Frankie 8,552 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 Just to say I'll be offline for the next few hours. I'll try and get back on this evening to answer any other questions. However, the best things to take from the meeting are as such: 1. Genuine supporters representation at last. 2. A lowering of the GerSave price. 3. A commitment from the chairman (ie finance and leadership). 4. A commitment to better PR and media interaction. 5. Debate about developing the stadium and club. 6. Further Improvements at Youth level. 7. The Trust to meet with Head of Security to debate policing and match-day experience. 8. Club to put pressure on JJB to improve their service. Not bad going from one meeting. And we'll continue to offer more over the coming weeks. Let's be positive! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 They are all good things to have Frankie. However, I have trouble believing point #3 - "A commitment from the chairman (ie finance and leadership)." We have been told this before and have not really seen it put into motion. The old adage "actions speak louder than words" most definitely applies to that particular statement from SDM. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie 8,552 Posted July 4, 2007 Author Share Posted July 4, 2007 I agree with you guys. The proof will be in the pudding. Murray has 2 months to deliver the investment we all want to see. If he doesn't, well.... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I agree with you guys. The proof will be in the pudding. Murray has 2 months to deliver the investment we all want to see. If he doesn't, well.... Well.... we will continue to parade the no cost players while Mr Murray enjoys his Ch�¢teau Margaux while thinking up the bullshit for January. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ascender 352 Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Like you say Frankie, its a big few months for DM as he has to deliver on some of these statements. I might be getting way ahead of myself, but have the Trust discussed what stance they're going to take if things don't improve this season, be it on or off the pitch? The only other thing I'd say from the minutes is that DM believes Mediahouse and staff have done a good job "firefighting" media stories about our club and fans. I'd say they've done a pretty poor job again and would have to questions why they're still being employed by the club. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,552 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Share Posted July 5, 2007 ascender: Yes, alternative strategies have been discussed. However, I maintain the best way for us to affect change is to get at least one fans rep on the executive board. That will happen soonest. I personally feel the media issue hasn't been as bad as say 18months - 2 years ago. However, we'll continue to ensure work is done for further improvement. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
