Funny how soo many are concerned about this result, when it’s a sh** competition, that nobody watches? Funny how...
When we win a game in this competition (Rovers 2 Cheltenham 0), some people show their delight with the win on that matchday thread saying things like 'that win will give the players confidence' and 'we've turned a corner' etc.
But when we lose a game in this competition (tonight), the same people say things like they 'don't care' and 'it's a pointless competition' and 'we are best out of it' etc.
Funny how...
Some people have a go at fellow Rovers fans when they admit to want Rovers to lose games to get JB sacked, saying things like 'you should want to win every game' and 'you are not a real Rovers fan if you want Rovers to lose'.
But these same people that have a go, they admit themselves that they don't care or are not concerned after Rovers lost this evening.
Personally, I hate this competition but although I hate this competition, I will still listen to the game and discuss it. I wasn't fussed when we beat Cheltenham's kids and I am not fussed we lost to Exeter. I just found tonight disappointing that we didn't learn from the league game when we conceded 4 early goals.
No, all you’ve done, is quoted, everything Barton has said, due to your self obsessed loathing for him? It’s comical 🤣

JB: "5-3 makes the scoreline respectable" are you JB’s PA ?

It would be a major concern if Wael wasn't spending £m's at The Quarters, as he clearly he has money if he wants to spend it on a project. It really is mystifying why nothing is ever spent on the fans match day experience. Has Wael spent a single penny of his own money on the Mem, apart from the pitch, since he took over, if the bar etc was done with the insurance claim pay out and the tents just rented? Club shop?
I didn't think the bar revamp was just insurance and rental of stands is still money spent. The pitch is an ongoing expense, but clearly more being spent on that than previous regimes.
Wael is caught between the hope of developing a new ground and having to carry on at the Mem, so you can't blame him for not spending big at the moment, IMO. Personally, I love the matchday experience at the Mem.
i agree with most of what you say, but loving the the match day experience? I’d take watching Rovers away, any day of the week

How hard can it really be? I bet the statos can say the goals per game ratio for Collins, James and Nichols, but with the execption of JCH who has scored constantly for us since Taylor? There must be players like Jak who could do a job at this level. We just seemed to have resorted to young inexperienced youngsters like Daly or players past their prime like Clarke and Pitman. We won't be doing much until this issue is addressed. Feel sorry for Thomas, Sammy and Evans as they are our goal threat apart from set pieces. like pitman, who when plays, scores?

I think it'll be a bad tempered game, 2-2 draw, and we'll smash them under floodlights at The Mem. Did we look through the same Chrystal bowl Tilly? 🤣

thats a personal choice surely? If your That fickle, about who you support, because you haven’t got a comfy seat for your son! Quite frankly we’re better off, without fans like that. Lovely comfy seat, but still watching the same sh**?? I agree with you.
Unfortunately if we are going to be successful, we will need to attract the "floating" fans and the casual football loving public. We cannot rely on hardcore Gasheads.
The hope is that the casual occasional visitor then develops a connection with the club.
your right mate! After 40 years of supporting the club, getting a ground is miles back in my mind, let’s just cast back 6 months ago, we couldn’t even watch a game! So I’m still extremely thankful for that. That’s why I’m riding this particular phase in the club, because that’s all it is. People will be venting there little angers, at someone else pretty soon.

Given your so convinced that the FM is the only viable option have you any idea if it is still even an option, as nothing as been said on the subject for well over a year? I can't understand why the club/Wael can't give us some kind of update instead of total silence. This post is something I totally agree with. Even my neighbours son ( age 32 ) has started to take his own son to AG and both have become season ticket holders and they're not the only ones I know of. When I questioned him . He said would you take your son to a dump like the Mem with the standard of football on offer and AG is easier to get to as well. thats a personal choice surely? If your That fickle, about who you support, because you haven’t got a comfy seat for your son! Quite frankly we’re better off, without fans like that. Lovely comfy seat, but still watching the same sh**??

There is no way we can expected to compete with a club that can spend over 5 million on 1 player. We just have to be the best we can with what we have. They were spending over a million on a player about 20 years ago, where as our record transfer still remains Andy Tillson for £370,000 nearly 30 years ago. what a great day that was 👍🏽

If it did ever happen, I’d like to see people gluing themselves to the entrance! Demanding they can still buy there stay press, Y cardigans, and doughnuts, from the Sunday fruit market.

🤣 I phone Ticketmaster now, because trying to get two tickets for me and my boy, was a joke, wouldn’t allow me to assign two together! 😩. So speaking to them, I’ve managed to get what I wanted 👍🏽 Took me a while - you have to add to your basket and the go back in and shop for the other tickets separately and then assign them to your kids’ season tickets. I would have called TM to try and then sort out reallocating to covered terracing but had lost the will by then (if it rains it will be character building … god knows the times I’ve had to watch us wet and miserable!). cant beat a little bit of character building with the kids! 🤣 washed down with no alcohol and a vegan sausage Roll

I’ve just bought two in the covered terracing?? oh. I probably just messed up then. I’ll keep fingers crossed for an unseasonably warm and sunny day! 🤣 I phone Ticketmaster now, because trying to get two tickets for me and my boy, was a joke, wouldn’t allow me to assign two together! 😩.
