Stuart, you have the patience of a saint!
How about I undertake to write an agenda for the next forum and I will also write the minutes as I did last time. I assume we can then expect to see Rookery in attendance and anyone else who has chosen to stay away before due to the lack of formality around the meetings.

Thanks - I don’t think we need a formal agenda to be honest - perhaps an update on off the field stuff and then questions. Note taking will be fantastic - reversing the tables so to speak!

I was being a bit facetious about the agenda especially as it will already have been set ;-) Happy to make sure there are detailed minutes which can go on the forum.

Hmm, taking minutes. Sounds like a dry-run for a place on the Board...

Also, if people want to submit questions in advance? I think with hindsight I should've perhaps added three or four winky-thingies to make clear that I was winding barons up... (Pleased it worked, despite...) I'm in full agreement of sharing what's discussed. I've gone on record here before, asking for a wider broadcast of what I've felt can be sessions which just encourage accusations that a small cabal of fans find out news which the vast majority of fans are excluded from – simply by not being able to attend. I'd go further, and suggest that streaming (even if only audio) would be good – and more transparent.

Maybe similar would placate.

Might be old news but I’ve just learned that an adult season ticket for BHA in the Women’s Super league is just £30. Given that a season ticket for Lewes Women is £80, maybe things are more equal at Lewes than some perceive.

I think a good solution for the forums is to announce what the focus of the next one will be in advance, and then people can submit questions on that general topic in good time. Focusing on a particular area would also mean that not all staff would need to be available for each one.

Run by the fans for the fans. Or Run by the board for the benefit of the board’s ideologue ?
Seems to be the prevalent view as the set up unravels after Barry's savage indictment of the club operation. The resignation of Barry effectively ends any credibility of being a community fan owned club. A leading board member told me previously ‘at least Barry stands up against Charlie and Eddie.’ The board must be rubbing their hands as full steam ahead with the new movement Lewes (Politics) FC So the board is now effectively a board with one proper football person, Stuart, and consisting of people (not all) with no history with the town, the club or amazingly football. As someone stated on the Barry Collins thread why join the board you have no say? Remember this is something another former board member alluded to as well.
So the opposition on the board effectively stymied, the club being held together 'by the sheer force of will’ of Darren Freeman and worst of all a two tiered club. A football club with dual purposes. The fans wish to watch a good first team and a board seeing the club as a platform to pursue a political ideology behaving like a cartel. Well, that all worked out well.
The board really have become the pigs of Animal Farm, holed up in their bunker, aloof, arrogant, untouchable, elitist you name it as the other animals wonder where it all went wrong. Shame.
The board need to use this debacle to have a bloody good look at themselves, how they operate and the values of a much loved small town community football club going off the rails. Seemingly merely a political football to them.

The usual rant.
Yes, we need a debate.
No, we don't need to do it through insult, for example by suggesting that people who have repeatedly bailed out the club have no connection with the club or the town. Pure tosh.
