He even changed his mind which party to represent when the Liberals went on the slide. His puppet masters at Hornets will be pulling his strings now. Success does not consists in never making blunders,but in never making the same one the second time. https://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/rochdalehornets/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His constituents seem to like him and I must admit he appears very popular at Hornets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know them to well as indeviduals but that's irrelevant, how the meeting was conducted and how some of the members and the board reacted to being questioned told me a lot. As for as the difficulties the club are facing I hope they do well and I hope I am wrong, but you can only judge people on what you see and what I saw on saterday was not good.

Can't disagree with that Lad, but as I have stated many times the elected board was voted for before the meeting,the invigilators were independent and endorsed by the membership.

Packer Spout Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 The floor of the meeting voted 20 odd to 6 for a 6 man board - without any proxy votes or postal, what is wrong here a vote was won by the floor of the AGM - water tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people had walked out in disgust by then. I would have thought they would have been the ones originally intending to vote for the 9 man board. There must have been 60 to 70 people at the meeting. What about all the members that weren't there ? They didn't get a vote at all. This is really a red herring anyway, it was totally against the rules to have a show of hands in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moorside roughyed Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 A really sad thread this is. I know I'm a roughyed but seriously, lower league rugby league is on its last legs. Over in Oldham their are some of us that fear it's only a matter of time before things come to a close. I truly hope this doesn't happen to either club. No more A627m el classico isn't a thought I like to think about. As rugby league fans we've got to support each other regardless of what club we follow.

A situation partly fuelled by “rumours (leaks?)” about funding post the next tv deal. This has to be addressed very urgently by all clubs below Super League, with their collective hands around the RFL throats to secure a structure to benefit the whole game. It certainly won’t be solved in this thread! Meantime, Hornets has to come together as a club. Hopefully with a team that can help end this dreadful season with a few wins and that will be competing in whatever emerges thereafter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Almighty Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 In reality Mr Rush should have done the decent thing and fallen on his sword. His tenure as chair has been a disaster, splitting the club off the field, and on the playing side he’s already on his third coach in little over a year and the team performance the worst since the dark days of 2007 & 2008. We need to re-capture what the club showed it was capable of during the previous 10 years. Strong, open leadership, a culture of building a winning team and people feeling included. As a gesture the new board should co-opt the three members who missed out when the goalposts were moved at the AGM. These actions will go some way to repairing the damage the AGM did to the club.

Mr Rush a disaster, splitting the club? Hardly..... a large percentage of the membership are clearly supporting him and perhaps if one or two people had been a little more respectful toward him and Paul Ormerod, we may not have had the chaos of the AGM last Saturday and also had the balanced board you suggest. Sadly age is against Mr Rush who has served Hornets and the town in general well, I think he should stand down at the end of the season, for no other reason than his personal health and well being, who wants to take very personal abuse at 80+ from people who should be supporting you and who quite frankly lost a lot of membership support over their antics at a previous members meeting.

And on the subject of lack of respect I don't hear you having a problem when hard working volantiers were disrespected. Again i have to wonder why people like you have a problem with some disrespectful behaviour shown to some but not others. 15 hours ago, Athleticgrounds said: I think he should stand down at the end of the season, for no other reason than his personal health and well being, who wants to take very personal abuse at 80+ from people who should be supporting you Why should people support him if they don't agree with him?

I am not talking about people's reaction to last week's AGM, the personal stuff was at a previous members meeting as I have stated at the end of my post and which you have conveniently chosen not to include. Details of that meeting and what was said, have been previously documented on this forum. My suggestion to you is to speak to Mr Rush, the odd time I have spoken to him he seems very approachable whether you're agree with him or not.

You are a terrific political beast I haven't a clue what you want out of it all. How do you see the future Packer? Where do you see Hornets in 3 years Packer? Do you think 40 pounds was good value Packer? Where do you stand on brexit by the way? I was a remainer for my sins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on which Mr rush we are talking about I have spoken to him on match days briefly and he seems fine, but at the meeting we were not seeing eye to eye and I saw a very different side to him one I think is the true side as it is easy to be nice when nothing is happening but difficult to be nice to someone you disagree with. As chairman that is a trate you need and one I feel Mr Rush is lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole business has got out of hand I think, somehow both sides of the whole scenario need to sit down, with a mediator Gareth Walker?.for the good of Hornets as a club.As I have previously stated why would you want all this aggro at 80+ years, Mr Rush should resign in September then as suggested by another forum member, take an ambassadorial role.

Larry Jones Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Brexit is less complicated than Hornets. You have the intellectual element against the Jack boot element and nothing except Packer in the middle. Rush is to be honest is a typical town politician they love having a title, but have little to offer and everything to gain. "Have you seen councillors expenses" Gavin for CEO within 3 months? With PO that could have worked. RAFC will be watching like a hawk, can't pay won't pay on standby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
