It takes a thick skin to follow Rovers and theres been a good few times that skins been breached,,recently under brian kerr results were poor but i thought us fans were absolutely superb,,right behind team until last kick of the ball. This is different though,,we could die here. Ive thought long and hard and i just cant see this lot getting better,,but this isnt as poor as it gets any longer and without intervention we will be selling pies in the lowland league

I have been a supporter since 5 years old in 1968 and can remember the bleak periods of the early eighties and mid nineties when the cub was either bottom or the bottom 2 - but had the luxury of rebuilding knowing that we were safe- the early 1985/86 period I mentioned in an earlier thread was grim until Tommy Gemmill and subsequently Davie Provan gave us success. However times are different now and bottom would mean probably East Kilbride or Cove Rangers - quite frankly on our present predicament we have not got a prayer. This is the most dramatic time facing us - indeed in my 50 years of attendance, and the experiment we undertook this year with the new intake has not paid off. I was prepared to give a 6 month wait and see period - but the prospects for possible Lower League football is catastrophic - some nice venues Dalbeattie/ Vale of Leithen etc but this is not a tourist information site and the club would not be in a position to bounce right back on their current squad. There are guys with football experience at the highest level who could surely offer a fresh perspective on the playing side who are not after immediate financial reward , but their love and devotion of the game gives them that Saturday buzz. We need to scan the country before it is too late for even the Special One to save us.

In a previous post I am backing John until end of September where I will review the results. I have ticked the "until Xmas" in the poll mainly because the Board have spoken and things are unlikely to change in 2018 due to financial reasons, or what whatever. I am fine with all of this. However, and it is a but, in January 2019 this will cost us far more than we can comprehend and in May, at the end, it may be oblivion. I just wish a couple of players arrived this week before the window ended but heh ho.
Charles has summed it up perfectly, has been a supporter a few years before I was born and for a longer time than I have been on this wonderful planet. I wont let this club die.

Surely John or a member of his team can read this. Go just go,,,,you must know theres a hole created you just cant fill,,so go and take your backroom team with you and hopefully we can find someone that can drag this sunday league lot you brought,to the next level. As a season ticket holder i wont be at another match until you are away You got any good ideas re managers etc. Andrew?? Putting yourself forward for the job??? BTW, remember you were going to take over as the Rovers Supporters Coach Convener???

BTW, remember you were going to take over as the Rovers Supporters Coach Convener??? If we continue with the current management set up then we wonโt need another or new bus convener as we wonโt have a team to travel to watch.

BTW, remember you were going to take over as the Rovers Supporters Coach Convener??? Ian i never said i was taking over or even remotely interested in taking over as convener.And thankfully its not my job to select a new manager for the club,i will leave that up to the folk at board room level. I said i thought the bus could be run better and you said i should give it a go,,i said brogan should go and you said am i putting myself forward for the job,,,,im not even gona tell you what i think of nicola sturgeon incase you have me going for first minister. Your 1 of rovers most loyal followers on here and i respect you for that,,,but remember a lot of other folk fork out hard earned cash throughout the season suporting the club and like you everyone is entitled to their opinion even if it differs from yours. Id love john brogan to turn it around i really would,it would save a fortune for the club,,but i cant see it,,and in my opinion if changes arent made then we might be testing your loyalty and patience in a lower league
