No longer partnered with Rovers.
Both sides kept that nice and quiet.

That's disappointing, but entirely understandable, given choices BRFC have made. What's your source, syg?

I'm not surprised, their position has become untenable. The club has become like toxic waste, unscrupulous cowboy disposal anywhere but don't tell anyone.

One of the rare occasions when Rovers take the lead in something and then we go and cock it up.
What a waste !

This is a clear example. When I went to games last season it made me feel better about the club to see the HGT people handing out information. In the fans zone, lots of young people witnessing what these good people were doing and saying. Now it's gone...for what gain? |

B***** doesn’t give two hoots for Rovers brand image or the damage his behaviour does to the well-being of the club. Within his comments last week about Luke Thomas I think he gave away his inner feelings when he talked about not being able to get out of League 1 with “ players like that”. It’s probably hitting home that he may have to make good on his threat to quit management if he can’t get Rovers promoted in the next two seasons. If he is thinking about his next career move then there’s every chance he’ll pursue a scorched earth policy before he leaves by spending more money and making more contractual commitments in January which will cause even further harm to the club. |

Yes, indeed, one of the founders being a Gashead. What a shame Rovers aren't acting in a way that corresponds with the campaign. It was very cool that it was a Gashead setting it up. |

No longer partnered with Rovers. Both sides kept that nice and quiet. I noticed that was on the other place and a link provided by user roadman, in the topic of B*****’s treatment of LT |

I totally understand why they would want nothing to do with the toxic brand that is Bristol Rovers FC. It is a conclusion that I also came to, some time ago. |

I've defunded the club for a while now too.
For my own reasons.
Hey, the club rolls on and doesn't care.
That's just fine.
A shame, but just fine.
Class from HGT though.

Is this due to Jevani Brown and the recently departed David Bright ?
No smoke without fire.
Hergametoo did a presentation at Glos County Cricket club last week I was hoping to go but plumped for a trip to Sunny Spain instead!
Anyone attend and can give feedback ?

It would be interesting to hear HGT thoughts on this, but appears like they are too classy to comment. What would David Bright have to do with it? Perhaps B*****'s tasteless and offensive comments regarding mental health recently might have led HGT to withdraw their partnership. |

DB & hGT if you know ...you know A teaser ..check out a website announcement about the JB signing not B***** but the player The treatment by men of some women in and outside football is unacceptable Progress has been made but crimes against women appear to get overlooked if you are a talented player or manager. |

We should be mortified and ashamed that this has come to pass. Most Gasheads simply won’t give a toss though as long as we win the odd game here or there. Representative of the UK population as a whole sadly. Mediocrity without a moral compass

Representative of the UK population as a whole sadly. Mediocrity without a moral compass Just to point out that Her Game Too are still prominently advertised at Rovers Games as this clip from the Port Vale game shows:
I don't know Caz or Lucy, but their initiative in getting HGT off the ground was a monumental achievement. Whether formally partnered with Rovers or not, there is a visible and tangible movement to improve inclusion within the game - in no small part due to their efforts.

The club are not on the list of clubs the HGT are affiliated to but I have seen a piece that HGT put up about Rovers donating either 15 or 30 seconds on the advertising boards. on the other forum, forum user Roadman provided a more up to date link and I did tell others on here. It was on the thread about the latest outburst on LT |
