Fishy and Gronk, instead of being negative, why not front up at the club 12 o'clock Saturday, and front us in person and ask the questions that are troubling you. Ovo is a mate, and always will be, but what has he told you on line? He loves the club...which we all knew, and the losses the club has sustained. There is no game plan, no future plan, no 5 year plan for the club or the NRL side. Apparenetly Fitzi has one for the next 12months, but we have not sighted as yet. You are both supporters of Denis, and that is fine, as he is a legend of the club,as a player and administrator, and I have been a supporter of him for many years, but it is time for new direction for the Parramatta Leagues Club, and the Eels. You have to vote for what you believe, and we respect that, but if you have an honest look around the joint, it cannot continue down this path. Ovo put on line yesterday what should happen at the leagues club, and he did not care who did it, 3P or incumbents, but everything he mentioned was what his board ripped out of the joint. If our group did not put forward this challenge, these issues would not even be discussed, as the same old company spiel would been jambed down the supporters and members throats AGAIN for another 2 years. You have both brought up about distrusting spokes persons for 3P...whats the problem?? Is it not a good thing that a representive can talk with you on line, or at a function organised for supporters, training sessions, trial games..when in the past have you had that luxury apart from Ovo seeing you guys occassionally.
Please dont make assumptions, come and find out the answers for yourself and have an informed opinion for the future of this club. We all want one thing, and that is success for this club, so find out as much information as you can from both sides, and then make your decision for your club. One thing 3P has done is wake the joint up...we have changed it forever even if we lose, as the patrons and members of this club will make the board and management accountable from this day on....is that not in everyones interest. Hopefully see you blokes on Saturday.

PS Fishy......it's LEABEATER.....cheers mate.

Once again, a personal invitation by a group of people trying to move this club forward, rather than the stagnant and in house views of the mob presently running the joint.
There is a chance here for EVERYBODY to get down to the club to voice ANY views they may have regarding 3P, the club and it's future (besides, unfortunately, those like Carson and those who are a distance away, where physically, it's not possible).

It's all well and good to sit here and ask questions of fellow League Unlimited members, but if you want the answers from 3P themselves, make an effort and then be the judge.

This is a very rare opportunity indeed, one which to be honest, none of us have EVER been given.

Make the most of it members, or forever hold your peace.

And to Mits, I'm surprised you have not taken this opportunity tbh. For the amount of work you have put into the report, I would have thought that this was your perfect opportunity to see that as much of it as possible gets put into place.

Sigh,

Suity, to re-iterate. I am done mate. It is over. I am moving on with my next goal which is my health.

There have been many times over the last few days in this and other threads for me to jump in an be pedantic and get on peoples nerves, but I have decided not to, I am as I have stated focused on gaining my health.

At or around the time of the meeting though I will most probably be on the road to Wollongong to watch our Junior Representative teams Trial at WIN stadium.

I am referring to the ongoing activities of the board.

Ok, so you don't think board members should take advice from anyone once elected... but isn't that supposedly the problem we have with the current board? They don't listen to the members?

I am confused with what you are trying to say...

imo - the issue is not whether they should or shouldn't have other ppl advising and helping - but more are they able to properly take part in board meetings without having to go back and run things by the "advisors" .... i dunno - it just seems the driving force and brains trust of 3P aren't actually the board members

Have you been to any of the meetings? Just because Col is the one most online here doesn't necessarily make him the 'driving force' of 3P. Suffice it to say the other guys aren't particularly internet savvy ;-)

I really don't think I am being that confusing. I have no problem with the board taking advice from others - all boards do. It is in the same way that a board appoints an accountancy firm for financial advice for example. BUT - it should be the whole board taking the advice as one common entity - not as 2 groups.

I know that is not going to happen in this instance - and that is what concerns me. I wont call them puppets - yet.....................!

So I take it we won't be seeing you on this board again?
Such a shame, considering the hard work you put in, not to see it through, but your health always comes first.

If you are worried about the board being two entities, maybe that says more about the incumbant members, than the new ones.
Aren't they ALL supposed to be working as a team of 7?
It wouldn't hurt Johnson, Hilditch and Gerard to actually hear what the people want to say for a change.
