Insert Name Here aka The Ownership Thread

[GazFish35]

As opposed to the current model of finding and some Ill fitting rich blokeand conning them to do the task of running their non profiting clubs which isn't really working that well either

Con Tinkler Palmer etc etc etc

Hey it is their choice to chase these rich blokes to run the clubs. Don't blame anyone for a dearth of potential buyers when they have scorched the earth and burnt everyone they have dealt with so the other rich blokes are not interested

Ill rephrase he question then....

Why would they bother doing all the legwork to create a community ownership model when the community aren't exactly knocking down their door to make it happen ourselves?

Why do all they work when it's easier to find a rich dude?

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be able fork out 500 a seaso to be part of the community group that own some share of the club - but it's up to us to force the issue, not wait till the FFA do it. Am I willing to do the legwork? no. So I'm not gonna bitch that no one else is either.


Complaining that they won't set it up, when we wont either is pointless.


One of the biggest a issues facing our club is that we are all sitting waiting for some else to sort it, while complaining that no-one is trying to sort it.

Perpetual negativity without any action to force change is what really holds us back.

If we aren't willing to get up and force change, constant negativity from the sidelines does nothing to help. It's like the active support issues expanded.
