Football Club Members ?

[White Poiner]

No.

When or if i move to cronlla or closer, i will join.
But no real point now.

Been a general member for two years and gave me footy club membership this year but I'm sure you guys that know say I can't vote for another year.

[imasharkie]

It has been posted that its a possibility around May???

 

[groggo]

yes both me and sharkette are football club members of the sharks

 

[shark_girl]

Not a member of either, seems pointless given that I live in Townsville. I desperatly want to have a say in how this club is run, but it's hard to do living so far away. I will be living in Sydney in 3.5 years, then I will be both a club and football member

We need to clarify this. As a financial member of the Leagues Club you can vote for the Leagues Club board of directors who just happen to be the same as the Football Club board of directors at this present time. (this is where it gets confusing) You have to have been a financial Football Club member for three years to vote for the Football Club board.

Why the three years? Probably to prevent 'johhny come lately' turning up at the election with a mob of newly signed members who's only motivation is to overturn one or more incumbent board members.

Scenario: The Leagues Club board is voted out in the next election. They still retain their place on Football Club board until re-elected or voted out at the next Football club agm (or visa versa).

In other words they are two different entities.

Anyway thats my spin on it.

I really think that in this electronic age the football club needs to get with the times and encourage as many members as possible and give them access to voting via the Internet. You can bank on the net. Surely security would not be a problem. All candidates could put forward their case on the official website. If they wish to conduct their campaign by emailing members they should be given full access to the members email addresses. Its up to the members whether they choose to receive emails from anyone so what harm can it do?

Prospective candidates could conduct their campaign in more traditional ways such as doing the rounds throughout the shire doing the meet and greet, kissing babies and working the crowd. The current board have become so smug the average Sharks supporter has no idea who they are. I would like to see some youthful enthusiasm. A revolution. We need a Lenin!

The next football club agm is sometime in May 2007. Unless there is a revolution.

It's in their interest to have "low key" elections, so there is no way that the current mob of windbags would ever go for that.

NO they are the one board - there is a misconception out there.

In other words they are two different entities.

I dont think it would be a bad thing if the leagues club/football club have two seperate boards.

Ok, Big Barry has done well to get the 9million dollar grant and have the development proposal pushed through. But, was this done through his repsonsibility as Leagues club chairman or football club chairman???

My point is that perhaps the board are ok at the running the leagues club. But their handling of football club matters is nothing short of diabolical. I believe the two boards should be a seperate entity in line with most other NRL clubs.

 

[The Popper]

Both AGM's are held on the same night. I think Leagues Club first then non football club members are asked to leave, then football club.
Another point:
Badly handled football club matters can also effect the Leagues Club. When a club is doing well the crowds turn up...drink, play pokies, etc. When a club is not performing well the the numbers are diminished, thus negatively effecting club finances.

.

That's right. At present the board members of both clubs are the same people. Otherwise they are separate entities. Two separate agms.

Good point IMO. That's why clubs need to attract the best possible players and coaching staff. After the raiders game the place will revert to mediocre attendances.
