I know what you're saying Katei but about the Arndale stall, it had been known by the club for a while that the space in the Arndale was available to them each Monday foc, at a meeting the ASSF had with Dan & Martin on 4th August, Dan mentioned they had been made the offer and that they wanted it to be a 'presence in the town', mainly to promote the Goldbond draw & sell official merchandise but they were struggling to man it. I offered to help out as at the time Monday was my day off work, Dan said he would be in touch when they needed me.
The next I heard was a month later at the SOS forum on 4th September - we ran it for the first time on Monday 7th, by then it had been turned into the sos stall.
So , although you're right in that as an sos fundraiser it was thrown together quickly - they had had time to plan something properly

4weeks is very short time in business,in the 4weeks leading upto the 1st SOS stall running the taxman was getting faster at chasing DON and co,i would think the stall idea was very low on the list of things to do,although it should of be higher on the list ie more income,the club then handed it over to the SOS appeal,more than likely with huge sign of relieve,1 less job for them!

Sorry i dont mean to offend its just the way it is with the club, our shop, the OSC has even tried to offload the store onto us so that the merchandise issue would be solved. We had someone run the club shop before and if u read old threads & im sure someone here will clarify had problems with their merchandise. Im all for new ideas it just was an idea out of many thats been tried & failed, frustratingly. Like i say unless a new board come along to take over then souch ideas may grow into fruition but whilst things stands as they are then no proper successful changes will happen, its the realistic answer atm we have all tried to address these issues & no doubt finding out yourself its being ignored or not listened to

No offence taken,think fans are becoming very mad through passion for stanley and jumping on each other comments,not a shock given the hell we are be put through

If we get through wed everyone who beileves they can help the club in a small or big way should be listened to not told oh we did that before it didnt work
look at the reasons why it didnt work can it work if things were done a little different

as for the present board they need to see they have a huge group of people willing to give their time for free in many cases to take the club forward
