Personally, The club has my money from the season ticket kickback. So it's the club for me and that's who I have approached for a refund and have had confirmation this would be honoured. So I presume they have my signed waiver form still and have kept this info maybe on a database at the club for the finances with regards to initial launch, the trust were not involved and fundraising in the main I believe was done on line so I will presume Tifosy will have, but maybe a Tifosy online contributor can confirm how their payment info was captured. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent news it's only taken....ooo say three months from corney confirming this new route in jan so why offer fans a refund iif we are still going to get a scoreboard? Hmmmm anyways the trust I'm sure will be able to give fans independant piece of mind that the monies are in a secure club account once we have gained full access to the finances. tba folks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) 10 pages of slagging Corney and the club for something they haven't done. Just another day on OWTBS... This relationship breakdown between the club and the fans I keep hearing so much about? How are the stay away, negative, glass half empty, jump to conclustions, always looking at companies house, waiting for thd club to trip, the club can't win no matter what fans helping this!?

jsslatic Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Why would the club refund the scoreboard money if it wasn't at least originally being used for the perimeter boards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Bit weird how the club apparently didn't clarify that the scoreboard fund wasn't being used for the perimeter advertising when the trust apparently asked them for clarification, or at any of the fan meetings.

Not really. Simon loves to trip people up. He's been getting heat over it. So holds back his trump card and plays it to make the Trust look impatient. He clearly knew this was going ahead. He would know when the latest Trust meeting was and having been evasive would know the Trust would be making comment on the situation. Clear tactics to undermine the Trust.

rosa Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 From the minutes of the February Trust board meeting. Seems like the sensible thing would have been to say that the Tifosy money wasn't being used for the perimeter boards when asked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I can't work out whether the Trust lads have dropped a right bollock here or been bang on the money and pressured SC/TTA into digging deep and leaving the scoreboard fund intact. Either way - we've got some LED boards that might make us/SC/TTA some money. Win win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 If Corney isn't talking to one of his own directors about this stuff what's the Trust meant to do. Money is fluid. £27k can be ring fenced on a spreadsheet but if the overall account is overdrawn it doesn't really exist. I hope the dandy advertising boards work well. But it would be more reassuring to hear news that a scoreboard is still going to happen. Mysteriously not mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Copied over from NNN fans meeting notes in January, in attendance SC, MM and AG. This is quote with regards to the scoreboard| He has been trying to source a scoreboard from China. He was very grateful for the £21k but he is also aware that for £21k (even excluding installation costs) you will get a very small screen. He is looking at options, one being perimeter boards, that would cost significantly more but may allow the club to generate revenue from sponsorship/advertising etc. He is still working on it and hopes to have something in place for the start of next season. The visitors from China are involved in that industry and he added they were being courted as potential investors too although he wanted to keep it quiet and low key at the request of the potential investors. He also said that if anyone who has donated towards the scoreboard wants their money back he is happy to refund.
