The Fan-led Review of Football Governance, chaired by Tracey Crouch MP, was published (24th November 2021). The review aimed to “explore ways of improving the governance, ownership and financial sustainability of clubs in English football” and “engage extensively with fans to ensure any recommendations are led by fans’ experience and interests.” 

Mets caught up with Niall Couper of Fair Game UK to go over the recommendations from the report and what they mean for Rovers.

They had previously chatted in the summer when Rovers joined Fair Game UK and you can catch that here: https://listen.gascastpodcast.co.uk/276671/8729339-a-chat-with-fair-game-uk

In this episode, Caz is joined by friends of the show Mike Willett and Jake Barber to discuss the surprising away win vs Harrogate Town plus the lively 2-2 draw against Oxford in the FA Cup.

With 'The Snake' scoring yet again against Rovers at the Kassam Stadium, Jake expresses his opinion on the toxic relationship between Gasheads and Matty Taylor. 

After an embarrassing first half display in the midweek Papa John's Trophy game, we look on to the next home game vs Northampton Town and whether the return of Sam Finley can continue to inspire an upturn in form.

Mets sat down with assistant Kit Man at Bristol Rovers and Gas legend Tom Foley. They sat down at The Barton Hill Boxing Club where Tom volunteers.

Tom has been in post for 18 years and has seen plenty of the behind the scenes going on at the Gas.

Tom takes us through what his role entails, the huge amount of work that goes on behind the scenes on a matchday. He talks about his previous life as Captain Gas, one he took on to win a bet!

He chats about the best and worst managers he's seen at the Gas and gives us a peek behind the curtain at what a motivator Joey Barton is.

A die hard Gashead himself he talks about how he feels when following the gas up and down the country and clues us into why Ellis Harrison ran over to the bench when he scored at Wembley.
