How do you know they didn't discuss it after the exodus of 4 members and decide against it. The thing is you don't but you keep pursuing an outdated agenda if it keeps you happy after all some Germans still hanker for a return to hitters ideals it was widely quoted on here at the time the vote wasnt going to happen with a full board quite what the **** youre reference to hitler means i dont know The Board of BRFC, The Supporters Club, The Gas Trust and The Presidents Club were all invited to a meeting to discuss. Only the Board of BRFC didn't turn up. No surprise then or now but it's all irrelevant a lot has happened since then and none of the warnings were heeded and we ended up in non league as expected. The initial Al Qadi period was incredible but it looks as though that has changed dramatically and I am more concerned now about the future than I was in 2006. For that you can only blame Higgs.

Also a petty & vindictive individual who put pay to the only scheme that could have seen us miles ahead of where we are. A man who threatened court if you dared to question or disagree and a megalomaniac who could NEVER say sorry. Of course I remember the ill conceived agenda for changexample that never stood a chance of success Fair enough. What was it about the Agenda For Change document that was 'ill conceived' and meant that it 'never stood a chance of success'?

On G20man's programme last night it was mentioned that Wael has had a change of plan for this weekend. He was to attend the charity match on Sunday, but is now flying to Jordan. Hopefully that's good news. We might learn more in his interview tomorrow.

He's not "passionate" about the City, he just likes having things like stands named after him. For him, it's a massive ego trip and an attempt to try and quash the opinion that he's a tax avoiding scum ****.

I would love him to own Bristol Rovers.

Isn't football great.
Arse fans have 20 years of Champions League football and all hate Kroenke. (but to be fair, with that hunting channel thing, they are probably right to)
Man Ure win everything in sight and bitch about the Glazers.
Chelski fans were rounding on Jose because they were mid-table whilst he had a couple of players who needed to be moved out.
We had a split in the board room 11 years ago and still regurgitate it at least once a month.
Never happier than when we are unhappy, or so it seems?

It was never given a chance and the intentions of those behind it were misrepresented by those who had power. Still, you know best. Precisely why a lot of people didn't read it because if they disagreed they would get the same sort of replies that I had and still get,i am as entitled to my opinion as you are,rightly or wrongly I thought it was ill conceived in its wording and timing,and as far as I am aware we live in a society where we are allowed to express our feelings and disagree with others if we feel they are wrong,but apparently this does not happen to be true on club forii Really surprised by this post as not read you get angry before.

A very bad couple of weeks for Mike. It's all quite sad to read and why bring someone else into it who has never been one to go slapping people for words on a forum. I find it hard to read to be honest. It's like having your very own poster boy for a mid life crisis I agree with you on the first point KP - it is very sad to see any supporter wish harm on another, let alone someone with an official post at the club. I can't agree with you on the second point though, and can only go on what I know and see. Chris Brown sent a threatening PM to someone whose crime was to write 'Belter' on his facebook post that started the leak. Again, very sad to see. You know, i know this will sound awful but maybe people need to think before doling out abuse tomsomeine they don't know ? I don't know Chris well but know him as a fair and honest bloke and can only think it was either a bad day or he doesn't know just how bad that page is in honesty I've been tempted to go much further than what he did but I am able to control myself. As my lovely no sorely missed dad used to say when you lose control, you've lost control. Took me awhile to get it but it's true plus I now have learned the hard way that by getting angry, I get sick. Mentally and physically and that's not a great mix for anyone. You surprised me by this. I can only guess that Chris was of the belief, as I think also, that hendidmus a favour leaking it. Lord know how much longer it could have gone on without it. The club releasing that extremely late presser certainly was a first

Where Chris and me were born in Bristol it is what's called get your retaliation in first. Part of the life in East Bristol Brap! Brap! Mike will be telling us he come from da endz innit LOL ! God, this post made me properly laugh. Thank you so much for that Peter Parker. It's been a rough and crappy old day with some nasty information from bloodwork. I'm so glad I paid this forum a visit just for that post

Hopefully that's good news. We might learn more in his interview tomorrow. Angas. A question for you and ALL others that have supported the club for over say 35 years and seen the many failures. Do you ever just get the feeling of sod it, I am done with this and the neber ending cycle of huge build up only to be then dramatically let down ? I have to admit that I am waivering & unless Wael can comeback with something that can truly 1) give me tangible hope of a better and decent stadium and 2) the ambition to become Bristols number one then I will take the flak & say I think I may be done as someone who tries to get to every home game. Of course the silly health stuff gets mixed into this but I have to say I admire those who can keep taking the most bipolar club and carry on regardless. Rovers have been a big part of my life for so long. I honestly bought into the we're coming for you stuff. Anyway, before I get everyone slashing at their body parts, just wondered if you've ever felt the same ?

We had a split in the board room 11 years ago and still regurgitate it at least once a month. Never happier than when we are unhappy, or so it seems? Once a month ? This is the first I have heard in ages about it and I was basically goaded into saying it After the huge highs always comes the balance. I sometimes wonder if the club has been cursed. God, why can't we just habe the one bloody thing go right for once ? I need to find Marvin, thenlaranoid android and get on the lash with him

''The first 2 million years were the worst, and it was downhill from there'' But did you know that 42 actually is related to the answer to life, the universe, and everything? Have a Google, it's quite interesting.
