Groundshare Agreed

[Guest]

Clive ..... don't keep this thread going..you have made your point...you told me back at the away heybridge game you would not be joining so as far as i am concerned this is old news....

 

You were consulted ! You knew the club was trying to arrange a new contract/move ..its done a great deal and sometimes as I have told you in the past some things had to be kept quiet , the clubs representatives had major items to sort out including convincing Eddie to stay and all on top of this genuine concerns that we may loose supporters by way of a move to Maidenhead, which we can ill offord to do !

 

We as your representatives were asked to join the meetings a first ! slowly slowly we move forward..yes we know communication has been bad in the past , but you must rely on the elected board members to ensure your views are taken into consideration....I had lots of people calling me over the last few weeks concerned...my phone number is for trust members to call me...

 

You can look for excuses why In your opion that the Trust does not always seamed to fight for the supporters but we have to move in a calm and composed and professional way, and slowly we will move forward to represent our shareholders, its the only way.......

 

I am sorry you still feel this way.. inc Roger .....

 

but until you can grasp the fact that our club is walking a tight rope and by you jumping up and down at one end....will make us all fall...and lose what is dear to us...work together come to our hut on match days, tell us what we are not listerning too...and we will try to answer those doubts about our aims and motives...

Think the best thing to come out of this is the fact we seem to be getting things sorted off the pitch. Yes everyone is never going to be happy but:

 

- No Summer of uncertainty

- We have a football club!

- We have the ground sorted out before deadline

- We are still focused in moving back to Slough

- It's a year-by-year deal. Were not stuck at Windsor

- Things seem to be a lot more professional off the pitch

- Eddie can now go ahead and bring the right players to the club - not have a last minute rush for players as we have done in recent years.

 

All pretty positive IMO

Chris you miss the point - you dont represent me as I am not a trust member - you only represent those who are in the trust.

[Guest]

Clive you are a shareholder until the AGM 2006 as my records shows this...sorry....

 

so what again is your point...

 

chris sliski

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Chris please look at the other thread and you will see that I have removed myself from the trust.

[Guest]

You need to write to me as secretary and sign your letter so the shareholding can be cancelled.

 

so you are still a shareholder until the agm !

 

so what is your point...

 

tell us what you wanted us to raise as a supporter with concerns...

[Roger Rebel]

My point is you only consulted with trust members, if i have got this wrong please name some of the non trust members you consulted. And as for the communist jibe, i belive in democracy and not the one party state ie the trust.

[Roger Rebel]

Chris you say we are not stuck at Winwor, but wont the same argument be made next year and the year after.

[Guest]

not going to take that bait Roger, trust members or not if people want us to help then our door has and always will be open...

 

Like you helped us in the elections but you were not a trust member but we appreciated your help and we listern to what you say...

 

so where's the problem.....

 

Here on record now...The Trust thanks Roger and members of the Barmy army for all the fund raising you have done to help the club..and hope it continue's.....

 

I have to tell you staright if anyone wants to speak with me, I don't ever look to see if they are trust memebrs never have done nor will do...

 

cheers chris....

[Roger Rebel]

This was not for you Mr S.

[Rebel Kay]

If we had had a meeting to discuss what the Trust should have pushed for as a suitable location, we would not all have agreed, wasted no end of time arguing about it and then half of us would have been even more pee'd off at the decison not being one of their choosing. Well done to all for making a decison and getting it sorted before the deadline. One less thing for us to worry about.

[Roger Rebel]

I was sure you would not be able to name anyone thats why i made the comment.

[Guest]

yes I can Lawrence and julie cousins ! non trust memebers who concerned a move to maidenhead...

 

and the Hartridge family only ron is the Member but the other 3 spoke of concerns...

 

and a few more too...

 

so you see other recognise us as the supporters voice...

 

but you are those people..they don't know...!!!and did not know you were representing those people.... who are you ??

well said chris.
what i dont see is why everytime a decision is made at the club theres always someone moaning, always fighting between ourselves, this is probably why the club have been reluctant to pass on information/ask for the supporter's/trust's opinions.
were still going, lets focus on that and getting the club back to Slough, and look forward to next season.
up the rebels!

Do you really think it's feasible to hold meeting(s) with all supporters invited in a time-pressured negotiating situation?

From what I understand, it was going to be Maidenhead until fairly late on when a better deal was thrashed out with Windsor. I for one am glad it was, for the good of the club. Offers like this in situations like this, aren't on the table for very long - you have to make a decision there and then. No time for large scale meetings to be organised.

And besides - the groundshare issue is a Club matter and IMO I think we should be glad the Trust board members (who are all fans after all) were called to the meeting in the first place to discuss pros and cons.

[GarySTFC]

Matt - SR, & RR to a different extent, have the issue with something which I think Roy said in May that the supporters would be consulted and doesn't feel that the Trust is representative of all supporters, so why should they be happy the Trust was consulted?

[Guest]

valid point oh wise man...

 

but constructivley this was not possible...you knows that and we knows that..and (the supporters representatives TRUST) we asked to attend ..a first step...and you got your press release first did you not ! That was the trusts wish and ensured Bernard call you to break the news...to everyone..the trust members were amongest the first supporters to know..or should i have called them all before releasing the information...to those people...sorry !!!!!

[GarySTFC]

Chris, I shouldn't need to be happy about it, it's the way it SHOULD be done, every time - from both the Club and the Trust. Hopefully it will be the start of communicating things properly.

[Guest]

Yes and we are trying to improve it.. too...

 

but remember we are only sheep...

 

and i know you'd like a good sheep... <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

[Staines-upon-Thames Rebel]

Wishful thinking Gary - the club will only communicate when it needs to - if there is money involved!

 

It only communicated to the trust to ensure that when it wants some of the trusts funds the trust are still "sweet" and belive they are being involved with the running of the club.

 

The trust was only involved in the talks yesterday for the club to make sure as many bodies come through the turnstiles next season and hand over their money.
