Jim would do his usual wringing of hands, and repeat the story from Box 1. Perhaps if we offered him a bus top parade if he may actually put our views forward, get answers and effect some kind of change, but that is not the role of the SC according to its constitution.

The Supporters Club isn't really fit for purpose, and hasn't been for over a decade. The BRSC had the ticket system in place selling the vast majority of match tickets and also the vast majority of the replica shirts etc They also organise away travel for supporters. The proceeds from the 50/50 tickets you purchase goes towards funding the youth academy. So why are they not fit for purpose ?

I guess if you only aspire for the Supporters Club to be a vehicle for selling match tickets, raffle tickets and coach travel, then they do fine,

After the recent court case it would have been appropriate for the SC to issue a statement so worded as to bring closure and clarification. No vilification; but as it was no longer sub judice I believe those who had had their money stolen deserved a statement. Perhaps it will be forthcoming at the AGM.

As far as I'm aware Ken has never engaged supporters via this forum whereas Brian does occasionally post. His last post dated 21 Feb-17 can be found <<HERE>>In April 2016 Brian outlined his view of the Fans Rep role under the new regime. <<SEE HERE>>. In that post Brian states "... both Ken and I will continue to work on your behalf to do our utmost to meet your expectations: Personally, being a long distant supporter, I cannot comment if that commitment has been fully honoured. However, I feel not using this and/or the Gaschat forum as a regular communication channel to Gasheads it's a lost opportunity for both fans representatives.

BSS comes on here when he wants something, why don't we ask him if he's up for having his own section? As for Comedy Ken, personally, I don't care what he says or thinks, in my opinion the bloke is a joke.

Puppet and Muppet springs to mind, you work out which is which.
I'm sure they have Rovers in their hearts and are not bad people, but really... ?

Maybe with the new owners in place he'll reconsider?

It'll be brief, but entertaining Has he Come 'Ome yet? Email sent I would like to invite both members and all staff to join gasheads.org. If either or both would like to join we will set up a new area on the forum where they can answer questions and promote what the supporters club does. I would also suggest that if this is acceptable that they also join the main other fans site. Our site is : gasheads.org/The other site : gasheads.proboards.com/
