I also looked at several american footy web sites ie my fav/Chicago Bears. They have history, former playing strip, the list goes on. It is worth a look.

Well done Bob for coming back online here. Great to see candidates reaching out to people in many different ways, seeking their opinions as well as sharing their own.

I hope that it can happen in a semi-regular fashion in some way in the future once the new Board is elected, whatever its composition.

No real questions left from me.... There's still a few other candidates I'd like to hear something from off their own bat, to decide my final few votes. But best of luck on Sunday.

So you would accomodate something like what the Bears have to outwebsite? that would be a start, changes need to be made, the website is as inspirational as Wally from Fairstar computers.

Bears are loosers though, should visit the Bills website, oh wait:(

P eel, one of the things we want to look at is the possibility of seasoned ticket holders becoming members of the footy club. We want to give out of towners a say in the voting process. We want to give all footy club members photo ID.

Ron, we have so many resources in the Eels family that I am sure we can have the best web site of any footy team no matter what code.

Works for me Bob - surely some of the season ticket holders would want to be involved more?? Perhaps they don't know how?? I know that it took me a few years to figure out - i did not know where to start..
Good luck Bob - put up the fight.

Parra pete, maybe you should be asking Denis can he work with Ray because you could believe that he has intense dislike for him

Did you get reelected in 97 Bob? What about Pricey, why did he stand down?
Could Brett work with Fitzy - Their dislike of the bloke is intense - and personal. It goes beyond football it seems to me.
What happens if Bert and Ray get elected, in a minority, and the personal dislike comes through? Will the sh*t hit the fan then?

Pete just one question, have you ever worked with a bloke for whom hated oneanother? i have, it's tough, however it can be done.

How do you perceive the state of the football Club NOW?
Are you happy with the playing roster, the coaching situation, the depth?
Would you get rid of any of the players...and who would you bring in?
What would you do to make the CLUB better, apart from getting Ray Price, Brett Kenny and Guru turn back the clock and pull on the boots again.....

Parra pete, no I did not get reelected in 97, looking back my campaign was not the best, I have learnt from that. Ray was on the board before my time.
As far as my running mates working with Denis none of us have a problem working with him. We all love this club. Our campaign has never been personal with any one of the current board. You say that Ray and Bert have a problem with Denis I do not believe that is the case but again you should be asking Denis about his problem with the guys because after all when we are successful it will be because of democrcy

Very uncomfortable all around, and doesn't make for a happy workplace.
I was an employer for the last 25 years of my working life, so I tended not to employ people that couldn't fit in...

pete i work daily with people i dont like, hell no hi or goodbyes, yet we still work together and get things done and achieve results, it's not as hard as what you and others are making out, believe me.

It is common knowledge of their intense dislike of each other.

Parra pete, we fully support Daniel Anderson. We also realize that the NRL team is controlled by the Leagues club. Some of our ideas we would hope they (Leagues club board) will take on board.

I am not suggesting that they all go out to get on the drink together, but they are all grown men and I am sure the legends can put it all behind them

Guys in all our campaign material we have not mentioned individuals of the current board. I know most of them personally they are good people. We believe that the board is stale in their approach.
We have not and do not want to get into a mud slinging match that is not good for the club.
