We have seen a range of appointments on the commercial side Steve Hamer, Will Dubly, Lee Atkins etc.
For me, this is gathering evidence of serious attention and investment.
The club, in my lifetime, had a poor commercial side. Well meaning sometimes, but felt more like a part time operation - a good ametuer effort as opposed to a seriously slick outfit.
These appointments mean little to me in some ways as I know knothing of the real reputations of them, or any inside track.
One thing that strikes me is that this lot come across as proper business professionals, but overwhelmingly it feels that these dudes do not come cheap. This doesn't look like a team assembled on the cheap, it looks like some pretty good money has secured the services of these individuals.
I'm really happy so far and hope that I am proved right. It's nice to see eloquent, intelligent people coming to join us.no disrespect to other club servants but if I was a gambling man, I'd wager our comercial management budget has at least quadrupled already.

Not sure we'll be quite so happy when season tickets/match day tickets jump up in price and replica shirts cost a tenner more next season? I just hoped me & the son aren't priced out of watching Rovers. |

Am I the only one who read the title and thought the thread was about team changes on Saturday?
Was ready to unload both barrels about not changing a winning team...

Edit: Season tickets frozen yet again. Best find something else to moan about |

I think we have to get out of our previous mindset of where the money is coming from and trust in the business acumen of our president and his family.
These people clearly want to build a stadium and are employing the best available to do so.

these 3 gentlemen are acting as "consultants" and are on a fee based structure which may be part of the consultancy paid by the bank owned by the family

I just hoped me & the son aren't priced out of watching Rovers. They're not idiots....so I really hope they understand (and I think they do) that Bristol Rovers is not about the money....in any sense on any level. We're about punching above our weight because of hard work and effort on and off the pitch and if you fix either or both by splashing the cash you'll lose what makes this club great.... |

Haven't we been punching below our weight for 15 years? Which is why they bought us...... |

I see your point....but what I was driving towards was it's important not to 'buy' success.....lets hope we build success (and there's an important difference there) |
