Well however hard FGR tried they didn't keep our fans out  On the terrace end there were a large group of Gasheads stood together, how they got in I do not know but were segregated by a group of stewards who presumably thought better of trying to eject them and then remarkably at the end of the game as I looked across to the seated area near our away end there was an even larger group applauding our players, quite remarkable. Although I was in the away end I also shared hospitality with another 7 Gasheads as well (had an escort to the away end). We must have at least 900 possibly 1000 Gasheads in the ground. Had a great time in the official away end, even had a text from my niece in Southend asking did I really need to bring a plastic willy with me to get noticed |

I was on the west terrace i think it was a good idea for the stewards and police to create a gas section in their end.
Only down point was the one stupid sh!thead that got the kicking he deserved followed by a night in the nick.

It seems he thought that he was with a group of FGR fans who wanted to stand as close as possible to the away fans. He then piped up with "F**k Off Irene" when the away terrace was singing - that brought his night to a swift end. |

Oh my God, must have been his worst nightmare, I saw something occurring and I thought it might have been a stray FGR fan. Well done for 'sorting' him out, from what I could see he got a few 'taps' ?  |

It was probably the six fingers that gave him away.

Where theres a will theres a way. I was in the seating area right over by the gasheads. Were definately not made to feel welcome by the surrounding fgr fans. COuldn't help ourselves but jump when we scored! Got to give it to the gas supporters...from where we were sat, they were loud and couldn't of asked for much more!!

I sat with two Rovers mates, my FGR mate & a Cheltenham fan! The three of us managed to sit in our seats when the goal went in, but the 20 or so around us all went up! The locals were less than impressed! (as we were when Leeds were at The Mem!).
All in all a good night out!

I went in the home end with my FGR supporting friend and his Dad. I managed to keep my mouth shut when we scored. I didn't notice anyone else around me celebrating our goal but I was trying very hard to avoid emanating smugness.
I still think it would have made sense for them to give us more tickets. The relative paucity of tickets available to away fans added to the 1500 empty spaces always meant away fans would be in the home end which runs the risk of trouble breaking out.
I haven't been to an away match this season and I have to say it was a very surreal experience. It reminded me of watching Rovers play Yate in a preseason game a few years aga. I guess that's primarily because the area is familiar to me.
I liked their set up though. While I don't really agree with their owners decision to change their kit or their recruitment policy but I like the concept of a sustainable club with a big community presence. The ground was pretty tidy too and aspects of it felt more modern than ours.

Do you have a twin sister?? |

This season has seen a host of matches with GasHeads in your end (as the song goes).
I was stood next to a Braintree fan whom said "why should I move as I've been stood here for 50years !!" He looked like he'd taken root..
All have passed off with no direct trouble between fans.
We seem to be largely a friendly lot just interested in football!

Well however hard FGR tried they didn't keep our fans out On the terrace end there were a large group of Gasheads stood together, how they got in I do not know but were segregated by a group of stewards who presumably thought better of trying to eject them and then remarkably at the end of the game as I looked across to the seated area near our away end there was an even larger group applauding our players, quite remarkable. Although I was in the away end I also shared hospitality with another 7 Gasheads as well (had an escort to the away end). We must have at least 900 possibly 1000 Gasheads in the ground. Had a great time in the official away end, even had a text from my niece in Southend asking did I really need to bring a plastic willy with me to get noticed Well did you, and was it worth it? |

By what definition are 'FGR' sustainable? They're a rich man's vanity project, no better than Rubbish and Dustbins were.

They're clearly bankrolled and are not unique in that sense but they have some nice ideas with regard to their green agenda. |
