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.

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.

The Ken Masters Band will be playing in the Thatchers End Bar after the Fleetwood game.

The "fans director" has about as much influence over BRFC as you do over the macroeconomic policy of The Seychelles. "Secure the future of the club". How's that going?

We should acknowledge their tremendous work over six decades. I don’t think anyone is ungrateful for what they have done/are doing. That isn’t the point here. It’s how they ruined it by continually trying to undermine and cause a divide for the current owners. Sometimes the best way to save face is to keep the bottom half shut. And he didn’t. Humility plays a large part in any walk of life, and if he was a humble man then he would be able to accept that he can still continue his work in the community which he has an abundance of energy for apparently and enjoy the match from half way up the East stand.

He's more off his trolley than usual, and he's usually quite a long way off of it. The present SC Chairman was opposed to the Share Scheme, a lot of his cronies didn't understand the objectives and most definitely didn't have any kind of grasp on the mechanism of it. So to try to associate the present SC with the positive aspects of the Share Scheme is a bit bonkers, even for Kegs.

SC have raised more money for ground improvements at Mem than Dwayne Sports have invested. We have a proper roof on North Terrace.
The Community Dept is like a jewel in the crown of BRFC. Tutton sounds like a man who should be in the Board Room. He might be lonely though.
Don't know Ken, but please respect his privacy during this difficult period of re-adjustment. We are one big family at BRFC.

I know who Fanatical is. He is a long-standing supporter. He goes by another name on the other Forum. Like all of us, he is harmless. Please respect Fanatical's privacy at this difficult time in Club affairs. We are one big family at BRFC. Not anymore we”re not. There are small groups that are still close knit but we are every but as toxic as our better off neighbours. It’s sad but it’s true.

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:

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.

Looking at that agreement (and christ that brought back some nightmares) I had to laugh at the share capital of the company we were buying into. It states 30,000,000 shares. Its was supposed to be 3,000,000 so we could block an EGM motion. There you go.

To be fair to Boycie, he does actually get to a few away games and I imagine it's easy enough for him to hitch a lift with the players. When I was going here there and everywhere with Rovers, he was the one board member you could pretty much really on being at some northern outpost on a cold Tuesday night. 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.

He should be nowhere near anything at all to do with the club, apart from being on the customer side of the counter.

We should acknowledge their tremendous work over six decades. Fair play to those who have volunteered flogging tickets , programmes and giving up their own time to benefit the club. However, whether they have 'secured the future of our club' or have been able to 'ensure the fans have a voice' maybe stretching it a bit.

I'm not saying he should have a right to do so, but I would imagine if you worked in a place for years it would be fairly easy to hitch a ride now and then.

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

I don't want to get involved in a character assignation of Barry, I don't think that he's a bad bloke, in fact, I've always found him perfectly polite, but surely, what with the relegations, UWE and Sainsbury's farces, all of which happened when he was on the BoD, you would think that he would just sit quietly at the back, wouldn't you?

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.
