"Crisis Meeting"

[Guest]

Somebody told me today that Jeff has agreed to meet the supporters at 2.00 on Sunday to answer questions, does anyone know if this is true??

[Spursman]

Nothing on the site. Surely if this was the case, the club would have posted something on the official site or asked somebody in authority, ie Wayne, to leave a message here.

 

Anyway, there is a game at Park Lane tomorrow with Steve's Taxis using the ground so I hardly think it would be possible to use the clubhouse for a meeting with that going on too.

[Mr Gulls]

I have heard from a good source that there is a meeting taking place tomorrow..

 

I predict a anouncement will be made very early next week with regards to the future of the club..

 

Defo not going to be good news..

[Matt H]

If anything materialised from this it would be interesting to see who turns up at the ground tomorrow.

 

If the whole First XI squad show up, then you know something could be going down.

[Mr Gulls]

i presume the meeting will between club officials and Chris Gardner, i doubt all fan would be welcome.

 

It will probably then be down to Chris Gardner to break the news to the Supporters Club

 

Thats my guess

[Ribbit]

That old nugget 'reliable source', eh? Wink, wink, nudge, nudge.

A bit silly holding it on the same day as a charity football match then don't you think?

[Mr Gulls]

if this meeting does happen then it dosen't have to take place at the club

[Matt H]

True, I'm gonna wait for an official statement before commenting further, because 'the meeting' could be about anything - Positive, Negative, something totally unrelated.

 

Needless to say though, that the 'Dagenham fan' thought it was all a done deal last week and something was to be announced on BBC Essex yesterday afternoon. He was so confident he posted it on two different forums!

 

What do they know that we don't eh? Just checked the Isthmian fans site again, yet another thread on there dedicated to this and even good ol' Uncle Urchin's getting in on the game!

my dad says that there is a meeting between jeff king and the supporters

[Mr Gulls]

where and when?

[Mr Gulls]

The meeting is defo taking place tomorrow @ noon between Jeff and Supporters. Venue is the Club..

 

Apparently all supports welcome

[Matt H]

Who's your source Mr Gulls? (No offence, just enquiring).

[Mr Gulls]

Apparently there was announcement due to be made on the Supports Club Coach today about tomorrows meeting..

 

Can anyone who travelled on the coach confirm???

Believe it or not I was expecting this, as soon as you mentioned Chris Gardner in the earlier post.

Now I wouldn't be surprised if the details were already out and tomorrow is the official 'unveiling'.

[Mr Gulls]

hopefully somebody who travelled on the coach today will post a message to confirm if they were made aware of tomorrow proposed meeting

 

Matt - Will you attend if it goes ahead?

[Matt H]

Not all the way from Wycombe mate. It's bad enough getting home from Uni during a weekday let alone a Sunday morning! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

 

However my PC will be firmly fixed to this forum and the official site for any updates throughout the day.

[Spursman]

Surely the way to do this is through the official website and local papers isn't it? Announce the meeting, where, when etc. and at least give people some advance notice to make arrangements to be able to get along there

 

Everybody who has any feeling for Canvey whatsoever should be given the chance to come along to hear what Jeff has to say and surely the club would want to reach the biggest audience possible if they do want our help and support on matters.

 

As it stands, if these rumours are true of a meeting tomorrow, I will not be able to come along but given advanced notice I would definately have been there, come what may and as a season ticket holder feel I (and many others in the same position)should have at least been given advance warning of something so important for the club that is still un-confirmed as I write this at almost 21.45 on a Saturday night.

[Matt H]

The time frame of this whole situation is making me feel like that this 'meeting' has been arranged at such short notice to quash all these rumours. I mean doing it at Noon on a Sunday is hardly gonna have the Press hurtling down to Park Lane, (unless they were informed prior to today).

Invitation only I have been told, it will be after the charity match.
