Yet he comes out and post untrue comments, that in the eyes of at least one fan (no not me), detracted from the reputation of the current board, and was qualified with the following.
So I only hold Col to his original comments.
What did he post that was actually
untrue Mark? ](*,)
He posted a
rumour - based on something that was first mentioned to members in Dr Johnson's letter (and NOT as one would have expected in the club's Notice of AGM) - and posted a change of plans for the BBQ time.
He then posted an
opinion about the change in timing arrangements that first came to light in Dr Johnson's letter - something all of us do on here about any Eels related issue 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
To the many people that have not had the chance to attend and vote at a FC AGM, it is not clear when voting stops. You have explained your take on it since, but at the time Colin made his post, it would have been a genuine concern to many that the shift might have been so that voting ceased by 10am. There are no timings on the agenda items as listed in the notice, and no information on voting process (for the benefit of new and old members) included in that letter. More sloppy governance work from the FC I would say...
Colin was justified to make his post about it here imo. If the paid employees of the club responsible for the sending of AGM letters/material for some reason can't be made or directed by their managers to communicate information and apparent timing changes properly with their members (old and new), then imo the onus shouldn't then be placed on each individual member to have to chase up someone at the club with individual phone calls at their own expense, before being "alllowed" to form, have or express an opinion about something they have read or heard.
