GK said that he had seen boasts on message boards that the clubs “kid for a quid” offer had been abused and that they were monitoring the situation for the future

I think you'll find there is more than one message board !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An interesting piece in them regarding food. A question was asked about Chips which led to an answer from Geoffrey King which in cluded the sentance, and I quote GK said that the club offers as good a range of food that you will find anywhere.

Yeah right, so having the choice of a Pie, Sausage Roll, Hot Dog or Burger compares to for instance Kidderminster where you can get all of the above and more including Shepherds Pie, Curry, Chinese, Vegetarian Options & so on.

All I can say is Dream on

That is a very good point, and I never thought of bringing that up at the meeting - it could of been posted on SUFC's own message board

 

[Napster]

Couple of interesting points in the liaison minutes and I urge everyone to read it

Did mention the fare on offer by other clubs

Quote[/b] ]He added that the turnover on food on match days was up at £15000

thats only because of increased attendances!

Quote[/b] ]GK said that he was disappointed when he visited the Shrimpers Bar at 6.20pm on the night of the Scunthorpe game to find that there were no Trust members carrying out the signing-in duties. PY said that the majority of the Trust Committee work and it is difficult to get there on time for an evening match due to traffic but this case in question, it was an isolated incident. GK said that he could get there and PY said that he worked next door. GK said that signing-in was a condition and the Trust must have at least one member who could carry out the early signing-in.

PY asked if a member of the security staff could sign people in until a Trust member could get there. GK said that was not part of their duties and it had to be a Trust member. PY asked if a member of the security staff who was also a Trust member could carry out the duties early on until cover arrived. GK said that he would speak to David Jobson about this.

More pathetic attitude by the club!

In this particular instance, I side with GK. It might come across in the minutes as a bit petulant foot stamping by GK (and it may have been just like that in the meeting, for all I know) but it is a requirement, I believe agreed by the local rozza's, that a Trust member sign people in.

Why is that pathetic? GK is making very valid points. Granted it can be difficult for some people to get there early for evening kick offs but that was one of the conditions from the very off - it's not a new thing. Is GK supposed to turn a blind eye to it? I don't think so, and he is quite right that it isn't a stewards job to do so.

I can think of one post not so long ago that was boasting about this very issue.

That said, I'd hate to think GK spends as much time reading messageboards as I do. Must be reading this if that is the case!

Oh, and I did get to the report by the way, sneakily hidden at the bottom of the page. It's a very good set of minutes actually and a very worthwhile read. I was surprised it wasn't more prominent.

One thing, why is everyone, including the absent John Stannard talked about acronymically (it is a word now) yet Dave Jobson is always referred to as Dave Jobson and never DJ?!

What browser are you using ?

If it's Firefox for some reason the Tabs don't show

I don't know why - perhaps a techie out there can advise.

There is another link at the bottom of the home page which takes you straight to the document

Yeah, it is Firefox. When I hover over the link, it just has a link to the page again and that's all that's loaded when I click on it.

Not sneakily hidden at the bottom of the page. There is a link to all Trust Documents at the top of the page, but in your case this is not working.

Anyway problem solved - the link at the bottom is now moved to the top

I have the same problem with firefox and I haven't a clue why. It's a pain in the arse when I want to check stuff I have uploaded.

Yeah maybe GK is right about this but what he mustn't forget is how much money the Shrimpers Bar makes for the club now it is run by the Trust as opposed to when it was run solely by the club.

For the extra revenue that has been brought in by the Trust's excellent efforts you would have thought he might have at least entertained the idea of providing a steward for the half hour or so it takes for a Trust member to get there on an evening kick off.
