so what of the below do The SC argue is wrong What has happened wuith Ken Masters? He's been banned from the boardroom and the boxes on the West Stand. Why is that?He's been suspended from boardroom activity. I can't go into details because it's subject to legals but, suffice to say, no decision like that is taken lightly and we'll have to see how things transpire once our respective solicitors start talking to each other. I respect there are legalities but we're talking about someone who's the Supporters' Club representative on the board of directors. They hold an eight per cent shareholding and you can't enlighten me or Rovers fans listening into why you've banned that man?No, I can't. I would if I could. But the position is, the club and owners are more than happy to have a Supporters Club representative on the board but at the moment it's not Ken Masters. There is a legal conversation going on with him and the Supporters Club and there are reasons for it that I can't go into detail about it. It's slightly embarrassing this, though. It's Bristol Rovers Football Club and you're banning the person who's representing your supporters on the board of directors?Well it might appear to be embarrassing from the outside but we wouldn't be taken the action we're taking lightly. And I hope at some stage the whole issue can be discussed with the fans and the supporters club but at this moment we can't do that. Legal action seems to be the worst possible course of any direction in any conflict. Is there no way you can sit down with Ken Masters and resolve this?That attempt has been made, really. As I understand it, it's the Supporters Club that have taken the legal advice and we have responded to that advice and that's where it stands at the moment. Do we want to be involved with lawyers over this issue? No, certainly not, but that's where we are. So why don't you get around a table and talk it through?I would be more than happy to but, to a certain extent, the die has been cast by the Supporters Club appointing solicitors. So if I had a similar conversation with them and encouraged them to come and chat with you and forget the legal action, would you be receptive to that approach?I'd more than happy to sit down with the Supporters Club. Where were these quotes taken from mate? And when were they made?

Apparently Ken Masters got in a violent confrontation with M Bison on a pier...

If the SC aren't careful they could be told they are no longer wanted and told to give up their caravan.

In fairness to MS, having heard the interview at the time I can not remember him saying anything that can be constrewed as being factually incorrect or false. In fact apart from offering to meet them, he said due to the supporters club legal intervention he could not say anything.

It's kinda incredible that the communication on this very forum is more sensible and intelligible than the communication between our board and our SC.

Can you not read between the lines? Well that depends. The only people that have mentioned impropriety are the SC themselves which they deny is the case

Doesnt everyone already know why he was banned? Because he isn't on Wael's side of the divide.

Alternatively, if he not happy with how they are running the club shouldn't he have raised his concerns publicly before it got to this?

Is he meant to be representing the SC who after the share issue now own 8% of the club? And of course you are right about raising his concerns before it got to this stage as most people would have done. Unfortunately this is BRFC and it would appear to be far more fun to play silly games. UTG!

Amazing isn’t it. All the rank and file fans said that didn’t tell us anything but the SC think that all of that was full of inaccuracies...??🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️ They really are determined to push their self destruct button it seems. It’s making them look silly all of this and it’s doing the club no favours either.

When is the next election for the SC representative on the board? Hopefully we can elect a new rep and resolve this problem
