That’s nice then and i am pleased to hear it as i value loyalty, very much BUT i can, with a fair amount of certainty, know who will post when this is mentioned and my point that i tried to make, is that sometimes it feels like a closed shop when i believe this forum really needs new blood, instead of the same people who then can be quite vitriolic towards new posters. John, no one has to agree with anyone else but i think it would make for a more vibrant and better forum, were certain posters more tolerant and able to at least reply , politely. I remember when i first posted here, due to my ex’s photos, being ,made to feel very unwelcome and belittled, fortunately I am very thick skinned and so the more i got in abuse, the more i posted. Others are more easily shooed away and do not come back. On the whole, this has never been a welcoming place and certain posters will attempt to make you feel bad, it doesn’t work with me. I am not in a popularity contest nor do i wish to be in with their crowd. as for Gary ? My view is unimportant in the great scheme of things but let’s just say i have received messages on two platforms on that topic but will leave it there. I was actually waiting for you to post, surprised me it was not earlier. So, you now think its ok to tell another poster to FO and go elsewhere, i had you down as bigger than that. Ah well,nevermind If this trolling that you are indulging in carries on, then I will have no option than to take this to a higher authority. You say that you have received to messages on other platforms about me. How dare you do this. I now actually feel unsafe due to your obsession with finding out about me. It is none of your business. I feel right now that you are actively threatening my well-being. Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t report you to the police for stalking. I just want to go to a game, have a good time with my friends, watch a decent game of football and go home again. My partner and family are much more important to me than Bristol Rovers FC. All the events of 2006 are irrelevant. I’m begging you please to leave me alone. Wow, if you feel so threatened then do as you see fit. I can’t stop other posters from messaging me, I didn’t ask them too. The Police would more than likely have more serious matters to deal with but please provide any kind of threats i have made, make sure you include them in your report. I am stunned at how quickly you take umbrage yet can give it out with no problem. People talk and write about other people, that is just life. I have nothing to hide so go right ahead. I am in no way trolling you, my replies have been to other people , not that this would matter to you. Then, apparently it’s all about me, go figure |

If someone wrote a post with your name in it, you'd be all over it like a case of the clap.
Please don't say you wouldn't, because you'd be telling lies.
Why you have a need to meet and "know" everyone is beyond me, but each to their own. A good friend of mine and Father Jack's once foolishly met someone from here or the other forum, who wanted to meet up to discuss different opinions. Apparently said person (not our friend) was "deeply odd".

Just to echo what a few others have said, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the old Gas Girls play their FA Cup games at The Mem.
They might have been lacking in the strength and power of the men, but it's all relative and there was a fair amount of skill on show. There was some excellent passing and movement, and it was a team I had affiliation to and able to get behind and be partizan.
I would say the entertainment value surpassed a lot of men's games I attended at the time, where the teams may cancel each other out, get a bit scrappy and gritty, or resort to hoof-ball.
Last weekend the women's 6 Nation's rugby between England and Wales was on TV, and there was some outstanding play, skill and entertainment, in front of a packed out Kingsholm.

When the womens` cricket world cup was played in this country in 2017, I saw England`s group stage game against Australia, and the semi final against South Africa, both played here in Bristol.
Both games were cracking entertainment; a last over win by three runs, and a last over win by two wickets.
When they reached the final, I was as excited as when I found my dad`s porn stash, hidden in the attic.
And I`m not even English.

And then another someone on here, who that first someone also apparently doesn't like, went and 'liked' the post written by the person from the other forum. The virtual world is an odd place. |

You two are great entertainment. Shame you are so angry and set in your dubious ways |

You two are great entertainment. Shame you are so angry and set in your dubious ways ..for Gary to feel threatened, if not joking, is truly sad as i have, in no way, EVER made threats nor looked anyone up unless i am looking for trouble makers or someone who has caused me to be stolen from or my lady and family abused. I truly do not understand your utter disdain for me as i never used bad language even let alone anything that could be construed as abusive, just lighthearted banter, with regards to your grumpy nature in the written context. Another reason i like to meet posters as, often, they are genuinely nice people and not anything like their online persona. I would apologise if i had done something wrong, i have done so on many occasions when i have either been proved wrong or been out of order, most would attest to this. I am not the person Gary Marks has painted me out to be, i was not ol,d enough to be involved in fighting at Eastville but i have admitted that i loved watching it. I even got beaten up when supporting West Ha, at AG. I did not react to that even though it’s an outright lie yet he feels threatened, you could not make it up, maybe HE really does scare easily but then, if so, i would suggest not using the net or using much less easy to identify profiles. I could even help , were i asked. I am a loyal friend and if someone shows me kindness or does me a solid, i will back them up to my last breath. I am not vengeful nor even an angry person, the polar opposite in fact. Anyway, believe what you wish, i still am open to meet and put the silliness to bed but it seems you are reticent and not keen, what is there to be scared of, in front of many other people and just talking ? Are you maybe worried you jay even like me 😂 i wish you, nor anyone here, any harm , i used to really believe Rovers was my extended family, it certainly used to be, Rovers got me through split ups, bereavements x 4, loss of earning capacity and raised enough money to bet me 2 x treatments which eventually got me the drug needed. I do not believe that would happen nowadays. I feel bloody loss and close to a bereavement, when i see the posts of particular posters as, if i felt the way you and a select few other did then I’d seriously be thinking about not being around anymore. I know i am wasting my time but it wou,d be really nice if some of you were kinder, more accepting and less belligerent but then, i am not GOD so it can’t be how i would like it to be. You project so much frustrated and withheld anger that it’s hards to believe you do not have blood pressure and stress related illness. God bless you and give you the wisdom to be kinder and maybe even just one of the thing i have mentioned, we are all Rovers supporters, that used to have meaning, to me. Now i feel a massive disconnect and not part of a bigger family. I feel a great sadness over this as we are all just human being, who have to go through the same things, sooner or later, you will find out who your true friend are when you are at your lowest ebb and especially with no income, to boot good luck and GOD help and bless you .for Gary to feel threatened, if not joking, is truly sad as i have, in no way, EVER made threats nor looked anyone up unless i am looking for trouble makers or someone who has caused me to be stolen from or my lady and family abused.

I did not react to that even though it’s an outright lie yet HE feels threatened, you could not make it up, maybe HE really does scare easily but then, if so, i would suggest not using the net or using much less easy to identify profiles.

I am not vengeful nor even an angry person, the polar opposite in fact. To be clear, i have received totally unsolicited messages about him, telling me both who he is and their views of him, i did not solicit these messages. Anyway, believe what you wish, i still am open to meet and put the silliness to bed but it seems you are reticent and not keen, what is there to be scared of, in front of many other people and just talking ?

I do not believe that would happen nowadays. I feel bloody loss and close to a bereavement, when i see the posts of particular posters as, if i felt the way you and a select few others did then I’d seriously be thinking about not being around anymore.

God bless you and give you the wisdom to be kinder and maybe even just one of the things i have mentioned, we are all Rovers supporters, that used to have meaning, to me. Now i feel a massive disconnect and not part of a bigger family. That hurts as i have gone against others of Polish heritage in being Gas. I feel a great sadness over this as we are all just human beings who have to go through the same things, sooner or later, you will find out who your true friends are when you are at your lowest ebb and especially with no income, to boot good luck and GOD help and bless you. I have to add that i really do appreciate loyalty and it’s good to see others stand up for their friends but for the right reasons and not just blind loyalty. There have been many occasions where i have been mentioned and not got i to it so I am no liar but think what you will. I was close to deleting my account but that would be a huge win for you but yet another loss to this poorly viewed forum, we really need to encourage and cajol more to post her and not be a clique of RAFC poor losers. |

You really are not joking, you would be sane in thinking this was a place where it is acceptable to abuse and belittle others, especially if you dare to question the Saints who were behind RAFC. As it happens, i have developed a thick skin and do not let this place affect my real life, i have a small circle of great and true friends but mostly nothing to do with football, they wouldn’t even dream of going to any game. So, odd it is..vive la difference |

Fair enough but please understand I didn’t make any threats upon anyone. I just got sick of the abusive crap so made a stand. It’s over as far as I am concerned |

You two are great entertainment. Shame you are so angry and set in your dubious ways It was the person our friend met, who he described as odd. I'm not calling anyone anything but am content to be called odd. Dubious is subjective. As for elsewhere here, Father Jack can answer for himself, but I know him very well and will always support him as he's a great friend. Not sure what you mean about disdain or anger, as none of that is in me. Sure as hell not frightened of anyone by the way, other than lunatic world leaders maybe. Still don't want to meet you nor anyone else from here though so thanks for the offer. That's me done on this thread as it's madness. Her Game Too. A good thing. |

Some very odd behaviour here.
If you dont like someone, why not just say it? If someone asks to be left alone, leave them alone.
Why keep digging up the past from 2006 when we have had 2 changes of ownership since then and the model proposed was good on paper, but not ground breaking enough to see Soliull Moors into the EFL yet anyway? The practical application might work as far as the conference but now you need big money to compete there as well. SM had one chance to get to the EFL and fluffed it and have not been close since.
The model for football changed considerably for EFL clubs requires money to compete in the league to the tune of around £1.5m per year. Ive never seen the complete plan of the 2006 twerton uprising but from what I understand, the proposal wasnt that good in reality which is why the board went in a different direction which caused the split and the subsequent resignations.
