Some good sentiment and salient points being aired on this thread.

Surely questions should be raised or concerns muted.

The CEO is employed by the board and fresh out of college as a CEO, I don’t know enough about his contribution thus far or non- contribution (according to some supporters).

His employment is down to one of our directors meeting him along his educational path and believing him worthy.

Geoff Gadie resigned as a director on 25th June 2025. We now have another person appointed vice-president again known to one director.

Several knowledgeable local businessmen are grateful for the club being saved as are we the ordinary and everyday fans are.

However they are raising their eyebrows over a lack of business plan and the fact that several income streams are still not under the clubs own umbrella i.e catering and bars.

The club was saved by generous donations from many quarters certainly among the more affluent fans and supporters with their own
businesses.

That pot is running dry and some of those aforementioned are critical about what they see as a one way street, with the club taking but not giving back.

Some businessmen who helped have been pushed out altogether, whether that was justifiable or not again I cannot say.

We have been saved yes, and we are grateful yes, but one failing was of us being critical of previous owners and aiming criticism their way, but not really pushing them for important information.

So yes after nearly two years, where is the business plan for sustainability, where are the accounts for the previous 656 days, and what is the mission statement for our club with a realistic timetable to achieve it?

No it does not mean I am ungrateful nor does it mean I am anti-board or anti any single one director. Nor does it mean I wish to know the ins and outs of recent history.

What it does mean is I am interested in the future longterm security of our club, and what if as an ordinary fan I can do to help and assist or even know if I can help make a difference to secure that future.

At the moment outside of four people we are mushrooms, being kept in the dark and very possibly being fed on shit.

Business plan and accounts please as we are entitled as stakeholders.
