Why don’t the football club & supporters club agree to disagree about the £50000 & donate it to the only positive think happening at our club at the moment , which is the great work Adam Tutton & his team carry out at the clubs community trust. Hopefully their work will encourage alot of new Rovers fans for the future. £50K seems an hell of a sum of money just to hand over to the CT purely because the SC can't agree where it's going to be spent at The Quarters. It's a bit late now but why didn't they offer to fit out the new gym with equipment, at least everybody could then see where the money's been spent. Because they want something that only the development squad can use, or it seems, people watching the development squad.

That can be moved and transferred when they fall out with the club again and want it put in Jim’s back garden

Exactly. It's not like there aren't younger people doing anything, but they are doing other things like GasCast. That's the sort of people The SC should be reaching out to, or utilising in some way to get them on board, or use that platform to help them It’s clear to me that the head of the table is no longer suitable for the job, the tough part isn’t getting him out. It’s getting someone who wants the job Someone who wants the job exactly,don't all rush!

I see all the match day volunteers who turn up for the meeting with TG today are invited into the match day restaurant and will be wined and dined at the game tonight.

Trouble with that is not all of the volunteers were informed,I only found out at 3.30 today,too late for me to change plans. As far as I knew it was 4pm at the training ground. Mind you, I never had a reply to my e-mail from TG asking to attend. Think about 5 going. Committee members this morning now told they can attend! 3 committee members going I think(not Jim or Phil)

It’s time Tom Gorringe left the club. He is out to ruin the Sc and football club. The 50/50 is the supporters club baby. It is successful. Jim Chappell should tell Gorringe where to go and hands off the 50/50 draw

Istm TG could say, ok we'll run a half'n'half draw instead, and sell tickets at the ground on match days, and that will be that for the 50/50.

Jim Chappell should tell Gorringe where to go and hands off the 50/50 draw TG is one of the best things that have happened to this club, slowly dragging our commercial department into 21st Century. Change does not come with out the odd casualty. Something the supporters club could learn from. They are stuck in the 80s. New blood required or close. Simple really.

Jim Chappell should tell Gorringe where to go and hands off the 50/50 draw Not sure if you’re serious here or it’s sarcasm? But in my opinion, TG has done wonders for our club in the short time he’s been here …. He’s brought a significant uplift in the sponsorship we get, managed to introduce improved modern ticketing systems, brought in better advertising facilities, facilitated the refurbishment of the bars etc… and those are just a small number of things…. He’s also pretty approachable and responsive in communicating with fans…

Agree with many on here. The SC is no longer fit for purpose.
Holding it up as the voice of the fanbase is wrong.
Those in charge need to really think what the club actually needs from a supports club in 2021. Sadly I think there are too many involved who are happy enough carrying on their egotistical power trip.
I'd happily vote them out of the picture.

The lady on FB who emailed TG on Sunday, and later spoke to him on the phone, has now contacted the SC to call an EGM. She has the names of 50 members who support this request, I’ve no idea if the meets the requirements. At least the are people trying to be proactive and positive about improving things.
