Anyone who helps, volunteers, manages at our club should be met with the respect they deserve instead of pi king fault If your having a little dig at me as the "ex player" then ye its concerning what has gone on over the last few weeks regrading the results the coach and other things. Not "eager to be over ctitical" or picking fault as I have know Helen for years and respect the support her and others have given over a very long time. I was just asking why a group of ladies who work hard to provide a little extra income for the club and the players have suddenly called it a day. Nowt sinister or over critical in that. As it is I have had a response by pm so I will leave it at that . ** I responded earlier but it does not seem to have been published. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Spike was just refuting the claim that June wasn't got rid of if that's who Timberman was meaning she did retire and it would be difficult to replace someone with that much knowledge of the club.

Exactly my point an x director! , I'm sure the club can't wait for your financial input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he has already stated he is a shareholder ,a sponsor and a previous donor to the club's coffers . Some previous directors put money into the Town cause never expecting to get it back and in most cases they didn't! Having been involved in Town's long and often turbulent history there are former directors who I have only negative opinions of --- this guy isn't one of them.

thetimberman Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Thanks all for your input and advice folks, really my point was as this change issue happened at two turnstiles where people in my group entered how many more folks saved a fiver due to the change issue, and yes i am a share holder, who never expects to get a penny from this investment, but as a share holder an entitled to keep an eye on my share holding, also, as i work as a H and S and management consultant i ask the question, if cockups like this happen in the management of the club what else is poorly managed, as in my experience if a company cannot get a basic thing like enough float money organised what else is lacking in there management. And that gents is my last words suffice to say i would not expect the same issue to happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I repeat in your position of shareholder why didn't you inform the office or club together and pay the right money? Or even better get the £5 later and hand it in?. You also seemed to have forgotten about the serious matter regarding the safety certificate that the X director who wanted your advice on? The dereliction of duty by the X director that you tried to pin on the existing board!! I suggest if you want to jump on the x director , I was Leons friend brigade check your information first.

Think you are totally missing the point being raised, why should people have to run around sorting out £5 because the club isn't prepared with enough change?

It will be 100% correct, I imagine it was brought up to highlight an area where the club could improve, but you have your view and nothing is going to change that, so no point in continuing the discussion.

snoopdog Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 100% correct and you know that how? I'm 100% certain the first part of his accusation was wrong ? But like Tadge you don't want to acknowledge that part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
