Yes, I have listened to the whole 34 mins... I've got nothing really to add, but discuss and I can always add my comments later.
Should we have a 'rating' for the key points in the 'chat'? 1. '' I didn't know the FA Cup game was a 2pm kick off '' - followed by an expression of shock horror.... honestly 2. '' I have been in talks (( forever )), with interested parties - very interested parties looking to invest in the Club.''..... watch out for the low porcine aviation. 3. '' The Factory is nearing completion '' .. I reckon the BMS will have its' scaffolding removed first ! 4. '' There have been problems with the Tea bars- which were operated by a few young members of staff - who have gone for a number of reasons''......well. I can think of one ( person ) reason 5. '' Every week, I get hundreds of emails - I haven't got time to read ( any of ) them all '' (( says he who keeps ignoring EVERY one of mine - I reckon they must all go into his 'Spam' folder............ Spam ! - that's a good word. I wonder what you'd get if somebody just spouted the word over and over again ?
The main complaint I've seen on twitter, haven't looked yet this morning by the way, but it was from the very start of the video, where the chairman said he would answer people's questions, yet supporters response to that was he only answered one supporter question. I'd say I noticed two answered, the term 'embargo' and also the kick-off time, that was two main questions I'd heard on social media from Gills supporters. I see in your comments about the tea bars, I was tired last night when I listened to the video, so somehow miss remembering that, but I bought some chips at the last match day, cold and cashless, that's all i've got to say! In the every day running of a business, meaningless, but to keep custom, attention to detail is important. I do sympahise with the Chairman over emails, I don't doubt he probably has 150+ emails every day, and I also hear him when he says, I don't sit at my desk all day. Whole heartedly agree but...for every problem, you need to find a solution. I'd suggest he needs someone triaging as a small part of a job vacancy he could create. Yes, that costs money, but even if it's only a part-time job, these emails could be losing you money. If you get twenty people asking the exact same question, the chairman don't need to be reading it 20 times, triage it so he only needs to read it once, if he needs to read it at all. No I don't want a job at GFC btw
I started to watch it this morning before setting off for Sheffield. Got no further than the bog standard ‘I’ve been working very long days, every day, talking to investors blah, blah’ before switching to something I hadn’t already heard a hundred times before. I don’t know who thinks 30+ minutes is the right way to communicate in the 2020’s. Give us 5 minutes a week that’s properly prepared so that we can avoid all the waffle and the repetition. Get to the point. Tell us what we don’t already know as concisely as possible. And for heavens sake be professional. It seems the leadership and management are just out to throw one another (and players) under the bus. It’s making us a laughing stock and puts even more strain on my close to snapping relationship with the club. Anyway, I’m pleased to report that I was able to gain entry to Hillsborough by parting with cash, albeit a lot more than my dad would have paid when he brought me here for my first ever away game in October 1976. He has a lot to answer for… Up the Gills!
He's using a proxy vote for Geoffrey Cox.... either that or working in the finance department of my energy company -- who have sent me an email ** in which they say that, from December, they are increasing my 'fixed' monthly direct debit by 41% **** . They claim my household is using more energy than forecast --- They are correct -- BUT -- it's actually less than ONE per cent (( 1% )) more than forecast ! ----- looks like I'm going to have an interesting conversation tomorrow ! ** ( can't be Scally - he doesn't answer my ( everyone's ) emails. **** ( maybe they need to pay Scally's 27.5% increase in his 'fees.' )
