This team,actually squad,I don't think it has one player that is a wee bit shy of tackling.
This has'nt always been the case at Rovers.
In the scenario a player struggles when the opposition have the ball,well it can be hard work for his team mates and for this player,it means he has to be very very good on the ball to make up for his short comings when the opposition have it.
These days,the opposition have to get past our 11 man defence.

They would actually come in larger numbers if we had a different manager - don't forget the fans boycotting the club because of Barton. Don't forget its very much a divided club and we aren't singing from the same song sheet. Just as they came in larger numbers when we were doing well under GC? Hmmm, maybe not. I didn't see or hear anythng yesterday that suggested it's very much a divided club, just a lot of happy people, enjoying good football. It would seem that there are new kids on the block now, happy to take the place of those who threw their toys out of the pram. Absolutely BG, despite the persistent efforts of a few to make it a divided club, singing from different song sheets. It must be so galling for those few, but give them their due, they keep at it. They'll probably still be whinging when we're in the Championship. |

GC wasn’t sacked in any way, shape or form. He resigned to take over at Mansfield. OK. Fair enough. The mind plays tricks over time. It was a strange one I recall now. I don't think we'll ever find out exactly what went on there. I'd still say the point remains that the club owner has made hasty decisions over his time. Iirc itb knew the facts of this It wasn't straightforward. GC had his post-Ipswich outburst which made his position at Rovers untenable. So I think he would have been sacked if he hadn't 'sacked himself' with that (so not really a standard resignation either) |

Divided club? Err.. what rationale or evidence do you have for that? Other than a few people having differences of opinion on a minor message board. There is no major division at the Club. On that you are correct Doctor. Great to hear about the game, result, and atmosphere at the Mem richmace. I'm glad everyone had a good day out. It is almost impossible to quantify how many 'regular' people have withdrawn their support due to the appointment of the manager. No major division. A small splinter group maybe. In the Thread Bristol Rovers Espirit De Corps I tried to do it. I know the Barton Fan Club would love it to be 'on the fingers of one hand'. It clearly isn't, as indicated just from contributors to this forum (minor though it is) that will not attend games. Happy Easter Sunday everyone. And here's to 3 points at Darrell Clarke's Port Vale tomorrow. |

Epping Gas, if 10 or 12 people from this message board are not attending because of Barton, it has absolutely no impact on Rovers.
Again, on Friday, we had a capacity crowd. FGR is nearly sold out, Scunthorpe already is sold out.
Anyway, it was a wonderful game, best atmosphere of the season and loads of new faces smiling, enjoying themselves and supporting our great club. Marvellous.

Still buzzing from the atmosphere at The Mem yesterday - it was something else! Great to see so many families there with young children too - maybe the future is brighter than we think? It is difficult to convey that positivity,as it has to be experienced to be appreciated. The fact that we are now faced with "having to" increase our capacity is a testament to the momentum that is growing. One thing that Joey Barton does well is that he constantly talks up Rovers in the wider context of Bristol football. This generates a collective feeling of positivity and addresses the underlying sense of cynicism within an ageing fan-base. "The Gas is coming" is a classic message of hope. But not many are arguing with that sentiment. |

This is clearly not the case. As to personal choice, I, and I believe most others on this forum, respect that. |

UTFG Doctor - It's about 20 just from this minor forum not attending games. It has no impact on how Rovers are doing on the pitch. That was not my point. I'm glad we are having bigger gates. Like I said earlier - I'm glad people are enjoying the match day atmosphere. |

Even if it is 20 (some on your list weren't attending anyway, Anne and the Piratey lady for example), you're right - it doesn't affect Rovers one iota. |

Absolutely BG, despite the persistent efforts of a few to make it a divided club, singing from different song sheets. It must be so galling for those few, but give them their due, they keep at it. They'll probably still be whinging when we're in the Championship. I think posts like that, and BG's pram-related stuff are divisive It's the sort of thing used to goad fans of other clubs I'm not galled, but I do think a day in the sun seems to have gone to your heads Joeybag out, I say .... and your own posts are not divisive? There are a few missing posters who flounced off the forum when the first Court case didn't go the way they wanted, I thought that my words described that sort of behaviour - however, apologies, it was not intended to be divisive. We're all Gasheads, some attend games, some chose not to - it's personal choice. |

Don't forget its very much a divided club and we aren't singing from the same song sheet. As a season ticket holder i attend regularly and during the pre-match and half time banter i have yet to hear anyone else who attends criticise Barton, other than perhaps for his team selection or tactics. I reckon that you could count those paragons of virtue who are boycotting the club because of Bad Boy Barton on the fingers of both yer hands. You give yourself far too much credibility. I would say there was a lot more criticism in the first half of the season, none since Christmas.
I agree though, any anti-Barton comments that I have heard during the course of the season has been the normal manager grumblings, rather than anything larger.

I`m not a member of the BFC. Win, lose or draw..down near the bottom of the league, or up near the top, I`m sad that he`s our manager. But, allow that to keep me from turning up to support the club? Not happening.

"You make it sound like it`s a binary choice." You are putting words in my mouth. Where did I say that? Or anything like that? There are people who can't stand Barton and are no longer attending games. At the other extreme you have people who back him 100% and see nothing but good in him. (Basel, Wael, Eddy Jennings). In between these view points you have the vast majority of supporters. |

I think it was more along the lines of 'we will walk this division'. So by his own standards, he has already failed. We most certainly haven't walked this division although, given some of the pravda-esque posts that we have recently had to endure, uninformed observers could easily be forgiven for concluding otherwise. Almost all other clubs wouldn't have employed Barton with two outstanding court cases and the fall-out from his departure from Fleetwood, when he left with less than glowing references from his former employer. Barton has too much baggage and history for most clubs to even consider him. Also remember that other clubs have standards to maintain. |
