This isn't an attack on them. Just a genuine question.
They may do valuable work I know nothing about, but we, or at least I, seem to hear nothing from them.
So what do they do and why don't I know about it?

They don't bother to post here anymore.
BSS did a couple of times under Comrade Higgs but I think he had his wings clipped.
Seems even worse under WAQ.
Pointless or toothless??
Bloody shame, BSS is a nice bloke.
Can't believe that communication was actually much better under Higgs.

Strange. I see Brian at pretty much all the away games and many home games. Always approachable and goes out of his way to ask if anyone has any issues that they wish him to raise.
Best of all, at least in my case, he comes bck with the answers.
Remember, unlike the other directors, he also holds down a full time job, so fair play to him. His role is to liaise between the fans and the board, and I think he does a damn good job.

That is a bit unfair as I suspect you don't know the involvement he has with the Academy.

So what do they do and why don't I know about it? To be brutally honest -- they don't have a roll - yes they are nice guys and help out - but so do lots of fans and they do not have fancy titles. |

I'm not saying the fans have to know the ins and outs of a cats backside, but if the club heirachy want it like that then one has to question the point/value of the fans director role. Im not disputing BSS is a decent enough chap; I had a long chat with him at Kidderminster (the last time I saw him at a game) but I didn't bother asking any pertinent questions because I knew I would only get a load of political waffle in reply. |

I suggest you need to attend more games then as BSS attends virtually every home game and most away games within a reasonable traveling distance of his Midlands home. BSS also attends every BoD meeting he's invited to attend, if fans aren't happy with his FD role then that's more down to how the new owners treat the FD role more than BSS. |

That's partly why I asked the question. On the Supporters Club website, Brian and Ken have made two contributions in the last year, only one for each relating to the running of the club, and those were in September last year. So what do they do? If they do nothing, then why are they there? If they do some good things, then why don't they tell us? Probably not the most important issue at the moment, I admit, but the positions were created (and they were appointed) for good reasons. I think they could play an important role in communication between ordinary fans and the main board, which is of course why they are meant to be there. |

So who do you think is to blame for the lack of communication the new BoD or the present FD's??

Nothing to report.
Hence no communication.
Bristol rovers do NOT sign dack.
Worth reporting?

The FDs were never participants in the 'real' Board meeting under the old Board who discussed important matters without the FDs being in attendance.
And eventually the Higgs Board became a one man band after all.
The current owners have appointed individuals to specific jobs who have the authority to make decisions so Board meetings are a rare beast.
Effectively the FDs are an irrelevance - I wonder what part they play in the Supporters Club anyway?
Perhaps someone on the SC committee can tell us?

If anyone is really interested, maybe put yourself up for the job ? This place has really turned into a know all, know f**k all talking shop. It used to be fun but it's all getting a bit nasty with snipes from the side lines. Time for a break, please try to have fun, but I do worry that we are getting closer to the red side in how we behave. Bye for now.  |

It's just a music forum now anyways. Yep , it was mildly amusing to start with but this is a Rovers forum and having to skip through pages of pointless song title posts is ruining it. Just my opinion..... Cue lots of witty song titles replies. Yawn. |

I understand that it's a bit childish, but I think there is so little on here which is actually worth reading at the moment, from anybody. It is silly season and will gradually get better the nearer we get to some football being played. |
