Quoted from barralad


In the interests of fairness it should be pointed out that the issue of Mike Parker's view on the deal with the shares was covered in the Q and A which went out. As I understand it there have been a few communications with Mr Parker.


What Q&A was that please barralad? I can't remember receiving one either with the ballot paper letter or subsequently. Even though it is now immaterial to the outcome, I am still interested in learning what Mike Parker's view was (it might allay some concerns) so would appreciate someone posting the relevant wording from the Q&A and/or a summary of the communications - thanks!

Quoted from Biccys
Pointless complaining about it now.

Pointless complaining before too.    

Quoted from Biccys
Pack the park Saturday roar the team on to 3 points and get the intercourse out of this excrement league with it's excrement referees and excrement away days.

Well said.

Others shouldn't feel guilty for having a say but just personally, that's precisely my bottom line to put off what I'd like to say.
No it's not a moan or finger pointing (quite the opposite) but it probably isn't gonna change anything for the better right now anyway.

You're quite a wise man Biccy's  

PS I'll let you off Anthony Church conceding that pen !

Quoted from Pass and Move


How is it seperate?

The fact the trust publicised the "seat on the board" while voting was going on is farcical and invalidates any prospect of a fair vote in my opinion. Any discussions about a seat on the board should have been kept private until voting was complete or until the offer of such a seat had been finalised.


Spot on that

Two points.

1. The 'seat on the board' was clearly influential and should, equally clearly, have caused the vote to be re-run.

2. 82% of a 72% turnout means that 59% of the Trust membership voted YES which whilst still a majority isn't that sensational bearing in mind the above.

[quote] The Trust agrees not to accept any further shares from Mr Mike Parker. [quote]

I'm suprised noone's picked up on this? Or am I just being stupid? ... Why shouldn't the club recieve further shares if offered to them  

Oh and I'm happy with the result, I'm just curious

You're happy that GTFC remains in the current situation of being utterly reliant on the good will of a single person whilst being in such debt that it continues to be a totally unattractive proposition to external investors. OK.

80's to the rescue? Let me know if it's anything else...


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Thank god the long term future of the club is now secured. Well the next 14 months anyway. By which time we'll be further in debt, further dependent on one man and presumably still operating on a budget way beyond our means.

As I said, thank god the long term future of the club is secured.......
