Personally I am sick and fed up with the KS SAGA! To be quite honest could not care a toss, all I want too see is success on the pitch and would suggest KS and all the history that goes with the saga is unlikely to help our fight to get out of the Conference.

He is a fellow fan that has put significant time and money into the club. He was very popular with the players and staff and does not deserve this pathetic and childish ban just for "so say" being critical.
Id say any fan who has done what he has deserves our support and just because reading about it annoys you its not going to go away until it is put right.
I have only met Kevin because when he was a director and even afterwards he used to give our fans lifts to games for free in his car despite not knowing them. Top bloke.

I too am fed up with it,surely the best thing to "put it to bed" is to let everyone know KS can attend matches? Seems so simple to me.I will say no more on the subject!!

Hi
Yes thank you for the comments.. as to the lad who was hurt a big thank you to Ian Holtby and Barry Bradshaw and the secrurity and oher club staff for helping with that. It was his first ever Rovers game and I'm assured by his dad that it won't be his last.
I appreciate that the review has dragged on. The holiday period has not helped - but I am confident that Nick will be issuing is thoughts very soon!
As to Kevin - yes Nick and Kevin have met to discuss this issue. I do hope a solution can be found for the reasons you mentioned!
best wishes
Brian

Dins, any idea how much money he's put into the Club?
Bags.

No way of knowing individual investment but the directors when he was on board invested quite a bit buying properties around the mem so that we could get planning permission to redevelop the mem.

Brian, will you be posting on the Independent Forum? It has 1,000 members who I'm sure would like to ask questions too.

Hi Brian could you clarify on the rumours of two more long standing club employees being bade redundant in the Club Secretary Rod Wesson and Dave Harper?

I think you'll find the houses in Question were purchased by Colin Williams's wife.
Rod Wesson has not been made redundant. He has reduced his working hours to two days per week, and will finally leave the club at the end of this season I believe. I did hear yesterday that Dave Harper has been made redundant, and that the other Mr Harper ( no relation) will take on his duties.
As for BSS posting on the other forum, what a bloody cheek. With the slagging off he gets on there by the usual mob of 30 or so keyboard warriors, the vast majority of members don't even bother to post anymore.

All those loans were paid off when the Directors left the Board? IF KS really wants his ban lifting why is he still continually posting anti NH posts on the IF?

What Anti-Nick Higgs posts? Kev says the board are doing their best. They met it went well and NH was going to the board about it. According to Kev he tried to contact NH a week or so ago after the evidence to justify his ban. Having used the forums for lord knows how many years, Kevin has been no more critical than any other fan of the way the club has been run.
I may be wrong, but I am not entirely sure the issue is with Nick. I think Geoff and Kevin might need to kiss and make up.
As for Brian getting a bit of stick from a few people on the other forum. I am sure he is big enough and ugly enough to stand up and put his point across.
Maybe if Brian is re-elected and even if he isn't perhaps we can use his media and PR skills if the board consider them top quality enough. (wasn't so sure coming out of the Q and A)
You successfully managed over 500 journalists at Villa Park during the Euro 96 championships and today, you have your own PR company (Seymour-Smith Associates). Would it be fair to say you're a natural leader?
Villa Park for me was a fantastic experience. Being invited by the FA to come along and oversee the running of the stadium along with all the journalists was a huge honour. I absolutely love football and also cricket, they're two games I'm extremely passionate about. Anything I can do to promote those two games, I will do. As far as the leader thing goes, I've been very fortunate to have people around me that are just so in to what they're doing. I wouldn't be in the position I am today if I didn't have such great people around me to work with.
At present, what projects are you undertaking at Seymour-Smith Associates?
We're currently looking after the public relations for Warwickshire Cricket Club. We were heavily involved with the £32m Edgbaston development. We also organised the promotion for the Royal visit, the Test matches that took place and T-20 finals as well. I've been very fortunate. From many people's point of view, I have the dream job due to the opportunities that I have had.

So simply criticising NH is now a basis of banning a fan? I don't think NH said that and secondly seems there will be a lot of banning orders being sent in the post as we speak if that is the case.
On this comment:-
'As for BSS posting on the other forum, what a bloody cheek. With the slagging off he gets on there by the usual mob of 30 or so keyboard warriors, the vast majority of members don't even bother to post anymore.'
bit like the attacks Rod Chapman encountered when he posted on here. Accused of electioneering.
I just wish the same standards were applied to all forums. Also there isn't a them and us, just fans of Bristol Rovers. I really can see why we are the mire we are in.

Peter Parker, you really need to lie down if you can't recall the nasty and vindictive posts made on your forum. And if you don't see the constant slagging off of the board by Kevin even now then book in to Specsavers.
And don't try to hide behind ' oh he's only poking fun'. That's not fun.
I know Kevin goes golfing with ex directors and even a current director, but just because he is being fed info doesn't make him clever.
piratepete, if the worst anybody ever has a go at you about is electioneering you have nowt to worry about. It's the accusations etc that really do down the other forum, and many members now can't be bothered with it.

As for Kevin i wish him and Nick or Geoff would just sit down and sort it. Nick and Kev sat down and it has been left to the board to come back but has not been forthcoming apparently. Give the bloke the evidence and we can be done with it one way or another

'Your' Forum, 'My' Forum tosh, we are all fans! There were comments on the Rod Chapman thread that he should go back to the IF Forum, why is he posting here, he is electioneering. Frankly I would expect both BSS and Rod to electioneer! I know neither Rod nor BSS, I am quite sure both are passionate fans, but making out some of the comments on here are not as unpleasant as some of the comments on IF is wrong. You will recall that the moderator had to step in to the Rod Chapman thread to tell people to calm down.
I post on both forums, I read both forums. Everyone is a fan, everyone has a right to an opinion.
