That’s correct, I am.

Only 2 Garners will know when the minutes are going to be released, I’ll see them when everyone else does.

@K-Hod according to his post in the other thread, O2G does not know but concludes it will probably take a while.

The question isn't when you will see the minutes. You attended on behalf of the forum members. You already know what was said but are choosing to keep it from your members.

More than enough time has passed.

Regardless whether or not the delay is from the club or the chair, it is not acceptable to take this long to update members / fellow supporters.

Please tell us the Number of STs sold which was given at the meeting.

Unless the subject was not broached.

[OldEwoodBlue]

@only2garners whilst we wait for the chair to get round to it, please can you tell your fellow forum members and fellow Rovers fans, simply the number of STs which were reported sold.

Please just type the number.

Thanks.

To put you out of your misery there is no figure in the minutes as no one asked the question. I’m relaxed about that because it would have been a meaningless figure whatever it was

Why not say that then as opposed to deliberately keeping everyone hanging in suspense?

Because it is a long held policy on the Forum and the norm in most organisations to wait until the minutes are issued before discussing them. As you will remember Simon from when you were on the Forum.

It was, I can’t reveal what the answer was until the minutes are released though.

If it’s not covered in those, I can tell you exactly what was said.

So that's directly contrary to what 02g is now saying.

I tend to believe you rather than him on this, would you care to elaborate on what was said?

Come off it John, If the numbers sold at that point weren't discussed at the meeting then you're not breaching any confidences or etiquette by saying that.

As posted above, KHod said some time ago the number sold at that point WAS revealed to the Forum. 

Which is it?

Jesus Christ some of you don't half get your knickers in a twist over these fans forum minutes.

I'm not sure why, it's not like there's ever been any bombshells of information dropped in these meetings.

As for the season ticket numbers sold, that's a moot point now as numerous people have caved and renewed, so the only relevant numbers will be the ones at the end of the summer.

[Mattyblue]

Exactly, poor K-Hod 😄
 

There hadn’t even been a meeting since November (very poor from the regime, but what else is new), so a few extra days for the minutes? 🤷‍♂️

[OldEwoodBlue]

@K-Hod It appears O2G now has gone full on protcting the regime, saying ST numbers were not discussed and are not in the minutes. 

Therefore please now confirm the number as per your earlier committment to do so.

So, because someone I don't know on a message board is hounding me to reveal information- information which I was asked to keep quiet until the release of the minutes as per usual procedure, I should break long-established policy?

It's still a no from me. Please leave me alone.

That number is now as relevant as last season’s frankly…

No.

Because you attend to represent BRFCS members.

And because you specifically said that you would.

I'd hazard a guess at them saying initial sales are encouraging despite the current economic climate making things difficult for some people. There'll be some figures comparing our prices to other clubs in the league too. That will be it, so not sure why you're so arsed OEB. I've never read the minutes and though "corrr I didn't know that!". How much of the discussion is excluded though I've no idea.

Something I am surprised is being kept under wraps (to my knowledge, haven't seen it mentioned, yet) is that the ground needs some fire safety work completing by the end of the year to protect the steel. Its an expensive job, into the millions I'm told. You'd expect that's going to be done between June and August when nobody is attending. Maybe it's being kept in reserve as an excuse for not spending in the transfer market pre season 🤔

Am I correct in thinking that work wouldn’t affect Ffp?

The Raos should pay for that work, no question. 
 

Some would call that an “investment”. I’d call it basic duty of care by an owner. 

[MarkBRFC]

The hounding for the minutes or answers to questions is very strange.

I'm sure they will be out soon enough, and if the answer isn't in there then I'm sure K-Hod will provide it.

If a number was mentioned I must have missed it, which is always possible. It was a challenging meeting to take minutes at because there were a lot of people there so it was sometimes difficult to hear everything said at the far end of the table. I have just had a look at the minutes I took and I do not have any numbers, or rather there were a lot of numbers but not the one you're looking for.

[glen9mullan]

I did hear from a couple of attendees that the FF was quite a heated one this time with some extremely heated exchanges at times.

I believe @K-Hod did the brfcs members extremely proud as did some others in posing the real issues.

How much makes the minutes I'm unsure , but I'm confident the real issues were put on the table.

What the said answers were I dunno and won't break confidences in the format/setting.

You have my sympathys. It’s a bloody difficult job at the best of times. 
 

And you aren’t even getting paid for your trouble. 
 

Thanks for your (and KHods and however else I've missed) efforts dealing with these people. You’ve more patience than me.
