Well Society Consultion: Active Investment

[dennyc]

Poorly thought out that there was no link to the voting process within the society App or on the web site. At least that I could find? As wellfan says it appears the only way to vote was by accessing a link contained in just one of numerous communications. So easy for dinosaurs like me to misplace or delete. In all the reminder EMails I wonder why no-one thought to include the link?  In truth I just gave up. I suspect others did as well. 

No surprise that the motion passed given the low turnout and the effort that was put in to pushing the 'yes' agenda. I do hope Society funds don't disappear into the new training ground facility or some vanity project that brings little or no tangible return to the Club.

As a sceptical Society Member I tend to agree with Spiderpig. I remain to be convinced that the whole change of approach was not driven by the Club Board as a means of accessing cheap finance. Essential that all funds redirected are secured by being added to the existing Loan amount and do not disappear by way of Donation. The Society's silence on issues that have affected fans this season as well as costing the Club thousands does little to convince me of their Independence.

Im not a member either..., i suspect that very few if any people knew the vote was happening.

Not being funny, but any member should have known it was happening thanks to the above-mentioned email barrage (even if they couldn't then track down the one with the voting link in it ) and anyone who wasn't a member didn't really need to know it was happening because it was nothing to do with them.

I was merely commenting on the post as presented, and the preceived optics of the result and turnout figures posted.

As you say for any non members  the WS business or votes etc, has  feck all to do with them, but we are entitled to express our opinions on how we see the WS as an organisation, and more often than not those views i see tend to re-enforce my descision not to be a member.
