Yes I'm confident that when we restart from the lockdown that our club will be changed forever. Whether that involves actually playing football is much more unpredictable.

I have not read all the 11 pages of threads on this subject, but, following the article in today’s Bristol Post, I now worry for the future of our club, I sense the situation between the club and the supporters club cannot be rectified. When all this CoronaVirus stuff is over, will be have a football club to support? Are we seeing the beginning of the end of Bristol Rovers Football Club? How long will it be when we are told the club is going into administration? And how long will it be before we hear that the club is being liquidated?
All this is very serious and as said above, I fear for our football club.

Nobody on here suggested they are leading Bristol businessmen that came from Sam Frost the Bristol Post/Live reporter. If they were being brought into try and facilitate a new stadium and weren't wealthy individuals then that seems a positive sign we're not just about to go bust! You stated it two pages ago Topper. I didn't know you were quoting Frosty. You made no reference to that. If you did apologies. As for someone else remarking about player outgoings that never happened. It would be funny if not so serious. People were working up until almost 11pm on the last day of the window, chiefly trying to offload a certain striker of ours. There were no takers. It was assumed that the 'prospective fee' received would have created breathing space. It was not to be. Why say 'certain striker' why not name him if it's true, why say 'two directors' why not name them if its true. Your theme seems to be negativity without the facts. Just like JC's statement.

Isn't the problem that you and your friends are always being negative about the club, always seem to be working against it? Is this the reason why you are always at odds with the owners? Are you justified I've no idea because I just go and watch the football. I've read your negative posts on here about what's gonna happen, like selling our best players and they don't happen, so if you are to continue with this attitude we need some facts, that's all and a few true prophesies to give us more confidence in you and what you are saying. Me and my friends. Are you saying that everyone else who is sceptical to put it mildly at the way our club is being run is necessarily a friend of mine? Or do you mean like minded people whose ID I have no more idea about than you? I'm at odds with the owner because anyone who can rapidly increase our indebtedness in 4 years with no discernible benefit to the club is not able to run our club sensibly. The best players issue is of course always a fluid action because our board are not masters of others clubs purchasing ability. It would be quite easy to quote names etc. But how long do you think they would remain in position? If you and others can sometimes think outside the box, these posts are not always aimed at other posters on here, but sometimes 'others' who know exactly where they come from. What i I would say is that the Masters Hamer issues are really side issues that distract our fans gaze from the only thing that matters, and that is the survival of our football club. I just happen to believe that we are not in safe hands, and that we DO need 'a white knight' to come charging over the hill. Just ask yourself, if you were starting a business, would you have our remaining board running it?

The chasm is between the Supporters Club along with the President's Club against the owners. Its not between the fans and the owners as I would think that most fans aren't in any of those clubs. Majority rule? So you believe that fans in neither camp support the board. I don't think so, and nor do you.

I realise you won't want to name names but can you tell us any more about the two people involved ? The prospect of having some leading Bristol businessmen on-board would have given a glimmer of hope because we badly need some new vitality and fresh ideas and if they are Gasheads then all the better. But how would they have been investing in the club ? By acquiring shares from Dwane Sports in order to provide some financial return for Wael's brothers ? Through a share issue putting new cash into the club, perhaps to finance the player development plan, funding a training ground and extra coaching support for the manager ? Or would they have been more like the potential Fruit Market Developers and been brought in to facilitate a new stadium ? I notice someone on here has suggested the two directors are leading Bristol businessmen. No they aren't. That would give the impression of them being white knights riding over the hill to save us. They are both out and out Rovers fans who are desperate to see the club heading in the right direction, and who had ideas for a stadium site to secure our future. Someone asked 'would they have been more like Fruit Market Developers who had been brought in to facilitate a new stadium'. The answer to that is yes. I think the question you need need to ask is why they were appointed to the board, and then the following day they weren't. Can we seriously think the person at the helm knows what he is doing when this sort of thing happens? It doesn't matter what I may know or may not as opposed to all you 'plebs'. That is pathetic. Some people are worried about stating what they know. As far as I am concerned, if things carry on as they are we won't have a club to support. So stop the hand wringing, and wake up before it's too late. Calling us "plebs" now I see, you wonder why you get short shrift on here when you come on throw an "ITK" comment in to the mix and the generally f*ck off again.
I recall sitting in front of you at Newport some years ago when you and your mates were slagging the players off; they turned it round and won the game. Some supporter you were that day.
Unless you produce actual proof of your "knowledge" and not hearsay then it's no wonder you are mocked.

Just been told that there is a thread on Facebook which asks about trusting the board. It's now 75% don't, with comments like thank god they don't run the country.
I wonder if all of those are friends of mine? Suffice to say I'm not on Facebook so can't answer any questions about it.

Gasincider, can I ask why you continue to spout your 'ITK' nonsense on social media platforms, yet when you're asked to back it up, and go on Gascast to let everyone know what you are allegedly privy to, you run for the hills, and chicken out? Bit like here really, someone asks you to back up your claims, but you just disappear for a week or two, and hope that everyone's forgotten by the time you come back.

I just happen to believe that we are not in safe hands, and that we DO need 'a white knight' to come charging over the hill. Just ask yourself, if you were starting a business, would you have our remaining board running it? Well firstly if I was running a business I wouldn't have Masters or Chappell anywhere near it. As for the owners I don't know. The reason I don't know is that Masters hasn't acted professionally and kept the fans in the loop. We want to know this information, we do think outside the box, we are open minded. We have a valued poster on here saying that he witnessed KM 'bad mouthing' the owners to a group of fans. Do you think this is the correct behaviour for a director? You imply fans should think 'outside the box' but KM by his behaviour has engaged in 'village gossip' of a negative fearful kind. We expect more professional communication from our representative on the board. You say if you name names 'positions would be lost' why? Confidentiality or just lies? Either way why do you bother to say anything other than a mere poster on a football forum? I don't get your stance. It just seems endless negatively without any positive action. You talk about the way the club is run and it doesnt look good to me, but if you did a poll about how the representative of the SC did his job I would imagine the response would be as equally negative as your opinion of the owners. I wish for a better connection between not just the owners and the fans but the SC and the fans who I don't believe have given much positive input.

It was 'plebs' not plebs. Inverted commas signify something else Phil as you are intelligent enough to know. The trouble with forums is that if you disagree with someone's point of view people start getting forensic about every word. You know exactly what was meant. The inference was to encompass things like 'mere mortals' and 'those not in the know'. But you knew that anyway didn't you. As for the Newport thing, not me guv. Its not hearsay, and I won't name names as you well know. But if Wael comes out publically and denies the story, that could be mighty interesting.

They are embarrassing themselves and at the moment, Wael won't have to do anything. They are going to implode.
I mean this most sincerely, I feel sorry for the rest of the volunteers that are part of the SC having their names dragged through the mud with the egotistical fools.

Gasincider, can I ask why you continue to spout your 'ITK' nonsense on social media platforms, yet when you're asked to back it up, and go on Gascast to let everyone know what you are allegedly privy to, you run for the hills, and chicken out? Bit like here really, someone asks you to back up your claims, but you just disappear for a week or two, and hope that everyone's forgotten by the time you come back. Let me think. Shall I name people that have no faith in the owner um................... No. Gascast?

That's like saying every single member of the SC and PC are against the board. Perhaps they are if it's run like a communist state.
