After 45 years of being an Ardent, hard Core Rovers fan , spending money on merchandise, following the team home and away with three generations of Gas Heads i'm now stopping until you and your colleagues leave our club. If you don't ....so be it ...at least my sons wont have to endure what so many of us have over the years.
My Thank You is genuine.....no more pre match nerves.... no more Saturday tension ( the buzz left years ago courtesy of the awful team we have had) no more depressed Saturday nights and Sundays. No more expenditure on Gas Player that never worked when it was needed ... No more wasted money on kit, merchandise , Corporate boxes. No wore wasted pride in being a Gas head.
No more having to put up with some of the atrocious behaviour of so called Rovers fans ... exuding their bile at dreadful players in front of youngsters, pitch invasions, fighting with police, verbal abuse on the Rovers coach and the latest punching players ! its mind numbing !! I wont tolerate that , don't want to be labelled with these morons.
I said Our club / my club was dying about eight months ago ... you are the ones administering the poison ... The true soul of Bristol Rovers has died ... on and off the pitch ... you watched it and allowed it to happen ! What is left now is the decaying body ...some amazingly think it will spring back to life ... it never will ! The truth about the stadium will soon come out and Administration will follow ... it will follow!
I can now have a decent weekend , let my bank balance grow . I would like to say Your Loss ... but lets be honest you wont or don't give a damn !!

I agree, I can't justify paying money on something that I can't get excited for anymore, watching rovers used to be the highlight of my week I now choose to work Saturdays instead it's more fun.

You won't be the only one, I think too many have now had enough and will be protesting with their absence. It is very sad but it does seem to be the only way to show those throughout all levels of the club who have got us into this position that it is serious. What's the answer?.......haven't a clue to be honest. We have an inept board, an inept manager and inept players - take your pick!

You may get called disloyal and be abused for what you have just written but many of my friends made the decision years ago and see no reason to come back. It's a crying shame as we have some really good potential in latent support that is just being discarded. Personally, I cannot see how any sane person can justify and rationalise going to games now. It stopped being fun, or even close to entertaining, a long time ago but we have some incredibly loyal support that has carried on going and even fighting a battle that was already known to be near terminal. You are right though in that those in charge will not care so long as they get 5K going. I think there is still a majority who don't fully get that conference football will inevitably lead to many more results like this. The truth is that we need to lower our expectations even further if you are to continue to support the club. I can't lower them any further and I believe many more feel the same way. Out of interest, what would see you back ? |

Wherever I have been in the world, I have always found a paper of some news on Rovers. My American Neohews think it's nuts |

That club may as well go part time. It works for Braintree and Altrimcham, and will no doubt save a fair wedge.

KP my old friend,
You asked what would bring me back .... I don't know !
If they won every game for the rest of the season, Won the FA trophy and Horse of the year show I wouldn't come back.... its not my beloved club anymore.
Ironically ... if this set of Board cronies left ...we dropped another division and announced a policy of only playing young local Bristolian talent I might go again.
The blockers are in Box One !

As much as i agree with some of your points Somerset, i can't find it in myself to not go and support my beloved Rovers in their hour of need.
It will be interesting to see how our home gates react to our poor form, up to now i think most supporters are still behind the club

Totally agree with SB - As stated a number of times, I have no intentions of attending any more games, and this is after a life time of supporting the Gas. [Attending games since 1966]
Yes Mr Higgs you are a real winner .. Congratulations, your football CV is one to be proud off!!

I'm taking back my Lincoln coach and match ticket today, using the money towards my Dublin fund. Three matches in three days will be lovely! Seeing a Bristol side in an away Champions League game will be a treat followed by a trip to Bohemians (proper old club) and then Ireland - Gibraltar. It just all looks a bit nicer than Lincoln.

[Attending games since 1966] Yes Mr Higgs you are a real winner .. Congratulations, your football CV is one to be proud off!! Ditto myself and son, I've been going since 1973 and had an ST for more years than I can remember but stopped going at the end of the season before last. Now we've been through all sorts of up's and down's over all those years as a club and team but nothing before that made me consider quitting watching the team I love. Agree with you bluecamel - the MAIN reason I stopped going was the way the club was being run into the ground by the inept regime running (ruining?) it. Sure the football was dire when I made my decision but the No1 main reason was how Higgs & Co have ruined the club I love and all the divisions amongst supporters that they have created over the years and allowed to fester under their watch. The white elephant stadium has destroyed BRFC. The stadium plan only really existed as a scheme whereby the directors got their loans paid back. It has not, and probably never will benefit us supporters in any way now or in the future and that I firmly believe. Too many fans IMHO saw it as a mirage of an oasis in the barren dessert that is BRFC. So I echo your words bluecamel - Well done Mr Higgs you are a real winner! |

Or is that it now, never ever again as long as your poo poo hole points down ?? |
