Cheers fella, who else goes to the meetings? Should take 5 season ticket holders along to voicevtheir view (I know you more than likely fall into that category hence your appearances then. Is there a thread for those questions or do you kind of pluck and make note of them. Could do a question only thread with minimal discussion no digressing.

Cheers for the explanation 👍 

There are representatives from different supporters groups.

Correct me if I’m wrong @K-Hod but are the questions not vetted before hand and then answers prepped with no opportunity for follow up questions? If so, is there really much point in the fans forum? All the minutes I’ve read thus far strike me as the meetings being purely box ticking exercises

Happy to correct you here, this is not the case 😀.

There is an agenda set and agreed amongst the various groups prior to the meeting, members of the forum ask questions under any relevant agenda point.

Just to add to K-Hod's post the agenda is not vetted beforehand. I ask Forum members for anything they want on the agenda (K-Hod collects those from brfcs members) and then draw up the agenda.

I do often give some background to the club to the agenda items, but that is so that we can get a proper answer which we can then ask further questions of. If I didn't do that we would end up with us asking a question and the club saying understandably that they were not aware and needed to investigate.

Inevitably the minutes can sometimes look like we ask a question and get a reply and move on. But usually there will be more debate and I'm clearly not writing a verbatim account of everything said.

The Padded Seat

Unsure how many people here follow this account but he's in effect an influencer for hospitality packages.  Anyway, here's his preview of the new rovers offering.  He does F1 and American football etc too so quite an interesting account
