I would like to attend.... but.... again, would like to know what will the meeting be about?? And what kind of outcome are you(we) expecting??

There might be some merit in having a meeting at some stage to discuss what happens if the club is liquidated. Whether a new club starting in NL2 can be formed with a significant supporters input. But the time isnt right yet for that sort of meeting. I expect that the focus on Monday will be on how to keep the SL club going. And, unfortunately, the fans can have very little meaningful input as far as that is concerned.

Not sure what you're hoping to gain from setting up a supporters trust. There is already one in existence that has places available on the board for anyone who wants to offer their services.

The Bulls will be long gone by the time you have gone through all the various legalities that need to be followed and a bank account opened. I know everyone is feeling pretty desperate and eager to try help but perhaps some sort of plan needs to be put forward first. I can't think of a realistic one, but I am open to being convinced there is something we could do.

Very sadly I've got to agree with Bully-Boxer, there is a supporters trust in place already in Bullbuilder, there is no time to even try to set up another.

I do know what you mean though Adele, people are so desperate to try and do something constructive to save our Club and if there was even a slight chance that us as fans could do anything I'd be in there doing everything I could along with a lot of other people I know but realisticaly unless one of us wins the lottery and quick our hands are tied. Will there be someone there from the Club, will Mr Guilfoyle be there to answer any questions and has already been asked what sort of agenda is there and who is taking charge of this and leading the meeting?

Had we continued to raise funds back when all this started we would have had a good chance of at least making a good dent in the money needed, maybe even shocking everyone and raising enough to save the Bulls but 8 days left and according to the T and A the potential backers have backed out.

I've been reading about the meeting too as I knew I would not be able to make it due to monday night commitments but really other than giving desperate fans something constructive to focus on I can't see how it could help in honesty, it might be the last chance some of us have though of seeing Odsal if the worst happens and those gates finally close.

There just does not seem to be a silver lining in sight here guys and that's the most depressing and upsetting thing of all.

Before we all look for a low beam and a few lengths of rope, it may well turn out that things are not all they seem or are portrayed as.

I engineered a little work of speculative fiction on another thread. I'm sure I am not the only one able to engage in a bit of engineering.

It could be CC's master plan to get rid of all other shareholders, get rid of all outstanding debt and buy the Bulls at a knockdown price once liquidation is announced, cheap deal to continue at Odsal. Cut wage bill by offering players he doesn't want to keep a lower contract so they refuse to transfer over to new company.

How many people does the coral stand hold, think they could get oversubscribed. Who's going to chair it?

Steven Calvert:
Due to a change in circumstances this meeting can NO longer be held at odsal stadium!

hmmmmmm

Re: Fans Meeting Monday : Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:36 pm  

Pity. I was hoping to hear how they resolved the "who's going to chair it" part.

Re: Fans Meeting Monday : Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:42 pm  

Ive been at work so havent been able to read the posts today. Think they were a small number chairing it & to be fair it looked pretty organised. They checked with Odsal first so its strange they'v pulled the plug today. Im curious as to why

Re: Fans Meeting Monday : Thu Jun 28, 2012 3:08 pm  

Is it going to be held somewhere else?

Also, could we have a link to the Facebook page on this, then we can read up the posts and discussions ourselves, if we want to, rather than wait for updates here? Cheers!
