Think it's time for the camp pirate to go. Fully expect a new badge to be launched in the next few years, probably to coincide with move to new stadium. I actually think our crest is really smart. I've never seen the pirate as looking "camp". Much rather how it is now than some corny skull & cross bones or Cartoonish pirate like Captain pugwash! I agree, I think most really like our badge. I think it's great.

All that has been suggested is that it'll be competitive which could mean anything, I'd put our chances looking at those odds at 14/1, not sure why oxford are so high as I doubt their star player will still be with them? I'd think that a 'competitive' budget would mean a top 6 budget.Maybe only Sheff utd,Bolton and Charlton would be 100% to be higher than ours.I think that DC would have been offered a very large playing budget to work with in order to stay.I'd be amazed if our budget is not in the top 6 next season. Can't see it being a top 6 budget with some of the clubs in there!

Never underestimate a winning mentality and a settled squad. We also have the best of the lower league managers IMHO. Why stop here?

This mentality also holds us back. Not personal btw! Our atmosphere is not as good as we like to make out, but that's a separate topic.. I won't waste anymore time on this as its obvious to anybody whose honest enough to admit the truth. I agree that we need a newer bigger stadium to move the club forward but what I'm saying is our ground isn't sh** for atmosphere and the pitch isn't sh**. I go to football to watch football and enjoy the atmosphere. I think what gashead79 is trying to do is look at it from a more neutral perspective. Yes, you and I couldn't give a sh** about the standard of ground really. We love The Gas and would probably go to watch if they were playing at Eastville Park. But, to draw in those neutral fans, that are very different to us, requires good facilities. I don't really understand why myself, as it's hard to imagine not being as obsessed as I am. But clearly, as proven with other clubs and their new grounds, people do really get drawn in by a decent stadium. Add to that the fact a new stadium brings in new revenue streams, allowing us to spend more on players, improving the team, and therefore (in theory) being better to watch.... those fans then stay and then we're looking decent!

He's gotta be worth a punt especially if we lose Matty. Wimbledon can't be paying him much.

Over the moon that DC is staying with us. DC is great in motivating players and choosing "freebies" with great potential. However he is very inexperienced with purchasing players - the acquisition of Blissett was frankly a disaster. £50,000 down the drain? A big test for DC is how he now plays the transfer market. To be a top manager in the future he has got to demonstrate that he can "work the transfer market". Surely that performance bloke will play a big part in helping him with that though? Dubey will indeed essentially act as chief scout. In theory, he should have a list of players ready for DC to scrutinise and pick his favourite.

Please don't ban Bris Red for goodness sake! This isn't 1930's Germany! I am sure we can have a sensible discussion with a ted can we not?! I understand getting rid of the WUMS, but he seems ok and in fact if he is the same Bris Red as the old Bris Red then he is a worth while member having around. I mean, I'm not sure banning a Bristol City fan from a Bristol Rovers forum is quite at the level of 1930's Germany.... but yeah.

He is a great asset and I could see him being our fitness coach longer term too. Lovely bloke, very popular Definitely agree with both of these statements, even if he's on the bench for the large majority of the season (which I don't think he will be) he's so upbeat and excited to be a pro and now a league 1 pro as well, and also so professional in terms of his approaAch and the way he trains and does all of the off field work that it would be crazy to get rid of him, he's exactly the type of character you want around the place imo. Agreed, and we haven't even mentioned the fact he's probably on peanuts yet!

Sinclair will be massively important in away games, and will be a very valuable squad player. A proper fighter in every sense of the word. We have no idea how next season will go, be it a relegation battle or a promotion one, but Sincs will be a battler regardless.

Details of how to "get involved" published on the Supporters Club website this morning - including details of how much time each task takes. Get InvolvedThat article just about sums up the SC. How to put someone off in an instant! Appendix I – BRSC EC members’ responsibilities.All BRSC EC Members will:1). At all times promote and uphold the objectives of BRSC, 2). Attend all EC meetings (See Rule 4.5). (Evening meetings that usually last between 3 and 4 hours) 3). Aid and assist in the full range of activities undertaken by BRSC, to include: On match days: (Usually for between 2 and 6 hours) Assisting in the retail outlets, before & after matches, (Usually for between 3 and 4 hours) Selling matchday programmes, (Usually 2 hours) Selling 50/50 tickets, (Usually 2 hours) Taking away travel bookings, (Usually 2 hours) Taking Supporters Club Membership, (Usually 2 hours) Other Duties include: Assisting in the Kingswood club shop as requested, (Especially during busy times) Attending Committee meetings as and when required, (Normally monthly) Keeping the BRSC website up to date, (We also have Twitter and Facebook feeds) Any other ad hoc tasks as may be agreed. (Such as GK Quiz, Linking with Academy, Community etc.) Because everyone has soooo much time one their hands don't they! How about something like:- "Are you interested in helping out on Match Days? Do you have Social Media Skills? Able to assist in the shop? Organize events?" Then BRFC SC wants to hear from you! The whole setup says to me that they want help but also want to control everything. Their Twitter and FaceBook feeds are as good as dead - Didn't even realise they had a FaceBook page tbh. It is ran by older generation people who see no need to change - "we've always done it like this" mentality comes to mind. The actual website is not too bad to navigate and has some good stuff on it. The whole thing needs to be more modern. Perhaps they could also post the GasCast link, support the FFS membership, even promote the Young Pirates dare I say it! In fact the SC and YP should just be one entity with older people moving onto SC membership once they get to whatever age it is they leave YP. Come to think of it, what do the YP do? If you look at the list of "duties" Why have they not reached out to the fans and asked if anyone can automate some stuff? Away travel surely could be a simple online form that issues seat numbers etc and then you just need to print you ticket at home or have the email on your phone that morning when you catch the coach? Exactly the same for the supporters club membership! There will be someone within the support base that can make this happen. All in all, there needs to be greater integration between everyone - the Supporters Club, Young Pirates, Academy, BRFC, Fanzine and anyone else looking to assist the club. Whilst I do not have all the above skills, I have some that may help. But, I am not likely to make the commitment with it set out in such a demanding way. This is Dam spot on mate. I could offer help in several areas but not every area. And supporting the club comes first for me hence I couldn't help on match days... Therefore I can not help in the other areas that I could offer significant improvement? God damn. Stupid.

On Sky they say Leeds intent to speak to us about the availability of DC Not really, you sure you aren't just seeing bollocks on twitter? Also, why would Leeds even speak to us; he doesn't even have a contract!
