Football sites should be full of passion, but what I liked about this one were those thought provoking points of view. I can go on twitter or FB to hear people being called a tw@t if I want. (apols a bit of a tw@t )

Again, GJ's post says it all.

Agree, Tring is fatuated with Newell, so much its really sad. It brings this site down, we all have our opinion, i personally dont think much of Newell's opinions, but to bring him up all the time is bordering on sadness, Chris should be posting on all forums but i dont blame him if he stays away if he just gets childish abuse.

Some people need to grow up.

Good post GJ, by the way sums it up.

This forum was created to confront and challenge the likes of Newell and his unhealthy control freak tendencies. Without it, he'd have a free ride. If you don't like my postings, don't read them. I rarely bother with yours by the way.

And bringing his name up all the time just gives him the attention he craves, and gets people talking about him. Goose and Gander springs to mind.

He doesn't want our sort of attention. More and more people are realising what he is really like underneath the super nice , superfan exterior.

Thought you were grateful to have your Argo. Get back onto Pasoti, you'll feel more at home.

Knew it !

125, stay as long as you like. Tringy doesn't mean to tell you to head back to Pasoti (I hope not) because that would be exactly the reason that ATD exists. We welcome all views and don't set about telling people what they can and can't post.

Now all of you, behave or this is going to Junior ATD, it's been done to death!!!

I see GreenSam called grovehill a troll earlier for simply having a different opinion.

Maybe he's mentored by the great ones too.

Poor old Cobi was groomed and mentored by two of the farm's finest brains .

It's no wonder he doesn't seem to know whether he's coming or going most of the time.

If you have a question then drop me an email, give me a call or a text or anything and I will respond and I am always more than happy for you to reproduce that reply on ATD.

Just PM'd you Prez...

Although, why I can't just go...

Hello Mr President.

Can you please tell me which supporters groups were invited to attend the GASB and if possible, what individuals have signed up to attend.

Thank you.

Rickler

Does seem odd Ricks, especially when you are going to post the reply back on this thread!!

All this contact me by PM or email just seems a bit suspicious.

Surely there's no problem with posters asking the prez a question and expecting a reply in public, that way there can be no editing or bullsh!t.

What is there to hide?

GreenSam is a mod in the making!

Also who is the Ollie bloke who's suddenly popped up? ..cos he's bloody annoying, Every post is like a novel!

Odd indeed...

Cutting out the BS - Here is the info...

Those invited to attend:

Trust
Plymouth Supporters Branch
Cornish
North Devon
Northern
London
Disables
VPs
Senior Greens

And six individuals have applied to attend. Amongst them are Tony Hooper, Andy Symons. and Jon B who have publically announced they will attend.

I specifically asked about Pasoti and was told an invitation was not extended as they are not a “supporters group!"

Andy recieved a public IJN seal of approval on the gas board earlier

As for the bit in bold, I bet that bruised a few egos!

It's Pasoti style censorship 'people'.

It is not helpful and a serious waste of Webby's time, I would have thought.

To influence people and get them to follow you to hell and back, you either have to be dictator like and stifle all opposition [not possible in a free society], or you have to be totally open, honest , inclusive and above all, listen to the people.

If you are asked questions to which you know not the answer, admit as much and endeavour to find out.
Playing games and avoiding difficult questions, like a politician, will not earn you respect.

If you can't be honest and up front don't bother at all. The majority will never follow you.

Interesting that the GT's don't seem to be involved?

...unless they have been give the 'community chest card' and they can proceed straight to go?

They probably won't be the only ones. It might not be official but it is likely imo that certain groups/individuals have already proven their 'value added' and will be even higher up the food chain, unofficially of course. That is provided they continue to eat away at the debt. No pun intended

The GT's were originally given a seat on the Board as of right, but I'm lead to believe that they've turned it down. In fairness to the GT's they've consistently said that they're there to raise funds for the club, and aren't interested in the 'politics' side of things.

As for me being endorsed by Newell. Are you f***ing sure?

All being well (& that's mostly aroung the juggling of family commitments!) I'm attending on Saturday.... I think that it'll be interesting.

Great to see people actually doing rather than talking.

Well done you two.

I'm sure

Revealing, that Mr President is quite happy to enter into debate concerning the Gas Board on Pasoti but clearly not on here.

Personally speaking, if he's going to operate such double standards, I'd rather he didn't bother. We can all look on the OS if we're interested in what he has to offer.

You're right about the GT bit.

And, Andy, I'm afraid that the second bit is true. Mind you, you were described in one part of the thread as "one of the little people" attending the meeting (TonyC I think). I've seen how tall you are!

At the risk of rising again to your vendetta against the President, Tring, it was Mr Newell who made the comments - not The President.

At the risk of putting you straight, I wasn't referring to Newell's comments, merely the fact that 'Mr President' , comments more than anyone else on the GAS thread.

Edited for factuals............ actually, I think he comes 3rd behind Tony Cholwell and your good self.

If I've read it right, Chris's commentary on the proposals seems to suggest that membership of the new board may be used to bring in new money - have I got that right?

If I have, it's not something I was anticipating (& I mean that as a neutral observation!).


Not sure where you've got from Jon? Apologies if any part leads to that impression because that isn't the case. I'll try to pop back later to pick up any questions etc or posters are welcome to use the email facility.

Chris


Guess what........... 'Chris' does indeed pop back later to pick up any questions. No doubt, only the questions passed suitable by..................................

Might this "My guess is that all constituencies will bring loyalty and commitment to Argyle, but some might bring other things as well (e.g. money to buy season-tickets, money to invest in the club, etc.)." be where JonB gets the suggestion that the GASB members may actually bring extra money to the table?


That's a reference to the 20% offer to the Trust from JB.
