Yeeees, I think we're starting to drift towards a tendency for people who'd like some accountability and a discussion about the major issues and for the Club to stop being so economical with the verite being labelled with an 'attitude problem'. I could just as easily start labelling the cheerleading group as 'weedy sycophants' but where would that get us? Neither group has got a monopoly on truth and light.
I guess this is very much the 'glass half empty / glass half full' arguement. I just feel that if you expect something to be bad, you will see it thus. But I also take your point about weedy sychophants (although I really am quite butch!).
If the Club as an entity had any maturity at all in it's public relations, it would have been attempting to listen to some of the people who have unresolved issues rather than just dismissing them out of hand. Finch's responses to some of the emails sent from certain GPGers were disgraceful.
I have not seen these so I cannot comment. But if you, NB, have seen them, and they are unprovoked and genuinely discourteous (and not getting an answer to a question is not discourteous, just frustrating), then I retract my statement about AF not being the things you say he is.
Yes, I did arrive with a pretty good idea of how the evening would go and it lived up to my expectations.
Covered that bit.
I won't be going to the communications meeting - I doubt if they'd have me back anyway - but I'll tell you what, why don't you ask Finch whether we have enough money to get us through to the end of the season? It all comes under communications because the contradictory statements the Club has issued about it have left some of us wondering how big the money gap is and from where they are going to get the dough. Ask him where these readily identifiable streams of income are and how come we haven't tapped in to them already?
Agreed - the club do need to be 'singing off the same hymn sheet' a bit more. It does look a bit like nobody knows whats going on when such statements come out. But as I have said earlier, rather ask the question why, politely first, before upping the ante. I do feel that for a number of GPGers, AF, RK, AH etc are all swinging from the end of the rope long before the trial has even begun.
I don't expect to see any vast improvements at GP, not because the Club aren't willing but because of the money issues. I expect they are as frustrated as us with the current state of play but if BU ask them not to commit to the stadium grant, they're put in a very difficult position.
True.
