Thanks for all your excellent summaries in 2018. I wish that there was even a slim chance that 2019 might offer some opportunities for hopeful posts, but we have to be truthful and realistic : we're in the middle of a perfect storm.
Owned by absentee bullshitters. Tenants of a soulless 3-sided stadium. A manager I actually feel sad for (he's clueless but he cares...a bad combination for him and for us). A squad weighed down by awful summer signings and containing only a sprinkling of L1 quality players.
I couldn't make the Plymouth game but I left the Bristol Rovers game feeling exactly the same as I did after the 0-7 Wigan debacle last Xmas. On both occasions I'd taken newcomers along in the hopes they'd be enthused and become regulars, but what is there in the current situation to draw in new fans and young people, the future lifeblood of the fan base?
Old stagers like us will hunker down and hope against hope for an upturn, but I can't remember it feeling this dark even when we went down to the Conference.
