Of course he has to write to them! For your consideration between board meetings heres what I propose. Alternative wait until board meeting when its too late and get stick from everyone for not doing it sooner. ? Or pick up a phone and go allright Nick, any chance of that happy hour ? (Was what I was implying)

Seems a bit more sensible a way of ensuring a reply in time for the game. He could save time and ask him to fax over the review at the same time. :-)

the supporters bar is without doubt a very inclusive place with a diverse range of people from very different backgrounds.... it saddens me to think that people might have to think twice about a post match drink on financial grounds as affordability is part of the inclusion. i'll pay full price but it does bother me that the club could potentially be throwing a spanner in the works of a successful social meeting place.... good work brian for recognising the importance of this.... I agree in part Gregs but the club is being mean spirited to the wrong people. It galls me that we have a so called CEO in T,Watola on 80K a year yet who had not planned for relegation. We have rid the club of people like Burnsy and the bar manager yet the people who earn the most still sit and eat at the table of Rovers. The club then ask for a continued boycott of Glos rd on the posters but it makes no sense now that this battle is over. I stopped going to the pubs on Glos rd and actually enjoyed going to the clubhouse, it's more than the price of beer, it's a place to talk and discuss, even argue. It was worthwhile going with the prices cut. Once again it seems that those that count the pennies are cutting them at the wrong end of the scale. If the club want to consolidate the existing fanbase then they are sure as hell going about it A55 backwards.

(Was what I was implying) Stop making sense Dins FFS. It's not well tolerated at Rovers don't ya know. Who would have thought a director had to write to another directors, even if he is the chairman. It really does make us look and sound so very backwards but then, it is what it is and truth is that we are nowhere near where we should be on comms and PR. Brian is pi55ing into the wind and I feel sorry for him tbh. It's a thankless job

This is some kind of sick joke. There is never a happy hour after a Rovers' game.

Hi
I wanted to thank everyone who signed the petition yesterday. I shall be presenting this at the next baor meeting week on Monday.
Just some answers to a couple of questions... sorry couldn't answer earlier but travelling!
1. Yes economics - I belive you should sell at a profit otherwise the outcome speaks for itself.. but if you make the price attractive, then more people use bar and terefore you are selling more beer and your profits are higher and therefore more revenue to the club. 2. Yes there are perhaps more important issues - like winning matches and getting out of this league. However by increased profit into the overall pot keeps the club alive. It also makes the matchday experience more affordable and therefore more enjoyable for you as supporters. Best wishes Brian

Well done Brian, nice to see at least one person at the club acting in a normal fashion.

The club are asking us to spend money in the ground and then they take away the incentive. Stupid, but sums up Rovers

Stupid, but sums up Rovers Somebody on the IF said that it was Toni the Till's decision to cancel it. I guess that he was making executive decisions whilst the majority of the BoD were on their hols?

I understood you have stopped going to home games, so do you go to the clubhouse for social purposes only ??

the bar was pretty dead after the game yesterday. I've seen it quiet after a poor result or after an evening kick-off. but the place should be buzzing after a Saturday victory, which it wasn't....
keep the pressure up brian....
