rushwickdon, I make no apologise for being a relative newcomer at only 11 or 12 years & I certainly make no apologise for not having the trait of being negative about everything. I am not an incognito club official, just an ordinary supporter who attends as many home matches as possible & an occasional away match. There are a few on here that know me & I can assure you that they would disagree with your misguided opinions of me as venemously as I disagree with your & many others' preconceptions of what the new board will achieve with our support !

I predict that the fickle "die hards" who are throwing their toys out of the pram will see things start to happen over the next week or so & slowly begin to return to the club. I also predict that no matter how much good news there is to embrace, they will return moaning & bl**dy groaning about every negative they can. I will also predict that the social club will begin to show a profit with virtual immediate effect, bearing in mind that I still think this loss has been a designed accountancy feature (which was all but confirmed last night). And I will predict that there will be an announcement regarding the catering contract very soon to ensure that is also a more profitable venture By the way Jeremy, I'm missing your words of wisdom today !!!

Mmmmmmmmmmm Greenman, am I right in thinking that you were one of the contigency who (& quite rightly) said that the SAG group could not put an accurate business plan together until they had access to & been able to investigate the accounts to see exactly what the position is ? But you seem to think this new board can ! A H was honest enough last night to admit he was still in that position. I think he was shocked at some of the details on which he was being enlightened. I will be very surprised if there is not a quick turn around in the fortunes of the social club, with or without the offer RW & DJ have made for several years. However, I sincerely hope that they will still be the driving force behind because they will without doubt receive far more support than the new board to make the project a rapid success.

That's going to be a great help ealing.
Am I the only one on here who realises that the "old board" no longer exists, there are just four individuals left who now make up a minority 33% of the new board. You wanted change, you've got change albeit not quite what you wanted. But how can you condemn this new unit without giving them a chance ?

The majority have spoken & whether you like it or not the new board is confirmed. I hope this is not the end of your support for your club. The board has promised to be open, not only in it's "dealings" but also open to suggestions & help. This should be your opportunity to help grow it's success. Most of you have almost demanded to be an active part of sub commitees, working parties etc to help develop the club. now you will be given the chance to help with more than just lip service. Two good examples being The social club & the catering. If as has been suggested many times these can be turned around in a matter of weeks, lets see it being done. It was good to meet you for the first time Jem & Andy, lets hope you & all the other so called life long avid supporters can put this mess behind & help the whole thing move forward. The new board deserve to be given a chance to prove that with our help they can deliver. The fight should go on & perhaps the SAG group will now be able to work with the board as it has so many new characters who, you never know might just be good for us ! A final note regarding Anthony Hampson, Would everyone agree it was refreshing to hear someone actually say that they haven't got a clue, but would come back with answers & isn't he a nice guy

The decision not to hold the EGM was made before those results were read out.

Well well well The AGM ended & most of the SAG group left before the decision to hold the AGM was made, & I think that pole may just have resulted in another member being voted on !

I have no intention of doing anything to help put money in the present director's food and drink budget.
No doubt IDIFF has sold advertising space on the the marshals jackets!
Oh dear oh dear, even when someone is trying to help a worthwhile charity SOMEONE has to try to spin it into a boardroom money making scam SHAME ON YOU !!!!!

"Tony
As you know I have helped out on every Santa Run run bar one, when I was ill. In fact last year only me, Darrell and Hannah turned up. However I am feeling a bit reluctant to put my name forward this time due to some silliness I have received from a club hanger on. I believe his name is Pugh (not Julian but another Pugh). In the last month or so this person has tried to stop me giving a letter to each director on the grounds that I have no legitimate right to protest against you and your fellow board members because I have never sold a raffle ticket (the fact that I actually have is neither here nor there) and had rasberries blown at me when I walked past his position at the bottom of the directors stand steps. His companion, Mr Lancaster, seemed particularly amused at this last action.
So I suggest you ask him to fill in for me. However feel free to ask again, nearer the time, if you are really desperate.
PS. Thanks for your words the other night. I am still a bit non-plussed, but your concern is appreciated."
Why don't you grow up............ It was not T P who insulted you if you don't want to help don't, but don't make excuses as to why !!
Tony, I can't promise I'm available at the moment but I'll do my best & I'll let you know ASAP

Unfortunately I was too late getting back to Worcester to go to the meeting tonight. Does anyone have any constructive information to pass on ? Was there any new revolations offered ? Was a possible merger with Forest Green announced ?

Yes I am saying don't vote for them. If they want to retire let them do it now, lets face it if they're ready to go how can they put their heart & soul into it & why give the reformed board a chance to co-opt I doubt very much there has been any fraudulant trading, I suspect it's more to do with in house accounting, which is quite normal

Post by jimbo on Nov 26, 2008 11:18:51 GMT
There are 3 directors standing who intend to retire at the end of January. If they are elected & do retire the board (whichever factionit is) will have 3 places which they can co-opt people of their choice, not yours. This is your chance to try to ensure that they do not have that opportunity. Please do not take this as the normal board "witch hunt" & in an attempt to persuade you otherwise, this is what I think of the three concerned. JP. I was introduced to the big man by then director Malcom Rushton who eventually persuaded him to join the board. He has always been extremely pleasant, a thoroughly nice guy. I do not hold the view that all the losses in the social club is down to him & I think it'll eventually be shown that those massive losses have been designed in the accounts for some reason. TP. Another nice guy who does a good job as security chief & I sincerely hope he'll continue to do this if not re-elected. LB. Not much to say about Laurie. In my opinion he is Mr WCFC & has worked extremely hard to keep the fund raising going.

The AGM could last a very long time, because it is not only about electing or re-electing a board of directors, there is also company business to conduct. Unless the votes go the right way (whichever that may be) I seriously doubt there will be time for an EGM.

Dave, (Sheddy). I doubt you've been nobbled as the "fountain of all knowledge" seems to think. I think it's rather refreshing to hear someone else questioning the so called facts (distorted on here in my opinion). BUT I do think that you should be aware of the propaganda machine.............. uuuummm I wonder which direction you should be most aware of ?

Am I reading previous posts correctly in that Wed' night is a trust meeting or like Saturday will I be able to attend ? For some reason Alison ( Mrs T if you prefer ) seems to think that I know more than I do. This is not the case & I would like the opportunity to hear what the present board including the co-opted directors have to say

AND HE DID IT BY HIMSELF I PRESUME EALING !!! As I have said before, I am neither condoning or condemning any individuals. I just think that some people on here have litlle or no knowledge of some of our present or proposed directors & that a few more facts rather than the normal "slagging offs"would help them make informed decisions.

"Has anyone read the hype which arrived in the post today? It states that Boddy has supported the club for a good many years. But does not mention all the other clubs he has been associated with (Evesham, Upton, and Pershore) and in particular the club he founded in opposition to the City. Which, was going to replace the City as the premier club in Worcester and go on to the Football League. Which I might add foundered."
Actually, I thought it was put together quite well !
AND JUST A COMMENT.......... I can only remember a very few people who were'nt glad to see D B come here as a director & subsequently chairman so why is there so much venomous feelings regarding his past now. You should have voiced your opinions back then. Besides which did you know that D B formed Athletico because he wanted a major footballing force in Worcester & at that time he felt that the WCFC board had no ambition to progress beyond non league. Perhaps if you knew a little more about various individuals you would judge him & any others up for election on their recent history of which you may have slightly more knowledge.
I used to support HUFC are you going to condemn me for that ?

"David Little was Petrochem's Sales Director who not only sorted (with Alan Wills I believe) the very good sponsorship deal with Petrochem, but also contributed a lot to the club, and was almost always at every game travelling up from London." You're almost right Tim.............. David (canvassed by Alan Wills) Sponsored the club for a couple of years before becoming the main sponsor, & subsequently a company director. Although his company is based near London, he lives on the coast near Hastings. AND a real nice guy he is too. He used to attend a lot of home matches, most of those played 'down south' & he often flew to Manchester when the ground was in striking distance of there to support the team. WE HAVE PROPOSED DIRECTORS WHO HAVE NEVER BEEN DOWN THE LANE !!!!!

As we're so broke, I've no doubt the gates will be closed to all incoming traffic after half time so that stay away fans cannot get to the meeting without paying to see the match.

I have never known it to be the case that you need to take your share certificates to an AGM or EGM. If that were the case, surely all proxy votes would have to be accompanied by one as well. The procedure has always been a show of hands & the numbers questioned only if it looks a close vote.

Post by jimbo on Nov 14, 2008 9:08:19 GMT
Dave, I don't think you should base the ambitions or otherwise of SAG based on Jeremy's comments. He is not on the list of their proposed directors & therefore you should treat his comments as personal opinions not SAG policy.

Jeremy You seem to know far more than ALL of us about what the present board, the supporters trust & the "new board" are doing. It would appear that you have an agenda: Are you a member of all of them or simply close enough to all factions giving you the privilage of being privvy to information we'd all like in order to help us make informed decisions before we vote at the AGM/ EGM

Actually Ms Turner, we have been formally introduced albeit several years ago. And to put the record straight on my links with the current board which in no way shows my endorsement or otherwise for them I have know all of the present board members except TP (who I've only known since he was voted onto the board) for a lot of years. And obviously unlike you with me I do remember them !!!! As for D H: I interrupted the poor guy's evening out on Saturday, and have a lot of respect for the fact that he was not only willing but also eager to talk to me as a supporter & shareholder of the club.

I don't think he reads this board Richard. Perhaps someone could contact the club & clarify this point. At the same time it may be worth checking if proxy votes can be used at the meeting or if they have to be submitted beforehand.
