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. Thanks for the clarification Doc *waves*

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. Don’t forget the fans parliament

I guess it helps if you've got a wallet the size of his, has been spending as much on the club as he has (players and backroom staff), made as many improvements to the stadium facilities and new training ground as he has, had them challenging for the Premier League over the recent times, had some glory fixtures in the cup, and kept them above their sworn local rivals for so long. ... Then again there are quite a few of their fans who still aren't happy!

I 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 ? Agreed. Maybe Bristol Rovers Supporters Trust. Do you think there is room for two: a Supporters Club and a Supporters Trust? I may be wrong, but reading peoples posts over the last few years it seems to me that things started to go wrong for the SC when they took on the Share Scheme and the Supporters Director. Perhaps they wouldn't have got themselves into a mess if they hadn't become 'political'. There are lots of posts saying the SC didn't hold such-and-such to account, then other posts saying the 'supporters club' should stick to 'supporting' the club, rather than criticizing the BoD. It seems a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't. Perhaps there should be a 'Supporters Trust', which is more of a political society, that holds the club to account, and then a 'Supporters Club', that sticks to doing what it always did best - raffles and away travel.

I just read this at the other place. It sounds an important part of it, and one which isn't mentioned often? (the bits which are mentioned are the perceived personal impacts, not those on the club/stadium)
The beef that the SC has with WAQ I’m guessing is more to do with their perception that he has been an inhibitor to the development of a new stadium and their belief that he has caused two viable stadium projects to collapse in order that he can remain in control at all costs. The bad will has flowed from there.
