Wow.ex OSC Committee Member speaks out

[yugohoop]

Good point, but if there are 9000 season ticket holders and several thousand members then that communication has to be to all of them. So either you read the OSC page on the offish or communications sent out with s/t renewal or independently, either channel costing money, OSC dont have any so they have to ask the money grabbing dont caqre about the fans board to cough up..........dont need the answer to that do you

An email would do. This can be generated automatically at very little cost or time. I'm fully aware of what the OSC do, but i'm not aware of what i can do as a supporter and this is where they fail! As for the money why don't they just raise some cash for themselves for a change? They seem to be able to do it for others.

I know a few asked them to resign, but its such a shame to see.

I saw another post on the Independent r;s really belittling them.

Good that Linda has spoken out because its been like a vendetta in some quarters since the meeting

[HammersmithR]

The OSC are more than able to get our email details from the club and in turn could email us all. That wouldn't cost them a thing.

They should have emailed their members asking them what questions that wanted asked on their behalf.

[alibabes]

im fairly sure this whole thing started because most fans ( I say most some obviously were happy) are pissed off with the increase in prices, wanting to get some thing done about it and realising the one possible way in was the OSC.
1) Yes an email would do but if the OSC have been waiting for 4 weeks to get an EGM then how long do you think it will take for the club to respond to them send ing an email out to everyone. Yes someting could go in the qpr e news stuff that randomly appears, how long would that take and how many of us actually read everything thats in it when its just a rehash of the offish?
2) yes they could hold an event to raise money for themselves, rather defeats the purpose doesnt it. Money for Grace etc or for themselves, if the club want to use them as conduit then they should be helping with emails/ letters etc
3) anyone of you could have gone to the AGM and got involved
4) but the real point is despite the OSC's best efforts as a fund raising group, helping at events group, trying to make the club better by discussing exciting things like the toilets, tv's, catering, etc they have been shat on. Lets not get away from the the fact that they have been eaten up and spat out by " the board". I say board . I doubt F and B even know they exist. Maybe they were not as transparent as some would have liked, but the AGM was open to all, committee places were advertised, major arguments were had in meetings and where did it get them.......f***ing nowhere because the board dont give a ****.

Hammersmith r's

To be fair, its not rocket science the most important questions that needed to be asked and it seems they were

[alibabes]

the most important questions have always been asked by the OSC, they have just never been answered

[qprted]

many

many of the supporters dont see the official supporters club as being very powerfull

for a commitee to have true power it needs to be able to unite all the supporters

only the lsa can trully unite all the fans including all four of the loonatic fringe
breakaway independants


ONLY VICTOR STEVENSON HAS ENOUGH RESPECT TO TRULLY COMMAND THE SUPPORTERS,and victor can put a demonstration against the club that numbers two or three thousand

NOW THAT IS A SUBSTANCIAL FORCE

ted we need ten thousand people to protest then we will be heard.

[alibabes]

you will never unite them all cuddly ted. even a thread about renewing turns into an argument with some people renewing on the first possible day ( why?) and some holding out till the last (me) and some not bothering.
the board dont care, even if 2000 fans stood outside f's office and shouted abuse hed get in his bugatti ( made that bit up) and drive away laughing, as long as his poncey corperate and poncy rich friends turn up. OSC, lsa, the tufty club, famous five whoever they dont care

Don't think they can do that. Would breach Data Protection legislation. Which, incidentally, makes it even more bonkers that the club chose the OSC as the liaison route with no means to communicate with the ST holders or members unless directly via the club, which then renders the entire exercise utterly pointless.

[qprted]

With due respect to Vic and all the great work he's done in the past, is he really going to gain the attention or face time from anyone under the age of 35? Would an average Dad and Lad in the Loft Upper know Vic?

Christ, I sound like Alistair Campbell. Shoot me now.

[alibabes]

and he did win supporter of the year

Hammersmithr,

Looks like there may be an opportunity to put yourself up for election.
