Not that I'm defending the club but what entitles you to a refund? Surely everyone that purchased or renewed did so in the summer when fans were still banned from stadiums.

Not saying that I agree with any of it like, especially the cost.

Have other clubs done things differently?

A work colleague is a mag st holder and they are monthly DD payers. They are allowing this year to pay for next if no games are played with fans. Ig games are played you'll receive pro-rated refund or pay same less for next year. If bad old fat mike can do that surely ours can. Rodwell also on record as saying if you don;t use stream you can gain refund. I'll certainly be doing that and they;ll not hget a penny more from shop etc until things change in a big way!!!

Nobody from RAWA gains anything from volunteering as reps. Or certainly not that I know of.
He might be getting mixed up with podcasts/fanzines, who obviously gain extra eyes/ears, or merchandise sales.
Or branch groups who may get ticket incentives.
But everyone I know involved with any of these mainly do it through their love of the club.


Who?

the co-op reps. It’s not a criticism just makes it difficult.

Fair enough, mate. I’ve noticed how much you’ve backed RAWA on here of recent, and as a rep, I don’t wanna appear like one of these type who can’t take criticism or a different opinion. Nor does the actual group.
Though I will say, when RAWA were told that the meeting was gonna be cancelled and for the reason it was, I think we thought that the club having to go on record of saying that a takeover was nigh, was a better job done than an actual meeting with fended off/unanswered questions would’ve been.

From any bits you / RAWA know do you believe a takeover will happen & SD / CM will lose control?
 
Over the road its been reported santi 40% milky bar kid 40%......fek no that leaves don and charlie with a big say if the santi and mbk dont agree !I doubt mbk motives here as you would not want to invest in something that you were keen to play a big role in if you could be outvoted .......sounds like a hands off investment to me by what the zz top fella calls a locust.

Nah they didnt. The club cancelled the meeting. The club didnt ask the fan groups if it was ok to cancel the meeting. Rawa immediately expressed disappointment at the cancellation.

I know they did, that’s why I said they meekly accepted it. The club have to have these by EFL rules and If you think my tongue in cheek comment was what actually happened, I despair
The RAWA statement on 11th November asked for a swift and positive resolution, they even mentioned cynicism. It was then that they should be asking for timescales to review, not just an open ended deferral

Nixon said as much too, new fella & Sartori joint shareholders and lets hope they stay friends. It concerns me that Sartori / SD / CM reportedly have 60% between them still

RAWA need to bang on that door until we get answers as the club is at the lowest it’s ever been and for me there is no takeover. It’s all smokescreens.

I do mate, I honestly do back them and DR seems a cracking lad who knows his stuff. I just think they have missed an opportunity. Then again I am royally pissed of with the club and things around it at the moment

The Co oP reps are a useful sounding board mate, in an attempt to be representative beyond the elected reps. It's a good thing. One of the sections represented (16 areas are covered like family section, away fans, atmosphere, disabled, LGBTQ etc etc) is the corporate section of fans which I assume is what is being referred to. It doesn't detract from the efforts to represent fans. It helps.
