Your chance to see Jason, the team & trophy.

Oh dear I wish I hadn't asked

Its all very well coming on here defending your mates Jack but I think as Bill suggests we are focussing on the personal rather than the facts.

I would also say that you're suffering from selective memory with your comment "no-one was watching over his shoulder and saying “you’re doing this wrong”" but I suppose the demise of previous forums is very handy for those who don't choose to remember.

 
There is a difference in being a “volunteer” coming along to help on match days or doing things like the website and programme in your own time, and holding an “unpaid” position as a director or having manager or executive in your title. I have been a volunteer, held an unpaid position, and been an employee and regardless of how some would like to belittle my efforts I gave 100% at all times and with a little more support from the club and fans alike could have put a lot more into action than I was able. But that is by the by.

Regards this event, which was the point of this thread, no-one has as yet put forward any reason as to why the players did not turn up as advertised or if they did why they were not in the photographs, or why this event produced nothing that could have been used as good publicity for the club, a subject I would have expected the marketing manager to have been involved in. The manager is not a volunteer, he is a paid employee, so what happened with the players? The general manager/clubhouse licensee is not a volunteer, she is a paid employee, as are the bar staff, so why was the clubhouse not prepared properly for a more professional display of the cup/photo backdrop? The photographer is technically not a volunteer, he sells his work, so why was he not able to set up better pictures? With the number of people now on the payroll at the club and the number of “professionals” now in position certain things are still being “managed” very poorly! Why?

One of them was keeping bad press away from you at one time Jack.

I've already made one suggestion for the use of the photos, ratherthan us batting this back and forth all afternoon perhaps you could suggest to Simon that he has the meeting with me that he suggested some time ago and we could discuss other options properly. I sent him my email address, he can contact me direct.
