The club played a game against Maidenhead United at the training ground last Tuesday? As for the rest of the statement re the club demanding £50k be paid immediately, that's anybody's guess but seems to be a very odd claim to make. The club will surely respond asap to such a staggering statement which has come out of the blue after silence from the SC for so long. I imagine the club will deal with it in house and won’t choose to air their dirty laundry like the supporters club have chosen to do. But it needs to be borne in mind that the SC are communicating out to all of their members who in effect’s the funds are to decide what to do with hence sending this out. It is not a press release per se and we only know of it either because you are a SC member or it has been posted here

In view of the claims made I feel the club will have to respond to inform the wider fanbase of their stance on these matters. Might only be me, but feels like another attempt by the SC to attack the club at a very low point in its fortunes and in this instance the commercial director appears to be their main target not our owner.

I feel like it would have been better to communicate this once they knew the result of the meeting tomorrow and once they’d got a response to the offer that was made. This just feels like they’re trying to preemptively put pressure on the club and turn their members against it.

Was literally going to reply with this. Haven’t had anything since late 2015/2016. Not sure what I’m getting from being in the SC tbh.

I doubt SC general members have any control over what the committee decide to do with the money anyway.

Moves and countermoves off the pitch. If only we could see this on the pitch. Big players that can't appear to play for the same team? No, just some moves and some countermoves lol

I would very much be interested to read the "demand" from BRFC for this money.
I don't think it's a surprise that they only part they've quoted is, "to support and sustain the training ground".

Whatever happens, I just hope the gas girls don't get affected because they have done so well and have been funded by the SC. Taking my kids to watch them has been the only good thing Rovers wise for me since the gas girls started.

Where's Eric Godfrey when you need him ?
Those longstanding fans will know of the war In early 1960s with Brfc and Brsc the true blue club and Eastville club were the result. Discord and in the end the supporters club won ...they paid for the floodlights at Eastville and major ground improvements. Then Brfc started dictating what they can and could not do...history repeating itself...this means war I am afraid. It will get nasty no prisoners taken last time.

Sad state of affairs we should all be pulling in the same direction, a club is nothing without its supporters. So many divisive cliques with the football club. Supporters Club and Presidents Club at odds with the club. Fans split on managerial appointment. Shocking first two home attendances and booed off already. Usually need everyone united and pulling in the same direction to be successful and we certainly don't have any of that.

You see good posters having arguments with each other, and it's a complete mess....

Crap ground, crap communication and school playground fighting.
