Bristol Live understands Turner stepped down from duties on the board for “personal reasons” stemming from verbal abuse he and his family have received at the Mem from associates of former chairman Steve Hamer and Masters.
This is interesting. Looking forward to people naming names.

Couldn't possibly be anything to do with anyone who has appeared on here, running his mouth and who won't have a word said against the little sh1tweasle I shouldn't think

At least with no footy on we have this never-ending soap opera to keep us entertained. I'm hooked.
Like an even more sh*t comedy version of Eastenders.
Unpicking this web of intrigue, farce, back stabbing, misdirection, smoke and mirrors, rank incompetence, deluded fantasies and shattered dreams will keep future club historians busy for decades - except there probably won't be a club.
F*ck sake. :-)

Spend every week thinking at least things can't get any more farcical and we outdo ourselves every single time. No one comes out of this with any credit, but the Supporters Club, more specifically Jim, made my jaw drop today. It's like an insane competition with all the major players trying to outdo each other by being more and more moronic.

In Nick Higgs' day you could find yourself banned for merely indulging in a bit of incontinent criticism.

Please tell me who is left from before the Al-Qadi's arrived who has any influence in running the Club? at Board level? Supporters? Publicity? Stadium Management? Program? Team Management? Auditors? There appears to me to be a pattern, but not to you? You say it like that’s a bad thing? Superb.

The implication being that inconsistent criticism would have been absolutely no problem at all. None of the secrecy or petty vendettas that were present under the old regime have gone away - still here only with £20m more debt.

Who could have lifted him?

That is true but I think a few fans were p*ss*ng themselves when Nick Higgs said it.

The sheer small minded spitefulnes still makes me chuckle - probably not so much being on the receiving end. I do hope that Nick is much happier now, and I do mean that. I'm sure he must laughing out loud every day given how much he mugged off the current owners.

I'm sure he must laughing out loud every day given how much he mugged off the current owners. I really didn’t care when I first received the ban and was happy to accept it. That changed when the lies started to come out to try and justify their actions. Every time they tried to issue another lie I responded with the truth. Thankfully they couldn’t win because they couldn’t back anything up. I say they but I eventually found out it was one person only behind it and he tried to blame other directors for the action. I know that wasn’t the case because I was contacted by a couple of other directors. Strange really that everything that blew up in 2006 and after was about the way to clear a £2.3m debt and balance the books. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near what has to be dealt with now.

Strange. And very sad. Probably as well that some aren't here to see how things turned out.

blimey, they are doubling down! Let's go through their list....
A company director can be held personally liable for losses incurred by a business which are proven to be the result of board decisions, or a failure act properly.
I wonder which one they are thinking of? Or maybe they are trying to hint strongly, without actually saying anything?
a director can be held personally responsible by a liquidator if they allowed the company to carry on trading after it became clear that it would go into liquidation.
the Insolvency Act 1986 which gives rise to the possibility of directors being made personally liable for the company’s debts, the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, and the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007.
I think they are only hinting at the first of these Acts. The last two would be really ramping it up

Bristol Rovers President’s Club Statement by David Thomas | Apr 3, 2020 | News
Football has, not surprisingly, taken a back seat of late though these are difficult times for many of the nation’s football clubs, not least the club we all support, Bristol Rovers.
News that Supporters Club Director Ken Masters resigned his position this week because he was, in effect, ostracised by the club’s owner came on the back of news that the club was some £25m in debt.
Over the course of the last 12 months The Bristol Rovers President’s Club and the Bristol Rovers Supporters Club have worked closely on a number of projects and Ken’s input has been most valid and very welcome.
And now that link, between Boardroom and Support groups, has disappeared with no logic or explanation. The club can no longer claim to have a reputation for being a family one and we view Ken’s departure with dismay. Issued earlier today. It is sad to have to take sides on what appears to be a chasm developing between supporters and owner and we fear for the very future of our club. However, we fully support Ken and Bristol Rovers Supporters Club moving forward and hope for a satisfactory conclusion to these troubled times.
While we all hope and pray that the coronavirus will be beaten sooner rather than later and that we all come through unscathed, it may seem trivial to worry about sport and football in particular, but we felt we could not let two significant issues in our club’s recent history pass without comment.
We hope that you are all staying safe and well.
John Harding
Chairman

The bottom line is that Jim Chappell has made a fool of himself with his statement - especially his idiotic knowledge of personal liability and his wild guess at the reasons for Mike Turner's resignation. Enough is enough. JC to resign.. Share Scheme should end SC to be disbanded. Surely time for new Supporters Organisation to be formed and anyone over 40 or with massive ego hiding behind love of the Club should be barred from holding Office. 😂 Please do not respond with virtue signalling based on volunteering. That is not the issue. We will probably need this organisation for our survival and in short, the Old (where were you on a cold Tuesday night?) Guard, are not up to it. great suggestion
I nominate Vaughan, Rex, Bamber as the gang of three maybe with support as Anngas as the voice of reason to create a NEW BRISTOL ROVERS SUPPORT GROUP has a ring to it. Ballot papers being prepared for all new members to join. Subscription pay as much as you like min donation £3. First virtual open meeting at the Mem Sat 4 April at 3pm. Looking forward already to taking this new organisation forward.

Soap operas eh? Some of the plot-lines are barely believable...
