Re: To find us where we are now is quite satisfying.

I am deeply satisfied having seen where we were a month ago. To finish the season with relegation no longer riding on our last four games is highly commendable........ But I don't like managerial change particularly but when it generally fails you have to do it. What makes people think it is going t...

Re: Oh goodie, another striker!

39 players this year, which is of course, ludicrous and scandalous for a club in our financial peril. But lest we forget, Mr Wilder loved a foray too, and used 37 just three seasons ago. I'm basing this next statement on no factual evidence whatsoever, but I'd sure a tight-knit, small and settled s...

Re: Drop ticket prices - discuss

A proportion of the tickets that people think are 'given away' are actually bought by local businesses and then handed to the community to bring school children and their families to come. Quite a good idea I thought.

Re: OxVox AGM: this Saturday

Members of the OxVox committee last year spent hundreds of hours formulating a proposal, a cost analysis, funding options and met with ALL the key stakeholders, including councils and face to face meetings with FK. This presentation was then presented to The Lenagan's. After some significant deliber...

Re: OxVox AGM: this Saturday

The new officers won't be decided upon until the committee meet up for their first post-AGM meeting, where they will decide amongst themselves who wants to do which roles. That's the practice. It's highly likely Jeremy Faulkner will be the new Chair and be unopposed. Then its for Myles Francis, Grah...

Re: Consistency

We're pretty good on expenditure these days. GY has covered most of the reasons as to why there is now a difference. Room Hire is now free at both the ground on a Matchday when we have our pre-match meetings (kindly sorted by the club/stadco) and our monthly committee meetings are now held at Jordon...

Re: Consistency

Surely the obvious one is don't charge a fee and make it easy for members to sign up, for example you have a sign up option on the website for occasional news on the website but that won't give access to the useful stuff. If you sign up, we'll send you occasional emails giving you information about...

Re: Consistency

You're right GY, you didn't say that. Apologises for the poorly worded opening reply. I was trying to garnish what the main criticisms were from others, including yourself if you had any (note: I am opening up a can of worms here inviting/encouraging this). I would like them known so we can rectify/...

Re: Consistency

I have always welcomed constructive criticism of the committee and Trust. We try hard to engage and act on feedback/requests but it can be difficult when you have 30 people turn up at the Pre-Match meetings or only 100 reply to a questionnaire seeking views and approval. Unfortunately, there won't b...

Re: Consistency

What's the criticism then GY? (I like understanding others views and having a sensible debate) I have addressed the comment about the committee 'backing a bid' which is completely untrue. OxVox have never had a remit to go chasing a manager out of the club either (even if may have done so before) be...

Re: Consistency

It would be interesting to know whether OxVox have discussed the what ifs of relegation. In its current form I don't think it'd be equipped to lead a a rising phoenix. But then things change quicker than you'd imagine when a proper crisis hits. What I'm not enjoying is OxVox's continued silence ove...
