If that is correct and he gets back involved I am finished forever!Makes me feel physically sick when I see him at fixtures anyway let alone back as an officer of the club.

If he comes back I will definitely not go any more once my ten game ticket is finished

Maybe the death of the club is taking too long and they need a expert?

this sounds stupid to me, why would most of the board resign, if Hampson resigns all it needs is a replacement chairman, if the rest quit who are the rest of the board & who elects them... this sounds so stupid to be true...

Well the only saving grace is that it has not happened (yet) but to think they were(or are) even contemplating this disgusts me

If Boddy is back, that's me done forever.

Oh for goodness sake there really is some complete nonsense posted on here, and then people are gulliable enough to believe it!
Simon you need to find something to occupy your time fella, perhaps go and spot trains or planes something. Who was your source, Hans Christian Anderson?

I hope you have concrete information that the rumours are untrue before you brand us all as gulliable fools?I would never rubbish anything that I heard about the club again after taking a while to be convinced about the SGL\Nunnery Way disaster!

And what is the concrete information that the rumour started by Simon has any truth within it, yet you are happy to react?
Boddy was there on Saturday. The reason, he was scouting on behalf of the Gloucester Manager who we play soon.

Boddy was at a large number of home games last season too. Could both just be a coincidence, or he could be about to take over. I've not a clue.

It doesn't matter if this is a rumour, it's a concept worthy of debate. Personally I wouldn't allow Boddy entry to any WCFC game, no matter why he was attending.

Dave Boddy was indeed there last Saturday doing a bit of scouting on behalf of Gloucester - something he did last season as well.

Why do you always pop up when someone writes anything about the people who have all but destroyed this club. You never answer any questions, just come out with the same drivel over and over again. You are the gullible one!

Well DB holds 3000 shares (or at least did?) so no surprise to see him at games.

The big question now is - where do we go from here?
The board will never relinquish control of the club - they've proved that at the EGM. Basically we are just disgruntled customers. I may like Cadbury's chocolate, but if they change the recipe of my favourite bar there's nothing I can do about it unless I buy hundreds of thousands of shares, and even then I'd wield limited power.
There's no way that supporters can ever take over this WCFC. As Steve says above "DB holds 3000 shares".
So what do we do? It seems the only way forward would be to start a new club which could absorb the name and history of WCFC when this one ultimately collapses.
I won't put another penny into Hampson's pocket. I'm now in a position where I'm actually hoping the club will be wound up as soon as possible. This pains me deeply. Someone please give me a more positive alternative.

It's more of an issue than just the Board though. The Board could all resign, but even if Jem, Rob, Rich etc made up a new Board - they couldn't change to a community club because the vote went against that. They'd be powerless. The only way forward is to change the 75% pass level to be a more reasonable one. That, & an uptake in fan/trust share ownership, before another vote was called.

Thats exactly the issue. This shows what a stalemate this now is. If they all resigned tomorrow, I'm afraid there is no way that anyone who is aware of the situation could possibly step up. I certainly wouldn't. Its not the board, its the shareholders who have decided on the future of the company, and decided that the future should be exactly the same as the past! Oh but without any assets, any local base, and any revenue generation opportunities. Unfortunately we can't change the 75% pass level, thats got nothing to do with the club constitution, thats simply company law, in every company, a special resolution has to be passed with a 75% vote. However, this 75% law also means that it is pretty impossible for the Board to implement changes that they might want to bring in, such as issuing more share capital, or removing the 1% limit, because they can't get 75% in favour either!

This surely means the club will slowly die. There is no long term future.

Well thoroughly agree with Archie, Jem and Clouds' comments and is why I have been advocating and recommending that fans refrain from spending any more money with the Club such as souvenirs, raffles, 50/50 draws and as much as possible boycotting home games, much though I hate recommending that last one as appreciate that is what we are all here for. Of course where a season ticket or group of tickets had been bought prior to the EGM then naturally I would not ask you to waste that money but if those people could avoid buying anything else at the ground it may all help add up to applying more pressure on the Board and their backers or advance the demise of the Club so we can plan for the Phoenix club era as that now seems the only practical option, given the Boards intransigence over constitutional change. I hope as many Trust members and fans can attend the meeting arranged by the Trust this evening to discuss the future strategies as we must assume now the Board will be running the Club down to extinction. I am still tempted to push for another EGM to ask for a change in the Club constitution to allow shareholders to be able to cash in their shares and recover their money since 75% of us are not allowed our say or rights under this archaic constitution nor after Mr Hampsons' last couple of performances even allowed to ask questions! I will not be attending in person this time as I have just agreed to sell my house and have many things to do here now to facilitate that and my long overdue move up to Worcester. I hope that those that can attend tonight can agree on a strategy and framework for the future. It is not going to be easy but it will be worth the fight and then Worcester City AFC will be the peoples Club and not an executive plaything of the few narrow minded and bigoted souls currently running our our beloved Club into the ground and we can see and hear the death rattles already. So please go with an open mind tonight ladies and gentlemen but most of all work together to strive for a new future for Worcester football that the City can truly be proud of in the future.

Well having read last nights report of the Trust meeting I have to hold my hand up and admit the rumour I heard about Dave Boddy turns out to be false. C'est la vie. Quite frankly though I am pleased it at least shows there is still a lot of hostility towards the Board past and present and unlike the Board and it's supporters who put out false information and accusations on a regular basis, I apologise. It's a shame The Board can't do the same and they wonder why we don't trust them!
