Wise words my avian friend. And yes it was poor choice of words on my part about the “my people” but. To be a bit less trite I was just trying to say that it’s hard to feel that I fit in. We all have different outlooks and fanbases as a whole are not special to unique than any other for that reason. But it’s still disappointing just how little tolerance there is for reasoned debate. As you say, if you aren’t towing the party line of “fing hell everything’s brilliant!” then you are asked to “f off to Ashton!” so the people in question no longer have to be exposed to your views. It is very current, you are right. Cancel culture once again- I don’t like your argument so I don’t even want it to exist. A selfish and infantile perspective but then the other forum has never been known as a last bastion of intellectual thought in the social media age. There are people on this site that seem to be online 24/7 and drone on and on with their perpetual negativity. That too puts people off. And right on cue.....

Ditto.
As for the rest, there's only one person to blame. But then nothing's his fault. Apparently.
That's all I've got to say on the subject.
Onward and upward. And then, hopefully, one will go outward.

It’s clearly a very thinly veiled dig at me and others in the “why don’t you f*** off to Ashton mould”. On that note, it’s time for me to bow out. My days of travelling the country supporting Rovers are over. I feel like Bristol Rovers in the social media age is not the same club as the one I grew up with. The D.C years were a rare highlight but the camaraderie and feel good factor that was built up has dissolved into in-fighting both inside the club and amongst the fans. It’s a husk of what it was and it’s no use me hanging around and complaining about what it’s become. It’s not going to change under Wael, people don’t want to hear it and there are more productive things I should be doing. Just please try and be more tolerant of other people’s views Best regards to all

Get yourself re-registered as soon as you feel better, dear mate. That's another one gone? B***** fans will genuinely see this vote and Wmgas's departure as victory. Shame on all who do. Who's next? Vlad? The B***** appointment and this desperate vainglorious owner are ripping the heart from this club, but all of you glad to have shut down another of us dissenters bear responsibility for the demise too. Maybe Wmgas is right.

Nobody said or implied any trite nonsense about going to Ashton. My point was there are perennial bores on here who it appears have the sole intention of playing the same dull record ad infinitum about how awful everything is that is Rovers related. That's surely as inaccurate as those that are accused of the inverse on the Gas Chat forum. Hey ho.

I feel like Bristol Rovers in the social media age is not the same club as the one I grew up with. Perhaps I`m wrong, but I think it`s probably exactly the same club as the one you grew up with. I expect that fans then held deeply differing views on Gas related events, just as they do now. It`s just that you didn`t realise it. There was no means of everybody letting everybody else, know what their opinions were. Can`t you just ignore all social media connected to Bristol Rovers, and continue to give your support on match days, accepting that people in a crowd of 6 or 7 thousand, will have many, varied and trenchantly held views?

So, let's get this straight, one forum is wrong for being miserable, the other is wrong for being too happy.
Maybe we need a 3rd forum for people who think things are 'kind of OK'?

Nobody wants anyone to go. Swiss is correct, sleep on it. Forums are full of different views and you and others who’ve left have helped invigorate this place over the past few months. Your regular posts along with epping’s will be missed. Football’s dynamic, it changes rapidly and it will do again here at Rovers. UTG!

OMG, In 30 Out 29 - Only 59 votes have been cast but does this poll reveal any real feelings among us Gasheads ?

Has the forum gained a large number of new members in the last week? The swing for B***** (ignore the pun) is worthy of an Election Night special.

Well i guess you are referring to the 1970's when loads of us used to travel -- Some actually causing mayhem and violence . The taking of ends , punch ups everywhere. Is that how you wished it was still like ? I guess not. The only problems i see today are on the Internet forums and if you can't get your head around that -- Maybe its time to find something else to do in your life.

If not for the two close and rovers crazy friends, I wouldn’t bother. I’ve been surprised by how much I’ve saved over this period.

Although I am not a fan of his I think, in present circumstances, it would be wrong to remove him now. He is working with a team he didn't build. He has been hit ny a nember of injuries which have hampered his selections, notably Nicholson and Rodman. He has had no real time to prepare for games due to the two games a week this season and, due to the pandemic, no crowds. I have seen improvements since he has come in and he does seem to have the dressing room. I am willing to get behind him if he can deliver on his promises.

But other teams have had the same circumstances so you have just given even more excuses. I don’t see how JB has the credentials for his reset or review, others have games in hand also. I always want us to win but Wael’s vision of pretty football started this run off so I very much hope he manages to get proper advice from people with experience of redressing this. As far as I’m concerned, the buck stops with him.

That's surely as inaccurate as those that are accused of the inverse on the Gas Chat forum. Hey ho. Sir. I am astonished you should even mention perennials while Sam Frost is still lurking. Down in the West Country now is always the perfect time for inaction. So in early spring we find it is only the canny operators who are hard at work digging because only they recognise the long term benefits which aeration and the introduction of well matured organic matter can bring. In a normal year common sense tells us to wait until May 9th and only then, when we have the warm, soft and moist conditions which many like yourself prefer, should we even contemplate an outdoor sow and sowing. But this season is somewhat different so to be on the safe side, after consulting Byron Moore’s Almanac, my advice is to wait until the moon rises on June 7th. Yours in Bloom L Winded Kentucky

Not aware of a mass influx but one of the Rovers Facebook fanbase pages had a post attacking posters on this forum as being anti B*****, tossers, knobs, ******, *****, and *******. When I responded (stupid I know) he basically told me to f*** off back here. Maybe some of the readers of that page are readers but not posters on here and have decided to vote. Be even better if they posted their own points of view. After all that's what a forum is for.....

You played all the hostile deliveries with a straight bat though. Other comments on that thread about there being too many snowflakes and Antifa.
