Not sure plumbers have the ability to make water potable, if he were Jesus maybe?.....
I suspect that is actually the real reason, if its potable it has to be metered
The club are most certainly on mains supply and metered, they have done a couple of joint partnerships with Thames Water down the years, the most recent being 3 years ago where they allegedly saved millions of litres of water a year. |

Let's face it Doughty isn't a real Chief Sustainability Officer, or we'd be all over proper schemes like this. He's no more than dear old Zav Austin: a matchday guest. Not quite sure why Doughty went along with the charade to be honest.

Doughty being involved has always looked like a marriage of convenience. A way of him being able to raise the profile of his business and we get to use some fancy in vouge words for marketing purposes.

The elephant in the room is not addressed, unless ctrl+f for "shares" and "ownership" has let me down. I suppose the meeting was probably held before it all kicked off, but does give the whole thing a bit of a vibe of Chernobyl Town Council reporting on local road closures and plans for the village fete.
Very few updates to any of the key points, some nice bits about the STFC Museum which will rather get lost in the shuffle.

 It really is a tinpot document now. Gets worse every month. One page we have sold 4,900 season tickets, the next it is 5,000. 'county ground' without capital letters, etc etc. PLEASE STOP DOING THIS! |

This is my favourite part Football Association Investigation
The Club has been charged with a breach of the FA's funding regulations relating to the previous owner and alleged funding relationships he had in place. The Club will defend its position and likely plead mitigation given that Clem had no knowledge of these arrangements, and the Club is now being run in an open, transparent and proper manner.  |

The bit about Season Tickets I *think* is untrue.
"Season tickets - so many went missing in the post last year, we opted for collections this year. Emails were sent out but we can only send them to people who have opted into the tickets marketing emails due to GDPR. We did have postage requests which we have dealt with"

Also the bit about the disabled tickets, doesn't seem to be particularly answered in a very warm and fuzzy way -
Q - There needs to be a system where disabled members can buy tickets online without having to wait
over an hour to call the ticket line. You can’t buy a carer ticket online, even if you have a season ticket
A - if we put them online, anyone will be able to buy them and unfortunately, we do have the minority who take advantage of this
I can see the angle the club are coming from, but surely this is the same with Under 18 tickets as well as over 65s? I mean if people are buying disabled tickets when they are not disabled, that's pretty disgusting. Surely the abuse of the other age groups is more prevalent?

The response to cashless parking and potential discrimination to old timers who love cash money was poor

A lot of the responses should be "Yeah, nice idea in theory but it's too much effort. Sorry."
