Sorry to burst your bubble but where is the mention of non members? Nowhere the wording of members and sup porters is a phrase used to qualify which members so sorry your euphoric post is misplaced What the hell are you on about? The text clearly states "members and supporters" in several places. By using both words it implies that members and supporters can be two separate and distinct things. Although obviously not exclusive; a member, will under the vast majority of cases be a supporter, but a supporter by definition does not have to be a member. Not sure if it's funny or sad, poor old Harry keeps banging on about proof reading yet he can't grasp something as simple as this As for Padstow, he's smarter than he's pretending to be, he's just winding people up for a laugh, he knows full well that the SC is an open door for everybody with an interest in Rovers.

And a member does not neccessarily have to be a supporter it is an ambiguous phrase and is qualified elsewhere which harry posted a while ago either way if you arent aember you have no say in its constitution or the way it carries out its work Very strange how people who do not belong to an organisation think they have a god given right to tell it what it should and shouldn't do and expect that said organisation to act on their demands i reckon you are a member

I will accept an apology if you can grasp that something like that

I have checked the constitution of BRSC before - a key extract [the objects]: 2.1 To create and develop active support and lively interest in the activities of Bristol Rovers Football Club (“BRFC” and encompassing any future name changes of the Company), Bristol Rovers (1883) Limited or any subsidiaries, and to enable BRSC members to obtain the maximum pleasure from such support and interest. 2.2 To arrange transport to away matches for BRSC members. 2.3 To cater for the social interests of BRSC members. 2.4 To encourage a high standard of sportsmanship and understanding of Association Football. 2.5 To give BRSC members a formal medium of approach to the BRFC Directorate via the BRSC Executive Committee and the elected Director(s). 2.6 To render assistance and support to BRFC in particular and football in general by every possible means. 2.7 To support and develop further projects usually associated with Supporters Clubs such as the BRSC members agree upon. 2.8 The provision and maintenance of club premises at 199 Two Mile Hill Road, Kingswood, Bristol and any further premises acquired by BRSC. 2.9 To operate BRSC on a professional basis including its activities and its assets in accordance with the wishes of its members. 2.10 To administer the BRSC Share Scheme (“BRSCSS”) and to endeavour to ensure that in all things BRSC, BRSCSS and BRFC act in accordance This looks very different to the consituation posted by b.g.earlier Yep, I was wondering about that, but boredom had set in, came from BRSC website: bristolroverssc.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/brfc_rules.pdf

The whole set up's anachronistic and redolent of people in belted macs and hats queuing on Stapleton Road for a place on the chara to an away game somewhere just out of view on a Lowry painting.
If Sid and Doris Bonkers want to sit with their mates to eat their corned beef sandwiches and tut about stuff, fair enough. Fair enough also that they and their mates are the ones who decide how that little social club should be. Let's not pretend, though, that that is representative of the supporters as a whole - or of anything in 2017 - or that it should be the customer support function of a commercial organisation.

The point when the argument is lost. 😂😂🙄🙄 I see my reaction is an admission of defeat but one of your non members buddies can do the same and he is applauded. Double standards or what. Still I can make proposals to the s.c. to change things and all those criticising it cannot so it doesn't matter. It's the old saying you have to be in ithe to win it.they aren't so in effect their opinions mean nothing

Correct like any club it represents it's members interests not those on the outside looking in and if we want to eat corned beef sandwiches it is our business and no one else.s.

Does it notify us of AGM dates? If so, I'll make something less disgusting.

One of my favourite threads ever. Much appreciated.
There are so many SC representatives (starting with Joe 90 and his uglier side-kick at 354 Stapleton Road) that I have come to either despise or pity.
The defence is always the same. We do good deeds and join the organisation if you want to make it better, rather than criticise from without.
Please allow me an opportunity every 5 years or so to re-iterate my disdain of all things BRSC.

This looks very different to the consituation posted by b.g.earlier BG quoted from the FC website. Perhaps they too are confused as to the purpose of the SC? ... www.bristolrovers.co.uk/fans/supporters-club/Maybe all will be made clear next week, as according to the minutes from last year's AGM:- (7). Amendment to Club Rules
There were none proposed by the committee. Phil Draper however stated that he was embarking, on behalf of the committee, a review of the constitution and rules of the committee since as they stand they are both unwieldy and lengthy. It will be a fully transparent process and will be put to the AGM next year.

As I have said before unless you are aember what difference does it make to anyou of you what the supporters club does?you don't use its facilities or any other things it can offer so why are you all getting your knickers in a twist
