2024/25 Season Tickets
Mike Graham replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I didn’t. I immediately raised it with the Club. -
Both Duncan and I believe the supporter consultation meetings should return. We have a WATR Board meeting next week with the new Board of 14 (plus Secretary) and will reach a formal WATR view and therefore put this to the Club.

2024/25 Season Tickets

The ‘news’ that Rovers will charge ST holders to watch the u21’s is not true. The policy that ST holders enter free of charge will continue. -
Tony. This is news to WATR. Nothing discussed, nothing agreed.
-
We do not comment on individual Board members. We never have and never will. All new Board members bring skills and expertise to our Board and they are all welcomed onboard for that. Not every supporter has the same opinion on how the Club is run and how the owners operate. We need to be a ‘broad church’ - brfcs is not representative of the fan base.
-
I don’t think so. The feedback from WATR members to date has been excellent.

Glen, some excellent points as always. The invite was sent to 3,000 email addresses and at best I believe we had 165 viewing. We had 45 saying they were going to physically attend, clearly some decided to enjoy the sun with a beer in their gardens. The make up of the present Board is on the website. The process we went through this time was to ask members if they wished to stand. Those who responded were asked, via the Trust Secretary, a number of questions relating to what skills they can bring to the Board and whether they had a commitment to contribute to the Board on a voluntary basis. The Trust has not been keeping to our Rules in recent years and we now have a Compliance Lead on the Board who ensured we followed a full and proper process.; it is difficult to criticise others if we do not follow our own Rules. We had 8 existing Board members plus the Secretary; the maximum number of elected positions is 14 and it was only by chance that we had 6 (excellent) nominees. If we had more then an election would have taken place.

Non of the questions were approved. Questions were submitted on paper prior to the meeting and additional questions allowed including the somewhat bizzare one referred to by Josh.

I have just engaged solicitors to sue someone. I should have tried WR instead. -
Rovers kits 24/25 season
Mike Graham replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
A welcome change of sponsor, all the better for them being a local company run by Rovers fans. -
For information Rudy Gestede has been invited to attend our WATR AGM next Wednesday following his positive comments about fan engagement earlier this week. Rudy has accepted our invitation.

No one has fucked over WATR and no one is trying to. What a strange comment to make. -
What further proposals?

2024/25 Season Tickets
Mike Graham replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Agreed. I was not ‘celebrating’. It is a step in the right direction where we can clearly see the influence of WATR. There is a long way to go. Now Rovers need to market the offer which is another story. -
2024/25 Season Tickets
Mike Graham replied to TheRevAshton's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
The Club have clearly listened to the We Are The Rovers supporters trust and the Fans Forum. They have not gone as far as we would have wished but there are signs they have listened and acted in some areas We wanted a loyalty points scheme and we wanted an entry price for new fans in the Riverside albeit the Riverside offer structured differently. Clearly we would have wanted more but the Club is risk averse.; they would probably describe it as being careful. Positive moves…..We Are The Rovers will continue to influence. -

Thank you for your constructive advice as always, at least it was not the usual abusive tirade. I am a Hobnob man; I will ask the club to order some in for our next meeting.
