Shouldn't this thread be on Gaschat as well? I've read a few comments on the two forums suggesting that BRISA is 'our' group and the Welly group is 'theirs', but I really can't imagine most Rovers fans not supporting both groups, regardless of which forum they read. I think that might just be the impression of some but not all. I'm only signed up for this forum but went to the first meeting at the Wellington because it was being supported and sign posted by this forum. There's no reason for one group to be owned by either forum, I'm really not sure why anyone would suggest that unless they are trying to cause friction between the two forums and what purpose would that be for ?

Another group without the money to influence in anyway and will do more harm than good.The Board have made it very clear who they will deal with so what is the point other than wasting a few hours going over again what has been well analysed on here. The only thing that is going to change our club is an influx of cash and sometimes even that only proves that the "grass isn't always greener". Now is the time to get behind our team and get your asses down to the Mem for the first game and SUPPORT the team...because it will be the players and Manager who decide our future results wise not the Board unless Higgs,Dunford,Bradshaw and Jelfs are our new midfield.

Steve whilst totally disagreeing with some of your points (particularly the sentiment) I do fully respect your right to that view. I totally agree with getting behind the team.
Come along tonight and see what others feel. Get there at 7 and we can spend half an hour discussing why Bristol Rovers are where they are. I will even buy you a pint fellow gashead.

I fail to see how any group can do more harm than the BOD have managed in the last 12 months...... You'd do well to remember that before harping on about supporting the status quo.

With respect Steve, you're saying stick with "Luck and Chemistry" as per the last 5 years, do you really need reminding where that has got us? I support Rovers 100%, and as i see it if i don't stand up and demand my club run in the best way it can be and is given every opportunity to be successful , i am failing in my mandate as a supporter. Too many people in modern society stand by and do nothing, in a devils advocate reply - they are as guilty as those who fail us. UTG

If the success of a football club is entirely dependent on the cash coming in - how do you reconcile the fact that there are many clubs with a smaller income than Rovers who are more successful - or at least less unsuccessful? Should the fans not campaign to have the best club possible?

The Board may have made it very clear who they will deal with, but HTV consider the meeting this evening to have enough credibility to warrant them sending a camera crew along. The initial meeting also generated interest from the EP and Sunday Independent, so the Board would appear to be somewhat isolated in their concerns about not knowing who these people are. I respect your point of view, but I honestly believe that these groups do have the interests of the club at the heart of what they are trying to achieve, and I am sure that a good number of them will "get their asses down the The Mem for the first game".

I do not deny that these groups have the club at heart in the same way that the Supporters Club has the club at heart BUT my feeling is that unfortunately it is a waste of time until a group has financial backing BECAUSE the Board will never talk to these groups and consider them hostile. In fairness, I would say that they are not far wrong from what I read on here. That is not to say I disagree with a lot of the hostility but at the end of the day the only hope without a backer is that the players and Manager can bring success back to the club.

What do you mean without a backer? Nick Higgs owns the club and has told us that he backs his club with his own money. The message I am hearing on here is that supporters want to know what he is going to do to mend his broken club and if he isn't capable then to appoint somebody who can. The message I am getting from his club is that they are going to ride this out and carry on as before. Edit: you are right though, without money the board will not want to talk to this group. They might have to listen though if enough people shout loudly enough.

I appreciate that you believe that the BoD is the only way forward as no one has the clout to challenge them. I am concerned however that you feel the sentiment on here is just anti-BoD and that everyone should get behind the team and all will be well. All is NOT well. If BRSC is simply to be a mouthpiece of the BoD then fans will express their opinions elsewhere which they are entitled to do - be it good or bad. If the only way they can do that is on here or by forming their own independent supporters club then they are fully entitled to do so just as you are entitled to believe and state that the BoD is the only game in town. I am member 617 and more are joining all the time. No organisation can ignore a group that big or bigger. If they do then they are either cock sure of themselves and their ability or stupid. I leave you to choose which Steve. Having worked with businesses large and small for 40 years I can tell you which I believe.

A point on the GAschat forum id that the BRISA has a link to this forum, but not Gaschat.
I appreciate this is the bigger forum, but if BRISA is to be representative on the fans, I think it only right to link to the other forum as well as anything that looks like a specific affiliation might be detrimental.
Of course,that is up to those in charge
