Committee have 21 days to convene an EGM from there. First challenge is to figure out how many members there are. Again though I’d go back to how quick, and with great willingness, the Committee created time and space for regular ad-hoc meetings to discuss the changes to the Club’s MO back in late 2019. What could possibly be so awful that they don’t want to share with the fans? I recall Gerry at the initial meeting opening his arms to everyone with his “all in it together speech”. I stopped being a member a few years ago because of various decisions the Committee had made over the years. Being now 85 years I have saved money with my oap season ticket since then. In all my years as a member I think the average membership was about 190 So even if you young turks want to call an EGM all you need is 10 members to call one. As old and ancient as I am I think I have got the maths right in this. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider Rico Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 With all this talk of off the field matters, we have a game on Saturday and it still feels like we are several players short. Been all quiet over the last week or so in terms of new players coming in and we only had one senior outfield player on the bench against a Raith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s why I’m pondering if this President is useless or perhaps being coached by others to step away from the fan base. Let’s say you were a multi millionaire global entrepreneur who enjoys a free seat in Government. You’d hardly be likely to mingle with riff-raff in the portakabin up at Cove, for example. Or say you were experienced at running Premiership teams, for example Hibs, you’d hardly be likely to pop in for a pint at the social club on your way to your seat. Maybe it’s chit-chat with these types that’s inflated importance in the minds of some. Whatever the reason, it’s not what we voted for. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CathcartSkins Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Whilst frustrated with the lack of communication with us, the members/ STH; the core support; the overall direction of travel does excite me. The promotion last year, the recruitment ahead of this season both on and off the field, the Ladies team, the U18's success and the Community Summer programmes for the school kids. All I ask is to be treated an adult; share the bad news about the re-development of Lesser, the task of securing a "home" ground for this season and when we might be able to buy tickets. Anyways, a run of victories and top of the league by the next International-break and all this will be forgotten about. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This won’t be the case if there is no display of transparency or respect coming from those in charge. They can fix this issue so easily if they have the will to do it. It’s hard to arrive at any other conclusion than them not wanting to, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick1867 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) So, one week to go til our first home game of the season and still f**k all public communication with our supporters via our website, Facebook or twitter on arrangements for the game and how to purchase tickets. An exclusive email to members doesn't cut it I'm afraid ( and last season's members and season ticket holders are still waiting for that follow up email / letter so we can actually buy the tickets mentioned in that email) If it wasn't for members sharing that info on here then everyone would be completely in the dark Not to mention quite a number of our hardcore support chose not to buy season tickets last season for obvious reason but instead paid for the streaming on a week by week basis. So we're actually choosing to lock out faithful fans for the two home league cup matches. I trust that when we are allowed more in for the first home league game on August 7 - the traditional flag day for champions- all our support will get in to see that. Seeing as the target of Level 0 will allow a minimum of 2,000 fans. And if the same social distancing rules apply, will they refuse to open another stand to cater for more than the current 400 they are claiming can only fit in the Jackie Husband? Jackie Brambles, more like! Edited July 7, 2021 by Mick1867 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the various episodes of the Gerry and Dave Roadshow questions were asked by several members, including me, about how it might all play out.

Does anyone seriously believe that bringing in Leeann Dempster could have been arranged, or even thought of, by our committee. I also recall three separate president’s saying the club was “run with conservative, with a small c, decision making”. Tapping Dempster is bold and audacious.

an86 Posted July 7, 2021 Author Share Posted July 7, 2021 In principle, I’m fine with Haughey, I’m fine with Dempster and I’m fine with full-time football and the wider idea of growing the club in a meaningful sense within the community. I voted to go pro knowing that anything or anyone could end up at the helm. The alternative was much, much worse. My expectation was that we would do the off-field basics without breaking sweat. Never mind breaking sweat, we’ve actually fallen asleep and pished ourselves. It’s been embarrassing and it has to change. I’m still hopeful enough that it will when they can no longer hide. They have torched an awful lot of goodwill and have very little of it left in the bank. They can very easily start to repair this by communicating, with some honesty and humility, and doing it soon. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time of the vote In November 2019 the ambition stated was to try to be the best part time team in the country, up with the likes of Alloa and Arbroath. No mention of full time football which was then announced out of the blue in May 2020. The only club the committee are running these days is the social club. And that's been shut for 18 months!
