Fans Forum/Roverstore/Commercial Chat

[JHRover]

I think a question should be raised at the next Forum meeting as to what the difference is between a Fans Forum meeting and a Supporters Consultation meeting. 

There is a difference because the former have taken place at Rovers going back decades, whereas the latter were introduced a few years ago following measures introduced by the EFL, took place for a couple of years with Tony Mowbray turning up with tales of life in 70s Teesside, and then as with Shareholder meetings were ditched during the Covid era under the guise of 'safety' and neither have been held or even mentioned since.

Perhaps Pasha, Sufi or Talbot could explain why the club decided not to resume those meetings after Covid. 

That's because the shysters spotted an opportunity, as they often do, to save time and money and save themselves a job by cutting those meetings and lumping everything into one with the Fans Forum

isn't the fans forum made up of people representing different groups and asking questions to people from Rovers?

By accident rather than by design. It doesn’t replicate the open forum format, which is what happens with supporter consultation.

Maybe so but different members represent different groups. We can still ask questions through those members and get answers we want. Might not be answer we like but its on the record

Have you been an open supporters meeting at Rovers?

I have. I’ve also been to Fans Forum meetings. They are completely different formats.
