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. I'm not seeing any outrage here - more bemusement at the way the club is being run and/or people thinking KM having to sit elsewhere is a good thing as he's a right bell end. I used to be a BRSC member but thankfully had sense to steer well clear of the donation (share) scheme. Condescending and arrogant attitudes like yours won't be getting me to renew my membership any time soon.

Oh, OK, so you can just jump on the players' coach.Fair enough. In that case I'll stop using the SC travel to get to games sat with social misfits and weirdos, half of who don't even like each other. Well I would imagine an ex director would be able to. Blimey. Some managers don't even want current directors on the team bus.

from orgasmic at the other place....
This is taken from a post discussing Ken and the SC a while ago...
With regard to the community trust, in 2004, it seemed that our community department was about to fold, with no facilities worthy of the name being available, and no funding. Ken decided not to allow that to happen, as it would mean the sh** would have the whole of Bristol to themselves. So, he put a considerable sum of his own money into the scheme, and worked to get additional funding from other sources, and approached a number of schools in the area who between them raised more funds to start a revamped community trust with funding of about £35k. To cut a long story short, this was in about 2008. Ken appointed Adam Tutton, and started promoting the Trust as hard as he could, with massive support from Adam. This year, the Trust has just achieved a turnover of over £500,000, has had fantastic success in helping people in all walks of life in the area, so much so, that in 2018, it won the Bristol Life Charity of the year award, and this year it has received the Gloucester County FA community award. It is presently short listed with Cardiff City and Sunderland for a national business award. The decision will be made later this month.
Cardiff and Sunderland receive huge backing from their parent clubs, whilst ours doesn't.
As for the gas girls, for some years now, funding was promised to get them back up and running. Nothing transpired, so in May, Ken apparently asked the supporters club for £2000, to get the required kit and a few footballs, to get the girls up and running. He said he would need the funding before August to get the project under way. The supporters club decided it was a worthy project, and immediately donated £5000, literally the following day. The gas girls advertised they were reforming, and on the first day, over 140 ladies and girls reported at the training site.
There were only only a couple of staff to cope, and they were shocked at the response. But they were determined not to turn anyone away, and selections were made as to groups to represent the first team and the development squad, whilst most of the others were encouraged to play in in house matches if only to achieve higher levels of fitness, and generally creating an avenue for socialising and getting people out into the fresh air. Since then, the staff has increased to 10, including two who were present with Adam and Ken last night, who were brilliant representatives for the girls and consequently the club. They were all of the same opinion, and couldn't praise Ken enough for his efforts in creating the new gas girls network, and I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised by the efforts Ken, who is a retired guy has put in.
He worked in the the education system for some years, and used his experiences to help create a classroom set up to run B-Tech courses, which apparently are the equivalent of a three A Level course. This I believe is in the West Stand.
................
I would add that I believe despite his position meaning he had complimentary passes for each game he still bought a season ticket every season. I think it has also be said that it was Ken who located the FM site, sought funding and set the wheels in motion to secure the future of BRFC. (Although I don’t know that bit for a fact so stand to be corrected).
Regardless of what people think of the SC I think it’s sad that a man who clearly has the best interests of Bristol Rovers at heart and has given more time and energy to the cause than anybody else I’ve known of is pushed aside in this manner. Then I come on to gaschat to find people mocking his suit, haircut, lack of contact details etc. What a sh** fest that as fans we are more interested in his email address or suit than the above. Boggles the mind. In addition nobody seems to care that there is nobody of any description representing our views at board level and trying to do what’s best for the FC. Whether Ken was the best person at that or not, he was better than an empty chair. It also concerns me that there is no statement from the club. If they have a reason to remove our representative then let’s hear it.
For me the trust with the current board has gone. Financially they have been pathetic and personally they have made some decisions that rob the soul from the club. I’m falling out of love with it fast.
Anyway if people could be somewhat respectful to a man who has clearly done more for the club and community than any of us that would be great.

I think its hilarious and I am a paid up member of the SC and contributed over £1k to the share scheme.......unlike Ken before he freeloaded.

I don't know you philton. I'm thinking you don't know me.
I paid a few quid to watch Rovers this season, I'm lucky enough to be able to afford a season ticket for a few seasons. Plus a few extra per match. Like I have for many a season.
I'm guessing you and many others do the same.
What has KM paid to support the club out of his own pocket? How much? When?
If he has, he can claim back. And, if he's that much a GasHead can follow us from a different perspective, the plebs on North,East or South....so what's the f in problem?

Look forward to seeing Ken queueing for his half time pasty at the Thatchers end shed sometime soon.

Sorry to butt in, but why would Ken have a personal interest in funding a football club's community department, when, as has been stated twice above, he was more than happy to try to weasel his way onto the BoD of that same club using other people's money?

So what has the Brsc ever done for us Raised hundred s of thousands of pounds to secure the future of the club. Worked tirelessly to secure a share scheme to ensure the fans have a voice. We should acknowledge their tremendous work over six decades. You alright, bro?

I 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. Dear Mr Chappell, Chairman, The Supporters' Club have solicitors? By how much do you hope to increase debt by suing the football club? What damages do you seek? Will they match exactly the sum fans contributed to the share scheme? What will you spend it on? I look forward to your prompt reply. Yours sincerely, Mr Clypeata, Duck.

Oh Ducky. Far too much credit given. They've never grasped that they require a possessive apostrophe.

I have no knowledge other than the community department was outside of his Supporters Club representative remit. All very honourable of him to help the community department but it was obviously at the expense of his elected role for which imo he was useless.

Doesn't sound like he had much time for SC or Share Scheme stuff. Why didn't he just apply for a job or volunteer in the community dept? Odd little fella he is.

Dear Duck it is none of your effing business whatsoever unless you are a fully paid up member Oh Kegan, I was, for years. I quit mainly due to the corruption and collusion. Less so, but still also, due to the pig-headed attitude of self-appointed spokespeople like you. If it's none of our 'effing business', then please refund our cash. You're a fruitcake, Degg. Shoveler
