Promotion as champions or runners up? Open top bus tour
Promotion as playoff winners (there's a cup) I open top bus tour.
Promotion in third place? I no open top bus tour as it looks a bit desperate. Them's the rules.

Do the SC not realise that we are saving pennies to build a world class stadium? The cost of bus travel in Bristol is shocking and would put a huge dent in finances. Plus the treatment buses got on the glos road a few weeks back has probably blacklisted us with first bus. All hail wael!

Well I'm glad the SC are piping up now, when we REALLY have something to moan about.
Top work everyone.

He should f**k off as far away from our club as possible in my opinion. Did and said nothing as the old regime almost killed us and now moaning at the best thing to happen to the club in my lifetime. BRSC out of touch, out of order and out of date. He has every right to express his opinion. You know absolutely nothing of what went on behind the scenes. I suspect he probably represents more in the way of popular support than you do. So why don't you f**k off. Oh hang on, that would be rude. The supporters club are stuck in the 70's and were an utter disgrace in not standing up to the cancer that was killing BRFC. Every decent fan initiative that has taken place in the last few years has been independently driven by creative and forward looking people. Gaschat / Gas Cast / Gas Prints / the fanzine, most of the clothing and items for sale. The supporters club still do chicken in basket cabaret nights and flog 50/50 tickets. Their volunteering should be applauded but this latest rant is pathetic. High time they handed the reigns over to the new generation imo and an independant supporters group that sticks up for the club not Nick Higgs.

I also thought it was strange that there wasn't a bus tour , after all going up automatically is a far better result than going up through the playoffs. So are you now going to swear at me? You also you might also think of the youngsters that come on here and read comments like yours. Just a thought

Skimmed through the thread so apologies for any misreading of the situation.....so my load of tosh opinion is... A) was the sc chairman speaking on behalf of himself or as a representative of the supporters club members ? In the former he may say what he likes (so long as he doesn't title his writing/spoken word as being sc chairman) in the latter he should phrase all communications in a manner that represents the views of the paying members. B) In the new era where money raising is not a major issue for the club ,the sc might be struggling to see its relevance and position,its aims short term and long term.
The sc board members are there to reflect fans views to the other board members and to highlight routes that might be dangerous for the clubs future. To be the long term thinking not the glory today thinking.
So ,in my tosh opinion the sc needs the discussion of what it's role is for the next five to ten years.
Do people buy 50/50 draw tickets because..... A) they want to give money to the club and the off chance of winning a prize is fun. B) they are fully behind a named cause and the prize is irrelevant. C) they like a bit of a fun gamble as the main reason buts it's good it helps the club too. D) they like a gamble and don't think further than that. E) another reason.(please specify)
Could things like draws be used to pay for away coaches for example for sc members ? As an example. Basically using the money to benefit the fans rather than the club ? Your thoughts ...

Not going to read it, it'll just p!ss me off. This is the person who told the media Gasheads didn't want to go to the Derby because it was too violent/scary! He supposedly represents the supporters? I don't think so! Get rid of him, or I don't want anything to do with the ''Supporters Club''. UTG! spot on, these guys represent the old way, the sh**e way. Lets get some guys involved with 21st century knowhow.

Spot on, all of this was allowed to go on unquestioned by the Supporters Club and our Fans Directors, no open top bus though and a public display of criticism towards the Chairman. Hypocrisy. I have to say that its pretty difficult to disagree with this. It's somewhat ironic that now the SC have been given freedom to speak freely, they use it to turn on those that set them free from the oppression of the old regime. Whilst I understand the frustration felt by those who give their time freely to support the club I'm not sure a bus parade for finding 3rd is the most pressing matter.I'm more interested in whether our Fans Directors are now more welcome, active and informed. Is there a Plan A. (B,C.....etc) Will the SC and other fans groups continue to apply the same amount of pressure and accountability to the New Owners. Heaven knows Nick Higgs made mistakes, but in my humble opinion so did we in allowing it to go on unchallenged. The team that got us promotion WAS Nicks squad and Nicks manager. That has to be acknowledged. Would we have done it without the boost of new owners? Who knows? Finally, I would say that I hope this is an indication that the SC have finally got some balls and are going to be a proper independent supporters group. One that is willing to challenge the owners and raise issues vocally and publicly. That's a SC I feel I could rejoin. I hope it's not personal and driven by a feud with the Chairman. Yes, the SC should have stood up before instead of being a lap dog to prop up the board but we can't now criticize them for becoming what they should have been all along. Personally the jury is still out for me on the new owners and so it seems on the new SC. However, while I don't agree with Jim on this one I'm glad he is finally speaking out. And yet we have had 2 bus tours for finishing 4th

How about an open bus tour for Jim Chapple, Nick Higgs, Barry Bradshaw and the supporters directors. After all they are the reasons for everything good that has happened to our club. They can parade the 2015 accounts on a giant billboard along with the watertight sainsburys contract

Funny. I never hear any critism from the SC when we are in melt down and a laughing stock and as soon as we have some success they start jabbing at elements if the club and support the old owner. please step down Mr chappell

Nick Higgs considered it to be his team? Is this a joke? Well what regular first team player did we sign when the new owners came in? I'm sorry did he scout these players and go to Darrell with his recommendations? Did he train them every day? Did he pick the team and change things if he thought it wasn't working?

I hope NH is just as willing to admit he's the one who took us from L1 to the Conference.

The new guys BOUGHT the team it is the team of the new owners, they did not find them or the manager but the wallet bought and own them. We need to remember such things for the future. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

You also you might also think of the youngsters that come on here and read comments like yours. Just a thought Because this place is so appropriate for kids!

Just a thought To be fair to Dinsdale this appeared around 11pm during a pretty quiet time on here so it certainly put a cat amongst the pigeons. The more you read it imo it seems like there are veiled digs at various things throughout from a man who said nothing to challenge the previous regime when the club was clearly heading over the edge of a cliff.
