Yeah Pete, I think we have acheived a few things, lets think for a minute shall we.
1) We actually READ the report that was done from people from this forum.
2) We actually came onto this forum and COMMUNICATED.
3) We actually INVITED people to come to our meetings and LISTENED to what they had to say about what they believed to be problems.
4) We actually put together a BUSINESS PLAN (whats that I here the current mob say??) for the moving forward of the club
5) We actually stated that we believed the CLUB WILL BE AROUND IN 5 YEARS time if RUN CORRECTLY.
6) We held informal get-togethers during this current month to make ourselves AVAILABLE to the supporters and again gave the opportunity for two way COMMUNICATION.
oh yeah and maybe the small little point below,
7) and not least, we ran and WON the Football Club Elections.
In regards to the Bill Cosby line, I stopped trying to please alot of people along time ago and concentrated on staying sane and keeping focuses on winning and creating change. Something we wanted this thread to be about. Apart from renaming Parramatta Stadium back to Cumberland Oval, what changes do you want Pete?
Your possible answer being Parra Future being gone from this website is not funny either...... :lol:
1) Obviously it was read by the present board and things have improved since. Admittedly, perhaps not enough. You shouldnt get extra kudo's for having read it and simply implying the others didnt. Cheap shot.
2) Correct you did come here and communicate. Just how many "informative" posts have been made by those recently elected to the board? Did you do the rounds of every forum or just this one where you obviously knew there was a vested interest due to the work of Hellsy and co promoting membership? Didn't see anything on any other boards/forums.
3) Yes you invited people to your meetings. Strategically, you invited people from this forum. Strategically, you invited those that post often and whose views here are respected. Strategically, you invited and pleased those who have the biggest influence on people here, obviously helping your cause. Not a slight on you. Good tactics. Well done.
4) I could write a business plan for a lemonade stall out the front of my house. That doesnt mean that it is any good. Are you suggesting that the current board dont have a business plan? What is your point if not this?
5) Mr Fitzgerald also stated that he believes the club will be around in 5 years. Surprisingly, that quote didnt seem to be newsworthy in the Daily Telegraph. Ofcourse he couldn't guarantee it. Nothing is guaranteed. I note that you avoid using the word guarantee in your list above. Yourselves and DF feel the exact same way on this point. Cheap shot.
6) Your informal get togethers are nothing but pep rallies for your future endeavours. Similar to Obamas and McCains fund racing dinners during their campaign. Yet, you bag the crap out of the current board on here. Tell everyone how useless they are and then continue to stir the masses when they dont turn up to YOUR pep rally. You still want them to turn up and have a cordial discussion with you and help your campaign after your comments about them on here. Its a bit much if you ask me.
Certainly not the type of person/s I do business with.
7) Yes, yes you did. congratulations.
I think what pete was asking is this. What heave YOU personally done. I assume that he is talking of your role of official 3p fan liason officer. You are the most important part of the 3p campaign, Col. You are the one who has the task of keeping the LU members happy. You simply cannot win without them. I am sure that you realise this.
Are you giving off the best possible appearance for your group with some of the comments you have made lately? Remembering that without the 3 musketeers you would all just be random names on a ballot paper. Can you tell me, are the footy players string puppets or do you physically have to put your hand up their arse?
