I would like something dignified like the coat of arms of Bristol shield (not the full coat of arms which I believe cant be used,I dont know why because it was used as club crest and on players blazer badges for years) thats what I would like but what I expect is something on the same lines as the pathetic pirate. The original badge cannot be copyright protected therefore any gear with it on could be produced by anyone. That was my understanding and explains why no clubs have their original badge. As I understand it any badge with the words 'Bristol Rovers' would not be allowed as the club own the name.

I completed the survey received from club and asked what has prompted this subject to be raised? I suspect it may be the link of Piracy to Slavery. If so I have enquired whether anyone in an official capacity with the club is likely to attend Qatar, given its appalling record on human, gay, women and animal rights, not forgetting slave labour and deaths re the stadium. Fifa and F A are a disgrace in being involved. I won't be watching any games and wont be unhappy if England departs early on. I empathise with the post, and in large parts agree. But, are people aware Brazil have the same record to a lesser extent? And there were local protests at the time leading up to their hosting? The world cup hosting has been issued on political terms before with South Africa, and will continue to again..... it's just a matter of where you draw your line.

I had a chat with a very right on Lefty,Palestine loving,BLM worshipping etc bloke about Rovers the other week.He is and was involved with the Labour Party and I imagine a few others groups.
He knew plenty of people involved at Rovers and reeled off their names.I had never heard of them,but if this bloke knows them then I would say there is possibly a Lefty agenda being pushed at Rovers.
This bloke even mentioned how the far Right got involved in football,70s 80s and so the Lefts involvement at Rovers was justified.
I told him I thought generally speaking Rovers had no problems and I did'nt want politics involved at Rovers.
This was just a chat with a bloke, so I can't verify anything.
When we were told 'loads of Gasheads had suggested e-tickets',I think they deliberately did'nt mention the mass majority had not asked for them.
I am sure you can take some messages from Rovers with a pinch of salt.
I wonder if the panel to discuss the clubs new badge has already been decided,i mean before the questionare was sent out?
Probably not.
Hmm,maybe that's enough for now.

On the other forum, there's a hint that piracy and slavery links have instigated this survey with a probable move away to associate ourselves with The Pirates.
Hearsay. But in this era and climate, believable.
Maybe we should apologise for Piracy? And tear down any statues relating to Sir Francis Drake? (If there are any?)..

Well if the new badge doesn't reference the skull & crossbones (which seem to be the popular choice) - then I guess we'll know. Plenty of statues of Sir Francis Drake. Plenty of people asking for them to be taken taken down.

Steve, I don't remember that ๐ BTW, I used to enjoy our chats in the good old days. Seriously. #UpTheROVERSHaha! Well me too Dave. I chat quite regularly with the bloke I mentioned , although we disagree on much.Very much. At our last chinwag ,we got stuck on..... he was 'teaching me better' and within this he said 'a white bloke does'nt/could'nt get bashed up by a black bloke'. I checked what he said and said that 'a white bloke certainly could get bashed up by a black bloke'. We had a quick bit of panto "no he could'nt" " yes he could" etc. It ended with him offering the immortal line "yes he could,but I don't want to argue about it". I think that's what comes of years of only chatting to other middle class far Lefties. Exaggerated catch phrases (that's the catch phrase!) become 'fact'. He tosses the word/insult "fascist" about with gay abandon too.Another habit picked up from 'too many Left wing meetings' (Paul Wellers middle class cousin) and dinner parties. Devaluing the insult "facisist" of course. Actually I've remembered one bloke we both know.Judah Adumbi, the bloke that got tasered in Easton,by a WPC.It got on the national news.He likes the Rovers,but I'm afraid does'nt attend,at least as far as I know.Judah is or was some kind of community spokesman,he told me,at the time we got back in the EFL "the West Indian/Jamaican community were all behind Rovers". I believe there are plenty of Gasheads in waiting and I do applaud efforts to get them to the Mem. Bloke A,he told me he saw some young lads playing football at B***** Hill. Amongst the Premier shirts there were 2 or 3 wearing the Quarters.

How about an angry looking fella wearing a black bandanna and a Scull and Crossed Bones T shirt giving the finger gesture?
