Tough, kept going, surprisingly good in the air, and scored a few from midfield. Was always happy when he played. Be good to see him back, but of course hope he has a mare.

Great location, but its a crap 'stadium'. As for atmos, when theres 10,000 its great. Rebuild with 18,000 enclosed capacity would make me very happy.

Sorry Cabbage Patch, an October review should have been October 2005. It was promised following the most disappointing time in the history of this club, and October is too late, if they have undertaken it, then they also promised to let us know. If they have done it, without change and in October we are not up there, we will just go round to the beginning.
Its already happened to us, we have lost football league status, something had to have changed, if it has, please let us know.

Alefe Santos. Worst player in Rovers history hands down.
Seems very harsh that, I'm not the only one thought the lad had loads of talent......

Agree with majority here, I like the attitude of DC, he's taking responsibility, he is also going for players who want to show commitment, back their abilities with reward for performances. The last 10 rotten years have been full of managers, being allowed(!!) to waste their budgets on overhyped, overvalued, over remunerated, under committed crap players who couldn't give a toss. I'm going to back this bloke, and keep my fingers crossed he half knows the players needed at this level and what they deserve if they play well and succeed.

Fully understand the comments here. My uncle took me in 1973, never forgiven him really, because the club is in me!
Strange that even the dreadful times of moving from Eastville doesn't seem so bad, but they were truly desperate times. We then had the excitement in coming back to Bristol, but the feeling last month still leaves me shocked. It all started to go wrong that awful season when we got rid of Olly, we have really been in a terrible state, its bound to deaden the feelings.
In a weird way I am beginning to start to feel determined that 'we' need to get the club back in the football league, I was hoping for a change in the board room (wanting Higgs to stay though) but it might just mean, once again, it is left to the unbelievable fans to do this. Imagine, everyone turning out and creating atmosphere with exciting forward thinking football, ok in the Conference. Pie in the sky, do we have the spirit, but I think the one bloke here worth this is DC, and those players that stay and fight the cause. Will not ever forgive this board, but doesn't mean the club (us) needs to throw it all in does it?

Personally I rated him, and think he has ability to progress. Lightweight, that's just ridiculous, was going to say wingers have been traditionally light and fast (many exceptions, Alan Walsh etc), he's got that and in the right team (forget division) think he will thrive. Hope he gets the chance wherever he goes, didn't do anything wrong for us, tried as a kid and thrown in when we were sinking, well that's no crime.

I've asked twice now on Rovers' official twitter if Sainsburys still want to buy the Mem but I haven't been answered. Wonderful communication. Should I stick post this or not? I'm neither a gossip merchant nor a scare monger (going to say exactly what you are doing) , but I've been told Sainsbury's are out. There's certain conditions that now make it undesirable. This guy doesn't get anything from saying it, I challenged; are they just looking to get a few million off...only time tells and this was whilst at the rugby with a group so I'm feeling well hacked. By all means stick the contrary, I want to believe and feel better, but don't go personal on it as it's not what I want to think about.

I also will not be following them to Trashton. If UWE proceeds, we wont be needing them with the other money spinning ventures, and a half tidy pitch as well, without them. Good luck to them.
