Official minutes from the club meeting their mouthpiece* are on the offy

[haqpr1963]

The thing that pisses me off is that if you look at the Offy every mention of meetings between the OSC and the club always includes this line....

members of the OSC Committee met with representatives of the Club on behalf of the fans to discuss several areas of concern

Is it really on behalf of the fans?

All seems just a little bit dodgy to me. Not how I would expect a supporters club to be run.....

You could almost justify the price rises if we had spent some decent money and really improved the squad so that we'd be competitive, but a 40% increase to continue to watch Helguson and the likes of Ephraim it a total joke.

40% increase to see us get stuffed every week....not sure that's worth paying for

we will sign players next week of that im sure...just dont think they will be of the caliber to placate the fans tbh

These minutes are just a distraction from the truth. No real questions were asked at this meeting otherwise they would have been noted. How can the OSC accept answers that were published all over the net a month ago? It's as if the club answered and they just shrugged their shoulders and played along. The levels of incompetence to interigate and disintrest of fans concerns is truely remarkable! I'm both in shock and angry after reading that.

The OSC's primary concern should be the club and not charities, however worthy. In my eyes they do not represent me as a supporter and i'm fairly certain, from the reactions posted, that they don't represent you either.

So do we just do nothing and accept this latest insult?

No, some of us are fighting this, let's hope that at some stage we get an EGM.....

The whole thing sucks though....

Remember.

If you are a season ticket holder or a member, the OSC represent YOU.

How can it be on behalf of the fans when members views are not canvassed, all I want is transparancy i.e how does the committee get elected, why my or the majority of members views are not sought - proper minutes, not what looks like a press release. With the club level of representation looks like they were just paying lip service & looks like that was accepted

Now this has all been bought to light...would like to see some LSA people on the osc committee and the whole fanbase represented.

I'm afraid, with our club in the hands of people who couldn't care less about grassroots supporters, the OSC meeting with club officials is, as Shakespeare might have eloquently put it, much ado about nothing, really.

[maccatwo]

Some points the OSC until last week and only from this message board I had not heard of OSC. The meeting just like a PR for the club nothing answered at all. Yes I knew the prices would go up and I know the capacity of the ground would mean they be high. Why did they not ask if we would get a bigger capacity stadium and when would club be looking at this. Also why did the Mittals pull out, would the prices be going higher next season and why is GP still chairman, and why is it that fans like me never heard of them before.

[80sCasual]

There are many questions which could have been asked but weren't such as:

why no early bird discount?
why no formal statement of "on the day prices"?
why no comparison with all premier league club prices?

and many more.

Also it shouldn't take 24 days to publish the minutes, and it doesn't say who took the minutes.

I think its about time for the OSC comittee to be elected by all season ticket holders and members. Thats not because I have any personal or direct criticism of the current comittee, but the group should be seen to be democratically elected.

Does anyone know how the current comittee came to be in position?

The LSA are independent and will always be. The OSC are puppets for the club. Those minutes from the meeting are laughable. It was as if they were agreed between each other. And for so many things to discuss they were awfully short.

People should have the option to join the OSC. They don't represent me. I bet I go to more games than most of the people on that committee.

[qblockpete]

Setting personal comments aside, if the club are going to only talk to the OSC it does shift them across to being the most prominent mouthpiece for supporters.

It genuinely surprised me todays announcement, as it is now apparant that OSC are a different "animal" to the one before.

I like the people on the OSC and they are getting slated unfairly in my opinion and I'm not for tens of groups seeing the club, but if it is going to be one group that a couple of club directors speak to on behalf of fans, than all season tickte holders and members should be allowed to vote for candidates

[vblockranger]

If its going to be only one group then it should be the LSA...
