The future..................

[rambler14]

I have to say that after today it looks bright.

The friendlies lined up are great and have wonderful money spinning potential.
With the up coming Sunderland game and friendlies lined up against Celtic, Bristol City, Preston and Sevilla. I believe that sooner rather than later we will be in the position to make a profit at the end of a financial year.

Also the open-air concerts that will be starting next year will allow for even more financial windfall for the club.
Of course things all depend on the quality of acts that play the concerts. I personally think a call to Nicky Byrne's agent would help. The old "remember when we tried to save your football career" excuse could be used. Now i'm not saying we could get Westlife but surely it's worth a cheeky phone call!

Has the meeting next week been cancelled? And what is the story do we have a treasurer to mind the money?

[don ramo]

Is it ok to ask who is actually left on the committee? I'm an exile and while I have an idea of whats happening, and who is doing what etc, I would just like to know who is left on the committee going forward while they wait and decide who to co-opt until the AGM.............

Is there an ubiased, factual summary of what happened last night available anywhere?

[luka]

No and to be honest it was for club members and should remain that way. All that the outside world need to know is that the vote was I believe, 4 to 1 in favour of the Chairman.

I will try and give an account. There were many 'heated' and extreemly personally exchanges during the meeting that do not need to be aired again.
The finances were discussed, with the resigned treasurer have absolutely no information on the finances. The state of play with the Sunderland game was then discussed with facts and figures. Basically there will be $200k delivered from the game, more probably.
Plans for the future were said. Concerts in the ground, Celtic fixture next year, Sevilla, Preston NE, Bristol City, all coming in the next two years.
It was outlined by one of the members who done his maths how the club can make €442k p.a. before gates or friendlies if the club is run right.
There were rants going on and going round in circles before the cry for it all to stop was made.
The vote proceeded on the no confidence in the chairman and it was defeated by approx 4 to 1. no figures were given but that was the 'pile' estimate.
I think finally the club can now get on with the football, and secure our position in the Prem Div. WIth our new signings and all the issues being addresssed we can move forward in the field of play!!!:):D:)

Wonder if that piece will make the Echo's back page tonight

Enough now about these meetings try and keep it football related from now on time to ignore these posts its football time and we have Shamrock Rovers to catch their slipping into that dark place which we just pulled out of,enough said trophy 2nite..

I also think the meeting issue should be put to bed. I would just like to put one matter to bed with it. In a democratic exercise yesterday, the members of Cobh Ramblers club voted by a 4-1 majority to express full confidence in their chairman. I would like to remind Ramsfan and others of a like mind that those votes were not cast by fanatics or were the result of propaganda, but made by ordinary decent and mature people. Accept the result and less of the name calling at people who may use this and other forums!

what this attacking me for bud, i never cast any accusations over vote it was a democratic proces done and dusted, sunderland committee brought forward some great ideas and fact and figures and seem to be doing a top job,i am delighted it is over it is up to the chairman and his committee to deliver and bring us forward which i have every confidence in after yesterday.
please now can we enjoy premier league football and drop the politics

in honesty redshanks you are mainly the person who makes things personal all the time

[passerrby]

great to see this finally been put to bed best of luck to barry and the committee, I have one question how can you make 200K from the sunderland game apart from kndnapping the team and holding them to ransom.... now theres an idea

[luka]

Tickets Sales, Luncheon Ticket Sales, Programme Advertising & Sales, Merchandising and plenty of hard work from the poeple on the Sunderland Organising Committee
