Try the Butter Chicken Curry - it is lovely. They sell it in the JW.

WTF 🤬 Sammy Szmodics out due to being fatigued. He has looked knackered for the last few games.

Yes I know the figures. Those attending the MoU meetings are privy to some confidential information. The first time we breech confidentiality will probably be the last time financial and other information is meaningfully shared and the Trust will lose our credibility.

At their peril. In my opinion it will not be totally ignored.

Email him and go and talk to him. I am not a spokesperson for the Club. However I do have a lot of time and respect for him.

Speak to fans of any club and it is our job to take issues, ideas and proposals to owners, CEO’s, MD’s and FD’s. If we did not we would inviting disaster. The Trust has a responsibility to take up issues on behalf of our present and future fanbase.

Very good points. The Trust wants a long term relationship with the club based on a long term plan. We have to start from somewhere and to be honest the bar is pretty low at the moment. They seem prepared to listen so the door has been opened, but we need to also prove they can trust us.

As a (now retired) National senior trade union official I can spot and smell bullshit a mile off, sorry 5 miles off. Fraser is not one of them. However you will make your own minds up.

Thanks Gav. If the Trust did not engage (along with the fantastic support of brfcs, RoversChat, Her Game Too, Proud Rovers, and South Asian Supporters*) we would probably have been looking at a miserable 11,500 gate. * btw this is a powerful coalition we are building

Yes. The challenge is that the owners set financial targets for sales so we may have focus more on the structure and options of the ST offer. One of our Supporters Trust Board members has already made a presentation to the Club and we will have further discussions. If you have any ideas please send them to enquiries@roverstrust.co.uk or post on brfcs under the Trust thread.

It is looking like 16.5k to 17k. I had hoped for a few more but this is still a fantastic achievement thanks to the Supporters Trust and the coalition of fans groups, brfcs and of course the Club. The joint working with the Club, fans groups and the Community Trust is something to build on. The Club have welcomed our ideas and involvement. We need to take this further and look at how we can influence future ST pricing and options.

Sorry but I don’t understand the above. Good try gents but I am not going to get sucked into what will be a tit for tat argument; I had enough of that in my working life to waste my energy on it. I sincerely suggest you try and engage with the Club. This Saturday is a good example of that.

So guys you are having a go at me now. Lovely stuff.

Thank you Simon. I stand by my comments. Try engaging with the guy.

There are no staff cuts planned due to this. Rovers receive financial incentives from the EFL.

A massive communications improvement: https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2023/december/20/additional-support-ahead-of-digital-day/ The ‘technical issue’ between the Rovers and Cambridge systems is that CUFC are not with Ticketmaster.

Just over 4k home tickets sold and just over 1k away tickets sold. That takes us to around 14,500. I was always looking at around 18k.

Local Brindle based Rovers historian Steve Williams is making one of his excellent talks at Blackburn Library in February. For those who have heard Steve present before you will know you will be in for in excellent evening. This is sponsored by We Are The Rovers - the Rovers Supporters Trust. Free entry.

😂😂😂

I have met Fraser plenty of times, never over a brew nor biscuits, and I am confident from what I have seen and heard that he is bloody good at his job. It may not be popular but I am prepared to stand up for, and stand by people who have the Club and fans at heart. We could do with a few more like Fraser at Ewood.

Watford are hiting some good form.

How many fouls against us have not been given? Dreadful refereeing.

Saints TV have twice referred to us as Bristol Rovers 😂😂😂

Game over. We will be lucky to keep this under 4-0
