Birmingham MOTM Poll
This feels wrong doing this in @Shev's absence but in the hope that he returns...
And apologies for not doing this sooner, but if anyone who has posted a view earlier can add it into the poll I would much appreciate it.
The insight Shev gave us through this over the years was really informative. Trust me - I will not be doing the same! If he doesn't come back I will let this wither on the vine and, in my view, the Gasroom will be a poorer place for it's lack.
But I will try and keep this going in his (hopefully only temporary) absence.

I sincerely hope @shev hasn't been driven from the gasroom long term and is taking a little break.....
Probably my favourite poster on here as our views match up on 99% of things and I appreciate the effort he has put in with such things as the mom poll.
This place will most definitely be a worse place without them....
Also worth noting that @Shev was one of the most positive contributors on here having given out fewer down thumbs and more up thumbs than almost anyone else. The fact that he's been driven away by some of the least positive posters on here gives a fair indication of where this forum is heading.
I'm still intending to close the gasroom down, but I'll wait until @flymofrank has got his up and running so there's somewhere for you all to argue.
This is horrible reading. Please don't stop @drcongo !!!
I agree that in recent times the gasroom has massively slipped from gentlemen and gals exchanging ideas and thoughts and gentle ribbing of eachother to a slightly more toxic, disrespectful and unfriendly forum.
I feel we are all in a place we have never been before football wise and it's bringing the worst out of some.... me included on occasion.
We need to remember who we are and what we are! A Tight knit Wycombe Wanderers forum for the folks that don't want to be involved with the face book and social media crap.
Some of us are becoming too expectant on winning and becoming a big championship club already.
Some of the comments and goings on on here of late are changing the gasroom into forums of other clubs that we have all expressed disparaging comments about and been grateful and thankful that we have the gasroom and are not like the rest.
Great posters are being driven away. I don't consider myself 'a great poster' but I have on occasion recently questioned if this forum is still the place I want to head to for all things Wycombe....
New owners..... big sums of money.... bloomfield going and dodds arriving.... crazy transfer fees..... £7+million offered and turned down for Kone... a massive squad.....
Alot has changed in a very short space of time.... I feel its caught alot if us off guard and we are all feeling a bit strange in a scenario we have never been accustomed to.
We have some on here embracing change and willing us on to bigger and better things.
We have some who are more cautious and hope for the best but fear for the worst...... (don't worry about the money)....
And we have those who would be quite happy to see us no matter what.... non league.... etc... whatever or even might possibly prefer us to be little wycombe tearing it up in the lower leagues.
I feel a time for calm heads and gentle reflection is needed.
We all support the mighty Wycombe.... we all want whats best..... at the moment we are in the wilderness and what might be best for us going forward is all hope... speculation... opinions and guesswork.
Can we all just try to get back to how we were before? Cool off a bit and use the forum to give our opinion
.... and maybe just let others have theirs... without bombarding them with negative comments and hate?
We are all in this together 🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵
No @Shev no comment for me.
Hopefully, he's just on his holidays.
I really hope you reconsider closing it down. Please don't let the few spoil it for the many.
I agree, particularly as in my opinion the gasroom has been particularly calm and civilised for the past 7 days.
#savethegasroom. No place for slanging matches here, leave them to our world leaders.
100%.
Good poster and always pretty balanced and polite.
Can tell the recent debate has got to him a bit though, so a little bit of time away won't hurt. Just hope there's something for him to come back to as would be a shame to lose contact.
