My apologies. I've never saw said post. Will this be a regular occurence?

Quoted from lukeo

on the subject of saving money, i don't know if we do have anyone but at Stanley the programme sellers and some of the bar workers and turnstile people work for free. I don't know if we do this but surely some people out there would be willing to do this to help the club? ... Young people more so because it'd look good on the CV if you show that you've worked 'voluntery'

I think the programme sellers are paid, if so get rid of them and how about the turnstyle operators sell the programmes in the turnstyles?

It is the aim that we will have a visable presence in the main Lower Findus bar prior to every game.

BIGChris any chance of enquiring about either getting in some volunteers or like Aaron says sell the programmes in the turnstiles? That'd save couple hundred quid every other week, every little helps.

Brilliant. I'm back for Wrexham at home and will definitely sign up.

Being able to spell 'Voluntary' also looks good on a C.V.
Realising that the word you should have used is 'Voluntarily' would look even better

A lot of Clubs are moving away from non paid volunteers, but I'ts a good point you make about the programmes being sold at the turnstyles.

True, but you knew what i ment so does it really matter ?

I dont think you can sack people just like that and then "employ" volunteers to do same job. Employment laws would not allow that me thinks,

So, if I understand the situation, the Trust gifted Mr. Fenty £200K of shares so as to achieve a level of involvement with the club without representation on the board, and that the new development is asking for £30K per annum to maintain that level of co-operative involvement and gain a seat on the board.

Firstly if the Trust wanted to gain a level of involvement to with THE CLUB why were the shares given to Mr. Fenty. Secondly, no indication has been given to exactly how much influence a seat on the board will have. Thirdly are you not just trying to buy co-operative involvement with the regime that has, to all effects and purposes, put the club in the position it is in at the present moment.

The Trust will be paying £30K a year for the priviledge of helping to run the club in exactly the same way it has been run for the last ten years. In this case I believe that Cure is actually better than Prevention
