I thought this worth a thread of its own.
I'm starting to worry now. Big week for the club and he's nowhere to be seen.
I know it's lockdown, but perhaps if anyone sees or hears from him they could post on here so we know everything's ok.
I emailed him last week but he never replied.
Same for Tommy, but I'm a bit less worried.

To be honest I'm not worried or even concerned on both scores but if they are still part of the structure it would be nice to hear their views on the recent appointments.

He's working on a new 2021 remix of Tom's Diner, with Suzanne Vega.
Sorry if I've given you an ear-worm!

Not just Martyn Starnes.
Where is Tommy Widdrington?
Karim Mardem-Bey?
Tom Gorringe?
What do these Board members have to say about the most controversial managerial appointment in the history of Bristol Rovers FC?
Surely you would either speak out, and resign.
Or get your positives out ASAP and nail your colours to the "B***** project".
One thing I've learnt in business - if you're not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
Or are they trying to sit on the fence and try ride out the storm and "see how it goes"?
I apologise for my negativity right now. But this looks to me like the current Board structure is about to implode.
God knows what will replace it. I've been consistent in saying that Wael Al-Qadi needs 'better people' around him and on the Board.
But now I dread what is coming to BS7.

Not sure that is being negative, its just asking questions of our board, which seems very fair. |

I believe that Karim was taking ill at a recent home game and was taken to hospital so hope he is recovering well.

Exactly my thoughts, it’s looking like one extreme (Wael’s mate and DC’s mate) to the other (B*****’s mate’s) |

Wael should bring in people who have Rovers at heart like Colin Williams.

Now that Debenhams has closed Starnes is probably looking for a new doorway to sleep in with some fresh carboard to cover him judging by his appearance.

Martin says 'gratitude to the fans that have stuck by them (think he means the Board,not sure)'.'Their ambition remains to become a challenging force in the 3rd tier and to gain promotion to the 2nd tier'.
"Whatever it takes".

Agreed o2o2b.I am sure he knows he has been under close scrutiny (as close as fans can get at least) because of this seasons failings.Doubts over his judgement and word now exist. I wonder if WAQ has waved the naughty finger at him. |

I wonder if WAQ has waved the naughty finger at him. I sincerely doubt it. I've got a feeling behind the scenes, off pitch and away from the fan's eyes and ears, he's getting some jobs done more efficient from a business pov. It'll all come out in the wash I'm sure.. |
