raith1974 Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 No Potter but I did say a couple of weeks ago that Potter is coming in as a coach and not director of football as expected. My understanding is Halliday is Commercial director and Barrowman is Director of football. Good news with a good mix. Colin Smart also now a board member which I believe he hasn't been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrpaddyx Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Hopefully we will get a few new players in. We currently have more Consortium members than fit subs at the moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we've got more corner flags than fit subs, to be fair. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Colin smart is/was the money man behind the deal getting over the line? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagpuss Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I've been keeping my powder dry until this was confirmed as over the line, and I'm excited now as to what the close season will bring. This should obviously help with ST renewals and hopefully we can hang onto most of the players we want to keep and supplement with other signings. Clearly time will tell if this is truly a good day for RRFC but optimism rules just now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brashy's Boots Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 If you think this is exciting, wait until you see the plans. Big LED screen on the Pratt Street facia of the main stand, anyone? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuma Power Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Great to see this over the line and looking forward to hearing what the consortium has to say. Also - for a minute I thought that was Ian Murray on the back row right in the consortium photo. Did not realise how similar he and Andy Barrowman are starting to look in their post-playing days. Huge potential for elaborate pranks and circumventing touchline bans ahead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SanStarko Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Nice to see it's finally done, looking forward to the interview when it lands later today. Hopefully the timing of this going through will encourage a few extra people to go along tonight who might have chosen to give it a miss otherwise.

SirJimmyofNic Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Finally over the line, its certainly a good mix of experienced people on board now and next season is beginning to look a lot better, albeit the expectations will now go through the roof 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverthemoon Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Positive stuff. Would rather have had MacDonald gone and this group owning the stadium not Sim but you can’t have everything. It’s as good as it was ever going to be. Onwards and hopefully upwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news and hopefully the start of some success. Hope we have a water tight agreement around the stadium with rent etc. Last thing we need is Sim going rogue and screwing us over. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't happen, but if we went off and built a new stadium he'd be left with a shitshow. For all his faults, he's a Rovers fan and an asset. He could sell it for property developers, but how long would that take to go through. The main issue is that there's no resolution yet. I'd not worry about Sim going rogue. I'd be far more worried about Sim passing away unexpectedly and then we go into a shitshow of who owns what. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CALDERON Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Happy with this, on face value it looks like a nice mix between pragmatism and ambition. As dissapointing a season as its been, I would have taken the option of 7th place with new ownership structure in place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
