The Member's Advisory Group had another meeting with the club last night, and GazFish and I brought up the ongoing discussion around the kit colours and the opportunity to vote.
In the past, the discussion has focussed around "the kits are locked in for this year, and there has been a vote in the past".
This time, I took the approach in the post I made a few weeks ago - primarily:
- The discussion is not around what the colours in badge are - they haven't changed, and I haven't read any massive ground support to change these.
- The point is around the PRIMARY kit colour which was changed from Gold to Red and Blue
- Most importantly, the colours were changed by the owner without consultation from the fans.
- The FFA, through Kyle Patterson, said "everything was on the table" regarding colours. Since then, CEO's have changed (Murphy - Eland - McKinna), owners were coming (Thompson) and came (Ledman). Irrespective, the fans have remained.
- This discussion will continue to occur until it is addressed. We all suggested the club need to make take a direction on this - either stick with what we have and accept it or open it up to a member vote again.
Unfortunately, Lawrie is in China so the points were taken on board but the discussion held over to the next meeting. I'll make sure I am there again to take it up again.
Just an update for everyone. If I've got it wrong, happy to discuss.
