When are the RAWA meetings minutes from the other week out?

[Ashley In!!]

Basically, there has now been two meeting.

In a nutshell:-
The first meeting got sidetracked early doors.
Because of this, time unfortunately got away from us, thus, many questions unanswered.
RAWA had the minutes typed up with a day or two, and sent off. During the hold up of other fan groups/club signing them off, we sent a list of the unasked queries to the club. It was at this point Donald contacted the lads who run RAWA, requesting if he could arrange a meeting to go through everything and try gain some clarity for fans on several matters.
That meeting happened on Wednesday, and hopefully a combined minutes of meetings will be out soon.

Good to hear. Genuinely worrying comments on the first meeting though. Will the nature of the sidetracking be available in the minutes?

To be fair to Donald, on the face of it, that sounds canny

Aye, on the face of it. My only concern is what happened at the first meeting that's meant he's had to step in, and whether we'll be allowed to know about it.

It always takes a long time because they have to be agreed by all the groups involved first. The minutes of the June meeting were just as delayed.

Or because Methven said something he shouldn't and the club flapped like fuck after.

He's always got an excuse for them.

Methven has too much to say for himself and holds our fans in contempt. Yet some people are happy to callhim Charlie like they've known him for years and hang on to him in the pub before an away game.

You are preaching to the converted here but someone will be along soon and try to compare the minutes of a football club's supporter's meeting with The Official Secrets Act.

The minutes should be a record of the discussions and any subsequent actions, not a record of what certain people want others to hear.

Agree but of course there can be interpretations on what is said so I don't object to the main points being agreed by the concerned parties but it should be a quick process - any member who cannot sign up to such a quick process should not be involved.

Hence why the minutes should be recorded by a competent person. If the minutes are distributed to all parties to amend, it makes a mockery of the process. If you don’t want something recorded during a meeting, then it shouldn’t be said.

In these days of transparency, there should only be minor factual points that need checking which should take minimal time.

Agreed.

Rumours that there was a big bust up with Methven?

 

[Ashley In!!]

Methven has too much to say for himself and holds our fans in contempt. Yet some people are happy to callhim Charlie like they've known him for years and hang on to him in the pub before an away game.

He wasn't, unless it was someone else doing the posting for him. Kildare would often post something when CM was demonstrably doing something else, like an RR podcast or clutching a pint at the Colliery.

Like that you mean?

Couldn’t make it up

 

[Mackem Tommy]

To be honest, I'd probably still have a pint with him. I despise our fan base sometimes so I don't blame someone with little affiliation feeling the same way.

And he'd pay.

Despise is a strong word, but an element of our fanbase is very frustrating.

Aye, but he'd ask for a double scotch when it was your round.

Said I'd go for a drink mate, not drinks.

Also, I've never seen him with anything other than a lager. I expect he'd want a premium but a Coors on his round.

i don't despise the entire fan base, but there are elements who certainly deserve it. Sadly, the noise they make is entirely disproportionate to their numbers.

Something like Coors is his preference. Whenever I've seen him, he's never been shy about getting his wallet out - and his order's exactly the same if someone else is buying.
