I know this might surprise some Suity, but fair dinkum mate, whoever implements it, the better. If the current board want to do it, good on em. If not and they win the leagues club election, well then they would want to get it done, or potentially bye bye in 2 years more time. If they do it and we win, then well good on them for getting the ball rolling. If they don't do it and we get in, then we need to get it done or otherwise we are just as bad and potentially bye bye to us.
In all reality, I am the same as everyone else. I want change and I want it now. It would please me no end, if the people currently in power would at least start to listen and act. We are not going to just wait to get into power before trying to get things implemented now.
On another note, I'm not really that worried Suity. I believe the current boards response to whatever is posted here is the following.
1) They won't even know about it, apart from Ovo who is the only one that actually does care.
2) I don't believe that Ovo could possibly get it approved at board level because the Leagues Club board already seems to have a lot of inhouse fighting issues preventing them from doing anything at this point in time it seems.
3) If it did get to board level, a majority would rule against it anyway and say that if it does not include pokies, chinese fortune cookies or dim sims, then they are not interested. The attitude will be to tell the Crown and Rose about it and keep away from the casino.
4) They are not going to cater for individuals that they believe currently cripple their business whenever they attend the club. It scares people away don't forget.
If they do act, good on them. If they don't. WE WILL.
And by the way Parra Pete since you love sayings so much. Heres one from Elvis for you.
" A LITTLE LESS CONVERSATION, A LITTLE MORE ACTION PLEASE".
I've met Pierre years ago, good bloke but he wouldn't remember me. I understand he and Julia are closely aligned in the internal politics of it all. It may well be that he is a Parra fan, or at the very least understands the importance of sport to the fabric and livelihood of a region.There is a counciller within the Lachlan Macquarie ward who has been extremely nice towards 3P so far to date. I am sure that he would not mind being named on here due to his efforts so far. His name is Pierre Esber and he is the Deputy Lord Mayor. Maybe we need to see if he can be of assistance with the above.
YOU got on the board? - or are you the jockey steering the horse. Power behind the throne so to speak..

It is easy to make statements like that without proof. This is a public forum and I think a statement like that could be defamatory..but I am no lawyer..'whispering campaigns'...pssst ---pass it on..Next thing it becomes real in everyone's mind.
Do you have ANY proof the Board is infighting..The statement could be interpreted by a fair minded person as meaning the LC Board is not competent to make decisions affecting the running of the Club. Is it a FACT - or is it early politicing?
so where would this car park be built?
Fish,
See post 16. I'm not sure whether it is achievable or not, but could be an idea.
Yeah Pete, I think we have acheived a few things, lets think for a minute shall we.
1) We actually READ the report that was done from people from this forum.
2) We actually came onto this forum and COMMUNICATED.
3) We actually INVITED people to come to our meetings and LISTENED to what they had to say about what they believed to be problems.
4) We actually put together a BUSINESS PLAN (whats that I here the current mob say??) for the moving forward of the club
5) We actually stated that we believed the CLUB WILL BE AROUND IN 5 YEARS time if RUN CORRECTLY.
6) We held informal get-togethers during this current month to make ourselves AVAILABLE to the supporters and again gave the opportunity for two way COMMUNICATION.
oh yeah and maybe the small little point below,
7) and not least, we ran and WON the Football Club Elections.
In regards to the Bill Cosby line, I stopped trying to please alot of people along time ago and concentrated on staying sane and keeping focuses on winning and creating change. Something we wanted this thread to be about. Apart from renaming Parramatta Stadium back to Cumberland Oval, what changes do you want Pete?
Your possible answer being Parra Future being gone from this website is not funny either...... :lol:
1) Obviously it was read by the present board and things have improved since. Admittedly, perhaps not enough. You shouldnt get extra kudo's for having read it and simply implying the others didnt. Cheap shot.
2) Correct you did come here and communicate. Just how many "informative" posts have been made by those recently elected to the board? Did you do the rounds of every forum or just this one where you obviously knew there was a vested interest due to the work of Hellsy and co promoting membership? Didn't see anything on any other boards/forums.
3) Yes you invited people to your meetings. Strategically, you invited people from this forum. Strategically, you invited those that post often and whose views here are respected. Strategically, you invited and pleased those who have the biggest influence on people here, obviously helping your cause. Not a slight on you. Good tactics. Well done.
4) I could write a business plan for a lemonade stall out the front of my house. That doesnt mean that it is any good. Are you suggesting that the current board dont have a business plan? What is your point if not this?
5) Mr Fitzgerald also stated that he believes the club will be around in 5 years. Surprisingly, that quote didnt seem to be newsworthy in the Daily Telegraph. Ofcourse he couldn't guarantee it. Nothing is guaranteed. I note that you avoid using the word guarantee in your list above. Yourselves and DF feel the exact same way on this point. Cheap shot.
6) Your informal get togethers are nothing but pep rallies for your future endeavours. Similar to Obamas and McCains fund racing dinners during their campaign. Yet, you bag the crap out of the current board on here. Tell everyone how useless they are and then continue to stir the masses when they dont turn up to YOUR pep rally. You still want them to turn up and have a cordial discussion with you and help your campaign after your comments about them on here. Its a bit much if you ask me.
Certainly not the type of person/s I do business with.
7) Yes, yes you did. congratulations.
I think what pete was asking is this. What heave YOU personally done. I assume that he is talking of your role of official 3p fan liason officer. You are the most important part of the 3p campaign, Col. You are the one who has the task of keeping the LU members happy. You simply cannot win without them. I am sure that you realise this.
Are you giving off the best possible appearance for your group with some of the comments you have made lately? Remembering that without the 3 musketeers you would all just be random names on a ballot paper. Can you tell me, are the footy players string puppets or do you physically have to put your hand up their arse?
That may be all well and good, whoever you are, but if the current board lose the LC election, which they may well do, will you then try and assist in any way possible the new administration, to help this club move forward and progress and survive, or will you still post as anonymous, with a pessimistic tone and negative attitude towards everything, to try and bring the new administration undone, to the detriment of the club as a whole?
Suity
Refer to post 17.so where would this car park be built?
The example was Wests Tigers Ashfield, where the main street through Ashfield is pretty slow going at any time.Someone mentioned Wests Tigers....Victoria Rd can cope with much more traffic than O'Connell/Fennell/Grose St.
