I bet he doesn't have the first idea what KAIZEN is....

'Kaizen is a concept of continuous improvement that involves all employees and processes. It is applied to various industries, such as manufacturing, healthcare, and government, and aims to eliminate waste and redundancies.'

eliminate redundancies!

I worked in an organisation that had a chairman who was a devotee of Kaizen, I always felt it was just a posh way of saying "if you do what you always do, you'll get what you have always got". The idea was to break things, no matter how well they seemed to work, and then remake them and see if there were things that could be improved along the way. I quite liked it and there were some good ideas that came out of its application.

The best example given to us I remember was the Mazda MX-5. They looked at the whole car and worked out there were 50,000 parts, they then looked at how they could make each part lighter by an average of a gram, and came out with a car that was 50KG lighter.

Dave Brailsford adapted it to cycling, I wouldn't be surprised if some of the modern coaches use aspects of it in all sports.

Ha.

Remember attending many management courses in the day. Prince 2 was a stand out as being a 365 page manual that a nuclear scientist would have difficulty understanding, which, basically could have been the size of a ladybird book describing about 5 key management ‘tools’. 

Not sure whether it was that training or something else but a stand-out for me was the idea that everyone had to turn their toilet rolls around - which I assume is a KAIZEN-type idea. Apparently, this was a mechanism for you to think ‘outside of the box’. Told the trainer that it had taken mankind thousands of years to appreciate that paper facing outwards was the most efficient way of pulling toilet paper and he was talking out of his arse.

Oddly, fresh of being bored stiff with Prince 2 for a week’s training I escaped to Guernsey for a break only to find waiting for the St Peter Port ferry I was talking to the bloke who authored the Prince manual. This was after I had told him how **** the training was!

I`m wondering why a bunch of our players and staff are following him. It can only be so they can rock up at the HPC and say `Have you seen what the knob posted last night?` and roll around laughing.

Prudent retirement planning - half of them will end up there when they’re 37.

TBF they did keep banging on about how they enjoyed it, almost like it was their choice.
8 years of being in the Football League has obviously got them big headed, about teams they were rubbing shoulders with a few short years ago.

They don't care who they get in the first two rounds. Just desperate to draw us in round three...

Would we want to play them , all for us to lose , if we did get to play them at the gate they would probably get the whole Atyeo 4,800 deluded gas heads where our home form ain’t great play them at the swamp , no doubt we would have all of the new stand ( opps hang on ) probably get 1,000 tops

I’d like City to get Rovers in the third round, if they get far, as we could all give Joey Barton the welcome he deserves

Absolutely right. If we win it would be all about plucky little r*vers and they`d do their best to kick lumps out of our players. If, God forbid, they did scab a win we`d never hear the last of it.

Personally I`d be happy if we never played them again.

as it stands,our last game against them had them beaten by a goal i never want to forget. as long as it remains our last game against them,that goal will forever get replayed so its a no thanks from me

  • Property Natter - Bristol suburb and a stadium home grab ?

Property Natter - Prime suspects in a same-day delivery world

We want to buy your house and we'll pay whatever you like -  it sounds like a dream come true but it's rumored to be happening in Horfield, Bristol.

Notes pushed through letterboxes late at night is the preferred method of communication for a property investment vehicle which seems determined to purchase a number of homes adjoining a sports stadium in North Bristol. One recipient Mr Kenneth Pratt, who did not wish to be named, said the sums involved are astronomical and way above what our June got for her semi last year. We tried to get some local insight by pulling strings with the CEO of Bristol Estate Agents Association Ms Elsie Curtain but she refused to be drawn. Acquiring neighboring properties would certainly smooth the way for expansion of the stadium but prices in the area are already high and tens of millions would be required if this is indeed what is intended. Unfortunately we were unable to obtain a comment from Mr Alfred Seed the mysterious owner of the offshore truss which supports Bristol Rovers.

Its ridiculous, but we don't make the top ten with an average of 22,336.

Some great averages in this division https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/championship/attendances

Rovers are 14th with 7,815 https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/league-one/attendances fantastic support :clapping:

Around a 1000 less than Oxford, another team with a three sided ground. Behind Port Vale another club with a more successful neighbour in their city.

If you were a fan of a football club that had been recently seen new owners take a majority of shares, and a month or so down the line you hadn't seen them comment, be interviewed or share any vision for the future, would you be concerned?

 

 

Yes indeed.

Though they have seemed perfectly happy with radio silence from Wael since things ceased to go his way so this is just more if the same.

We have become so accustomed to our owner setting out development plans and transfer strategy, even if we're not always happy with it, that we have begun to see this kind of openness as the norm.

It's a good point that the Rovers owners are doing a full blown secret squirrel on their fans, yet they seem perfectly happy with that.

Plus half their side are our ex players, and we all know that cliche goes

There is a lot of truth in fans getting the club they deserve - not always, but often.

Their collective apathy towards things, and in the event of someone raising a concern they are immediately shouted down, called a 'gert Ted' and told to 'eff off to Trashton' is one of the  biggest issues they face.

They don't hold anyone accountable almost to a point that people are scared to use their Forums to speak out. And if they do, they must have an 'anti-Rovers' agenda.

The fans hold the club back just as much as the stadium/manager/champioinship ready sprinklers do.

Poor old Lee Johnson has gone from managing Sunderland with attendances of 40k ish to Fleetwood with attendances under 5k. It's a downward trend. Manor Farm soon. I’m sure the Farmy Army will welcome him with open arms.

Ragass Rovers would love a stand like the main stand at Chelmsford. Not a pillar in sight.

After seeing this I had a look at their stadium on a football ground guide website. One comment was: 

“The main drawback to spectators in this stand as you would expect at an athletics stadium, is that the stand is set well back from the playing action….”

For Rovers this would be an advantage as, ideally, if you’re watching them you would want to be as far away as possible.

My "second club" as I lived there for years and my kids were born there.

The club played at New Writtle Street and had a proper stadium with covered stands on three sides, average gates of around 2-3k in the Southern League, record crowd of 16k back in the day. Then, as often happens, new owner sold the ground and it now has houses on it. Club were forced to share Billericays ground for some time until they rented the current stadium from the council.

Big non-league side, more than capable of operating in the football league if they had a proper stadium.

Hope they get to play Ragass Rovers.

The current ground is ok for where they are now. Looks good when you look at the stand , but the other side does scream Council owned. Popped up there last year.

Doesn't matter, it's Whitby.       Got a nice sound to it........... a sort of Sutton, Hayes or Hitchiney sound to it !

Northern Premier League, Step 3 instead of Step 2 for Chelmsford, so bigger potential embarassment. Decent away record too.........
