I have held back and held back from commenting on this subject in the vain hope that common sense would prevail, however, it seems that all that is happening is that we are going round in bloody circles!!
I belive that Ossyclogger is right in what He says...........ie turn up to
A meeting and put forward your ideas for change and vote em through.......as a fairly active member of the OSC, I have tried on at least one occasion to explain to the 'older' members of the OSC that we are seen as somewhat outdated and unapproachable ( I know we are not unapproachable, however a lot of fans dont!), only to be told that its not up to the OSC to approach the fans, but the other way round!!
Now I dont agree with that in any way, in fact since that was said to me I havent attended a meeting..........I know that kinda defeats the object, but one or two people
cant change things on thier own, hence Ossycloggers rally call should be heeded..............the more members we can get to the next meeting, both old and new, who think that we need to move in a different direction, then the better chance we have of actually affecting change.
Macca, you have the beginings of a solid idea in your last post, we do need an independant but yet official SC, properly run, minuted and organised, which is TOTALY transparent to all, however when we looked at posting minutes on the net, I feel sure there was a data protection problem...........perhaps Henry Morton could put us in the picture regarding this?
The Ultras do a great job, of that there is no doubt, however they are not as transparent as they could be ( ie secret area of the Ultra site, to which you have to be given permission to view/post), which is why some of the OSC members are not sure of the direction you are going............not a dig , mearly a
personal observation.
I will be going to the next meeting, in the hope that just maybe some of you will follow and help us to affect the changes that we sorely need, it would mean a totally different direction for the OSC, but I for one feel that change is long overdue.
Change
CAN happen but only with support and input from you guys, so come along to next meeting and help us to achieve it now rather than later.
Ok now climbing down from my soapbox.............
