To say you've got the wrong end of the stick is an understatement. He was referring to the thread that was being discussed before you and HH dragged it into the gutter.
I apologise if u think i dragged it into the gutter...but jeez louise guys give it a break and just be happy we a competing premiership club?.....would have glady chewed my right leg off not so long ago to be at our status now. Just dont get any groups who would rather be back watching leyton orient than Chelsea any given week no matter how romantic them times where thats all. peace guys
I think you maybe right Mr Galante. Perhaps one of the mods could amend the title thread. Dutch? Olm?
It's taken some time, but it looks like the suggestion for improving communication has been taken up. It's a shame the initial conversations were met with hostility, but hopefully the lessons are learned and we can move on with fans having a say in the group. A good voice far fans at the Club should be useful.
Serious question Dutch, do you think a group led by someone who, along with some if his mates, thinks the owner is a **** could or should represent the fans, or is even likely to be invited by the club to?
I have more of a problem with the committee being described as leaders than I have with any of their personal feelings toward the owner or tweets from some time back. I doubt politicians or businessmen have a high opinion of many of the people they deal with, but as long as it doesn't affect them when they represent the main group, I don't have any issues. If in the fullness of time, the dragging up of that tweet becomes an issue, I would expect Mark himself to be the one to act, and I would hope that the lines of communication would enable the members to voice their views on that too. Despite how it's ended up coming across, I'm very much behind a fans movement and I really want it to succeed. I'm clumsy in how I do it and don't always do myself any favours, but my comments were and are meant as suggestions on how I feel the group can improve and be more representative.
I still talk to you and you're a ****. If all you can find to take a pop at CTWD about, is a joke hip flask bought by a committee members girlfriend, then we're probably doing okay.
It's not taboo to be anti Allam. He's behaved like a silly **** so some people don't like him. That's not surprising or unacceptable and it certainly isn't a barrier to representation. He hates the fans and doesn't even hide it. People like yourself Happy, who remain religiously supportive of Allam against all evidence, would be far less suited to representing the fans.
Sure, I feel the same about you. If I bought stuff from you and i decided I should have a voice and influence on your business, would you sit down and discuss it with me knowing I had a jokey "OLM is a ****" hip flask?
Cheers Dutch, we actually mostly agree on that. Representation would be great but it needs to be from a position of mutual respect and served by people on the fans side who represent more than just a small clique.
If I don't listen to what my customers want, I don't sell anything. Unfortunately, like most businesses, I'm not in the fortunate position of having a devoted following who'll take any **** I throw their way and carry on being customers regardless. And if anyone wants to come and spend a load of coin with me, I'm quite happy for them to have anything they like on their hip flask.
Or indeed a small group of dishonest people representing their own vested interests. #cxxtflask 'til I die.
