Fans forum 12th Sept

Surprised at the short notice but at least it's going to be broadcast on BRTV on Friday so that saves me having to attend, it's disappointing the VP is not attending.

I've just remembered that at the last one the owners son said TV,s were going to be installed that weekend underneath the south stand. They still havnt been installed !! Wonder what the hold up is? Must be the same hold up as the scoreboard.

They have .

Hopefully some stadium renovation news happens at this forum?

Or some hints at least.

TVs have popped up all over the place. There is one on the turnstyle for the Thatchers end and there is one on the turnstyle for the West Stand that can be viewed from the Fan Zone.

No owners - what’s the point? 3 days notice - why so short? Presubmitted questions only - really? Starting to feel uneasy?

Physical cards will be available next season ( price to be determined ) but club want to encourage everyone to go digital as they cost the club money .
We will continue to have every player back for corners as we’re not very good ( at this point) at defending set pieces.
Players need to be given time and what players we may need in Jan we don’t know yet as it’s too early to say what we’ll need.
Stadium consultations ongoing with neighbours and planning departments and club won’t rush things as they want all ducks in a row.
New plans for the quarters are exciting and Taylor and a few others have seen what’s planned, will be very good for a club at our level and fit for a championship club.
I’m sure others will add others things I’ve forgotten!

edit: they were sorry for short notice of fans forum but there were various reasons . Hope to do lots more in future on a regular basis. 
Wanted all players to live locally to Bristol but would make an exception for a Messi .

He was quite forthright when questioned on this , fair play I say as he’s the manager. If and when we improve defensively he’d then be prepared to leave a player or two upfront 

Bilonga confirmed that whilst players try not to read social media , its sometimes difficult to avoid expecially if family members like to read what is written Some players have in the past been affected by negatvity from supporters. His Mum reads all the stuff about him.

Bilonga also expressed his plaeasure at being at the Gas and that everything was hunky dorey. He smiles a lot and wants to keep Rovers fans smiling 

George Friend  explained the process of signing a player and it was alot more involved than most supporters appreciated. He also confirmed that they were at the Quarters until midnight on deadline day and they all did a whoop when they got Forde over the line at quarter to 11 .

 MT confirmed he will continue to draw all defenders back at corners simply because we need everyone back at the moment. might change when the peronnel settle down

A question was asked about looking at creative players in the January window and MT and GF both said that this was unfairl on the players we have in at the moment as it takes time to settle and it is far too early to be making judgements on how good or bad players at the moment

Explained why programmes have gone back to monthly but basically its going to be because they lose money. A lot discussed around this but not sure wjhat was agreed if anything .

Funday was discussed and basically they were trying something new and would review. It was a thursady simply because there were no sundays available.

Thats my memory all used up
