They need 100 signatures of eligible members - so they may get a good start on that number at this meeting.

Its a little more complicated then that, you have to be financial by a certain date to eligible to vote even if you have only been a member for 3 years. There are a number of guys on this forum who have been members for many years but can't vote

I'm not sure what I find funnier- the people already spending Tinkler's millions on players and coaching staff before the terms of agreement were even reached, or the fact that Tinkler also had his eye trained too far in the future by changing the Jets playing strip to the "Newcastle" colours.

One thing is for sure- this whole episode has been a debacle since it first started to be played out in the media all those months ago.

But at least we have the next month of off-field distractions to look forward to. Tinkler will be back with a vengeance with his scope set squarely on Tew and Burraston. I can't see how those two will see the season out, regardless of the final outcome. And this I am sad about- I don't see their actions as self-preservation. They were screwed if Tinkler got into power and screwed if he didn't. I think they just wanted to leave the club in the best situation possible before they moved on, and I don't think they'll get that chance now.

Get to the meeting at the Mark Hotel Lambton, at 6.00pm. If they have enough members there will be a vote of no confidence of the Board and if they get 100 vote fore, the board will be stood down.
As of 6-45 pm there are 29 signatures (source.. talking sport )

Hopefully they'll get that easily..

Although membership of the 'Gang of Four' is flexible, the core membership would have to be Perverse, Macavity, Apey and Joey Show..

Take a bow guys, your opposition to better times has been heard...

Even if the 100 sigs are acquired all that can happen is that an EGM can be called, then you need 75% of eligible members to move a vote of no confidence in the board.

I am great believer in patience, I am sure this will turn out for the best. Tinkler didnt make his millions, without rocking the boat sometimes. Tomorrows another day.

The Gang of Four must be pleased with themselves..

I think you're taking this forum a bit too seriously mate

So I understand the Tinkler offer better can I clarify:
Tinkler said he would cover the shortfall in revenue up to 10million per annum. So if the knights revenue was 8 million in a year he would put in 2 million??
What happens if knights income per year is 11 million
