Dear Mike, Calm down a bit would you? Have you paid for absolutely everything you should? I do not recommend this course of enquiry, John. Have a good evening. S. Hoveler Ignore him, he's just trying to start a fight, then when it all kicks off he'll run away and get his old mate Chris. Anyway, he seems to be a bit confused, not for the first time either. Membership of the Share Scheme gives automatic membership of the SC, so his second question renders his first redundant and calls into serious question whether he's a SS member himself, you would imagine that if he was he would have known this Dear Shoveit and Bambi I am calm.What makes you think I am not ? Yes I have paid for everything.If I cant afford it I don't buy it I am not condoning any fight(s) Why would I involve Chris ? No confusion I am a Share scheme member from day one and realise membership in BRSC is included
But I was just asking if Bambi was currently a BRSC member because they are looking for committee members and was going to nominate him because he is bright,intelligent and creative. Plus I am sure he could sale loads of 50/50 tickets
Have a good weekend

out of interest I tweeted BSS Simon Phillips @im_sprouticus · 6h6 hours ago
@bristolroverssc @briseymoursmith Did the SC ever have a comment on the collapse of UWE stadium project?
Brian Seymour-Smith @briseymoursmith · 1h1 hour ago
Hi SImon yes . Please refer to jim Chappell programme notes in the last programme v Peterborough. Best wishes Bri

There are lots of rumours bout at Mo. Would be nice to know Q's are being asked and/or positive reassurance from our Fans reps Brian Seymour-Smith @briseymoursmith
Replying to @im_sprouticus @bristolroverssc
It would be for the CLub to comment on issues involving the Mem Simon. Best wishes Bri
I really shouldn't go there because this has been done to death, but: 1. He's a Director, so he is the club. That's the point of having Directors. 2. What does he think it's for him to do, then, because he's replied to two general enquiries by referring you elsewhere? What has long bugged me is that he seemingly abdicates or denies all responsibility or obligation, but stays in post as if he readily accepts there's nothing else to it except to 'look important' - and he's the very man for that. Insight into all the rumours doubts and speculation on this thread is exactly what he's there for. There's a huge difference between a response and a reply, and he's not replied. All he ever says is the equivalent of 'That would be an ecumenical matter'. So what does he think he's there for? Is it really just an ego stroke? I'd love to know (but wouldn't get a reply). That did actually make me laugh out loud. I will never be able to watch a BSS interview again without hearing the ghostly voice of Father Jack

Sounds like him and Comedy Ken have been shut out of board meetings, at least when anything meaningful is being discussed. That probably says as much about the owners' perception of the 2 than about their intention to run closed meetings though. If this is the case (and if they've worked it out yet) they should say so, they represent over a million quid of our money! Please can I ask
1. Are you a BRSC fully paid up member ?
2. Are you are fully paid up Share scheme member ?
part of yours ....if aif Yes then the £1m could be considered ny answers are No...... then its no business of yours
Do you really think what Ken & BSS do or say is 'no business' of Rovers fans who aren't in the supporters club or share scheme?

I think you've answered you own question there as why was the contract sat on Hani's desk for a month when Wael is supposed to be the President of Rovers and so you'd assumed the man in charge of major decisions effecting the club not Hani. Meanwhile Wael's apparently now paying transfer fees for Academy players! The club payed compensation for a development striker from newport,not an academy player. Why tell lies? It may or may not turn out to be an inspired signing,much better than paying way over the odds for matt godden or signing lambert on a silly salary imo. I think the establishing of a development squad the single biggest piece of news this season. "lies" more slight inaccuracies as is there that much difference between the development squad and the academy squad players? If there is how the hell are we now financing two full 18+ squads plus the 1st team?

"lies" more slight inaccuracies as is there that much difference between the development squad and the academy squad players? If there is how the hell are we now financing two full 18+ squads plus the 1st team? The difference is that the development squad players are old enough to play for the 1st team which facilitates a smaller 1st team squad. The club want to get players coming through from the youth and development squads which is much more economical than paying inflated prices for established players imo. It remains to be seen if that happens in a bigger way than it has already but it makes perfect sense to me that the club are going down this route.

They are both BRSC reps and as such ONLY represent views etc of BRSC members ....a bit like being in a trade union and the non members don't pay subscriptions so are NOT represented by Union reps

Have you ever thought of trying to encourage people to join the Supporters Club? You may need to look up the word 'encourage' before you answer.

Looks like Angas just blew that argument out the water. Also why were they sending certificates on the anniversary of the scheme to all contributors, many of which presumably no longer contribute or are members if the supporters club. Can I have my money back?

Not only has Ann corrected you, but I've also sat through candidates addresses by both of them where they've pledged to do their best to assist all supporters, regardless of any memberships and regardless of how anyone votes. If you are going to try to start an argument at least make an effort to check some basic facts, or you may end up looking a bit silly

If you are a "supporter" .......look that up before you answer it should be automatic that you join such an organisation who represent your views etc
But as in your case it may be something like "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member"- Groucho Marx

Well, You encourage people to attend Checkatrade Trophy games despite knowing many people are not attending on a principle , albeit one you don't agree with. I would have thought the supporters club and it's members would actively want to recruit more members to promote it's aims, after all it has been through somewhat of a rough patch in recent times. I was a member for years even thought there was no real tangible benefit for me as it just duplicated the benefits of my season ticket and I have no interest in travelling to away games on their transport. I would be a easy one to re-recruit, yet BRSC don't seem to reach out to ex-members like myself in an order to get us back on board, on this forum you seem to be their only-unofficial- mouthpiece, and you aren't doing a great job of selling it to me. Maybe I have misread you totally, you have hinted in here that you enjoy winding up, maybe you think it's funny and you don't mean to alienate people in which case you may need to find a different approach. We are all supposed to be on the same side

The problem there is the SC haven't represented mine, or any of their members views, since the summer of 2006. To represent fans views, the SC Committee need to have consultations with the members. Outside of the AGM, when has that ever happened? And yes, I am a member.

I wonder if there is a 'plan B' in case the Colony training ground isn't ready for when Rovers have to stop using the Lawns ? its not just where will the players train but the reserve games are played there too.
