I don’t know much about their movement but I seem to recall them taking flack several times for remaining silent so not sure it as cut and dry as you make out. That said if I was trying to repair a broken relationship with new people then I’d make sure I was making the right noises in public. In my view I don’t think you should take 100% of something ANYONE says as gospel. Bit disappointed that you've chosen to rewrite history in this way.
Despite Caz an Lucy being the founders, I'd argue that Rovers need Her Game Too more than Her Game Too need Rovers.
I don’t think I’ve rewrote anything. There were several incidents online where they took grief over Barton as people felt they hadn’t said enough ( not my view by the way). Therefore I don’t think it’s as cut and dry as they ended the partnership straight away. There is enough evidence of this on X and other platforms. As for who needs who. I’m not sure you’re correct about that but we can agree to disagree. |

I think your gut feeling is different to mine. I think tjeh have smelt the coffee like Hani Al Qadi and now are using the reverse gears quicker than an Italian tank in WW2. We must be losing £3/4/5 a year now with gates of 6,000 fans, we can’t even fill the LEGO stand. They have not purchased us for the love of Bristol Rovers, and they have set us up now because the Son swallowed a Peterborough United manual, how is that going by they, I reckon Promise could be the next Tammy Abraham!! We’ve already got the Wonga loan ticking away on the Lego Stand, you are talking £20/30 million to just make the Mem 75% Lego. I bet they are frantically looking for planning permission on the training ground and that’s light years away from diggers and us having a new training ground. If these boys were serious like the Oxford United board they’d be building a new stadium like Luton as well. They don’t have the money for a new stadium, they don’t have the money yo do the Mem and that’s why it’s all quiet. The Dad has done a Hani I bet, Son (Wael), just play with it, we can’t risk the family money on this. Wael is off, I’m pretty sure of it now, just things I’m hearing from other directors of other clubs, who all talk to TG still BTW. We hear nothing of the NBA basketball academy anymore of the US influence on us. I do like an analogy, it’s like the estate agent saying you can spend £80,000 on the house but it will only put £50,000 on the resale value and the couple don’t like the house anyway! We are Bristol Rover Middle Eastern Owners 2 now, only an idiot would do yo the Mem with Lego stands, they can’t afford proper bricks and mortar. My last point, if they were so loaded, why would they be going the Peterborough route, they could have us in the Championship like Brum City next season or the season after, a year at Swindon or Cheltenham and back in a decent stadium? Maybe, time will tell. I don't think the new owners have come in with the concept of buying promotion. I don't think they have ever said that. Sustainability has been their buzz word and it should also be ours. I like the Peterborough approach and they get more money from transfer fees that we get from gate receipts. The difficult bit is spotting the talent then improving the talent then selling the talent. In the video of George Friend on another thread at about 19 minutes, he says exactly that. Referring to players as assets and wanting to sell them at a profit. We were never going to have instant success and I do appreciate the likes of Wrexham getting promoted and being in the mix at the top of the table is a bit gutting because why can't that be us? However, let's give them the 2 to 3 years and see where this project takes us. For the record, I really like Promise and I do think he can become a 20 goal a season striker and be worth £2m in a couple of years time. Wrexham are a bit of a freak club, only this week another American billionaire has bought into them, the more irritating thing is seeing Stockport in the top 10, as surely we can compete with them? As far as PO, until he can learn to put the ball in the net regularly he's never going to be £1m+ striker. So far he's only scored in one game this season, which is a pretty poor stat. |

Fortunately Promise has been bought as a longer term investment, so no need to worry too much yet. He is contributing, and I think we will see what we are missing on that front with the immobile Martin up front. |

See you got your mojo back, with a gusto, trying to rekindle the Taylor luv in, not been great so far this season, lost over 2,000 off what was a the low bar for an opening match attendance of the season, tells a story; lets hope his fortunes change quickly.

AC went for only £750K after being L1's player of the year, whoever thought PO was worth £500K seems to have a limited knowledge of lower league football transfer fees. We paid at least double what he was really worth. |

Seeing you have taken the trouble to post the home results table, could you possibly post the one for away games. Thankyou. Is it really too hard for you to just click the "Away" button on the link? Although we all know our away from is shockingly poor, but what Rovers manager has even been sacked just because of just poor away form? |

Last 6 league games home and away we have won three and lost three. That's 69 points for the season which would be our best L1 haul for over twenty years.
So even though we may not make that total (or we may better it), I'd be interested in how it can even be discussed, at this stage of the season, that Taylor should go based on current form.
Some may not like figures like that, the only ones that really count, but they can't be denied.
