At a guess so if someone sees a member, they can approach them and discuss something? Remember that not everyone is on the foz.Quote:

the eight of us are a pretty good cross section of the supporter base, and other than us saying that we figured a short bio on us all and group photo might help fans/members see more value in this process.
Is there a FB page for fans (who are not on ere) to communicate? cbf lookingQuote:

Jeterpool, Maria, Liam and I often approach people on Facebook to give them the chance to expand on their concerns.

We are hoping to have a greater presence out the front of the stadium on match days in some form.
The kick around thing went off. Was about 2000 out there having the time of their lives.
Good work getting it done.
Even strolled across the hallowed turf to take a short cut to the Tenzo
Cheers mate. Glad it was a successQuote:

Any ideas on when the committee will become more independent? I noted that the attempt for the committee to become an actual 'committee' (rather than 'sub-committee' as the club likes to call you now) was shut down by the club, seemingly on the grounds that they want ultimate control of what is discussed, actions that are taken etc.
Maybe it needs to gain a bit more legitimacy through exposure to the broader members, but I envisage that at some point the whole club control thing is going to wear thin as the committee will want to discuss a wider range of issues than scarves and hats.
Wicked. Hope all the kids out there enjoyed it too.Quote:

Agreed. But we are taking small sustainable steps, and the formal relationship is still young.Quote:

Good to hear.
Definitely thinking longer term here. I think it will take some more time until the broader membership base acknowledges it as their legitimate representative. Obviously if you were take those steps now you'd run the risk of being too obscure to do any good.
Way about it is definitely to get the name of the committee out there more, and it looks like you're taking the right steps in that direction with the bios + presence on match day. kutgw.
Are the minutes a true representation.
Yes. I believe they are. We didn't get through the entirety of the topics which were planned for discussion, hence some answers have been added post meeting.Quote:

Having the agreement now that the mebers on the committe can stipulate three items for discussion is a step to having fans issues answered and not carried over.
much of the time spent in early part of the meeting on March2 was Murphy introdcuing himself and answering questions, prior to the meeting commencing
Next meeting coming soon.
Much of next meeting will focus on issues not discussed at the last due to time constraints.
Importantly the club have also allowed us to determine 3 agenda items.... That we need to submit prior to the meeting so that they can address them properly.
So, essentially the next meeting is 100% about fans issues.
If you'd like to flesh out some ideas not discussed on last agenda, or propose an issue for the inclusion as one of the three "new" issues sing out.
I'll summarise the issues not addressed..... Shortly.
For God sakes get rid of the ****ing PA
His job is to announce the squad and subs and that's it
And no more pre game music
Thanks guys
Can you also point out to them that the bloke on the mic was encouraging people to bring banners to the game pre game at the Pissant match.Quote:

WTF Can we get an explanation at this glaring inconsistency??
Sounds like Twitter: You Twit how much you love them and how great they are and you get 50 Re-twit, you get on the big screen, FB........etc......... you name it. But you ask something they don't want to hear and they send you to Siberia.............Quote:
