It’s gone beyond a joke now , no updates given for god knows how long . Complete contempt for the fan base after raising our hopes yet again. A bit of honesty and straight talking would go a long way . All we get is silence. It’s the hope that kills you!

A slightly more upbeat statement, but also sounds like an opportunity missed and the ‘new’ committee will still be made up by a load of old farts.We will see. Prehaps it's because as you put it, only "old farts" are interested enough to put their names forwards? Gaschat has been saying for years the SC needs new YOUNGER blood,but where are they? Easy Tiger! I don't think they have had much time to put their names forward yet!

David Thomas is the new SC chairman. Not sure if that’s permanent or interim. Any idea who the 2 names are to be considered for the reps on the board? It is interesting that JC never mentioned who they were but the new Chair says that they are fans who put themselves forward..... Mind you JC also never mentioned the BRSC charge to the FA about WAQ not being 'fit and proper' I was also interested to see this bit - 'It is no secret that relations between the Football Club and the Supporters Club have soured to an unacceptable level and I will work tirelessly to put that right. I have already been in contact with senior figures at the Football Club and the early signs are promising.'

There is no action that can be taken to stop people making false accusations. They can be sued for defamation of character. If the accusation is as has been reported on GasChat I think WAQ would be well within his rights to sue JC [if it was him who made it public to the press]. However it might also be those who claimed/reported the contents of the letter on here as well as JC. Most people wouldn't know about the claim previously [as far as I am aware] as the press didn't publish the accusation. I personally didn't know about what was supposed to be in the charge until it was made public on here. A reason mods have to be very careful.

No I haven't sorry, but if you feel strongly enough about it why didn't you report it rather than whine about it on another forum? “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Edmund Burke. I've logged in over there probably twice in the last three years or so. I don't think there is the function to report posts if not logged in. I appreciate that as many others just watch from afar, however in an issue such as racism which you obviously feel strongly about surely as you have a log in it would have been simple to quickly log in and report. We appreciate every report as we cannot read every post. If you do notice something untoward please do report it. Many thanks and best regards Cheshire

As a moderator on 'the other forum' we deal with all reports of racism very seriously as soon as we receive and pick up a complaint. As moderators we simply don't have time to read every post and rely on posters to report anything that breaks forum rules or could be considered racist, homophobic etc. @ljg obviously doesn't feel that strongly about it enough to report it! Perhaps if he/she would like to report to us on the forum we can deal with it. Regards Cheshire You've never seen the phrase "fake sheikh" used?

Well the "fake sheikh" sh** went on on here for long enough and still goes on on gasheads.org. This is a disgrace but barely one step removed. Is that really true? I dip my toe in the water over there occasionally, and have never read anything approaching racism about Wael, veiled or otherwise. I have seen posts suggesting a foreign owner doesn't 'get' our history and might not be in it for the long haul. Is that what you mean?

Here's a question.... Do the SC still own any assets of BRFC that they previously raised funds for before Wael was the owner? If not then why do they feel the need to retain control of the £50k? Yes, they own approx 4% of the shares so own approx 4% of the assets of Bristol Rovers 1883 ltd Are you referring to the Share Scheme shares or do BRSC own shares in their own right? If the former the BRSC do not own them, they can't. They are held by committee members as I understand it on behalf of share scheme members.

The letter certainly contradicts a lot that has come out of the BRSC these last months. I note also that the £50k donation towards the training ground was agreed back in 2017 not a sudden demand as has been suggested by some in the BRSC -
So what is the truth?

I doubt even Henbury knows what he's talking about, he's probably just repeating the nonsense still coming out of the SC/PC? i have and never had any interest in the SC/PC ! and for the record i know nothing about financial matters other than those involved in running a successful business for 30+ years which is not a lot ! Kudos! If you have managed to survive 30 years you are doing a lot better than many I know. A lot fail in the first 5 years for a number of reasons. Fair play to you!

I am confused. I thought someone said that, that was passes sold, rather than actual members newly acquired info (and I appreciate that it could be wrong) is that it is lower i asked the question of a member. In answer to your question about Hambrook training ground, 8-10 President club members "Gave/Lent the club" a substantial amount of money from their own pockets. When the Dunfords Sold it to keep the club going no members had any money back, so you could say they saved our beloved club at that time so a few so called fans on here can complain at it Thanks for that Henbury, hope you don't mind if I quote you on the other forum, that's helpful. So let me get this right, PC members gave money (fair play to them if that is the case) and they are hailed as heroes and saviours of the club. Wael plays off Higgs and the loan sharks and like most people who invest in football clubs is guaranteed to lose money. Yet he is slagged off from Day 1 by those who enjoyed a nice lifestyle at the club under Higgs and spend their whole time slagging off the owner, club, employees etc to other fans, the media and the football authorities...... They used to call that hypocrisy back in the day. Regards Cheshire

You've started so you must finish. pass Well done wertongas, your responses actually gave some information, certainly more than others like knowall who have raved about the Presidents club but then just slag off the club, its staff, employees and owners and yet refuse to answer any questions. If 200 enter the draw and anyone can enter that would suggest the number is below 200. If you do find out the number of members and the amount they raise annually then that might go some way to mitigating the extensive criticism of the Presidents Club. Hope you enjoy your lie down in the darkened room. Regards Cheshire

Passed this morning. Nets going up - about half up already. Abbott's have 5/6 vans on site. Working adjacent to the lagoon. Also work on the apron in front of the club house. I’d be keen for a bit of RnR down the Lagoon. I wonder if they have any sand left from the pitches perhaps they could put in a beach by the lagoon. Save the players going abroad.....

Taking the pi** out of a German kid crying is down there with some of the worst aspects of English fans. On social media there has been a wave of abusive comments about that poor kid and directed at her and her family, some pretty vile. If taking the pi** out of kids because they are crying at their team losing is all we have to offer as football fans then we are totally lost. I wouldn't want someone taking the pi** out of my grandchildren if the Gas lost so don't see why German kids are any different. Celebrate England winning not taking the pi** out of little kids crying!
