A Leeds fan on Twitter said he'll hand in his season ticket if DC gets the job . They are going to want a big name in not a young up and coming manager.

the quarterly Matt tubs thread is back . Can't wait for the annual Jamie cureton thread. What about the usual Duke thread ? I hear he's a free agent. If only we signed Dawson and LDV , we really would of pushed on this year.

He'll make a good backup next year.

Why, it's Virgo's seemingly suggesting it in the FLP not something one of us has suggested? But given our new stadium is apparently similar to the Amex and built by the same builders pus it looks likely we'll only be a division apart next season it doesn't sound that daft a suggestion anyway. DARRELL SHOULD STAY TO ENJOY REWARDWHEN I was at Bristol Rovers three or four years ago, the club was a shambles: completely disorganised, everyone pulling in different directions. You had young lads in one clique, older guys in another. One board member with one plan, another board member saying 'No, let's do this'. Managers coming and going, transfers all over the place. There was no direction whatsoever and, having experienced it first hand, I wasn't at all surprised when they were relegated to the Conference in 2014. So, to see them back, in League One just two years later is remarkable and a testament to what a wonderful job Darrell Clarke has done. He stripped every-thing back and got young players hungry for success. He ripped up the wage structure so players were no longer coming for the cash. He zeroed in on everything that was rotten and fixed it. The worry for Rovers is that someone will recognise that work and lure him away. It's certainly a possibility, but I think Darrell would do well to stick around. With the new owners coming in, a new stadium on the horizon and a phenomenal fanbase, they could be like Brighton in a few years. Adam Virgo - The Football League Paper - Sunday 15 May 2016 Do buy a copy and read the one page article on Darrell Clarke: Trigger has won battle of hearts and minds
Did not know that Daz was called Trigger! There is also a long article on Lee Brown. pretty rich words from Virgo considering he was on of the main antagonists at the club when he was here . Spent more time on the water and in the treatment room than he did playing football.

Wembley needs it's financial return. True, the FA to need to pay off the incompetent Australians for building that cowshed. It will be good to see the fish back in the league again. Wonder where the bloke responsible for that mess ended up ?

Virgo was one of the worst players we ever signed , awful footballer and a terrible influence off the pitch.

Don't get why so many think Harrison has a attitude problem. He's very popular in the dressing room and Personally I think he's come on leaps and bounds the last 18 months It's not that he has an attitude problem it's just that sometimes he makes bad decisions, His scrap at Northampton, publically announcing himself to be a c*ty supporter etc Couldn't care less about what team he supports it's completely irrelevant.

I think ellis could step into matty's shoes, taylor was given a long time at the start of last season to step up to league two, something that looked unlikely for the first 15 games. Ellis is probably the better player if he can see get that attitude sorted. Don't get why so many think Harrison has a attitude problem. He's very popular in the dressing room and Personally I think he's come on leaps and bounds the last 18 months

According to their manageraccrington 'should have got promoted automatically', well now is the time for them to prove that they're the next best in the league. Not a good opinion of a manager heading into the playoffs in my opinion, entitlement never ends well He's pretty unbelievable that Coleman. He wants to concentrate on the next game rather than crying to the press cos he lost out on the autos. They had a good year but I don't see where he gets this sense of entitlement from . I think Wimbledon will do accy.

Chris lines has 9 assists this year , the highest at the club and 3 above lee brown who is in second so fair play to him.

Sorry fanboy. My grandson stayed off the pitch as was requested by the club. So he missed out on that. He is too young to celebrate on the Gloucester Riad like our older fans. So I said, don't worry, there will be a tour just like last years at which he enjoyed himself, and cost me plenty in terms of food, drink and various items that kids love in the shop etc. This is yet another missed opportunity by the club. My family come from Swansea, and know all about Hamer. The same issues about him arose there. The fans reps we're glad when he went, as he comes from the school of thinking ' what do the little people know about running a club'. Now it's happening again. Mark my words, the fans directors will be ostracised completely, the young pirates set up is still waiting for him to say hello, Just hope Wael is reachable as I don't believe for one minute he would Go along with this thinking. Presumably, the 3-4000 that turned up at the Mem last time shouldn't have bothered. Wonder how much we made from that. As for the staff issue, that's plainly crass. It's one day in the next three months, and if we were going to Wembley, they would have had to work on ( hopefully) selling three lots of tickets. That would have entailed more than one day's work. Our owners have already stated that we need to utilise the stadium more than we do now. This golden opportunity has been allowed to go the way of so many others. What a shame that after such a historic event in the clubs history all you can do is sit around sharpening your knives waiting for a opportunity to slag off the club #shitfan

Disgraceful decision. What a missed marketing opportunity yet again. What is it about this club? It seems Hamer is again behind this. 'We didn't win anything so why have one' Yes we did. We got back to back promotions for Christ sake.Now his reasoning on the club site has changed to saying the players will be here there and everywhere. Bullsh*t. If we hadn't gone up Saturday, presumably we would have declined to take part in the playoffs because our players were on holiday. We could have utilised the club bars, kitchens, and selling season tickets etc not to mention merchandise on the bank holiday of our playoff final. Trouble is it needs to be Wael you talk too in order to get rapport with the fans. The kids would have loved it just like last year when thousands came out to see it Presumably, if we go up via the playoffs for the next two years we won't have bus tours then either, because we haven't won anything. Don't tell him we won something more important than a trophy. WE WON PROMOTION. zzzzzzzzzzzz.......

As he is still under contract at Middlesboro, do we still get a promotion bonus payment ? (Don't think he actually played for them this season though?) would you have him back ?

I was looking forward to seeing a bus tour but the players and management have more than earned some time of so fair play to them.
