Title: Fans Meeting - Tonight
Post by: Samdy Gray on Monday, October 15, 2007, 07:34:32
Just a little heads up for those that might have forgotten. 8pm. GW Bar.

Do we know if there's going to be an agenda and is it being chaired? Or is it just being thrown open to the floor?

I would imagine Paul D / Trust will chair it as if it is just thrown open to floor then there will be no control or anything decided constructively

Good I was hoping that. I just had this thought of the meeting descending into chaos.

Yes, we will be chairing the meeting, if nothing else to ensure that everyone who wants to has a chance to be heard.

Expect a good number to show tonight.  A lot of people have been asking via the net/groups etc. what is being planned for Saturday.  Potential to be a good turnout!

We can't do an email vote prior to the meeting for precisely that reason. However if you're not able to get to the meeting and have a point you wish to make, PM or email me ([email protected]) and we'll make sure your view is put across.

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend because of alcohol in my system by 8pm.
In future can these meetings be made on Saturday mornings match days. I know this meeting had to be called quickly and on this occasion you could not do much about the timing. A lot of fans live a fair distance from Swindon and have no chance attending a midweek evening session which will probably not end until around 10pm.

Unless i can bring a child i cant go either, but im sending my boyfriend in my place!
Hopefully there will be a nice someone there to come home and post all that is relevent for us that cant attend, as boyfriends are very unreliable when there is beer involved.

I'm going but I've only got £6 left, so if I make some brilliant points during the meeting (like it's time for a break) will someone shout me a few pints?

Oh and I've got a proposal to support our fellow protesters in Burma; an exchange program; we send over Gary Stanley and they send us one of their awesome Buddhist monks. I reckon we'd be getting a bargain.

But dosen't Stanley look like a Buddhist monk anyway ?

Trouble is STFC may exchange Bowden for some Burma Milita if we do that  :?

I could go if I pulled out of my darts match and drove down there, but to be honest I don't think I'd bring much to the debate and wouldn't even be able to drink because of the drive.

I'm happy to go with anything that's decided on tonight.

Mark Clemence, alias Clem. The lower league expert chap who did the 92 club a while back. To be fair he seemed to know quite a bit about it and gave Tony more than just a few sentences to make his points. Good interview.
