The club needs to explain exactly why someone representing a significant shareholding PAID FOR BY THE FANS has been excluded from meetings, communications and contact with other Directors for so long.
Would you trust Guy Fawkes?
Exactly.
Yes i would

is telling your mates what happens in confidential board meeting not wrong? Seems justified to ban someone if they are leaking things personally wouldn't really call that a dictatorship. Also why would you only speak out now if you’d been wronged all this time... are people bitter that they can’t have information leaked to them anymore or something the leaks dried up once he wasn’t allowed in anymore funnily enough
Ken Masters represents the Supporters Club who ran a share scheme to inject money into the club for quite frankly a derisory 8% stake considering the money invested. That’s invested, note, and not loaned by way of Equity Release like the ALQs have done other than what they paid for the Shares from Higgs and Co.
So, anyway Masters represents those of us that put money into the club via this scheme. His duty is to the supporters and it his his duty to report to the SC executive what goes on in Board Meetings. He and they will be bound by confidentiality but that shouldn’t stop them from challenging the owners.
It is sad and unsatisfactory that the person who represents us the fans has felt the need to resign, he might not be whiter than white in always keeping hold of his frustrations and that might have given the dictator all the reason he needed to get rid of any supporters reps from the Board asking questions he doesn’t want to answer. We are lucky to have a rep on the Board in the first place of course, it’s not normal at most clubs, and only happened because of the need for cash in the Dunford days.
Whether you like Ken Masters as a person or not, supporters should be very concerned about how the relationship has deteriorated and the reasons for that. Slagging Ken Masters off and being blind to the real underlying cause of this breakdown is exactly what the dictator wants you to do. The dictator let’s not forget who has fallen out already with so many people who have worked for the club or with the club and failed to deliver anything he promised.
People seem to forget BSS resigned a while back because he felt the role was just a token role ,i spose the writing was on the wall then. who knows i feel it would be good to have BSS let the reasons over his departure be known as enough time has passed. I also felt it strange that BSS was never replaced as it's my understanding that 2 sc directors were meant to serve

Wasn’t masters leaking stuff from boardroom meetings to his mates? Surely that’s enough to warrant him not being trusted? Looks to me like he wasn’t going to win his court case against the club and is trying to save face.
I seem to recall a long while back something about an email ken sent to someone knowing the contents would be bought up on the forums(not just this un but tudder uns too), i think it caused a bit of a hoo haa here, maybe related to that in some way. The thing is ken either needs to come out and tell it like it was and give the owner a chance to give the clubs side, but i think we will colonise pluto before that will happen.
The bit that stands out for me is the statement that "I was told the reasons were confidential with no further explanation given". That in itself is a strange statement from the club, surely in this day and age those types of thing are illegal, i'm sure someone who knows this type of stuff will let us know if it's legal or illegal.

So we have an owner behaving like a despot dictator who dispenses with anyone who challenges him. Of course the SC are right not to trust anyone who behaves in that way and the fans should be onside with that rather than on the side of the despot dictator.
Supporters should never blindly trust any owners, they should always try and hold them to account and stop them from behaving recklessly with the club. Supporters are for ever, owners most definitely are not!
I'm not his biggest fan however despot dictator is a tad strong fella ,he ain't quite lenin, stalin, mao or pol pol is he

A bit of light relief. For those aircraft buffs on here i watched this video yesterday all i heard was an A10 warthog firing a quick burst, wend laughed at the trump, i laughed as it sounded just like a tankbuster. guy needs a slap though as imagine having to use that handset
Morning everyone. Just thought I'd post something positive. Sort of. Had to go shopping this morning, Sainsburys (yes, I know). Wasn't looking forward to the queues, the fighting over the last packet of Penne, the being pushed out of the way etc. However, was there by 9am, grabbed a trolley and stood in line behind 20 or so to get in. Thought I was going to be there for ages but nope. 5 minutes and we are inside. It was really quiet. Not many people in there. Everyone kept their distance, were polite, and every shelf was stocked. Toilet rolls, fresh fruit and veg, milk, bread, canned stuff etc and I've never seen so many cans of Lager in my entire life. Tills were great, I was in and out of there in 30 minutes with everything I wanted.
I then nipped across to Iceland. Was even better. Considering it's one of their bigger stores, there were 4 of us in there, and again, shelves and freezers were all stocked.
I was out and back home within an hour. I guess the panic buying idiots have realised there's no point and it's pretty much back to normal.
Bags i mentioned Tesco golden hill was the same yesterday ,Which store did you goto not worried about sainsburys more the iceland store,

As this virus is in terms Corona family the same as flu it's likely immunity will be relatively short lived,say 6-12 months as is the same with flu. Hence a vaccine is critical and I can see this being another annual vaccine that Will be rolled out every year.
Clinical trials beginning now on treatment at least. Mixture of anti viral, steroids and the antimalarial youd have heard about.
Is it correct that test kits are going to be available at a price from the likes of boots ,or did that option not get followed through.
I read somewhere that the drug under trial also contains the aids wonder drug

Come on Antonio. Ice was only replying to my post and to be fair he has a point. I think you'll find that HM Government aren't very happy with the Chinese, and probably with good cause. You can never trust a totalitarian regime, and some of their actions, if carried out by any other country, would be roundly condemned. I'm thinking about the annexation of Tibet, their treatment of Chinese Muslims, treatment of animals in their markets, running people over with tanks, etc etc. Just because they have yellow skin and are Asian doesn't mean you have to defend them blindly and accuse anyone with a different view as being, and I quote "Far right, thoughtless nasty little sh**"
Weve moved on from being able to shut down any discussion by crying 'Racist' and I think you ought to apologise.
Well, obviously the Chinese regime is sh** I'm not defending them, but 'they live like animals' is sh**. The idea that they engineered the virus for economic war is pretty fantastic, and obviously needs more than a stupid whim to back it up. Also if you're conflating the people with the regime, that doesn't make any sense. Either people are living like animals and they caused the virus accidentally, or the regime engineered it on purpose. Not both. Think about it. If you're trying both, it just looks like you're just throwing mindless sh** hoping some of it sticks.
Also however much they tried to cover it up, we still had several months warning where we did absolutely nothing except watch it on telly. So the cover up was clearly not the cause of our lack of preparedness.
I never mentioned anything about racism, but this is like the fourth time you've brought it up for no reason. You're obsessed. I mentioned far right coz the far right forums are a hotbed of stupid conspiracy theories, like the Chinese govt did it on purpose.
Simply put an awful lot of diseases tend to originate there, for every conspiracy theory on the right there is an equal number on the left. As for countries not releasing viruses on their peoples, you just have to look at the Tuskegee experiments, also look at the mod experimenting on our own troops in the past. The point being many countries experiment with their people ,this only comes out at a later date, History is full of examples of countries not caring about their own people, take russia as an example troops could be 10 ranks deep during ww2 with only the first 2 or 3 ranks armed if they died their weapon was picked up byu the unarmed rank. Look at the numbers of Chinese killed by mao it' not too much of a stretch to wonder if this virus was used to cull the population and then got a tad out of hand Lastly saying they live like animals ,has been said by both left and right, the vast majority take that to refer to the way and what they eat

I know i had to read it a few time to get what was going on, Though it was brill the way it was slipped in there and kinda only a couple picked up on it and commented
Probably the biggest bit of Rovers news, ownership wise, for sometime and hardly anyone commented!
Exactly i can't for the life of me figure out if they were actually appointed and then removed ,in which case surely they would appear on companies house, or if they were going to be appointed and then either jumped or were pushed. Only time will tell

Managed to get out of the house today last went out a couple of months back, Had no choice ran out of main foods, knew today was coming so been trying to make it easy, got about an hours sleep last night ,got the dire ills ,shakes etc .Managed to get out of the door normally i tend to get panic attacks just leaving the house. Was a bit easier as hardly anyone about, for the most part , Got up towards the common and there they were a small group of friends lazing around on the grass,(total feckwittery i tell ee) . Finally made it to tesco at golden hill, looks i got when i put me latex gloves on, people were looking as if i was daft (thats another story ). Went in the store people mainly stayed distant,a few strayed too close so a quick feck off or wanna go outside sorted it, this is why i cant cope outside alone i tend to either get absolutely drunk or go into an aggressive attack mode, think of it what you will but dealing with that level of anxiety and panic is not fun. Wend copes slightly better than i, any how got everything we needed even some bog roll ,which has saved me hunting down those bloody koala bears.
The store was much calmer than on a normal day, until we hit the checkouts, a staff member came up and said something to wend, Wend went into panic mode i went into protect mode and felt the dread and panic rising, i had to ask a few times what the staff member said as i don't hear too well so she kinda retreated and got on the radio. Another member of staff came up and said sorry but the queue is in isle 13. We both cant deal with the number 13 as that is the day we lost Ann Marie Irene, so we have a total mental block on that number. I tried as best i could to explain this. The staff lady said no probs see that bloke in the black jacket you are after him stay put and i will come and get you, which is what happened
A few things to come out of this Tesco golden hill has a fair bit of stock with few restrictions as long as you are sensible, The supervisors will help those with mental or physical issues, I know a few on here are in the same boat mentally as me n wend and i hope this post allows them to at least get to the shops in an emergency situation. The check out staff there and the floor staff have no ppe so please be mindfull and keep a respectable distance.
I would also like to thank publicly all those people at work to ensure we can get some food, i know we all thank the nhs staff fot thier dedication but most tend to forget those in retail who have no ppe and ensure we can get by. theresa quite a few on here you know who you are and i say thank you from the depthss of my heart, i just hope you bosses reward you guys n gals Thank you
Forgot to mention i haven't had any pain meds for a while, tramadols for day and night and amother for night time, waddled all the way there but wanted to crawl home, need to get to vet to get some elbow injections as at least that will be a small relief
Cheers Inee (I hope all his well with you?), you couldn't make that thread up, some major news apparently get leaks but all 2 posters are interested, one who also regularly post on ere under a different name, BB, are only interested in point scoring against each other rather than commenting on the leak. I see the ex DIrector has now suggested it was two local businessmen.

Grown up. With kids of their own. I also have a wife, who`s been told to self isolate for the foreseeable future, because of the severity of the asthma that she suffers. And a mother who`s self isolated for a couple of years now, not because of a virus, but because she`s too frail to leave the house. So, if you`re implying that the reason I`m able to maintain a life without fixating on this outbreak, is because I have no one to worry about or care for, you`re as wrong about that as you are about everything else.
Yes, I have two grown up kids with kids of their own. We talk and try find the humour, where it exists. The thing I am concerned about most is the future for the grandkids. In the States I have one who has been sent home from Uni, in the last semester of year 2, a 17 year old about to sit his SATs and a 13 year old. I worry about the impact on their education and prospects thereafter. In Singapore I have twin girls as grandchildren but they are under 2 and therefore those concerns will not apply. So I agree with you, and others, that this constant updating, the style of which goes between self flagellation and hero worship, is over played and becoming tedious. The thing we should be thinking about is those that will live the next half century plus after this.
Hopefully the older ones will pick up where they left off, surely though they could have a lecture or two a day via laptop or pc ,just hope they keep studying under their own steam whilst lockdown continues, although looking at the amount of ejits walking around kids over here should do some extra learning rather than walking around with friends, why do some seem to not understand stay away from others.
The daily release of figures is ok but only if they are accurate, I posted a few pages back about figures being distorted by those who have died in isolation ,only to hear that the only death that were counted were hospital deaths, i mean unbelievable either get it as accurate as possible or don't bother. As i feel if theres a sudden mass rise in numbers to include those not previously counted then that could push more than a few people over the edge.
