Your views: Should Kevin Spencer have been banned from Bristol Rovers' stadium?

“Anyone who listened to Nick Higgs interview on Radio Bristol today will understand we are having a re-run of the Stuart Campbell affair from last year. Once again Mr Higgs has taken a dislike to someone and is smearing them in the media without providing any evidence of what they are supposed to have done wrong.

No one doubts he was a very good manager of a building company or that he has loaned Rovers an awful lot of money. But as each day goes by he is proving to be a very bad Chairman of a football club.”

“They named a stand at Eastville after you didn't they Peter.”

“Well I think it is fair to say that this latest fiasco comes as no surprise to gasheads. This decision is yet another poor knee-jerk reaction, which is symptomatic of the mess we find ourselves in as a club, both on and off the pitch.

If things were going well, then yes, perhaps Kevin would have been better advised to keep his mouth shut, but frankly our club is in a desperate state right now and it is only through sheer desperation, and love of Bristol Rovers, would anybody want to offer criticism of the direction this board is steering the football club.

MR HIGGS, I HAVE SAID THIS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS BUT IT APPEARS TO FALL ON DEAF EARS. WHEN WILL YOU NAME A STAND AFTER THE GREAT GEOFF BRADFORD ? AT THE MOMENT WE HAVE HIT ROCK BOTTOM AS A CLUB, SO LET US START TO RESTORE SOME MUCH NEEDED PRIDE AGAIN BY RECOGNISING ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS TO EVER WEAR THE BLUE AND WHITE QUARTERS.

NAME A STAND AFTER BRADFORD, HIGGS. IT IS HARDLY ROCKET-SCIENCE.”

“I don't think Mr Spencer should be banned if all he has done is criticise the board because we all do that and there is no law against it. I can't understand why Mr Higgs hasn't come in the paper to explain what is happening because he is always in the paper when Rovers sign anyone and he always tells us how fantastic it is.”

“It is very sad that there are now arguments between fans about this stupid action by the board. A ban for LIFE when fans shouting racist, homophobic and vile personal abuse at ex players get away with a tap on the hands. Their total failure to communicate internally and externally is affecting the management and team, crowds are falling and we are getting more and more in debt. This ban is just the icing on the cake and totally pathetic, personal, vindictive and unnecessary.
And yes guys I remember the days of the old Tote End and Roger bennett as well !”

“This issue has to be a personal one and is vindictive on the part of the Rovers board. The reason i say this is because I've ****ged of Rovers on many occasions. The board, manager, team and supporters yet I've not been banned for the mem.”

“Certain people will try to hush this all up at the SC meeting tonight but I can assure you that there will be huge support for Kevin Spencer and finding out the real truth as to why our 2 fans directors, who after all should represent the views of the SC, voted for a ban considering Mr Spencer has broken no known club rules which dictate his behaviour warrants a lifelong banning order from BRFC home games.”

“banana republic.”

“im more worried about our league position and the new stadium getting planning permission also our mounting injury problems, i feel gutted for mr spencer id hate to be banned but my main concern at present is that mark mcghee caN get us away from the drop zone UP THE GAS !”

“Hi Kingsmead and Old Frank !

Amazing ! Yes I remember Gordon Bennett though I never met him. But he was quite a character and a very active member of the Supporters Club ? Incredible how memories can be stirred after such along time.

Let us keep hoping...
