But the whole passion thing is an act. The expression on his face follo wing promotion is the face of someone who has suffered for years and years seeing you move grounds several times over the years, suffering from being (factually) the less successful team in the city, suffering far more lows than highs and finally, finally enjoying some long overdue success. It's not the emotion of someone who's been there five minutes and hasn't been through what the rest of you have. He experienced a relegation in a season he only presided over for a few games, followed by two very good seasons. What release does he need? None. That expression...that passion....he's not a lifelong Gashead, and so it was an act to sucker you in and get you to idolise him....but it's not genuine. But your lot lap it up like he was born in a blue and white quarters. From an outside view, he should act with more dignity and stop mugging off the fans who shout his name. And you lot need to see through the charade and just appreciate the job he's done (which is very good) without buying the act. And no....I'm not bitter...I'm not sure what any City fan would be bitter about. We haven't suffered the recent ignominy of relegation out of the football league. We have a stadium to be proud of, an actual billionaire owner who is doing all he can to make us the best we can be, we won the double a year ago and saw a continued improvement in the second half of last season...in the Championship. We've not been below you for over five and a half THOUSAND days. Pray tell.....what do we have to be bitter about?!? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've won 2 promotions One of which was only necessary because he oversaw your failure to get a point at home to Mansfield Town the previous season. I am happy to recognise how well Clarke has done in achieving successive promotions, but you would get more credit if you at least recognised that he contributed to the relegation in the first place which has enabled you to be promoted twice. I acknowledge that he was not solely responsible having only taken over in March. However, Rovers were 20th in League Two when he took over, so his net achievement is ONE promotion.

Although finding yourselves in a position where you need two promotions to get back to where you once were is embarrassing. Rovers will always have a huge thirst for success. Every year you feel you should be winning whatever league you are in. Your pursuit of this success is what will always cause your downfall.

I am a happy GasHead Thank you, just wanted to see if you were as deluded as some of your fellow fans. It is a fantastic achievement, although your not the only club to have achieved it. There has also been a huge amount of luck in it. Winning a penalty shootout and Accrington not winning. And those two things are what really need to be remembered in order to ground your fan base. Some of your fans will remain realistic and would take survival in the last kick of the last game. However most of your fans will expect you to be table topping just like they did in the past. Whoever your manager will be will be hounded out just like Trollope was. A natural position for Bristol Rovers is mid table league one. Its just some of your fans will never be able to accept that respectable position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has also been a huge amount of luck in it. Winning a penalty shootout and Accrington not winning. And those two things are what really need to be remembered in order to ground your fan base. Sorry, but not clear how winning a penalty shootout, and then a rival losing a key match, amounts to 'luck'. Rovers got promotion last year by coming second in a season of 46 games; getting through to the playoff final; then winning the final on penalties. Can't see that as being luck-related. This year they have gone one better by getting automatic promotion after 46 games. The fact that Accrington lost their final game is neither here not there. Rovers ended up in a higher position after 46 games and any luck will probably have been two-way across the season. I think they have done fantastically well in the last two seasons and if I were a Rovers fan I'd be chuffed to bits. As to where is their 'natural position' - no such thing! I grew up with the likes of Watford and Swansea as lower division clubs, and look at them now. If I were a Rovers fan I'd be optimistic about next season. I'd certainly expect a top-half finish from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
