Dins. Thanks for the updates last night. I too was glad to read them and felt the first stirrings of positivity for ages. I know from this forum that you are definitely not a tinter so it was good to hear your honest appraisal. Don't let the bar stewards get you down.

Dins, often we appear to approach the same problem from different angles but I will always read your posts/tweets with interest. Keep your chin up mate & come & join the grumpy old men (plus Simon) @ the mushroom for a poste match libation soon

Dins, don't worry about em mate. I personally think youre awesome for tweeting what you do and for fighting your corner. Even if I don't agree with you. Its often how you go about these things that is the measure.

Dins , i really wouldnt worry what other people say or type on a fotum/twitter people will always have different opionions to each other ... some found last night a positive experience, personally i was glad they held and it and appriciate that they did but i found some of the answers to SOME questions ranged from bewildering to just not good enough and there was too little depth to some answers , however i was hugely impressed by DC and also very pleased with Chris Jelf and would love to see him offered the Chairman role as he is a much more assured operator when public speaking and has a much more positive manner. I thought despite his claims Nick Higgs was very defensive and often bordering on very angry at the fact some people dared to question his answers. I thought Barry Bradshaw spoke very well and at least offered some changes , I thought Toni Watola bumbled his way through with no real conviction and hasnt lifted any fears i have about the clubs finances both presently and in the UWE led future. BSS had no real role to play did a speech saying how important fans are and that was it really no actual input beyond that (not a criticism as such there just wasnt anything for him to add too)
Ken masters had a tricky job of controlling the meeting but he caused issues with his manner and attitude at times, im sure Ken is lovely bloke but last night i saw a person who was not prepared to let some people have there say (when it suited him!) and he's comment early in the meeting to a chap at the back of the room was a disgraceful way to spaek to a supporter (claiming the chap had been scowling at him since 7pm) the poor bloke was only trying to finish asking his question, he also replied to a question about future support and proceeded rambled on for ages about the work in the community and the study programme (a great thing by the way but totally irrelevent to the question asked) all we wanted was to know why the quid a kid scheme wasnt perminent and what other/NEW methods were being used to find the next generation of gasheads!!
This is my Biggest issue with Rovers , The cheap Kids ST with an adult is great but withat least 3000 empty spaces at the ground every week IMO under 12's at least should be FREE! we may lose a small amount ion that in short term but in 5-10 years you will have a young fan base hooked on the gas and will earn the club more than its moneys worth when then turn 13/16/18... but thats prob best for another thread on its own!!

Good post but I disagree with the DC bit - he certainly likes to criticise ex-managers, ex-players and current players and yet pleads he was powerless over everything at the time. What a management team we had last season (and I include the board in this ). I wonder what his relationship will be with Marcus Stewart ? That is going to be interesting !!

I agree with Mark, DC hasnt impressed me with his say the things the fans want to hear approach. Not hugely proffessional and trying to remove the blame for relegation from himself. I hope he is as good as he thinks he is.

My view is last season he was dumped in it to work with a load of players with a bad attitude and was on a hiding to nothing and ward didnt give him much or any chance to have his say or play his way... my onky complaint with DC was the set up for the last game ... he deserves to be given a chance to prove himself and are too skint to change anyway .. he talks well lets see if it translates to results

Dins, thanks for your efforts, sadly ONE of the problems with our Club currently is the hate & venom shown by some to their fellow Gasheads

That is going to be interesting !! he was right though. would you prefer it if he didn;t speak his mind, or have solid convictions? what happened last season was a disgrace, and DC said he thought it was wrong at thetime, but he was a brand new asst mgr. have you ever tried going against your boss at work, 3 months after stepping into the underlings role? those things won't happen this season. that's good enough for me.

Bearing in mind i went out of my way to provide live streams from the q and a and welle group i cant belive some of the sh*t i have recieved on twitter and here via messages or whatever. So what if i thought Brian was a nice guy and i liked Kirsty. So what if i enjoyed myself and felt positive. Some people cant accept any form of pleasantry about the club whatsoever. All i try and do is say it how i see it. Im certainly not going to be bullied by anyone. If i criticise the club i get told im a board basher and if i praise the club i'm naive or made to look an idiot. I think some of our fans need to take a long hard look at themselves. No point using forums or trying to get involved anymore imo. Dont need the sh*t. Don't rise to it mate, I would rather see someone give their honest opinion, be it one I agree with or not, too many sheep and shyit heeds on these forums. Thanks for your efforts last.

Think how Luton and Pompey must feel.
Bloody hell, that is very sobering reading
Just read that fully and did not realise the first division relegation play off was played against the second division promotion play off teams. I can't remember that at all. Total memory block.

We have never met to my knowledge but thank you for your update via twitter which enabled me to check in as on holiday. I recognise your sentiments and get at least as frustrated with the attitude of so called supporters as events on the pitch. I note already barbed comments aimed at DC for failings in recruitment or on the pitch for what are utterly meaningless games. God help him and the team if this club fails to unite by 9th Aug.

Don't worry Chelts, we are just going to modify all Dinsdales posts to read "I love DC" from now on.
We're saving him from himself in many ways.

I didnt always like how he came accross at the meeting he was quite unproffessional and i felt he tried to hard to say things we wanted to hear. I liked his passion and optimism though. As a coach he is well respected at this level and he is trying to play football the right way which is really positive. Im more worried about the quantity then quality at this stage as cant claim to know a lot of his signings. I do believe we need an experienced striker and at least two more creative midfielders. We have a gret keeper and defence for this level but im not sure withtje reat of the side yet. I wish him good luck and hope he is as good as he keeps telling us.
