Former director?

No doubt the offences and punishment will be trivialised, the publisher of this publicly available information labelled a toxic trouble maker and there's nothing to see here folks, move on.

I think Rodney Trotters 2 GCSEs were an equivalent level of qualification.

Companies House has Nicholas James listed

So pleased to have buried the Wealdstone hoodoo. This bodes well for the coming games, in my opinion.

Well done and thanks.

Dear Marjorie, you are already 4 of them.

Did you get your membership renewal reminder today?

Infantile labelling of organised dissenting voices does a representative body no favours .

Perhaps you should direct the question to the organisation proudly using that label?

And inexplicably share the answer.

Just as shareholders rallied to challenge the club board and remove directors a few short years ago, it is simply unwise to ignore the members following the correct procedure.

This was not a debate about the type of ketchup we should have on retail outlets, it was about the appointment of an individual to a position with potentially onerous statutory responsibilities. Granted we have an incredible ownership now, but that is not the issue.

That a sensible group challenges a process and is then labelled as toxic and a mob and that an internal email regarding data protection leaks these odious opnions of members speaks volumes.

Members who called the Trust EGM

It saddens me deeply to write this, but not as much as it did to read what I have.

An email sent to the Trust by a member, challenging an issue with data protection, was shared, with a response, to the whole Trust board. Unfortunately, the internal response was shared with the originator, incredibly naive and ironic, given the nature of the initial email. I was asked to view the email trail as the recipient wanted at least another person to see what had been written.

Throughout the process of following the procedure allowed by the articles of the Trust, efforts have been met with contempt, delay, and a startling arrogance. Even now - 6 1/2 weeks after the meeting, still no minutes, despite the requirement of the articles for such meetings to be minuted. Or monthlyed, such is the delay.

Here's how one of you may be viewed:

"... more than glad to respond to (Member)and copy the club officials (X, X & X) in on the email. Indeed I am more than happy to have emailed the members to explain, however this would just lead the Toxic Five to get more hot under the collar."

Toxic Five.

That is how some of the 30+ members are viewed and discussed at Trust board level.

This group of members simply challenged a process, following the correct process themselves in setting up the first ever Trust EGM (I think it was the first called by members, anyway).

When you challenge, you get this from the same email trail:

"...obviously part of the mob making things difficult re the Trust Director business, shows that group what for they are." (sic)

Mob : a large and disorderly crowd of people. especially : one bent on riotous or destructive action.

Sufficient in number to trigger an EGM, conducted in an orderly fashion, requesting respectfully that the board listen to members in a constructive and non-confrontational manner.

Mob? Really?

Certain of this group that challenged the process have been labelled "trouble causer" and causing "mither".

Please do not forget that the members who called the EGM did not agree on the appointment/non-appointment, just the process used by the Trust board. We wanted member consultation on this decision. Instead, members of the Trust board exhibit contempt, disdain and unaccountability.

What a good bit of business by the club.

East had an awesome game on Wednesday, other than having a pop at goal, he did everything else in an imperious manner, ably supported by Harvey Gilmour. When these 2 are allowed to get forward and doninate possession in the opponents half good things happen.

Right now this club has class and professionalism stamped all over it.

From Andy Duffs incredible presentation at the fans forum, Fitzos teasing interview with the manager, the working group painting and tidying the stadium, the Dale 1907 fan engagement and the quality media posts and then the quality performances on the pitch.
The recruitment in support of the manager has been first class, repaid by the performances we have had the pleasure to witness.
Locals who I know pay a passing interest in how we are doing are starting to stir.
Now is a good time to ramp up on Project 5000 .
We may be on the cusp of something special, for which we should be ever so grateful.

Couple of interesting things that came out of it:

Murray was the only Dale fans on the board with sufficient experience of what had gone on before . What about Jamie Sarsfield?

The Trust director is differentiated from the businessmen directors in their smart suits who've paid handsomely for a seat. ( I'm paraphrasing)

Cloughies estate provided £25k for a trust rep on the board.

The job spec details suitable attire on matchdays to enable hosting ( I'm paraphrasing)

Of course, denial of floortime to challenge this misinformation was denied.
