Not sure how I feel about the sacking in all honesty. We can shout about wether we think it’s the right or wrong decision but only time will tell. I get the feeling we may see someone in house take over. Maybe whelans first go in management? I can't see anybody but Mangan getting the job if the owners decide to appoint from within, it'll be interesting to see what response he gets from the players tomorrow. |

Clubs with long term success have a vision and philosophy that runs through the whole system and builds on previous work even with a change of manager. Starting again with random choices (as we did for many years) can give short term success but usually leads to long term decline. Purely based on football I think sacking Barton makes no sense but if we appoint someone likely to build on what he started I can forgive the decision. The next choice will reveal how much vision is coming from the club and ho much change has been driven purely by the motivation of managers (Clarke and Barton) rather than anything greater than that. +3 league positions in 3 years…where would we have been if he hadn’t been such a conspicuous success? |

I think he'll get a good response from the players. What will be interesting is to see whether we play any differently |

Possibly still in L2 or worse, back in the National League? The history book won't lie in the years to come, JB was one of just a handful of manager's to get us promoted in the league and he was the first Rovers manager to get us immediately promoted back to L1. |

He took us into L2, was a disaster from the day he arrived and whilst I may be in a minority, I think this is the best day for the club since the day before he took over. |

Ignoring the promotion then? |

When people say attendances are down 1500... are they actually or once you take into account the South Stand redevelopment and the rules that came in on safe standing, is that the max capacity? I'm genuinely intrigued by this. The results whilst we've been missing any defenders have been poor, but I think the style of football is such it attracted a crowd that had been passive for some time. I could easily be wrong though.

We've also not played any of the well supported sides, if the Exeter game had gone ahead then it's likely it would have been a virtual sell out. |

Good heavens. Embarrassing. Over 5000 on Instagram have thanked Joey, the haters on here are in the minority. Think they are in the majority on the other forum judging by the gloating. Still, at least the attendance tomorrow will be boosted by half a dozen or so - provided they can manage to use the electronic turnstiles installed since their last visit. |

To those who have stayed away since Joey left please don't bother coming back, we don't need you and you have shown you are not a true Gashead. Only a true Gashead would support the club whoever is in charge, carry on doing whatever else you've been doing for the last 2 an a half years, probably out shopping. |

As usual your brain can’t process the point. He asked if crowds were down because we were at full capacity. We aren’t. Therefore that’s not the reason |

Mr Barton oversaw the Gas going down, rock bottom.
Fair play for the promotion.
The Gas are roughly at the same level he inherited the club. After the negligence of Garner / Tisdale, that is.
Progress?
Thank you Mr Barton, thank, you, thank you.
To quote "It's not working mate.................."

Wouldn’t worry too much what they think or say on there. That forum has moaned pretty much about every manager , and every owner since it started. 😂 |

It's a good job we didn't all boycott the club when Joey got appointed or we would not have no club to support....have you thought of that? That's not true though is it. If the club were made aware that no fans were going to turn up because they were all united against a new appointment they would be gone. Fans have successfully boycotted clubs over player transfers in the past and the player sacked. David Goodwillie being an example. |

I'm just pleased that all those who have boycotted our club since Joey was appointed have missed the best football since the Holloway days and probably one of the greatest days in our history whilst you were probably out shopping with the Mrs. |
