Nope, definately not speaking on my behalf and I've written to the chairman stating that IMO Jim Chappells views are his own and maybe a small minority close to him. Are you a paid upmember of the sc? Last I heard, the SC was supposed to represent the views and interests of all supporters. There were benefits to being a SC member, but having your views represented wasn't one of them.

I am a member of the Share Scheme and that automatically makes me a member of the SC. Jim is definitely not speaking on my behalf and in my view should go for his comments.

It has a web site so it can't be too hard to set up membership online to lower admin costs in the long run?

No facility to join online and there's no way I'm going to send my card details insecurely by email as the form requests. Cheque only option as far as I'm concerned and that must be costing them a fortune in bank charges. Why can't they set up a PayPal link which although costs them a fee it's cheaper than banking cheques.

Nothing to do with the Club, we are talking about the Supporters Club website.

I'm a paid up SC member and couldn't give less of a sh/t about an open top bus parading absolutely nothing at all.
But then what do my views matter, after missing only 8 games all season I'm merely one of the 'Gloucester Road drinkers' who wallowed in the 'Presidential visit' long into the night.

Both Brian and Ken have campaigned saying that they will represent all supporters' interests. I know I don't need to remind you of the structure. Either way, it doesn't seem to make much difference, they sold 199 without even consulting the SC members.

I understand the BRSC has about 3500 members and Jim is an elected Chairman and takes our views forward to the Board and has always done this.It is a voluntary position means attending regular meetings and doing duties on a matchday while many other thousands are down the pub and turning up 5 mins before kickoff then complaining at the long queues to get through the turnstiles. Get real people ..without a BRSC the Club would not function on a matchday. Praise those who give up their personal time for your sake and that of the Club they support.

Elected by the Executive Committee, not by the membership. Not sure Jim meets with the BoD regularly, that's done by Masters and BSS. Turnstile queues are nothing to do with the SC, unless you know different? Everybody recognises and is grateful for the hours of unseen and unpaid work done by volunteers, can you point me towards posts suggesting otherwise?

I think you should resign from the 'Gloucester Road Presidential visiting club' in that case as I'm going to from the 'Caerleon Road Newport curry eating club' for celebrating the success of Nick Higgs team without his permission
