perhaps at the SC AGM, Ken Masters can tell us what goes on, perhaps it could be publicised to the whole fan base I wont hold my breath though, and assume he will muddle on regardless as our representative And risk not being able to sit in the warmth of box 1 with a prawn sandwich in hand? Don't be daft.

they don't hate each other.
BUT they do not talk to each other, and do not understand what each other is supposed to do and why and how they have both been employed.
neither are rovers fans, so they take their salaries and say thank you very much. They don't HAVE to get on or be mature because no-one is making them. It would be great if they could but they can get away without it, even though it means the club is going nowhere. I have some sympathy for them thought as they've been put into a silly structure {or lack of structure]
Thats contrary to what I have been told.

Fair point, my question in response is: has he come back to make appearances before and would he be there even if he was in the country today? From what we know of Wael so far I would hazard a guess that he would have never missed a publicity attempt while his stock was high. Given how his only public appearance of late has been to bat away Geoff's questions (I'm discounting his appearances in the boxes as he isn't there primarily to address the fans) it seems to me he is lying low and would not be there tonight even if he had a business meeting in clifton this afternoon.
you are both right.
no one is expecting wael to come just for a SC AGM, but the club usually provides a toplevel person to go, and as there are 3 top level people around, two of whom are paid, you would expect someone to go.
It is very clear that the owners wish to marginalise the SC as much as possible. No real surprise though. They didn't want 2 of them on the Board. They don't want them having their own room (for their members) behind the terrace. They didn't really want them selling matchday tickets, merchandise or other functions many normal clubs would do themselves. if they could do it themselves they would happily sell the programme, do away travel etc themselves as well.
Why the general reluctance to work with the SC at all? No influence on the board is one thing but their general shunning, like the SC are a bunch of lepers, seems very odd and not very community spirited. It just reinforces stereotypes of the worst aspects of foreign ownership: absentee landlords who run a closed shop and create barriers between the club and it's supporters.

The fans are the lifeblood of any football club. These owners are treating us with utter contempt.

Wael has no say in who the SC director is?? Surely it's only fans, more specifically SC members that make that judgement? Personally I think he's useless which is one of the reasons I'm not in the SC. Ironically, the only way for me to realistically do anything about it is to join the SC and support an alternative candidate should the chance arrise.
catch 22.
I think it was the last election when someone credible did challenge the establishment, but BSS still got in. BSS wasn't bad, but it did smack of well known figure getting voted in, over someone who might actually help some change. to be fair, they did have 2 SC directors on board until the current owners forced them to reduce it to 1, and with 2 there at least they had different people - personalities around.
I can't never understand, as timid as they are, why nobody from the SC kicked up any fuss when their reps on the board were reduced by 50% following the takeover given their shareholding, I believe, wasn't reduced, particularly when the real fans rep, BSS, was booted for Mr Invisible, KM, as far as most fans are concerned, perhaps somebody who attends tonight can ask what KN actually does to represent supporters?

Thats contrary to what I have been told. Was that pre or post the Plymouth "text" Severncider is apparently going to produce tonight? Thinking about any chance of a live stream on FB for those fans who can't make it later?

What a thrilling revelation that was. Sure it will change everything when released tonight at the Rovers sh**ty AGM which is less influential than this place. At least gaschat and FB forced a late night media release once upon a time before the bullshit owners and cronies threw the towel in

Unfortunately it can’t be announced though as WAQ uses O2.

I wonder if Sevencider raised this question tonight posted on the other forum:
"Genuine question i understand Dwayne sports want £25 million plus for the club is that for all the shares or just their 92% if so that makes the supporters club shares worth 2 million plus if so say new owners want complete control the supporters club cops 2 million do all members get a dividend"

Not a dream. Ken Masters said there had only been four board meetings since the AQ’s bought the club. The fifth one is today.
