Our season starts proper on Saturday and we don't have a fit recognised center half but you can tell how the fans are feeling by ticket sales. Yes i know it's only the league cup but we have sold only just over 2k tickets for a derby match against one of our fiercest rivals from back in the day, which about sums it up.
The fans now need to be the definition of "supporter" not "backbiter", "protagonist" or "cassandra". Let's put an end to this endless infighting. Mistakes were clearly made over the past couple of seasons, which the club have recognised and are trying to a) put right (in infrastructure terms) and b) mitigate against happening again through better financial control. I know this doesn't satiate the "I want it all and I want it now" fans, but it's not designed to. For the ones who want to rake over "soul selling" I suggest the time to draw a line is now and decide which side you want to stand on. The club needs its fans now more than any time in the last dozen years. Please, nobody turn your back on it just yet.
Who is Cassandra and does she know anyone who can play football well and is willing to sign in the next few days?
Please could people hurling abuse under the "Im a real supporter get behind the club" banner stop it. They arent ambassadors for the club as they are alienating the wavering fans who will be needed to retain a decent fan base. Gartom had a cheery nature and wouldnt hurl abuse at people who had genuine concerns. The new administration isnt half as nice.I find any organisation incapable of a bit of self examination to be usually inept and corrupt.
Belton hows about a deal...... Im away until the 27th August so I miss the Bury and Crawley games.........I have one adult and three kids season tickets would you like to take them for those two games, thus having a chance to see how we do in the first two games and see if DS and DRFC can restore your faith? I dont want anything in return only a promise that you will return my STs safetly and promise to cheer in my abscence?

Do us a favour? Shut the f*** up with all this depressive shit! If you've fallen out with the club because you can't be arsed to be a real fan through the tough times then so what. Go find another club. Just about sick of all the crap people are coming out with, saying they've fallen out with the club because we got relegated! Quit the bullshit and grow a pair of b*llocks! Fickle "Fans"
I'd just like to ask everybody one question.How disillusioned are you with football in general compared to your view on the Rovers.I think that the game has changed and even if we were doing well something in the game has changed, it's getting too polarised and top heavy. The Premier league are only interested in themselves.I feel more and more disenchanted with the structure rather than just my team.I'll still be there next season but it isnt the same and that's not all own to the Rovers. .

Fickle "Fans"I'm not sure if that is a serious post or a joke. I'll assume it's not a joke.I completely agree with Viva Rovers. There's nothing that I feel I can add to the points he has already made. It's a shame that the above post was seemingly in response to Viva's post. Very similar to the moronic replies his articles used to receive on Twitter.
But perhaps the very fact that some people dare to write those sentiments you so disapprove of could make you at least wonder, briefly, if things couldn't be done in a different way? when some people express criticism, it usualyl means something, somewhere isn't quite right. You may choose to ignore it, to live with it or to change things as a result of it. But each of those choices really should be a positive choice - made after thinking about the issues in question. Simply being rude demonstrates more about you than you would probably care to admit to.BobG
I could tell you, for instance, that we had an excellent player lined up to join us recently, but his agent demanded a clause in his contract that he was selected every match he was fit. The club said no.
