I am some what concerned that some readers believe there is some element of BRISA outdoing or competing against the Fans Forum, this is not the case.
BRISA is a totally seperate organisation and will be happy for the FF to coexist. I have been an active Rovers fan for many years and did not, until last month, have any kowledge of the FF never mind how to contact FF members (who are they?) and therefore have my views heard.
I hope that the FF continues to flourish, but we must recognise that BRISA is a totally seperate organisation that hopefully will give the "ordinary" fan the opportunity to have a say via a representative organisation that will have a meaningful and informed discussion with the Club.
The positive message from the Club is that they want to meet, listen and debate issues with us on a regular basis: to be blunt there is no current BRFC fans organistion that allows the fans to have that say, and I throw out a friendly challenge to any one who can argue otherwise; BRISA intends to fill that gap rather than replace the FF.
So to those FF members out there please accept this as a warm welcome to come onboard and work with us on behalf of the fans; BRISA are more than happy to reciprocate and work with like minded fans.
