Seems like some on here wear their absence from Rovers as a badge of pride. Odd. It is. They seem to have turned on the club, with the same passion that they used to support it. Perhaps it`s the passion that they get off on, rather than the club.

Name one gas guzzler, absent from Rovers, you think isn't sad about it, who doesn't want B***** gone now, then for us all to be able to return to Rovers as soon as we can. I'm not getting involved in a protracted series of messages with you, in case you read something you don't like and disappear again. It seems that some think their self declared moral superiority by not attending Rovers, is a laudable trait. I disagree. That's all. How many more times. No one is claiming "moral superiority". Some people feel they can't attend while B***** is in charge. That is their decision. Why can't you just respect that? Some people have no problem attending because they support the team, not B*****. I respect that. Some people have no problem attending because they support the team and B*****.

You could just name one of us who isn't hoping B***** goes and they can all return. It seems that some think their self declared moral superiority by not attending Rovers, is a laudable trait. I disagree. That's all. There you go again. 'Some' people, again. Out with it, man! Just whom do you think?

Bossy pair you two.
Some people includes you Shoveler, or whatever moniker you have this morning.
Have a lovely day whatever you do. I'm going to walk up to Horfield later to watch Bristol's oldest professional football club and will clap and cheer if appropriate. As long as that's ok with you of course.

Okay, then you're either entirely mistaken or rhetorically dishonest. I feel in no way superior to a single Gashead, as I have made clear before. I am quite sure I am 'morally superior' to B*****, and I suspect you don't disagree. I have always respected the right and choice of every Gashead, yourself included, to support B*****'s Rovers at every match. The intolerance lies entirely with you, still sniping at those of us unable to attend. It's not mutual. Enjoy the football, Sir.

I wish I could explain how I feel, but no-one can see what goes on in someone's head. I haven't been to a game for a long time, so not going now is nothing new. But I would always listen to commentaries and be annoyed if I missed even part of a match. Now I simply have no inclination to turn the radio on.
Can't speak for anyone else, I only know how it is for me. As some seemingly can't understand those who are staying away, I find it difficult to imagine how anyone can enjoy going at the moment. But there you go, we're all different.

And I'll be fleeced by iFollow for £2.50 to listen to BBC Radio Bristol, which under their (the BBC) Charter is free to air as a licence payer. Scandalous! #UpTheROVERS

I can understand it to a degree. Think 'I'm not going to let that B***** stop me', or similar. I can't feel that way either, but I've supported Rovers under every previous manager since I started (under Holloway) including those that I really couldn't stand towards the end, so I can see why others could hold their nose and somehow dissociate BRFC from B*****. Others may not care so much about B*****'s violence, and I find that harder to see.

Yes I can see that too. Just find it hard to imagine matchday feeling the way it used to. Previous managers there was always hope they'd be gone before long, the natural order of things in normal circumstances.
Re your edit - I find that impossible to see.

OK, I’ll rise. Speaking purely for myself, I, as a non-attender, have not turned against the club only one person. I have bought a season ticket, as many seasons before, so still support the club. It’s certainly not with any passion that I find myself unable to attend Rovers’ games and living over 100 miles away I am hardly gaining any kudos from my mates. I wear my scarf as normal. I keep up with reports and videos, purely to see the development of players. I still feel the hurt of a defeat. I find it abhorrent to have B***** with his history of violence (which is still continuing (allegedly)), appalling misuse of words and the smoke and mirrors he is using to con people from Wael to the terraces in the club This is not somebody you would want associated with the now-lost image of what our club was. I find it strange that people are able to overlook his past misdemeanours (which are continuing), perhaps it’s a lowering of standards or by association his supporters consider themselves to be hard. I keep hoping to see that he is turning his behaviour around, I would return then. ‘Joey B*****’s Bristol Rovers’ continues to be dragged through the press and will do until mid-December. I would not overly rejoice should he go as that would bring more turbulence to the club and yet another wasted season. It’s hardly as if we have got a managerial genius, his record at Fleetwood was not inspiring, and he took us down let’s not forget - he had enough games to keep us up (with mostly the same players as an inexperienced Coughlan had. Gas supporters still follow the club in the thousands, they have accommodated the new leadership and good for them, this isn’t any gaining of the moral high ground, there is no one around me to ‘look down’ on, I don’t have a warm cuddly feeling quite the opposite. There is some kite flying here, so as the Rock would.say, “That’s all I’ve got to say about that”. I’ll be off to watch a level 10 game later where the pies are better than the Mem.

Holier than thou, people in glass houses. no problem with wanting him gone because he’s a Sh1t manager, but all this “Has to go because of his previous behaviour” quite frankly boils my p1ss. The owner, who has paid millions to keep this club afloat seems happy enough and without him I doubt we’d have a club to support. Wael has made that abundantly clear but don’t forget who trebled the debt and before C19. That’s disingenuous Jools because 8m of the debt that was written off was inherited.

My question is genuine, in case it needs saying. I know some advocate we stay away because empty terraces send a more powerful message than 'not a penny more', but as far as I've read, we all respect the right and choice of Gasheads who choose to attend matches. The intolerance is one way.

Seeing the determination and passion that has developed in this squad, I can't help but be enthused when watching them.

That's all we've ever asked for from a Rovers squad. Just need to get rid of the manager and all should be well with the world
