He has point though, Luke, although his agenda is clearly not the same as yours.

Things are great - vote of confidence for the board?
Remove the chairman (or some of the board) ?
And / or change the constitution?
Instruct the board to immediately put up to 50% for sales
As above but 100%!!!

If you could gauge where you were likely to get a broad consensuses you could then get a couple of short and to the point resolutions that would stand a decent chance of going through. Why not try a poll covering the above categories?

Still waiting for you or Quay red or anybody for that matter to put forward their proposals. Must be taking a long time to compile. Or maybe you just don't have any; wouldn't that be classed too as an 'empty response'.

Post them up when you have them or even send them into the email address provided as they have asked for with every communication.

On this subject, I haven't got a particular agenda.
I generally support the club as a whole but was concerned about the appointment of Keates.

Remove the chairman. Officially we haven't got one.
One way forward might be to change the constitution to elect an independent chairperson. Would need the hide of a Rhino, diplomatic skills and a background akin to Mother Teresa. Even then he'd be the fall guy.

Funny that we haven't seen any proposals from the biggest mouth on here.

Not really because I'm not the one criticising those put forward though am I? Which is all you've done without offering your alternatives. So lets have them. Or are you just going to resort to outing people on here again like the last time?

If you don't back the EGM you must be John Mills or bloody mental.

See above, response to eosceiriog.
I have offered suggestions as to the way forward for the petitioners to enable them to gain the necessary support. ie. Provide concise resolutions.
On the basis that around 3 to 400 participate in voting on any resolution, a change would require support from 225 to 300 votes.

"The newly elected Board (after each AGM and not merely the first AGM) shall meet to select from amongst themselves a Chairman".

The above is from WST governance documents but frankly I don't care if official or not.

Is there another way we can remove the board? How about taking them to court? Didn't FC United do this?

I hate to be seen as a trouble maker, but after seeing 70% of our games this season, I feel that we are not going to escape the bottom (without radical surgery). With no choice left, I have had to declare my hand and try to get an EGM rolling. Just how many on RP are Trust members? If you share my views on pitch/playing matters, I cannot see why you wouldn’t do likewise.
We have to do all we can as fans/part owners to halt this free fall decline of our club. As my lad says “Grow some, and ask for an EGM” !
