Just noticed this thread on the "unofficial" forum gasheads.proboards.com/thread/1075/Assuming it's true it seems a bit odd two of our Directors meeting a protest group on the QT?

And the shambles that is Bristol Rovers just gets lower,or does it? Members of the board doing the deeds behind Higgs back or meeting to hear new ideas on how push the rovers forward? Or maybe discussing how to deal with the FFS member who brought embarrassment to Rovers at Braintree! Puzzling hey?

No conspiracy theories from me, but if they had agreed to meet to answer the questions that wernt why not say a meeting had been arranged (with no details) and another meeting would be arranged later to pass the answers on to the fans.
The Welly as it is, is an informal group. Is this representation of the people who turned up at the Welly or 3 blokes arranging a private chin wag?
If they get the answers they want will the Welly 'group' be disbanded?
No conspiracy from me, but if it is in the process of representing the fans that turned up to meetings, seems an odd way to go about things

Hardly anyone agreed with what the welly 3 wanted to do anyway. They wanted us to all provide our names and addresses to the club in a petition of the angry. It was John , Rick and Chewbakka on here that had all the good ideas and drove the meeting.
Therefore i hope any meeting was a personal one

What's he odds on them saying that they were told something,but can't divulge the info as it would get the club in trouble. I not in your "Welly" or BRISA clubs,but if I was I wouldn't be too happy.

Aye, I'm not implying that there's some sort of secret conspiracy or the like going on but it's silence so far from both groups.

Yes it is all true. the Wellie Group leaders and BRISA representatives were all present in a discussion/ Q and A meeting with the said Directors. This was a follow up to The Q & A event back in July where unfortunately, the questions of The Wellie Group ( all of you who helped to decide on the questions)did not get to these questions asked. We requested a small group meeting because as many of you who attended previous events know - big groups of supporters resulted in a flood of questions and no time for any in depth answers. Of course the fault of the organisers than any Gashead. This happened last night as well as a discussion on developments at Rovers and talks about how to get Rovers supporters involved in helping/supporting the club ( in activites like the group who have been helping to generate ideas/ merchandise for the club shop etc.
We managed to ask many questions and get answers. We also discussed the possiblity of forming these cooperation groups. We agreed meeting was more than worthwhile although we have no earth shattering news to report. We will hopefully reveal some information to you soon. Please be patient. There is also the strong possibility as I have stated of getting more of you involved in working more closely with the club and this opportunity could/should come when we arrange an open invite to all Gasheads to come along and discuss/find out what they can get involved in/ what they can offer skill sets/ or offering their free time and enthusiasm. Hopefully, this could be around end of October.
As I said we will report more soon.

Therefore i hope any meeting was a personal one Personally i thought the three on the top table at The Wellie meetings did a good job just to organise it. Yes, there were some great contributions from others including the three you mention. But, you're wrong saying hardly anyone agreed with Jon, Mark or Bernard. I assume you're just speaking for yourself.

So, the group who were going to hold the club to account are being directed towards working for the club.
Doesn't sound too different to the existing SC to me?

I would argue we have held the club to account - that's why the Q & A took place in July. We were also able to ask questions and get answers last night. We cannot wave a magic wand and get all the things we want because the number of supporters who actually fronted up turned out to be around 90/100 all told, but at least we have had these events. We have put our thoughts and questions across and the directors theirs. I would like to think both sides think it's good to listen to each other so that messages /views/ideas get understood. Then with time (in some cases) things can change. Speak to you more soon. UTG !
