It's damned fine grass though. …although the going, instead of being good to firm, is hard; just like watching the team. 😉 What ferking team.

A slightly more upbeat statement, but also sounds like an opportunity missed and the ‘new’ committee will still be made up by a load of old farts.We will see.

Prehaps it's because as you put it, only "old farts" are interested enough to put their names forwards? Gaschat has been saying for years the SC needs new YOUNGER blood,but where are they?

Refused the opportunity to run by JC and friends and now apparently overlooked by the new regime?

Easy Tiger! I don't think they have had much time to put their names forward yet!

We, or rather I, got told to do one. But I’m not that young at 40 either. The real young ones are doing things like social media and initiatives that mean something. The SC were so busy looking at the past that the future completely over took them. The FC would have been the same but you only have to look at the views on social media to see that it must be generating some revenue.

Depends, but the likes of Ash, the Gastcast crew etc, prove their are younger, capable people, who even if they arent fully able to be involved, can benefit the SC. If i were the Sc chair, the least i would do is contact the Gascast peeps and do a podcast about the team on the pitch and some stuff about the SC. Some fan engagement

As has been already said,attempts by younger people have been made and rebuffed at the first hurdle so it’s been a closed shop,by all pretences, under the leadership of JC.I speak of this being a bit of an old fart myself but I can still see this big problem still appears to be there now,but as I already said,we will see what changes will or will not happen under the new leadership and if doors will truly be open to any younger new blood.I have huge doubts.

There are talkers and there are doers..to engage you have to offer something ...bring something to the table these podcasts are limited listened to by a few but arranging fans forums and such like are more difficult to arrange.
An open forum meeting might bring forward the young blood to make a contribution.

Well the invite is clearly there.
I should imagine that there must be several under 30's single people with few family/ major work commitments who read the forum/Bristol Live.
We will have to see if they actually put themselves forward.
PS the committee/volunteers are generally busy between 1 and 3.15 on a match day, so they might have to try and meet the committee either before 1 or after the game. I believe the shop is open then.
Perhaps the SC may be allowed to write in the programme now, so this could advertise the new positions and request for new young helpers as well.
People on the forum could also help spread the word. If we want things to change, we collectively have to try.
The job advert is great - help the club, get paid nothing, spend loads on individual expenses without repayment, get periodically soaked, frozen and slagged off.
Who wouldn't want to join up!
PS I believe Phil Draper and Jim were ongoing Gold ShareScheme members (£1000 a year?). Now they are leaving the SC positions, does that mean they are no longer going to contribute?

An open forum meeting might bring forward the young blood to make a contribution. We have around 800-900 listeners on our episodes of Retro Rovers. That’s more than I’ve ever seen at an SC meeting or a fans forum. Sorry Mike but they reach more than open forums do nowadays. That said, both are useful

That said, both are useful Can the next podcast advertise Dave Thomas request for new SC volunteers? PS, genuine personal question, do Rovers make any money from the podcasts? Can the podcasts get any sponsorship revenue that can go to the academy, Gas Girls, Community Trust etc. A forum/SC AGM at the Mem does at least get money in over the bar and sometimes there is a raffle/50/50. Small fry but at least it is something. The Blue Diamond club may only be about 60 people but at least they raised a fair bit and were one of the very few social events organised at the Mem. With no Young Pirates Halloween party, I can't think of any social fundraising events apart from the £50 per head FC organised Christmas Parties. (surely overpriced and in all probability will be cancelled?)

(surely overpriced and in all probability will be cancelled?) Our pod doesn’t discuss current affairs. Our podcast gets sponsorship to cover our running costs but obviously not as much as meeting in person would generate also it doesn’t go to the club. You’ll see though that’s why I said “both are useful”

Social media can generate income when the content is interesting enough to make people click on it and watch. I quite like watching the zoom based "Fat lads go in goal" podcast. Reviews of their respective teams, invitations to opposition fans and the repective banter that goes on, beer and cider reviews, it has that pub type feel to it.
If you took something like that and added other features it could be monitised. Of course it takes time to make, film and edit content and if you use an outsourced company there is a cost, but using instagram and tiktok is a great base for the short clips which then link to youtube.
Thats why if you had a core group of under 25s in the SC who were interested enough to create something and regularly contribute then the club could earn from it.

Interesting that you said about monitised ! A good friend of mine had one of her makeup products reviewed by a "influencer" on youtube channel and her internet sales went through the roof, so it works !

One thing to have a moan, but lets have some context After all I would expect the Commercial director to take an interest at anything and everything that goes on in the stadium
