When we first moved to the Mem we had a scheme which we paid into monthly for the good of the club but I pulled out after a few years.Is it still going? If you mean helpline then yes & so is the share scheme. Personally I think helpline is the best value scheme ever plus it gives you Cat A status for tickets. It’s a no brainier plus they give out decent prizes in the monthly draw. I now do helpline and the FFSC or fans forum supporters club. The letter of the 2 is just a tenner a season & also has draws, with good quality prizes and I am proud to call myself one of its founding members. Jon the Stripe & parrot have done a lot of good & you know that every single penny goes to the club, mainly on sponsoring players and we have sponsored around 4-5 games too. I’d recommend highly, both of those to any gashead

...wide interpretation of the term "infrastructure"... By the way, how much is The Memorial Ground worth in 2018? I have been advised that it somewhere in the region of 12-15 million if used for housing. That was from someone who was involved in the measuring of the place. You have to decide for yourself why it was being measured.

He's the supply teacher that everyone liked but no one had respect for because he has no power or sway. Very good analogy. Made I laff it did mind 😂

On Tom G interview he stated that profits from food and drink go to DC playing budget. As this is the only statement I have heard I believe him unless you can post something factual that means he lied. When you next have ANY opportunity to speak to DC and in reasonable privacy, I think he will tell you that we are now in a one out before we think of one in situation & In fact that’s what he said earlier today, when he gave a brief answer to a question , on radio Bristol. He is hamstrung by the budget he has and he’s been very open on the situation he has to manoeuvre within. I think if he made just one or two of the comments that he’s made recently, if elsewhere, he’d be facing summary dismissal, I believe

Seriously though, turnover (60%) dictates the wage bill in SCMP terms, so every penny spent in Stadium theoretically goes to fund players. It is not coming from any donations or equity funding on part of AlQs. Not having pot-shots, but the reality is that how BCFC supplement their wage-bill via SL. They have SL. We have SR. Sausage Rolls. How can the supporters be expected to stump up when DS won't? I'd like to see DS say they will match every supporter's £1 with a percentage input of their own towards the playing budget. As it is they have bought the club and are expecting literally everyone else to invest their money (even unknown investors) to fund the place whilst the minimum they put in (which funds an office in London) is secured so they can potentially get it back. Lead by example, I say. Well, I’m not proud of this but due to the ticket queues, we bought from an off license and sat outside a certain cafe/bar and bought one round before drinking our extremely cheap Thatchers and Gem

You have seen the light. There have been some developments but I can’t and won’t say anything just yet, not until I have verified the information. You see, as some think, I am not anti family. I just am inquisitive and always ask questions. If this leads to me being unpopular then so be it, I’m old enough and ugly enough to cope. I am pro Bristol Rovers and all my aim is, is to ask the club to substantiate the talk. I habe yet to hear one grain of truth from something they have said about training facilities and stadium. If it were the most popular people in the world, I would still be asking the same questions. My problem now is that I think any integrity that was banked, has been spunked away on avoidance and BS. I’m sorry of this offends some but I see stagnation and a manager who is so frustrated that even he has taken to interviews to vent his frustrations. I am happy to share my sources but via email and if you send me a PM then I can send you my email details. The latest stuff, ismxomomg from the red side. If true then we could all be in for a shock but it’s not SL buying us so don’t get too upset I don’t want a DM. Either go public or it’s fake news. I have been reliably informed that WAQ has started send out ‘cease and desist’ letters to those people who claim to be ITK on other sites so I would say that if it ain’t 100% factually correct and you are happy to defend your sources in court, it’s time to keep shtum. I am allowed an opinion and I am not saying anything to cause distress. If I were a betting man then I would have won a fair bit as I was ready for that reply coming from you. We are allowed opinions and I don’t see how this could be hurting anyone. I have said I won’t say anything else until I can verify and give evidence. Obviously it could be wrong but if I got a cease and desist letter then it would say more of the state of the club than anything I have deemed to say , that could be deemed as slander or defamation please FJK don’t tell me what to do. I wouldn’t dream of doing that to you unless it was to help you and let’s not kid ourselves, you really dislike me and it’s been evident for a good period. I think it’s you who would like to make me stop posting at all in honesty Anyway, I forgive you and I do not have time to waste on arguments or grudges. Have a peaceful evening and a good bank holiday

I have also been told that a "Cease and Desist" warning has been issued. Not one to speculate on these matters, having been the recipient of a "letter from the board" in the distant past, I believe it to be true that's a bit saucy on what grounds - that it is gossip, that it is contrary to the best interests of BRFC, other? plus ca change, it seems... Well I can only think that making speculative statements in the public domain about the intention of the BOD and items such as cash flow or asset values may be detrimental to the interests of those shareholders?

I am more than happy to reveal the source of my ITK from last Saturday. Bring it on! Go for it!!! As before, on here and not privately. So keep shtum but reveal on a public forum, information that will only open any of us up to intimation of legal writs. Honestly, I will never understand you. BTW, if you re~read my post, I said I would open it up if and when I can prove it’s truth. If not then I will & do keep shtum. Its a very sad time when we are talking/writing in amongst other supporters of the same club yet we have members who attempt to worry people. Very sad indeed

So Father, who is your source for the "cease and desist letters"? 😂 I have also been told that a "Cease and Desist" warning has been issued. Not one to speculate on these matters, having been the recipient of a "letter from the board" in the distant past, I believe it to be true Well, badbloodash certainly had one. Once again, I feel saddened that the club feel so threatened that they are doing this. I believe that Wael said that he was fair game but to stop talking about his family. That’s not direct quote but I think he had his kids get very upset by a fair few posts, on the fake book page of which he is a member. Personally I think this forum is well moderated and I’ve yet to see anything truly personal posted on here Of course, all that I’ve said, could also be wrong, as Richard Bach always signs off with, in his books

Please may I be sent a "cease and desist". Seems we have evolved directly back to the days of NH, when he got the official forum closed and wouldn’t tolerate ANY speculation at all yet was telling other chairmen of some of the terrible actions of the players who were at the club, in that awful and shameful relegation season

I'm not sure they can do anything about that tho maybe it applies to saying bad things about individuals instead - kP said it was about 'leaving the family out of it'. I know that NH's kids used to read the forums, to no good effect

I get a "404 Page not found". Am I perchance doing something wrong? If not - crikey. If this quote can't be verified then it would appear that people are quoting "facts" that don't actually exist. This internet thingy is indeed a troublesome beast.

I know that NH's kids used to read the forums, to no good effect I believe the letter is aimed at comments around the commercial decisions made, or speculated upon. Personally whilst I struggle to see how there would be a direct commercial impact, pretending something is known and then extrapolating that into an outcome could adversely affect fan sentiment. Tenuous, but I guess a lawyer has advised.

Shock horror:
Jordanian Bank in the form of DS refuses to risk their own capital on new Stadium or ground re-development.
DS rep and Rovers President Wael Al Qadi pledges long-term commitment to BRFC and Chairman confirms that DS are not seeking outside investment.
There are no plans made public by DS to sell the club.

Hani is the CEO of AJIB and is on charge of investment portfolio for Dwayne Sports, as confirmed by Chairman.
So more than just shareholders.
Where might he go for an investment in a business case that DS supports, including training ground and Mem re-development?
