Emergency Meeting

**Monkfish** · 11/11/2006, 10:21 AM

Anyone else can/cant go on that date?

**gael353** · 11/11/2006, 1:12 PM

I wont be going lads. I just feel id be saddled with all the work again and if a new group come in to take over the club id want to know who it/they were before committing. I for example could not work with anyone involved in the irish cartel which exist in the irish domestic game.

You could always say no if you're asked to get involved then surely? That's hardly a reason not to attend.

It won't be the same without you. Your feedback would be appreciated.

Anyway, if gael's not going then neither am I, who's with me?

**Monkfish** · 11/11/2006, 2:46 PM

Iv said before id like to assist anyone who wants to take chairmanship for next year, but whats involved? All of gaels points are valid, however i still think you should go, if only to have a drink before our last game of the season/ever!
B.T.W. is the Athlone game on the saturday or what?

Originally from Lim Till I die

(See Nempton, I've taken your point and am being alightly pro-active )

Glad to see your working hard

Finalise where and when the meeting will be on and contact all local media asking them to attend. Also if you can get a large turnout, preferably in their Limerick FC gear, ask for a photographer.

You need someone to chair the meeting so it can be kept under control and keep the focus on the issue, too many people might go off on a tangent venting their anger instead of helping to come up with a solution. Plus make sure you can get someone to take minutes of the meeting along with names & contact numbers for everyone.

Also use this opportunity to elect a new committee for the Supporters Club (preferably towards the end of the meeting). A fresh start is needed and I've heard rumblings of certain things that have gone which I'm not happy about. This isn't the place to discuss but I'll give you a ring during the week.

And finally, I cannot promise anything but I hoping to fly in Saturday if possible for the meeting. I won't know until closer to the weekend.

Seriously mate come over for a drinking session by all means, but last I heard that meeting wasn't going ahead, and I haven't heard any change since then. If someone is able to correct me on this then do so by all means, but don't drag yourself over from London for the sole reason of that meeting Nempton

**Battery Rover** · 14/11/2006, 10:28 PM

Is the meeting going ahead lads. I might be able to give some answers as how we keep going when it is hard get people involved. Will be there in Limerick early on Saturday

**Monkfish** · 15/11/2006, 4:29 AM

Ok lads time to put this thread back on top, all this talk about borats cousins coming over to play with daft danny is getting out of hand so lets try and deal with a real issue. Its clear those who could at least properly organise this are not interested, fact is with all thats going on around the club at the moment the meeting would probably run on for 3 hours plus and we'd still probably get no-where. You know the crack lads, same few arguing and complaining, yet for most of them, they probably only went to a handful of games all year.
In my view, 1 thing needs sorting, a new commitee. So would someone please tell me the conditions on which we can change this? who and how many need to be there?

**Nempton** · 15/11/2006, 10:12 AM

I agree with Monkfish's sentiment. We need to keep the focus on the issue. Saying that Jebus, depending on how things go if I can I might fly in Saturday for some golf and pints.

Lim Till I Die and SLK - Can you confirm where and when the meeting is taking place and notify as many people as possible.

In regards to the Supporters Club it has to hold an annual meeting anyway to elect a new committee so there is reason outside the current situation to be holding this (to generate more interest it should open to the public).

Also the Supporters Club have to, as they have done in the past, produce a report highlighting the financial situation of the club and what has been done in the past year. I expect it will be made available at the last match against Athlone. As a paid member I want to know everything thats gone on.

**4tothefloor** · 15/11/2006, 11:19 AM

I can make the meeting from about 6.15pm onwards, cos I have to finish work and then drive to whatever venue it's held at, depending on traffic of course as I'll be driving from Dooradoyle. Can't make it any earlier than that, sorry. If yer having a meeting it'd be good to have neutral viewpoints like those offered from the Athlone and Galway fans, was there also suggestions of getting someone from FAI, Shamrock Rovers as well? Not sure how possible that is at this stage time wise, and seeing that these other clubs are playing on Sat night as well, but would be good to have at the meeting...

The term 'don't hold your breath' comes to mind with that report mate. Either way I can make a meeting on saturday or sunday at anytime, and I can certainly fit you in for a whooping at golf if you make it over Nempton

**LFC in Exile** · 16/11/2006, 8:45 AM

Is this meeting happening?

The supporters club had 3 paid members this year. You weren't one of them.

And I personally won't be able to attend either game or meeting on Saturday alas.

Sorry SLK, I thought when I was home for the Cobh match earlier this year that I renewed my membership. So were the three paid up members yourself, Lim Till I Die and Damien? Why was their a low turnout for membership?

Surely one of you, as committee members, could produce an annual report for the year and also highlight a date and place for a public meeting hosted by the Supporters Club. You can distribute around the ground (I know you are not around that day) especially when there is a free entry and hopefully a higher than normal crowd turning up.

Because out of the 200+ membership forms distributed only 1 was returned. Nobody got involved from day 1 and the Supporter's club was a shambles all year. Rolling stones gathers no members as well as no moss it seems. I've no intention of getting involved in any kind of official capacity next year and sadly I'd be surprised if there's problems filling the committee again. Only one of the three elected officers actually sought nomination this year you'll remember.
