Billy Reid Fan Club Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I wonder if the club will provide highlights of last nights AGM, it would be the best highlights of the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haufdaft Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Still next to nothing on here about the AGM.Was everyone in attendance sworn to secrecy?God forbid if fans other than the 40/50 max in attendance know what's happening with our club. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Only one David Marsh Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I don't think club internals being posted on a public forum for everyone to see is a great idea. Maybe they can be posted on the website forum but I certainly won't be posting anything here about the agm. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are only 40/50 fans to know?Why should season ticket holder, paying fans etc not know what's going on at the club?Why does it all need to be secret?As a paying fan I hear rumours and stories of financial problems, legal issues etc. Surely the facts would be better than any rumour.I'm sure if any bale outs are required it won't just be just members asked on the official forum. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The members should of course get all the details but a summary should be posted on the club website so as not to keep the rest of the fan base in the dark. It being a fan owned structure means things are always going to leak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDYFRY Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 I’m a member, season ticket etc, etc etc. Missed the AGM this year and in the dark like everyone else., no communication whatsoever from the club on any any forum on this or any other matter. Which to be fair is no change from the norm; communication is/ was never high on the Clubs priority it seems. Unless of course there is nothing share or able to share perhaps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammyton Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Did you enjoy your season out of the 2nd division. Back you go. From what I have been told you need to get through to the next round of the cup and draw Celtic or Rangers to pay the bills. Just like last time with Ronnie your board backed the wrong person. Should have supported Innes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiviClyde Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Genuine question. How many other clubs issue details of what happens at their board's AGM to their fans? If it is not the norm then why would we? It's really not rocket science and not at all expensive to have access to and participate in the AGM. Become a member and discover it's not really a secret society, but to not exercise discretion in internal affairs would be totally unprofessional and foolhardy. I'll no doubt get the usual accusations of being some kind of Board apologist, but I really can't get my head round the reasoning behind not becoming a member if information on the running of the Club is important to you? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clyde_r_us Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 Many fans including myself are in the position to donate to the club substantial amounts of real hard cash but holding back for more and clearer information. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the point of membership was to give fans a chance to have a say (and vote) in the running of the club, not to keep nonmembers absolutely ignorant.I'll stop my moaning now but look forward to all future funding appeals from the club being directed only at members. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why not become an owner, or contact a director to discuss the matter with them? They are eminently approachable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stop my moaning now but look forward to all future funding appeals from the club being directed only at members. I think it is both acceptable and appropriate that the Club's internal affairs are not bandied around a public forum. I have no doubts that most genuinely interested serious fans will have access to the main issues through contacts without the need to post them on forums like this. Of course the point of ownership/membership is to give fans the chance/right to have a say and vote in the running of the Club and it is open to all fans at a ridiculously affordable annual membership. I'll say one last time that I genuinely don't understand the reluctance of serious fans to join. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
