Thank you, I thought loud mouthed heavy was apt but I prefer your description Doc 😂 Surely that should read 'ice pop Pop'? 'pop pop' sounds really unintimidating 😂😂😂👍

The supporters club is dying on it's feet. At one time it was the only way to get Cup tickets and travel. Cup tickets have gone like the others to Ticketdisaster and people organise their own travel now. So what is the point of a supporters club? Well after going to the EFL to say that the club was fiddling the books I can understand that Wael knows he cannot trust them.(Ironic given that one of their "volunteers" took £90k from them to feed her Bingo habit) They wanted to 2 representatives on the board, but have been offerred one. They have nobody ready to take that up, and anyway, he wouldnt speak for the majority of supporters because the majority are not in the SC. In the past the SC did a good job, but sadly times have moved on, and they have found themselves redundant.

My view is he wants only those who agree with him.

Interesting to see that the new owner at Swindon has already forged closer links with the clubs Supporter Trust. I would back a trust model at Rovers and what better time for this to be achieved than now with the mistrust and demise of the SC. Swindon Trust Agreement
The legal bits

The legal bitsI think it would be easier if Jim left his role. He is obviously a beaten man. I think we could then maybe restructure the SC and change things and even rename. Maybe that would be an easier option ?

Maybe that would be an easier option ? I think that would resolve all of the problems tbh KP. What I read between the lines of Wael’s open letter is that Jim and Ken leave and we crack on working together. You both stay and I’ll continue to make you even less relevant.

Agreed. Maybe Bristol Rovers Supporters Trust. Over the river at City just over a decade ago, their SC was pretty much just a drinking club. After their Supporters Trust was formed and grew, the two amalgamated. They also have a good working relationship with Steve Lansdown.

There you are then.
The people who attempted to start a Trust prior to the Share Scheme at last have an opportunity to demonstrate that their balloon launch didn't in fact sum up their organisational ability.
No SC in the way, come on guys and girls, you have a clear path to success.

We are living in the new Wael and Joey B***** era now and it's time for the younger supporters to run with the baton and judging by many posts on both forums there are plenty with the ability to do so.

I know that, I was having a sarcastic dig at one person on here who likes to pretend that the Trust was just about to take the world by storm but for inexplicable reasons the SS was chosen as the model to run with. Maybe if they didn't hold their meetings in pubs and if that balloon launch didn't sum them up they would have been all sorted and in place before the SS got off the ground? Anyway, as you say, there's a window of opportunity there for someone who feels they have something to offer and wants to work with Wael.

As an aside, I believe those involved in the original Trust idea are no longer part of the BRFC fanbase and have become supporters of AFC Wimbledon. Thats what I was told anyway.

Given that one of the founders is a very close friend of mine, who stands next to me on the West, you may want to check your source. 2 of the founders went elsewhere to watch football. Their choice and.not something I could personally do, but each to their own.

Surround yourself with yes men and no passion for the club and disaster is never far

I think you’re getting mixed up with the couple who used to write a Rovers fanzine which was sold at Twerton & the Mem in the early days. They used to travel down from the London area & later in life started to follow AFC Wimbledon when they were reformed, the name Hazel Potter springs to mind as one of the couple.

And Ian Marriott I believe. The Second of May was a great fanzine...
