I think it would be a good idea for the SC to hold a meeting open to all supporters whether SC members or not soonish to air any issues that may/may not exist with regards our new owners/chairman and to outline any changes that may be required going forward before we all start speculating rather than knowing what's going on. UTG Good idea, BUT there is the lingering problem of leadership of SC and SC directors - who are not well-regarded by some Just for anyone's interest, I have written to the club asking for a Q & A where issues about the NEW boards' relationship with its supporters/ organisations should be high on the agenda. I guess your idea should come first Jon, but IMO I think it would be MUCH MUCH better if we had a clearing of the decks with regards to the above people otherwise I REALLY DON'T see the Supporters' Club thriving in the future. Although as you have hinted, what is the relationship going to look like is a further BIG question ?? Hmmm, sounds like you want them all to go which appears a little harsh. But I appreciate its your opinion. Fwiw I expect at least one of the fans directors to step down soon so there will be at least one opening for change

Better idea,jon,let the entire ec resign and all the volunteers do likewise together with the fans directors and those who work in the shop and hand the job over to those who know best

In the past many people have offered their services to the FC and SC and been roundly seen off. It's amazing the number of people who can appear to vote when there is a threat to the status quo...

I suspect the whole thing will change when we get a new ground with a large store . So why change now when we have a shop the size of a sauna. I think the staff and volunteers do a great job

As far as posters calling for SC EC to resign who are these volunterrs who are going to take thier place plus what happens if having taken their place they then find the garden is not as rosy as it seemed from the side lines, how long are they likely to hang around?

So...going back to the open top bus tour......
If Rovers are to have one in future should it not start at the mem and go down the Gloucester Rd ,around broadmead through the centre then end at the amphitheatre on the harbour side. Rather than touring south Gloucestershire ?
It is Bristol....rovers isn't it ?
Or have Bristol city taken full ownership of Bristol these days ??

What I'm interested in is what may have prompted a previously placid person into someone who appears to have gone on the attack. There are 2 side to every story yet many here appear to want to kick JC for his previous complicity in the old regime. Seems very odd to me that he should speak out now. Something has prompted it and I just don't buy it being all about a bus. None of this situation makes any sense.

They had a bigger role to play under the rag bag amateur set up. The new guys want to run things properly and professionally and like Tony Watola they have quickly been found out. We have the likes of the ex CEO of Wembley stadium running the show so we will be running everything properly and clearly that means less involvement or input from the egg sandwich brigade. Maybe we will even get to change the pre match play list for the first time in 20 years and get some decent entertainment down the mem.

Don't speak too soddin soon, the new boys on the bleedin block haven't delivered anything substantial yet.

It appears to me that us Gasheads and Jordanian rich banker are relating more to each than 'one of our own' JC. This isn't because he is rich but because of what they both say and the attitudes they have. We are grounded folk IMO and are not the type to bow to the wealthy but to similar grounded individuals. Even cynical fans are starting to trust Wael and believe we have a bright future, the atmosphere at the ground will tell you that. IMO JC does not reflect the attitude of the ordinary fan which is positive now and hopeful about the future. Of course we all appreciate everything the volunteers have done for many years, but now they seem out of touch and negative. It is now time for new blood, bigger minds and fresh ideas from fans who can work positively with the new owners.

All the positivity is down to one soddin thing - Promotion, and that imo is down to two things - DC and his team of triers. The new owners have only ever been here while we've been achieving on the bleedin pitch. The test comes if/when we start losing, hard to accept but bloody true.

Not all,i have gained positivity from the appointments we have made off the pitch,from the takeover it's self even if we missed out last season I would still feel a lot more positive about our future. Only time will tell.

If Donald Trump had replaced NH 99% of the fan base would have felt more positive! Whilst JC may not reflect the attitude of the ordinary fan what do we really know about what is going on behind the scenes, gentle JC speaking up after all these years of silence under NH is surprising but if BSS steps down as an FD then surely it becomes a concern? As far as the previous poster saying matters are bright as we have the ex-Wembley chief in charge don't forget he was the one lost his job after the Wembley project went £10m's, or was it £100m's over budget.

Yes I agree with the last line, but cant agree with the first. IMO the new owners have given stability and security to DC and the players by signing Locks and Browner quickly. We have always had to wait to the last moment because of limited funds before we did this in the past. I think this has edged us over the line plus the genuine belief we all have for the future.

The buzz arond tbe ground the first game after the takeover was like nothing you could describe well before promotion. A couple of weeks later the bars were painted and everyone was talking. Nothing might have been acheived but in the first couple of weeks the mood was a hell of a lot better

Some people need to listen to the Marcus Stewart interview to hear more reasons why we should be positive about things. I think some people on here are being a bit grumpy. I was very very negative about my club when Higgs and co were running things in the last few seasons - finances, relationship with supporters, the decline on the footballing side .... the list was very long. Now, I can't think of one negative about the present regime ......... they have put professionals in place, they have made small changes at the stadium, they have assisted the first team, they are looking into the infrastructure on the football side - new training ground is on the horizon, the academy facilities too............ It's what I dreamed of so I'm personally very optimistic. UTG !
