Needs improving immediately and without fail.
And not a board announcement flim flamming. 100% transparency.
Or resign.

Yep, time to step up.
I am a season ticket holder and have been for many many years and this is the first time I honestly have no idea who any of the board/chairman are.
Not good enough. We need a Leader/s and we need them now.

Thursday night is HUGE.
As many of us need to be there as possible. Sign up on the night if you're not a member. Just make sure you're in attendance if you've no other commitments.

Thursday night is our chance to make ourselves heard.
It could quite honestly be the defining moment in the future of this football club.
If you can make it down there please do. I will be there along with Sychdyn Blue and hopefully a few others as well.
We need to hold this board to account, if they can't or won't tell us the full story then we must demand they step aside

I will absolutely be there on Thurs but I've already made my mind up, this current board and Maguire have no place in the future running of the club.
It very much sounds as though they're leading us to disaster and have clearly demomstrated they lack any kind of judgement.
For me, the board have allowed their personal relationships with the likes of JM & MM to prevent them acting in the best interests of the club. There can be no going back, they are not needed here now.
For the rest of us, we need to take our club back. I just hope that too much damage hasn't already been done, it sounds as though it may have been.

They have had their chance over the last few years and their apathy, self-interest and divisive approach has led us to the brink. There can be no more BS from any of them, no more rallying calls from MM, followed by nothing. We need positive action - NOW!

Good to see that so many are intent on attending on Thursday, I share some of your frustrations. I hope to be there too. Hopefully this will also swell the CFU membership. If the board fail to provide the clarity of purpose you desire, and you wish for a clean sweep out of all board members and senior club management employees go prepared, and follow the constitutional rules. If you go in gung -ho and as a result all were to resign on the spot what would happen with immediate effect? Could the club continue to operate in the short term, I doubt it as there would be no governance in place. Can you find 10 alternative CFU members with the right skills and leadership qualities who would be prepared to put themselves forward, knowing what the rhetoric and abuse can be like, I doubt it. Think you need to work with the board to bring about change, not against it. This is your chance to be constructive not destructive, think about it.

Why is the answer 'well you wont find anyone else' or the 'you do it then' when the Board are criticised?
Why are fans happy with mediocrity? Fans like you are the problem, there are literally active passionate people looking to ask questions and change things, but no no, careful what you wish for...
There were Board members before them and there will be Board members after them.

As I said, I share some of your frustrations, and I am supportive of anyone who is passionate enough to actively engage and work towards solving problems to bring about the improvements required. I look forward to hearing from these alternative people at the meeting and hope that they are constructive in their approach as well as challenging the status quo.

I desperately wanted to be at this meeting, but I'm heading down to Berkshire for the Maidenhead game early Thursday morning. I hope that the true Blues who are attending this meeting can begin a process that rescues our beloved club from these faceless scoundrels.

I know that it's possible to sign up to a conference call thingy but would it also be possible (is it allowed?) for someone to create a thread on here and give short, sharp bullet points, live so to speak, as to what is asked and the gist of the responses e.g "Point raised about Cestrian 10" "XYZ responded by saying....." for those who for whatever reason cannot attend and use DC as their primary source of info and find streaming a bit daunting.

Don't think we need a complete clear out of the board as some have and are continuing to do a good job, anyone not stepping up and "making a difference" go now!

Are you able to detail who you think is doing a good job, with examples of why? Do you know if the Board makes collective decisions, votes held, and if people have distanced themselves from decisions, where that can be seen?

Doing a good job? Are we serious here. There are rumours from a source who previously pointed out the worst case scenario before it became known in the past. Absolute mismanagement and incompetence since April. Very frustrating indeed. I would be pleasantly surprised if we are in a position to proceed with a vaguely competitive budget next year in regional football. The closed shop and difficulty in obtaining information at a supposedly fan owned club is beyond belief. Sorry to be negative but it’s unfortunately a factual assessment of where we are imo.

I think it's ridiculous to say the whole board should go. It would be akin to shooting ourselves in the foot. We are paying the price for giving too much responsibility to one man and a lack of true fan leadership on the board. That doesn't mean that the whole board needs to go. We need to survive the storm, regroup and learn from the big mistakes that have been made over the last couple of years and indeed the mistakes that have inevitably been made since we reformed. What we are desperate for is a leader from within our ranks. Will someone charismatic, dynamic and strong enough, with the necessary time to commit step forward? Does that person exist? Because now more than ever, since we reformed, we need that man or woman.

That man does exist, he started this thread you're commenting on.
Whether he wants it, or whether he has the time to commit to it only he can say, but I would vote for him in a flash to try and sort out this mess.

How have we got to the point where most fans couldn't even tell you who is in the board, nevermind what they have done for the club in the last 12 months. In the absence of any information to the contrary, I think we can be forgiven for thinking they've probably done sweet FA.

On the subject of CFC co-owners is it true that nearly twice as many voted on a change to the players shirt than voted to elect a previous board? Since the clubs inception how many co-owners (non board members) resolutions have been submitted to be voted on at the annual CFU AGM's? You get the club you deserve.

Known Mark since the Vaughan protest days and I can honestly say he would put everything on the line for this club. But that's not fair of us to ask him to do that, he needs to be part of a collective group.
A collective group of like minded blues who will all do their little bit so the parts become greater than the sum. something we don't have now and we haven't seen since the likes of the reformation board.
