A renewed sense of purpose is running through Bristol Rovers. I can certainly feel it as well in the positive vibes from many on gas chat. The prospect of glory, promotion and possibly champions is certainly worth thinking about.

Our squad, strengthened seemingly every week, have returned to the training pitch with a fire in their bellies that's unmistakable as seen in our recent performances.

Joey Barton's passion is infectious and clearly attracts top players. We can be confident about the future. There's an aura of determination and unity around this club that's the hallmark of any footballing success.

A winning culture is being forged, and for those of us who've stood by Rovers through thick and thin, this feeling is as precious as silverware.

The whispers of hope are growing louder, not only within the stands but within gaschat. Our Dreams, long held in check, are converging with the reality of what our club can achieve. No longer looking down but looking up to the future.

Joey Barton has nurtured a spirit that is seen in of champions, and our style of play is imbued with the same energy, the same hunger that defined the great teams of yesteryears.

This season, the road to promotion is in front of us. The bus is here, as it has been since 2011, ever hopeful, waiting for us to climb aboard and carve our name in the annals of Bristol Rovers football history.

For me, I am daring to dream of the unattainable - To be Champions - the ground-breaking goal. Like everyone, I’ll take promotion in anyway.

With the right mindset and the talent in our squad anything is possible.

The bus is ready to ride again.

this bus hes banging on about isnt this reliable luxury vehicle i snapped on its way to be un-broken down? maybe its all fixed now

Sweetheart, you've heard it said that the opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference? 

You and your fellow contributors are quite clearly not indifferent to us. Your protestations notwithstanding, you are still deeply interested and even invested in us and our fate and fortune. 

Now, it is Friday evening. Let's leave it here for the weekend. 

 

It's you that make yourselves fairly irrelevant to us over the past 25 years.

Don't worry- we still dispise everything about your club - but your abject failure, coupled with constant, repeated effort to make yourselves a laughing stock - mean there isn't much else we can do than look down on you & laugh at you (regularly)

A large chunk of our fan base have never seen a league game between the 2 Bristol clubs & for that, the blame lies entirely at your door.

When you finally get your act together enough to scale the heady heights of the 2nd tier again - or, God forbid, we come down to your level - whichever happens first - the hatred of your club will come flooding back as we'll have to listen to your cringeful dirge of Irene, see the vomit inducing mess of a kit you play in & be fully reminded just what bitter, nasty little scumbags your fans & everything associated with your club are.

For the past 25 odd years we've kind of forgotten about just how vile you actually are - but it won't take long to remember - when you actually get the right to take to the same playing field as us again.

 

Do hurry up though..... we've been more than patient and it's actually getting quite boring..!

Just to get things back on track on this thread ...

Lamare Bogarde rejoins Bristol Rovers on a season-long loan from @AVFCOfficial

 

I wonder if it is just coincidence that his name is an anagram of Damage Laborer?

Sounds like he will be joining the legions of retired tradesmen to wreak havoc on the ground (with or without planning permission)!

For all I know this lad might be a decent player but like before he’s the fourth youngster to join on loan from a Prem club (2 from Brentford, 1 from Chelsea) to go with a collection of Dad’s Army signings in Friend (36 in October), Wilson (34), Hunt (33 before the year is out) & Sinclair (34).

I know some above are arguing that the hatred that exists (& I do hate them) is blinding judgement on here but trying to be dispassionate does this really seem like a recipe for success? A load of here today, gone tomorrow kids & a collection of veterans who Wilson aside weren’t playing at their previous clubs.

It does look a weaker league this season & Stevenage doing so well emphasises that, but whilst they probably will be top ten (no achievement based on the money they are committing to compared to many in their league), I just can’t see them going up.

That’s also before we get to the elephant in the room of infrastructure, no club at our level plays in a ground as ramshackle & embarrassing as theirs, new “stand” in 2024 or not, as the case may be.

Does seem like a peculiar transfer policy, one I am surprised hasn't been challenged by the club.

Get that they don't have a youth development scheme as such, so developing players for other clubs probably makes a degree of sense, but signing players at the end of their careers looking for one last payday is most odd.

The loan signings, if they do well, will go back to their parent clubs and have a proper career and the pensioners will retire. So every season the squad will need rebuilding.

Its interesting - Rovers have often adopted their 'small-time' (or 'tinpot') aspects in the same way that Wimbledon did in the 1980s, with the 'Crazy Gang' mentality - Steve Hamer, a former chairman, even directly drew this comparison. You'll recall that we actually embraced this at Twerton.

In contrast, it is City's attempt to make the leap into a genuine contender that invariably amuses. Watching you try and then fall flat on your face, as in the 2008 play-off final, is a continual source of amusement. You try so hard to be 'massive' but never quite make it. 

I’d never seen so many genuinely worried Gasheads when we unexpectedly reached the play off final. Those I knew kept making a point of letting me know that they felt that we were going to do it and it was more a case of them trying to prepare themselves for what would have been their worst nightmare and also a defeatist attempt to try and soften the blow in hope that we wouldn’t revel in it and rub it in their faces.

They bit their nails just as much as we did that day, but **** me, when the final whistle went they didn’t half crawl out from under their stones and start giving it the biggun again!

It was (even since 1982) the best finish outside of the top division and it was a little stick that Gasheads could enthusiastically beat us with for a while.

But then……..along came Colin Daniel and eclipsed everything that had gone before by a country mile. 

All those love-ins with Windass came back to haunt you big-time. Two Divorces and imaginary City fans in the Mansfield end and ‘waiting outside’ for you.

You reap what you sow and you deserve to have the piss ripped out of you royally.

You’ve completely lost your way in this thread and have now gone all philosophical Barton on us.

Any attempt by Gasheads to ridicule City will always be feeble because you have nothing of any credible substance other than singing the blues when you win and we lose (one match).

You are a sinking dinghy, certainly not the titanic (oh, thanks for that one too by the way).

The only thing that triggers anyone is when we refer to you as ‘Tinpot’

And you are so ******* TINPOT!

Oh dear. Where do you begin with that?

I assume they went on the web looking for a character whose name is Jack or Hunt.

Should have gone for Ethan Hunt, that would have looked fantastic as the tag line they have used in the picture (pushing for promotion) would have been followed with 'Mission Impossible'.

Remember Joey’s words following relegation from League One. “The other side of the City will be laughing at us, sinking ship and it’s the Titanic at the moment’.

Let's just say they do manage to get up this season, then where do they stand?

They will have hardly any players as you have stated, old ones will be gone, young ones will be gone back. They then have to try and buy players capable or even get some freebies, do they even know what the wage costs are for the Championship? They will not be getting any more revenue this season than last season, they have no other revenue streams in that effort of a stadium, so how do they pay for a promotion and just one season in the Championship? They will end up with even more debt and the cycle continues the year after. Add in the fact they don't really have any players worth a fortune so not really got anything to trade, and no youngsters from the academy going through their ranks.

They may well have a good season, they may even surprise and get promoted, but whatever happens they will be getting into a hell of a lot more debt, and how much more will the owners keep ploughing in?

It is not only repairs and servicing as their body shop also comes highly recommended ...

[RobArnold10]

You know it’s funny, I play skittles with a few gasheads, and when we talk about football (as we did last night) the conversations are actually very measured. They know we are living a different life to them, and they’ve actually accepted that. Would they love to still put one over on us or sneak back into the championship to take a proper pop? Of course. But they also know and are embarrassed about a lot of things (Barton’s behaviour, lack of a stand, etc). 
 

What that creates is a really good chat about what players they’re bringing through, what my opinion of Jack Hunt is and how that’ll look for them, and who I think will be the next big thing(s) out of our academy. 
 

It reminds me that there’s hope for them, the fan base. But I then come on here and see Hot Air and that hope comes crashing down, some of them simply cannot get over the facts, still obsessed with twisting 82 for their own envious means. Like a tv high school bully that can’t quite get their head around that everybody has the measure of them and in the real world they are completely irrelevant.

Not at all - a concentration of 'Hot Air' is expected to be moving into the OTIB forum in response to the suggestion that Birmingham fans responded to a lack of atmosphere by chanting 'is this a library'? during their 2-0 triumph. After this abject display, OTIB contributors can expect to experience a sustained depression and dark moods for the whole of next week, which will only be briefly alleviated by brief infusions of 'Hot Air'.

Sung by away supporters at every ground in similar circumstances, including yours no doubt. 

Meanwhile the greatest squad ever assembled in Bristol is receiving a reappraisal.

"I’m far from convinced by this keeper as well.
Belshaw the better of the two from what I’ve seen so far.
Collins needs a game or two on the bench he’s been out of form for about 4 months of season time and Sinclair is in form.
Finley a liability in midfield , either he’s badly out of form or his legs have gone and this is what we can now expect from him.
Start Sinclair for Collins and Bogarde for Finley next match I reckon.
Loft is useless needs to be sold / out on loan and we need a striker before the window closes."

Never heard it at the Mem. I have however heard opposition fans and managers repeatedly say that it is difficult place to play because of the home fans and the atmosphere they generate.

Collins does need to be given a rest. He has been out of form since the end of last season - he won best player in the league because of his pre-Christmas form. Bring in Sinclair and stick with Marquis upfront. 

Finley is struggling and replacing him with Bogarde for a few games seems a good decision.

Loft isn't useless but isn't a top-half L1 striker and needs to be moved on.

I see that your fans are calling for a new striker. Why not JCH? I'm surprised no championship club has taken a gamble on him yet.

He probably thought it was as true. Unfortunately some people have equivalent memory of a goldfish. I’m old enough to remember when Rovers actually had a good team that could compete in Division 2 (the equivalent of the Championship). Their current squad might be the best in the last 5 years or so, but that’s not saying very much.

Hang on a mo, earlier you state you'd 'heard' opposition fans and managers blowing smoke up your arses. Then you just copy and paste the above quotes straight from the local rag. Do you understand the difference between hearing and reading. You can't help yourselves with your delusional lying can you? 

Also you claim to have never heard the 'is this a library' sung at the memorial. You either don't go to football or as stated earlier, you are a liar.

I can understand why a team would find the Mem off putting to play at. Not because of the fans or atmosphere but because it is not the sort of stadium they would be used to as professional footballers. A confusing mess of tents and now with a few bushes and back gardens at one end.

The radio commentators will be saying 'Rovers will play towards the patio end in this 1st half'.

We see this every season in the FA cup, a Prem side will go to a non league side with a ground like the Mem and struggle to switch on mentally and play their normal game.

Are they or are they not complementary about our fans?

Did you hear fans and managers say this or did you read it? 

Try for once to answer honestly.

If you are going to come on here and criticise people's grammar and try and use big words you don't understand, at least get them right!

You are not only very offensive with what you write, you are also showing yourself up as being something you clearly are not.

Let's not start this 'our fans are better than yours' malarkey.

If you read this thread you will know we have videos and pictures aplenty to embarrass you and maybe you could quote some stories back but the amount of past material on here is huge and none of it would be complimented by any 3rd party.

You are just showing off now, aren’t you, , trying to demonstrate you know and understand the difference between ‘compliment’ and ‘complement’.

Well, I suppose that would depend.

Are they adding to your fan base or praising it?

I wasn't but will happily take the credit if I got it right!

Is there a 3rd version in Somerset? Complermernt?

You are not only very offensive with what you write, you are also showing yourself up as being something you clearly are not.

At the risk of incurring a further tutorial, would it not be be easier to say 'pretending to be something you are clearly not'? 

I have not written anything that is 'very offensive'.

This bone head is back again. Only yesterday said "leave it for the weekend", yet comes back for more.

Just can't help himself. Typical Blue Few...

You can keep your comments from the Morecambe and Gillingham managers  thanks

“The incredible fans of Bristol,” Guardiola said on ITV. “I remember five years ago when we came here for the semi-final for our first title, our first Carabao Cup. We came here for the semi-final and the environment was amazing, I remember it perfectly.

Can we just ban this ******* ***, why do we have to put up with his excrement, I wouldn't mind if he had something humorous or interesting (see Netty and Miah)  I don't think he's even an asshead, just a lonely little troll, sitting in his squalor in his mum and dads house and certainly never been laid !

It does seem odd that our moderators haven’t shut him down. Clearly only here to wind people up. Mind you,there’s a couple of our own who get away with it so maybe acting like a **** doesn’t warrant retribution.
