@drcongo

⬆️ wot they said..this is streets ahead of other clubs..

not just football but does feel a community and would be lost without it..

The fact that the Doc spotted this thread within the space of a few replies shows that he still cares deeply about this forum and the WW community. It’s still his baby, and we appreciate the time and love he gave it. Maybe we just took it for granted. The MB/DR wars got really silly at times, but absolutely no poster on either side wanted to see Matt go. Losing this forum would be a blow to all of us.

I saw Sindhu Vee a couple of years ago, very funny, especially whens she's talking about parenting.

Nina Conte with her monkey actually had me in tears of laughter.

I can only echo what many have already said.

One of the best things about supporting Wycombe (and I imagine you could say the same about many lower league clubs) is that it feels like a community, as opposed to the slick customer experience of the EPL.

And the Gasroom at its best is part of that.

It feels like we are at an awkward crossroads right now given that we are still early days into an ownership regime with seemingly higher aspirations than we have been used to.

Working currently at a company that started small and where I used to know everyone, but has since got considerably bigger and to me more impersonal, sometimes I feel like “be careful what you wish for” in terms of the growth that money can bring.

But back to WWFC - we are where we are, I was sceptical of the Couhigs too (just as I am with Lomtadze, or would be of any owner), but I think in retrospect we can be seen to have done well by them. Maybe the new era will work out too.

I’m rambling - but just to say that even though we live in uncertain times as far as the direction of the club goes, and the Bloomfield departure was certainly a growing pain I never wanted to see, maybe we can do well under the new structure - but it will be different.

The recent crossfire was pretty relentless, I understand why people would get pissed off and leave, but regardless of whether I agree with the individual posters or not, I’d hope that all find their way back in time.

On a practical note I am also happy to chip in with costs if that helps, though I don’t think that’s the main issue here.

As another exile, I’ve really valued the Gasroom over the years as a way of staying connected with lots of old nonsense.

Generally it’s been great fun, but the reaction around Matt Bloomfield’s departure certainly darkened the mood for me. I could’ve done without some posters shouting ‘move on’ within a week of him walking out / being pushed out. Personally, I don’t think I’ll ever understand why a Wycombe fan would take the word of a rather distant ownership group over that of a bloke who served us well for pretty much his whole career, but maybe that’s modern football now.

It’d be sad if the Gasroom withered away, but @drcongo definitely shouldn’t spend time and energy maintaining something that’s become a pain. I hope that we can all collectively take it back to where it was before - a slightly tetchy home to an odd selection of know it alls.
