Unless Rod stands again I'm not expecting anyone else to stand. A great opportunity for some on here though. I thought it would be hilarious for Kevin to join the SC, work on one of the committees for 12 months and then stand as SC rep. He would win by a country mile. What would Higgs do then? Edit. Rod should stand. The trick he missed was not attending regional SC meetings. He should also resist the postal ballot, that's wildly swayed in favour of sitting candidates. if the original agreement is in place the BoD had the right to not accept a nominee

How could they refuse if the SC membership wanted that representative?

The leading shareholders can reject any proposed directorship for a company they own. Would that be the case if the supporters club were a supporters trust and had the backing of supporters direct? The 82ers amongst others are set up in that way and it seems an effective model.

Trust, what a great idea. We could launch it was a mass balloon release, and then an almighty p1ss up, followed by some more p1ss ups.

Or actually put a lot of hard work in behind the scenes coming up with a number of ideas to raise money for the football club with a number of fund raising ideas, only to be torpedoed and sunk by the Football Club and Supporters Club with the Share Scam. Then, as bridges were built with Box 1 and the SC came the boardroom split in 2006. Some of us kept trying to communicate with the club, but were told then that the only supporter vehicle recognised by the club was the SC and we could only go through Messrs. Brain & Masters. We were told by Supporters Direct that no fledgling trust in the country had to put up with as much BS as we had to.

I thought this was a good sign: "During this month each year the BRSC Executive Committee attempt to review our work and activities. We have posted a number of requests for feedback. ... We appreciate all the feedback to date and are happy to hear from you about all BRSC issues". They seek feedback about the website itself. bristolroverssc.co.uk/2015/06/22/feedback-welcome/

The eternal response on this forum Right lets go back to my original post "Looked at it tonight for the first time in ages. Was shocked it seems the supporters club is in the fight v Sainsburys" Tell me where in that comment it says that I am putting down the SC. I was shocked as there was more news about the legal fight than I had heard. Yes I do not agree with the silly graphics used. The SC website is a thousand times better than it used to be, so credit there. As for the eternal response, is it? I have had conversations with a few people at the SC. What qualities / experience do I have? well my family ran a successful business (builders / DIY merchants). 22 years logistic (warehouse and supply, won't bore you with qualifications). Have ran two businesses myself, and currently run one (as well as working full time). Have ran 4 music / beer festivals, might not seem relevant, but I hold brewery awards for cellar work and distribution. Add to all that, in my spare time I love web design etc. I am not biting, just putting it out there.
The merchandising committee was a good idea pity it was not followed through. We all know the club has been haemorrhaging money, why oh why not use the skills are the fans, who love the club? wasting your time. the club is run by control freaks who do not like anyone with expertise in case they take over. (applies to both SC and BOD)
