This thread is now nearly a month old. Well done Rovers. Just another piece of inspiration from our wonderful club, they will reap what they sow, even further reductions in attendances. I don't suppose the fact that Starnes has gone MIA will affect overall attendances. I doubt people who don't use these forums even know that a Q&A was ever proposed, it's only people who participate on here and in the other place who really care. Most fans are content to turn up and watch, they know their views aren't considered and don't bother themselves with the politics. As we have learned, out views are dismissed as irrelevant by those who own and run the club. As soon as the Jordanian bankers can find a way of going back to the Middle East with their money intact they'll be off without a backward glance. They don't give a s hit about us really.

Think I have now moved from surprise to anger and now on to apathy, starting to find other things to do with my time. Saturdays suddenly don't feel quite so important. Season ticket for next year seriously in doubt. The "user experience" is less appealing, don't really want to turn up at 11am on a Saturday spending shed loads of cash on beer and food, because it is readily becoming apparent that we don't really matter to this club at the moment.

Unforseen circumstance and postponement may be a result of Wael not wanting to fly and travel through airports due to Coronaldo virus at this time...just a guess!... It's such a shame that no technology exists that would allow Wael/Starnes to communicate when they are anywhere other than in the media room under the West Stand. Unfortunately the last few pigeons released in Jordan only made it as far as a pizza in Italy (exported to Jock-land), hence the ongoing communication hiatus.

Apparently it’s been done and will be released “soon” according to a tweet from Gorringe. Why they can’t just release it straight away is beyond me ?

Yes, everyone missed it because it was on last night. After editing there was only 20 seconds left, so they slipped it in between the Hovis & anusol adds.

The clamour for it will be laughable when the product is played and we still know Fa and neither does he, except Plymouth are going okay and maybe will be getting promoted 😂😂

The interview will tell us nothing more than we already know. Guaranteed.

My guess is that if we get 3 points on Saturday then Starnes will appear on Monday...if we get a point then it's even money. There will be more unforeseen difficulties if we lose.

Further to the feedback released earlier this week in relation to the ticketing procedures, we continue the detailing of responses to the recent ‘Fan’s Survey’ with the feedback highlighting the retail and catering departments at the club.
We have broken down the feedback below into each department, highlighting what the club is doing as action to the points raised, some of which have already started to be implemented.
It’s our ambition to host another ‘Fan’s Forum’ at the end of the season, as a way of gauging progress on the points and topics raised and to discuss new engagement measures moving forward.
Retail
The option to include a ‘click and collect’ facility when ordering items through brfcdirect.com was raised and has since been implemented and is available as an option when choosing a delivery method.
The stocking of kids and baby kits was discussed and it was communicated that this seasons kit is in stock across all sizes from babies up to adults.
The feasibility of a ‘pop up store’ in town was mentioned. The Club has looked into this and permanent facilities would be cost-prohibitive. We are keen to explore pop up options and have contacted local shopping centres for availability and options to look at in the future.
It was mentioned that it would be an idea to explore the concept of stocking and supplying ‘fans t-shirts’, which could be personalised. We are looking into this service to be able to take designs submitted by supporters and print them on-demand in-store. More details will follow on this soon.
Finally, on retail, the stocking of disposable raincoats and golf ranges was signposted. These are currently being looked into.
Catering & Bars
Supporters attending the ‘Fan’s Forum’ enquired about more variety in food offerings and kiosks. We are currently reviewing the catering offering across the stadium and may trial some new options ahead of the end of the season to gauge popularity.
The reasoning behind the change in pasty supplier was asked. Our previous supplier was no longer able to provide a fresh product. Frozen products require a longer cooking time and the new supplier was able to provide products of a high quality, as well as building a purpose-built kitchen facility to allow stock to be cooked on site at a significant investment. Without this, we wouldn’t have been able to serve pasties through the kiosks.
An enquiry was made to see if it would be possible to introduce a system to order food to collect at half-time. We have looked into options for this and continue to look at options used by other clubs to ease the congestion around the busy times on a match day. At present we haven’t found a system for this that we are convinced would improve service, in a cost-effective manner, but we will continue to monitor this situation.
There was a request for more pre and post-match entertainment. We are currently reviewing this area and we will be looking into plans to further develop this and increase the regularity of events moving forward, to build on the success of having live music in the Clubhouse Bar on a number of occasions already this season.
The queuing time in the bars was raised as an issue. We are trialing a new system that you may have seen at other sporting venues, where the pints fill up from the bottom called ‘Bottoms Up’. This will be available in the ‘Thatchers Bar’ for the Sunderland and Ipswich games on a trial basis. In addition to this, we are also trialing two-pint glasses in the ‘Thatchers Bar’, with a view to minimising queuing times.
