81 to 3

[6yardpunisha]

FAI proposal passed by 81 for and 3 against, FOCR'S showed there contempt for the members by not turning up.81 beats 65 anyday of the week, i hope the club follows up as was discussed in the meeting that the 6 people who sought to get legal costs off the club are expelled, lot of members very unhappy with them. Very civil meeting again, thats 2 ive been at and suprise suprise both were boycotted by the FOCR'S.They should all pack their bags and f**k off away from the club,HMS FOCKERVILLE leaves tonight, destination - who gives a toss once its away from our club, not welcome anymore lads and lassies.

They can have all the injunctions they want.
The majority have spoken and any judge will laugh them out of the courtroom and call them lazy and irresponsible for not turning up because now they havn't a leg to stand on because there are only about 30 of them so they still would have lost.

it wasnt that, it was contempt, for you, for me and for every decent member up there. Crowes Nest 6 should walk now from the club as they have brought the club into disrepute, end of

Now where did all these 83 people appear from??? Its so amazing that the most of the so called supporters are mere drinking buddies of the Chairman.

Well now ye can all go and swim. They have given the Chairman his opportunity to further sell out the club and all of ye with it.

"These 83" jamesd are made up of people who voted know NO the first time but realised that they made a mistake and that the FOCR's were full of sh!t.

Congratulations to those of you looking for a Yes vote.

Word of warning, watch out for the other group saying the vote isn't legitimate in the media because they didn't vote on it

actually is was officially sanctioned, 23 members called it, and also the friends were suppose to put there proposal to us today, that was the first item on the agenda, they never said that in there 96fm statement

[rambler14]

Word of warning, watch out for the other group saying the vote isn't legitimate in the media because they didn't vote on it

• They were notified by letter within the necessary time.

• The EGM was so they could make a presentation with their offer

• The Membership is 160 give or take. The majority vote needed for the Yes vote to pass was 78. We got 81.

Basically they havn't a leg to stand on. They just couldn't be arsed turning up because they had fook all on the table.
Although.......that won't stop them contacting the media. But like today when they contacted 96fm i'm quite sure they won't tell the public who the EGM was organised for the benefit of...........the Friends of Cobh Ramblers and their proposal, if you didn't already know!

Not saying they have a leg to stand on, just saying that this could be, and probably will be, spun a different way to the media, ie

This had already been voted down so their members refused to take part in a second vote and that's how the FAI thing was passed

When you vote you normally like to hear two sides of the story........correct?, well I for one do!
When we voted last time we only heard one side of the story which was the Management commitees and not the FOCR's proposal this was a chance for them to give us their side of the story.
Also this meeting was called by 23 members and nobody from the Management Commitee so the FOCR's can't really complain.

Not being rude at all, but please go away! I know you probably mean well but please just let us reflect this evening..................ta!!

So Jamesd tells us Barry Walsjh has 83 drinking buddies. ya I suppose that would make sense, he got a 4-1 majority vote of confidence earlier this year didnt he.

Basically, Jamesd and the FOCR's are now saying democracy is all wrong and people shouldnt have the right to change their minds.
96fm unintentionally helped yesterday too by not covering the official club counter statement. The FOCR boycott obviously brought out alot more members to the legitimate meeting.
91 against 31 which was at the FOCR's last secret meeting' I guess we have the biggest club in the town!

The FOCR's lose and it's broadcast on NATIONAL radio, none of their local tripe.

i find it strange that they are now saying its only 250k that were in debt when on the 21st of dec they were shouting close its closer to 1million. They know their supposed 100k is no good to a 500k debt, and are now making a massive u-turn in statements.
Also this bit baffles me: "A spokesman for the Friends of Cobh Ramblers said last night that a number of financial questions remain to be answered by the club ", well i think they've alot of questions to answer also regarding finances, as was highlighted iun the letter last week

It was also on the news but no video available yet.
