It would be one thing is there was more transparency, access and accountability throughout the year but the board are essentially unscrutinised - other than by former board members engaging in unhelpful, self-aggrandising infighting. Board will push against it. Today was perfect for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

don logan 8,237 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Was my first AGM. Bit wishy washy. Two presentations took up most of the time plus a pretty pointless chat with the manager. The questions were mostly critical but all batted away easily. Douglas Park got angsty with Club 1872 and, I think, they unfairly tried to give John Bennett a hard time. Covid guy, think it was @Assegai, got thrown out and more boos and catcalls than any of the board. Don't think the questions are hand picked. Folk just rushed to queue behind two microphones and vent their spleen. They kindly stuck on an extra "7 or 8 minutes" for more questions at the end but passed two of the extra three out to folk in the wheelchair sections, who asked about the disabled facilities. This might have been a ruse at the end. John Bennett spoke well and I thought Ross Wilson came across okay too ayro 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
esquire8 45,325 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Nothing about Greame Park. Disgraceful. Park hailed as the saviour yet made the biggest shareholder and the fans shareholding group club enemy #1 while his son gets to keep on running things with zero due diligence or scrutiny. I'd copy what @The Dudeand @STEPPS BOY posted and say we are run like a local bowling club but that would be doing a disservice to bowling clubs.

BlueAvenger 10,756 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Not long back from the AGM. 2 presentations and a Q&A with Beale took up most of the time.

How are c1872 meant to talk to members about it then? Park fucking despises the thought of c1872 having any sort of say at boardroom level. I think c1872 was a good idea that turned into a shambles with those running it. Doesn't mean that Park gets to bury them as much as possible along with the clubs biggest shareholder.

The Dude 20,027 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I've just noticed that the image of the proposed disabled development is a different plan to the one out out by the club last night, Last night's had disabled fans in the Broomloan, Copland and Sandy Jardine stand but the one presented at the AGM has two sections of 900 in the Broomloan and Copland with none in the SJ.

Johnnyem 233 Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I’m not really surprised by the AGM outcome, it’s par for the course, and I don’t think any of us are really that shocked at the lack of scrutiny. Hard hitting questions need intelligent hard hitting individuals delivering them. We have plenty of those guys, but seemingly no wants to step up when it matters most. Perhaps facing the board is an intimidating prospect for a lot of people, I know I couldn’t do it, I would probably get too flustered and start cursing like a madman.
