By popular demand here's an age and outlook poll.
Just do your age and whether you consider you have a vaguely positive or negative view of BRFC's future.
If you are purely 'undecided,' then don't bother voting (I didn't really see the need to add that option).

Tough one to answer tbh.
90% of the time and in long term I'm positive, but at the moment I'm not feeling positive at all. Although I think that's mostly results influenced.
Sticking with positive!

It's very difficult to feel positive at the moment and I'm trying not to be negative, so I'll (60's - just) abstain.

30s (just!) and negative for me I'm afraid. Nothing seems to be moving forward with the off the field issues and the results that were keeping me positive under Coughlan have taken a nosedive so that has gone too!

I'm 30's and neutral if truth be told; however given the choice I'd say at present, swaying toward the negative.

I also generally try and see the positives and always have done when it comes to Rovers. If it was just on the pitch, I could give us the benefit of the doubt that we’re trying to implement something long term, we’ve had bad luck with Garner’s family situation and we have to be patient.
Off field it is really hard to be anything other than negative. We have owners who don’t comment anymore even when the club is in crisis and a CEO who might as well not comment as he doesn’t want or isn’t able to tell us anything. Therefore as fans we’re completely in the dark whilst rumours swirl around about the owners wanting to sell and the proposed stadium situation falling flat. All of this is taking place against the backdrop of falling crowds and increasing debt. Happy days!! I’m in my early 40s.

I can't possibly be positive when I just seem to spend my entire time supporting rovers on the fence....
And when the occasion comes when I get of the fence, pretty soon I'm on a different one....
Bloody fences....

By popular demand here's an age and outlook poll. Just do your age and whether you consider you have a vaguely positive or negative view of BRFC's future. If you are purely 'undecided,' then don't bother voting (I didn't really see the need to add that option). was going to do this myself after my comment on silver surfers |

Nothing seems to be moving forward with the off the field issues and the results that were keeping me positive under Coughlan have taken a nosedive so that has gone too! Quite! Similar, I’m normally a rose tinter and expect us to do better on the pitch but not convinced by our direction and think our season is going to be a lot more painful yet. Lost all hope regards stadium matters whilst this ownership continues |

30's negative for me too. It's a strange one because during last season I was actually strangely positive, because I loved DC but appreciated the great job that GC did after his departure.
I'm not sure why I've become so negative in the last few weeks, most likely it's results driven, but I actually genuinely don't see a light at the end of the tunnel for us anymore. I think a lot of it stems from the shambolic antics at board level and it being in direct comparison with the ongoing modernisation across the river which is leaving us further and further behind. The gap is now basically insurmountable in my opinion, which is a depressing thought. I think when the Sh** are crap as well it at least makes me feel less bad about how bad we are in terms of our facilities and general prospects. I actually do think that with Lansdown and his cronies announcing partnerships with Total Produce, UWE and moving forward with plans for their training facility, stadium expansion, and their productive youth academy it really is just sticking the knife in.
I certainly will continue to support the club, and I hope the results take a turn for the better, but I just desperately want to see the club strive for better than the ramshackle tents and fox-poo laden single rented pitch of a training ground. That of course means significant investment, but why are so many other clubs just leaving us in the shade on this? We're a big-city club, with a great brand and a pretty big and loyal fanbase, yet here we are in 2020 with a stadium that looks like it has been dragged out of the late 1980's.
Still, I'll still be a Gashead until the day I die, nothing will change that, and I'm sure that as ever we will experience good and bad times in the future.
