Update

[Margate Football Club]

The Club continue to await the decision of Chairman Malcolm Rowlett after he was asked to consider withdrawing his resignation. In the meantime both Colin Page and Keith Piper have now withdrawn their resignations.

 

London and Margate Developments Ltd remain committed to the redevelopment of our new stadium and the Club hope to announce some positive news very shortly. The Developers further undertake to reinstate the suspended weekly donation to the Club but only once the 5 a-sides reach a financial break-even point. In this regard the Management Team continue to explore every avenue to deliver more pith usage.

 

On Tuesday evening the Club welcomed the new Football Management Team and both Barry and Paul were delighted with the support given to them. We all wish them well as they set out their plans for the coming Season.

 

Manu supporters remain concerned over the politics within the Club after the resignation of Directors Bown, Rowlett and Painter. The current Directors will be available to answer those questions on Tuesday 03 June 2008 at 19:00 in the Clubhouse and welcome all supporters wishing to make a constructive contribution to the discussion.

 

Also at that meeting the Directors will hope to introduce the new Director of Football to answer any questions.

 

Up the Gate!

He said much the same to me when I spoke to him last weekend.

Am chuffed to pieces that KP/club,have now acknowledged that we needed updating.This they have now done & quite soon after the other night too. Not only that but a meeting also,for us all to ask our many questions. Hopefully we'll get factual answers & news on this night & put us more in the picture as regards how we stand at this time.

The club cannot & should not,i.m.o be forgiven completely for ignoring us over the last few months or more but at least now we are being heard & I am pleased he/club has acted on this occasion as he said he would,& swiftly too.Thank you KP.

Hopefully this will continue in the future in same way that Wellsie has managed to secure regular updates on the playing front from the new manager.

Obviously when things start progressing on & off the field I wouldn't expect updates so often but for now they are much appreciated,I would have thought,by many.

Now that we ARE actually getting info & a chance to ask things on a face-to-face basis,lets hope as many as possible will turn up on the night.

We have had so many promises of an imminent erection starting, the bloody builders must all be eunochs. I'll believe it when I see it finished. All the previous promises have been a load of Bollox or not in the case of the eunochs.

Broken promises indeed AB, on most fronts. This is why,today,I am thrilled that an acknowledgement & an assurance of an update & a meeting has been honoured.

We should be able to ask limited questions regarding the financial stability of the club going forward and whether this is going to be a seris of regular meetings with the officials and not just a one off.

The club must work with the supporters and the supporters with the club. That said the club whilst working with MISA should note not all supporters are memmbers of MISA which is something that MISA must correct to be truely representive

[Wellsie]

But thats what KP is cautious about. If he says nothing, then he's slated. If he says there's nothing to say, he's slated. If there's a delay after he says we're hopeful of progressing soon, he's slated. So it's a bit of a no win.

 

I would (and have) urged comuunicating that there is nothing to say when that is indeed the situation, but then people have to accept that is communication and stop slating them.

 

I think that what the club is offering right now is dialogue and that is better than communication. I guess it's therefore up to both "sides" to show some understanding now.

Thrilling indeed that the club look like making some more promises.
