I don't think Rambo would be impressed with being compared to some lad tapping away on his phone when he gets bored.

You seem to think you need to come to the rescue of a failing Board at every opportunity , don't know why though they are all big enough aren't they .

I just think someone should put the other side of the argument.
Apparently John spends a great deal of time on here too.

The other side of the argument is usually spin i'm afraid , they've had many opportunities to be truthful and honest with the FANS that saved the club , they really have surrounded themselves with yes men .

Maybe, but most of the criticism is way over the top, and, to repeat myself again, doesn't propose workable alternatives.

[CRUMBS]

Why not let's see what the EGM provides then , you should be welcoming such a move , i doubt there will be pitchforks and minders making people vote a certain way , the Board should look at every avenue it can to help get this club successful , even if some have to move on .

A good example of the fan engagement I have been on about.

They have had plenty of time to head off a lot of criticism but again have fluffed it so it is time to call them out on another lost opportunity.

I’ve watched the developments over the past eighteen months, two years or so with increasing disquiet. I posted of some of my reservations at the time and remain bewildered about the lack of engagement with business both in the town and further afield, the rejection of genuine offers of assistance and absence of dialogue.

Whilst details are still emerging, the latest faux pas - concerning the DSA this time - is another example of poor communication and appears at this moment to be indefensible.

Above all else though – and this is the worrying aspect for me – it’s naïve in the extreme. Why would you let it get to that stage? If there was a problem, pick up the `phone, meet in person and resolve it. Don’t send an e-mail with an ultimatum – that’s not what an engaged and inclusive board does, it’s the mindset of red-tape and big business, not an agile, dynamic, community-focused organisation.

Yes, but it needs proposals to discuss or it will be a waste of time.

[CRUMBS]

It could only be stage one , don't you think , a sort of see how things are and some to vent their feelings , I'm surprised the Board haven't tried it .

Apparently 6 or 7 tried that in the Yale at the last home game.
Yes things are crap atm, if changing stuff improves it I'm all for it. I'm not sure a meeting for people to vent their feelings would have a positive outcome.
