Yeah that's fine, it's a private business they can do what they want and I wouldn't have a problem with that in the slightest. It's just the 'abuse' connected with potential legal ramifications that I'm bothered about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are probably better forums too. Well, there would be if they hadn't been banned yet by those pesky liberal elites. Freedom to voice an opinion without legal ramifications = weird fringe politics. Riiiight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Ram Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 We really need to be careful who we vote in they're representing the board and us all we've seen posts along the lines of 'the lads need team bonding id tell mel to book them in for a massive game of swingball' or they all need to go to a lemon party We really have some herberts on here that probably cant be trusted. we need someone thats not cosying up & willing to ask questions. Maybe just the same two go but a month before we all submit our questions on here a month before the meeting and the ten best get asked regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Like any successful business fans need a figure head, a few (say 4) in a sub team and then the minions. Minions feed into sub team. Sub team meet with figurehead. Figurehead and maybe 2 of subteam meet with club. At work i dont want a thousand voices just a few. I can then decipher whats relevant and what is not. I then have feedback and also the automany to then reflect the views of many and my own "drawing it together to make it succinct' to present to my boss. Too many cooks leads to jumbled up msg.

I think 12 months is about right. On the female issue (and I am clearly one) I am a bit ambivalent. If we are about 20% of fan base ? then you've got to hope that is reflected naturally across the groups nominating representatives. Only if it isn't then it would need to be considered over time. We are probably a lot less than 20% on here - unless we just don't say much - so to ask for a female rep would be a bit unfair. What about every other minority group? You could end up with the cartoon female gay black disabled elder! Has that offended everybody?! The two or three people I find most in line with my own views about the football and club on here are all men anyway. I 'd vote for one of them. Finally, there is obviously some overlap between groups so it would be very helpful to know where that is. From his post it seems @Woodypecker was there last night - but not easy to guess in what capacity. Good post. Level headed, logical. Are you really a female?

Srg Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 13 pages before I'd even seen this thread. Couple of amusing things... when we all had to introduce ourselves Roy McFarland said "I'm Roy, if you don't know who I am then I don't know why you're here." Michael Johnson also had funny take on Robbie Savage's closing down, saying he hated him for leaving huge gaps. Johnno also said he doesn't mind booing, said it motivated him but also understands how it could effect others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex W Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 I like to imagine I'm a good a good choice to put myself forward for opinions but I really don't post enough these days to warrant inclusion as a forum member. I think that 4-6 months is a better meeting time as there may be committee suggestions that need monitoring throughout a season for feedback. For example when Nick and the guys requested the crowd seating arrangements change, catering changes, explanations of general club infrastructure changes when it comes to philosophy etc. So a meeting at the season's beginning, middle in January and end of season/before pre-season seems a good way to go. I think 2-3 members a time is a good idea as well as trying to vary the ages included. My needs are different to an old codger like @Boycie for example. Different opinions also useful, there'd be little point in my going with @Alpha for example as I agree with almost everything he posts, to the point where if he posts then often I'd just be repeating so don't bother. It would be a waste of a spot at the forum. So trying to manage that kind of thing too seems like a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 To be honest, I struggle to see what the club can learn from these meetings that they couldn't glean from reading the forum, which we know they do. Fair enough with some of the other groups involved, whose opinions may be harder to gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howard Canitbé Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Off topic, but: What is 'Stand Next To Me'? As I'm not a regular match-goer, I haven't a clue, although I assume it's the name of a chant. Would appreciate a video although text along the lines of "stand next to me nanananananadadadadadadananananana" will probably do, I can imagine the rest.
