Thank you to those spporters who yesterday, drew to my attention several major issues surrounding the catering etc including the loss of the Happy Hour after the game, the sortage of pasties, the food and queues in the Bristol Room, the scoreboard Dribuild, microphone loss etc.
I have now drawn these matters to the club's attention and I hope to have these matters resolved before the next home game.
My sincere apologies for any inconvenience
best wishes
Brian

My sincere apologies for any inconvenience best wishes Brian I was not there, but it sounds like more examples of operational incompetence. First game of the season, weeks to prepare, and then? I really dont think people want to hear or read apologies, they would rather have their club managed by competent professionals. Btw, could you confirm or deny that an employee of the club told the media that the grass on the pitch was so long because, and I quote from the TV coverage, "Although I cut the grass yesterday it rained overnight and the grass grew" It make the club look stupid.

Oldie. I'm not sure if that's BSSs part of ship? The other stuff though, you are right. First game on tv, weeks to get ready and there were a number of things wrong. Bad start with the microphone too!!

Yet again the tote end clock was showing the wrong time , then it appeared someone was attempting to adjust it to the correct time remotely. With the game being shown live on the tv , you would have thought the Dribuild scoreboard would have been checked a day or so before the game, not the first time it has been faulty! The worst sin of all, the pasties in the west enclosure hut were cremated, must have been leftovers from the Mansfield game and been in the oven since then!

He has confirmed that he is a registered director at companies house with full executive responsibilities, but appears to take responsibility for nothing. He should not be saying "I will bringing these matters to the clubs attention", he should apologise on behalf of the club and commit to doing something about it and then report back on what he has actually done. The bloke is just "passing off", all that is wrong at the club brought into sharp relief.

Thank you for the update Brian, nice to see you are on the job, better than just moaning about everything.

I see Oldie is campaigning for the other guy, bit obvious mate ! I can assure you Newmarket my campaigning days are long past. But passive acceptence of incompetence and abdication of responsibility will lead us to.....oh, we are already there I dont know what you do, but I would hazard a guess that you or a director of the organisation you work for would not say to your customers "Yes it was all wrong and I will tell someone else about it"

The scoreboard was checked before the day! The old system it is running off is so old you cant get parts for it! Club cant afford to replace tbe whole system. As for the PA well that is also shockingly old!

I can assure you Oldie, even I thought Victor Meldrew was funny for one series, after that all the moaning became a bit same old same old.

I have to stand up for oldie here. He's right a director has responsibilities, some if them legal and some of them moral for want of a better word. As a director he is part of the legal entity that is bristol rovers and as liable as any if the other directors for failings at the club. It's for people like us to "bring it to the club's attention " as the supporters representative it's him we would bring it to the attention of, as the club. Just do something about it Brian. Take responsibility and get it sorted. Don't fob it off to others.

I am not moaning, although a nice attempt at deflection, just commenting on Brians reaction and apparent perception of what his responsibilities are.

As above, unless you think Brian should heat the pasties himself ?

Surely hes not directly responsible, and better to come on to social media and apologise than say nothing at all. Especially after so much focus recently has been on poor communication!

Unless BSS is Director in charge of pasties and scoreboards what else do expect him to do? You are right to complain, it sounds as if some things were very poor. Personally, the issue is more about who is responsible for what at Rovers. Brian takes all the sh** (as would Rod if he were elected) while the rest of them hide. Wasn't this raised at the SC AGM? I know it was discussed at the Welly Group meeting. Directors....just what do they do? The questions I would like to ask are these: Brian, which board member has overall responsibility for the issues raised by the OP? Could you please communicate the response of said director to the legitimate concerns raised?

Ras Its the old accountibility and responsibility point. It may well be that Brian is not directly responsible for any given example, but he is, as a director, accountable for the operations of the club in the round. That being the case I do not understand the phrase "I have now drawn these matters to the clubs attention" As if he is not directly accountable for the club he quotes. In a word, its bollox.
