturday for ME depressing watching the clueless formation he chooses and player selection he puts out is mind boggling with never a plan B. Everyone can see 3 at the back don't work or putting Pitman up top by his self for example. The performances in league two this season are not only some of the worst I have ever seen but its now simply embarrassing. The way he set us up against Swindon it looked like we were playing arsenal in fact he made them look like arsenal! 35% possession at home to Swindon... We have had some clueless managers over time but JB is another level and for wael to back him up with JB's 20 defeats in 30 games and absolutely ZERO signs of him turning it around ill spend my time away from it right now and enjoy time with the family doing something else. The problem is in the dugout and Wael also who dispite I cant thank enough for his financial support but the people he's brought in has been extremely poor along with the fact that he's backing possibly are worst ever manager in our history.
