Surely there is a case to say that it also shows AL is in for everything. By not committing to any agreements or contracts, Simon Corney has given AL a feee hand what do with it in the future. It also puts a case that things are pretty close as he is not agreeing to anything. Of course, none of us know yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows The space was earmarked for a scanner for use by the NHS not sure if the NHS dragged their feet and decided it wasn’t viable or they got piseed off by Corney’s delay after delay. Despite the rumours the OEC itself MUST be making money it’s in use MOST days for conferences, open days and meetings etc... the top floor should be complete but Corney knows only one way and that’s half arsed. With two floors you could double the conferences, open days, meetings and Christmas footings etc... it’s a very popular venue - why wouldn’t you maximise it? Probably harsh on Corney as we know Bliyz is his puppet master but how they ever made any money ever is beyond me. I’d love to see them on the apprentice in fact they’d get laughed off flying start with their business acumen...Rick Attwood put forward this sort of pop up bar idea ten years ago.

oafcprozac Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Yeah I’ve heard that RM as my wife’s a nurse. Any sort of delay I suppose they reallocated the funds? Just from what my wife tells me though it’s crazy - she’s a community nurse and been involved in several redeployments and service shake ups this year and been told it’s happening again post Christmas. The number crunchers are king... The top brass seem to change on a bi monthly basis and despite the Tories promise to cut red tape and bureaucracy the layers of management (and inexperience) seem to be getting deeper.

I'll not say more on my view of the local NHS reorganization (or takeover). However some of the red tape that is new in the last few years is paying my wages. But that red tape is designed to improve patient safety in a small minority of cases. I don't think DevoManc is the panacea (especially for bureaucracy) the Tories have made out.

gerryisgod Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Hi Underdog Serious question........Does this mean that the relationship between the Trust and Club has thawed a little since last time we tried to do something to raise funds or are you dealing solely with the OEC? Good idea hope it works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea hope it works out Hi Gerry. To be honest, I'm not one of the Trust board members that has to walk through our club doors on a regular basis. However based on a review of the year so to speak and on trust monthly meetings I'd say its not improved. That's my opinion, other Trust directors may agree/not agree, I just have to point that out. So the relationship is a tentative one. We have a 3% stake in the club and a trust rep who sits on the board of OAFC, who is not afraid to ask those difficult questions, not many clubs have this and believe it or not are envious of it too. With regards to the OEC, it's a modern event centre after all, it's on our home ground, it has a space. We have used it before for trust events like meet the manager, launch of the former players trust, trust fundraiser like the magic night , trust AGM. So your Trust rep has explored it as a possible fans bar just as a one off to see if it's what us fans want and if it can be viable too. He's worked bloody hard to get it this far, its a chance though it could lead into a permanent place...it's in our hands. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't this time but we always used to have one or two in the Royle bar post match and phone a taxi after the crowds (remember them?) had died down....
