So its now unequivocal BRFC has apparently given its seal approval to Mr flip-flop himself and his "tory scum" hating band-wagon, not sure why the club would let any politicians during an election into the MEM ? personally I am just flabbergasted, why the club thought inviting and putting yet another unnecessary wedge between the fanbase would be a good idea, hmm. Imo please keep politics "from all parties" out of football.

How have the club put a wedge between fans ? I suspect that divide existed long before Starmer came to the ground ? Most of the posts here are clearly from people with strong political views already. You are clearly more upset by a visit from Starmer than you would be if Sunak had shown up. Don't think anyone who strongly supports the Conservatives is going to change their view and vote Labour as a result of a visit to the Mem.
Football clearly has problems and both Labour and Conservatives are in agreement it needs political intervention to sort out - so whether we like it our not politics is already playing a part in football.

In all seriousness is there really any need for digs, when they haven't gone down that way at all, because next you will accuse them of always going on about Barton. |

Dissing my dig whilst getting a dig in yourself. Nice work. 🤣 |

Just for clarity Thingabyjig Debbiair is a sitting Labour MP for Bristol. She will almost certainly be after the General Election She has been supportive of Rovers recently, long before the election was called. Lets keep her onside Her "current role" is Shadow Sports Minister, hence one assumes her interest in Rovers although the stadium is not in her constituency. Will she, won't she be the Sports Minister in a Labour Government assuming they win the General Election? Having the potential future Prime Minister and Sports Minister visit your club is a massive bonus in terms of profile but IMO they were set up thinking the reason was to promote football and Rovers aspirations on and off the pitch The real reason for the visit was the PR stunt to print out the Election propaganda slogan on the Rovers shirt. absolutely nothing to do with football. Would be interesting if TG (or others) agreed to the shirt printing in advance in the belief it would help the club in Planning matters or not? Were the Gas stitched up in the spur of the moment ? Regarding Planning for the stadium it's planning law that gets things approved or not, not an individual MP According to the latest bookies odds she's got no chance of being re-elected, so she's not going to be the next Sports Minster as things stand: www.oddschecker.com/politics/uk-constituencies/next-uk-general-election-constituencies/bristol-central |

Even that would be a stretch for that poster as he (Matt Taylor) is in Crete at the moment. 🇬🇷🏴☠️ |

Lots of Politicians at lots of footy clubs during their campaigns.The PM spent some time at Stafford Rangers.Doesn't mean they have a political bias,simply that it was an ideal venue for a crowd too big for the town Hall and think they made a few quid on the catering.

Which is totally different than Rovers local MP using the club to desperately try and get extra votes to beat her opponent from the Green Party? It seems pretty clear that somebody at Rovers is hoping the present Labour MP beats her opponent from the Green Party. |
