I would like to see a question time panel appropriately chaired and webcast with BSS, Higgs, one of the ex directors, ollie and our MP - that's an open forum Serious question, why should Ollie be involved do you think? The rationale is that Ollie is a football man who has had experience working at the club but also many others enabling him to get some context. Aside from the club connections that would make a well balanced panel - but equally Trollope would offer some really good insight. Getting those people together would never happen but if it were then that would make one interesting evening.

Tick Tock, Tick Tock, Nick Higgs days at the helm of the good ship Box 1 are running out, by the middle of next week his tenure over our great club will be in tatters; no need for a "open forum"; we need some one who can deliver promotion not relegation and facilities not excuses. UTG AHHH, did things not quite work out how you envisaged, my heart bleeds for you.

Hi As you are aware I strongly back the idea of open forums because I believe it gives everyone the chance to put their questions forward and to get a direct answer. As you will appreciate the Chairman is extremely tied up with planning permission issues at the moment, but says he would like to hold the next open forum either in December or early January. I am sure he will confirm a date in the next few weeks. If I know sooner I will let you know - otherwise keep an eye out on the chairman's reports. best wishes Brian I imagine it will be sooner now there is good news.

Um isn't this about NH doing an 'open' forum & not BSS? Forgive me Terry if you mean you have been asking NH to come on here Paul, appreciate that NH is the one holding the open forum Paul but BSS has been the one who notifies fans which in itself is great and appreciated when it happens. However my issue is that a number of us have asked BSS very politely and courteously in numerous ways to share on here as well. There are after all fans on here who may not have accounts on Gaschat or read the Official Site. In fact I have copied and pasted his past notifications from Gaschat. Every request has been blanked and BSS will only communicate to forum fans through Gaschat. That is why some of us have become frustrated to the point of cynicism. Perhaps I could have phrased my comment better but I am getting a headache banging against that wall.... And another if the reasons I blocked my account on there. Unfortunately and given this forum has way more traffic, the club only wants a blinkered view. Jeez, just in my part of Kingswood, I know of several hundred who no longer go, no longer pass their love of Rovers onto their kids and who have all but given up on the club but it's more like the club gave up on them. It's a great shame to see entire families disappear and anyone, with any integrity, woujd fund that very worrying. It seems that putting their hands over their collective ears and going la la la la la is the way forward in the boards view. Shameful.

I'll put it to Nick Tanner & Nigel Turner, just for the hell of it.

Not sure why any ex employee, especially one who was spectacularly wronged by the club like PT, would take part.
Funny how so many who depart end up working in the top 2 levels of the game while we sit in the 5th...

It seems that putting their hands over their collective ears and going la la la la la is the way forward in the boards view. Shameful. Quite agree. My kids no longer want to go as fed up watching 0-0. It took 6-7 games for my youngest to see a goal and he never saw them win!
It will also not help that our neighbours appear to be heading in the right direction with their ground being upgraded in a blink of an eye with one of the richest men in the country at the helm.
And let's not get onto the Premiership overkill on TV.
