You hit the nail on the head, communication between the committee and Zone League guys was extremely poor regarding a registration cut of date.Originally Posted by Buddha
The Committee argued that social media post and a general meeting was the communication preference of the registration cut off date. It's hilarious because the committee argues that social media is their preference of communication however the committee has made it so certain people can't communicate with them via social media. The so called general meeting was also conveniently scheduled on a night that the Zone League guys were training. The Zone League guys have asked to see minutes of this so called general meeting and to this day they have not been forthcoming.
What ircs me the most is that certain committee members had private communication with other team's representatives in the club informing them of this cut off date but they never extended that courtesy to anyone in the Zone League. When asked to explain this several times, no one from the committee will answer why.
Unfortunately we put our trust in the committee and they betrayed that trust in my opinion. The writing was on the wall early on when the Club failed to submit the entry form into the Australian Cup, something that certain committee members were adamant was filed.
If you ask me, this was a calculated, merciless and vindictive attempt to remove people from the club. People that the committee deemed to difficult to work with, myself probably the main culprit. This was done with little regard for the irreparable damage they have caused to the greater football community surrounding Garden Suburb FC.
To top it all off, a desperate plea was made by several past and present Zone League players and family members for the committee to reconsider their decision. Then the committee used all the backlash they received as grounds to not reconsider their decision, I know dumbfounding.
I've made lifelong friendships whilst playing for Garden Suburb and a lot of my friends lives have been built around this great little club. Now that has been ripped away from them all because of the actions of a few individuals, it's been heart breaking.
