The rest was speculation, based mostly on preference or alleged insider knowledge. There has not been an official statement to my knowledge on the coaching situation, other than Greenwood being put in temporary charge, well at least for the Bradford game. Without facts it is unwise to speculate on possible employment issues. I agree some clarity should be forthcoming, sooner rather than later, to halt the speculation and lift the fans for crucial games ahead. With the temporary board now in-situ matters should, I hope, escalate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not an unreasonable request, everything at Hornets seems to be subjudicy, not every supporter is a member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a surprising reply.that sums up all that is wrong with Rochdale Hornets, a closed shop.run by clandestine members, is every supporter a member? I think not .No wonder rumours are abound, whatever happened to the days of a board of directors appearing in a club programme.....another extinct relic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you'd have been at the meeting you could have put yourself forward to actually be on the interim board and also pumped in some finance yourself, even if was only the £40 membership fee. As I understand it 10 new people did join on the night bringing a nice £400 bonus for the club. As the new interim board have only been in place a dog watch I think it's reasonable not to expect too much too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have previously asked how to become a member and just got vague replys. Still doesn't answer the question of those supporters who can't afford to pay £40 but still want to know what the st up of the current board is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if the club dont want to engage with joe public, potential suporters or even casual spectators, nor do they want to enable them to become members I worry seriously about the future of the club. Thats an appaling attitude. Membership is about having a say in how the club is run, not being the only folks to have access to basic information about the club. And you wonder why folks are being turned off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excolt 1 Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Just ring the club for membership. Its £40 for 12 month or silver membership is £10 a month which i pay through standing order. I dont know the gold fee. You dont get anything for your money except a vote on any members meeting and discount in the club shop. This gives the club a steady income as against a game being cancelled and no income so the mire members the better. At the moment there seems to me a power struggle going on, hopefully this will now be resolved. My reason for assuming this is the way the two peole who held the members meeting seemed aggressive toward the Chairman, not just my opinion. Everyone wants Hornets to thrive and unity is the only way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are quite right it is not just you that came away from the meeting disgusted at the disgraceful way that the Chairman was treated - bullying - and an investigation should be held - but not an internal cover up.

shadrak Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I also agree, both of them not only disrespected the chairman, but Durant showed a complete lack of respect for the guy who has bankrolled the club for the last ten years, commenting "WHO'S HE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the team manager, as an employee of the club, I don't understand how he is allowed to get involved with board matters? If he is also a paying member, then surely there is some conflict of interest. Really sad to hear of his disrespect toward the Chairman and Paul Ormerod.
