For our supporters, why would they help when the board has often treated poorly the people who have volunteered or sought to help the club? When representatives of the club have gone out of their way to lie to the entire membership about big and little things, and especially independently verifiable things, why would anyone trust them?<br /><br />It's going to take a lot of work to rebuild any sort of trust. Seeing as there's scarcely any visible sign of a new board getting involved, that task of starting with a clean slate is made much more difficult.<br /><br />IT also doesn't help however that our fan base also likes being waited on hand and foot. Easier for the club to bring a whole bunch of uni interns to do stuff than rely on people who only really want to watch games and do not much more beyond that.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206486881622385464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414687298565438.post-68558951207680495352019-08-08T14:10:14.869+10:002019-08-08T14:10:14.869+10:00Who is the club?

If that’s not enough then we need new leaders to step up. The problem we have is that no one is willing to stand up but many are keen on whinging. We need a unified club where everyone that still loves our club works together. From a distance, I think melb knights are a lot more unified than us, but I could be mistaken.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7503414687298565438.post-59606940372808668752019-08-08T11:31:15.727+10:002019-08-08T11:31:15.727+10:00Well, I did watch that live, but I recall seeing i...Well, I did watch that live, but I recall seeing it in the days afterwards.

Our fan base has gone down the toilet thanks to the actions of the board, if 2020 resembles the last 2 seasons the remaining fans will just about throw in the towel.<br /><br />On the bright side despite what appears to be a case of sabotaging ourselves, we still might only finish 1-2 spots outside finals, so if we actually put in effort over the summer by first signing a credible coach and then building a proper team instead of signing 4 defensive midfielders and 4 wingers like we did last off season then we might back in play, not holding my breath because right now it looks like the club doesn’t give a stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
