The BR Community Trust (if that's what is referred to) is an entirely different entity and independent of the FC (Charitable Trust with entirely different objectives and activities). The SC reps were appointed under the terms of the Share Scheme. Link here:
Share Agreement
Exactly right PP. Everybody who has been paying attention knew that already, but for some reason people seem to like to make excuses for Ken's lamentable performance as our representative. lamentable ? stop praising him up

Back-seat for Mr Barry Bradshaw?
Who is going to be the senior Rovers representative in Box 1?
We literally have no-one left to chew over the cud with other clubs' Directors.
I stand opposite and Box 1 is metaphor for this Football Club.

Yea, but I have a question. Why does the price the SC pay for shares even matter? You think you had nightmares, there was a stunned silence when that little gem came from one of Jim's 'old guard' at a SC Executive Committee meeting. Those are the people now running the show. Enough to make you go all twitchy, isn't it That question was asked at a meeting with Geoff Dunford before the Share Scheme was born. The SC reps asked that question, the Gas Trust (a bit of a rabbit in a headlight) coughed up £12. For the record we offered £1.10. Spendthrift. £1.10. At that price, I'm out!

bristolroverssc.co.uk/brsc-statement/?fbclid=IwAR3lmU3ZHk3K41RRelyTsPaoSlejUyUtl2UOIPqPzR_HpbrD6yB0WRe8kk4I regret to confirm reports that Mr. Ken Masters, the Supporters Club’s elected Director on the Board of the Football Club, has been banned from not only the Boardroom but also from all the boxes in the West Stand, including that of the Rovers’ Community Trust of which he is the Chairman. The Trustees and the Executive Committee of the Supporters Club consider that Ken has done nothing wrong and he has our full and unanimous support. The matter has been placed in the hands of the Supporters Club’s solicitors and we can make no further comment at this time. Jim Chappell, Chairman.

I have no idea who you are fanatical. And I don't know what relationship you have with the Board (or how you would know for a fact that Board meetings do not exist). I was told to my face by Wael Al-Qadi that Board meetings take place, and that Ken Masters is invited, but does not attend. There has only been one board meeting in the last 18 months, and was held in London. The previous one was held in Jordan. Ken was appointed to the board to run the community side of the club and BSS to be the direct liaison with the fans. And BBS was never invited to any Board meetings hence it was one of the reasons he decided to step down. So if KM has been banned from Board meetings were do the SC stand now with having rep on the board, is that something they can sue about, rather than KM as an individual? Looking at the bigger picture what other club as just two board members and now as their fifth different manager (if you count Maher twice) in charge inside a couple of months?

On a serious note, I cannot believe the SC are considering legal action over this? On what grounds? If it gets to court I would be surprised if Masters reputation was not shredded in the witness box.

There's something not quite right about that SC statement, who said that Ken had done anything wrong?
It reads as a rebuttal to an accusation, or is that just me?
Don't know I'm sure, but if somebody said that I wasn't welcome somewhere I wouldn't get straight on the blower to a solicitor, I would give them a call and ask what the problem was.
More to come on this story yet.
As a footnote. Harry, wrong again. Tut tut. Need to have a word with your source.

Assuming that the quantity of shares is recorded correctly, at £1.10, I think we would have both been at the piggy bank See reply above about Masters. I know nothing more than the man in the street, but am wondering if he's told Jim absolutely everything that he's aware of?

Amusing to read some comments from those keyboard warriors who slated dear Kenneth only weeks ago who are outraged now. Makes I laugh my socks off. Bet those same warriors are not even Brsc members and never even paid a penny into the share scheme. Please take your comments elsewhere the Brsc don’t consider you worthy to comment about their issues.

Please take your comments elsewhere the Brsc don’t consider you worthy to comment about their issues. Who are the people that shouldn't comment then Harry? We've done this endless times. The SC is there to represent both members and people who haven't joined. Anyway, since when were you the spokesman for the SC? But either way, you and I are OK to have a discussion about Masters as I've paid more than my fair share to buy the position that he holds. Can't wait for details of whatever it is that Ken's done to surface, there's something happening, or a massive misunderstanding. I've put the kettle on and got comfy. This is going to be entertaining.

How much had Masters put in when he first stood to be the elected rep?

The behaviour of the SC post boardroom split of 2006 was nothing short of disgraceful. Most of the same faces are still there.

I want nothing to do with Ken. He wasn't interested in representing my points of view when I was banned so why should I support him. Not bitter but I would rather remember those who supported me and my family. I don't see anyone suggesting you support him, but you might see a similar situation to yours happening? Totally different IMO.

Masters might have evolved too that but he was elected to be one of the two Supporters Club representatives on the board of Bristol Rovers 1883 ltd. That is what the share scheme agreement states unless it has been amended without further publication. The Community department is a totally separate company.
