Tonight's meeting is scheduled to be an hour so I'm not sure how much North Stand discussion they'll be given this situation has cropped up.
The only irony here is that you're completely discrediting the efforts of people who put in a lot of time & effort on behalf of fellow fans, without having the slightest notion of what they've done or achieved, and when you'd have no intention of putting in a tenth of the time and effort that they have.
I've made it clear that I partly agree with you. I definitely agree that the club sell CM short and we've had numerous, sometimes heated exchanges with them over this for some time. But without that direct channel with the club, many fans wouldn't have had the opportunity to get things quietly sorted out. And one of the first things we did, nearly four and a half years ago, was talk about the North Stand extension. The club presented its plans and some weren't to our liking, so we made our own suggestions, such as covering City Square and stopping them moving the Family Stand to somewhere completely unfeasible.
And re the joint letter issued, that was nothing to do with City Matters or approved by it. The chairman was told in no uncertain terms that he was wrong to get involved in that without consulting the rest of the group. And to his credit, he realised he was in the wrong.
The meetings aren't quite as formal as that generally but yes in theory we can do that.I’m sure the above questions won’t take long to ask and answer, mate. :-)
I’ll settle for when is the planning application is being submitted, week of the month. And the Centurion naming question. The fans survey might still be being worked through. And better CGI images of the proposal will probably be released closer to or when the planning application is submitted.
Do you get the opportunity to forward your questions to the bods at City before the meeting?
Liverpool U18's fan as well then?I find it hard to disagree with the CSB tweet. They found out that a so called City fans rep supports another team. Hell I found her TikTok post in 2 minutes where she supports Chelsea playing our women's team.
For a person with a Masters you would have thought she might see that what she was doing was not right.
I would say though, that Fran lives on all the social media platforms and the images are all public domain.
Talking of which ... She has just played the ADHD and Anxiety card on Twitter, what a surprise!
Tell them if I can park near the building I’ll do the minutes for you and have them ready for publishing within 48 hrs or even 24 hrs! I did it for years for the union. :-)The meetings aren't quite as formal as that generally but yes in theory we can do that.
Usually we get an agenda in advance then presentations are made. We're then given the chance to comment and ask questions.
I'll ask those above and get back to you.
No that isn't the whole point of twitter. I've met some great people via twitter. Some people use it to pile on to other people but I wouldn't have expected see an organisation like Canal Street Blues, who advocate on behalf of a community who have historically been marginalised in the game, to take a path like that against another member of their community.
I can't say whether she blagged her way onto CM or not. The only person in this thread who actually has sat on the CM committee has said she is absolutely a fan of the men's team and has worked as hard as anybody on there, so who am I to argue with that. For whatever reason she's decided she wants to be involved with Chelsea as far as the women's game goes and for that reason I don't feel she should be CM rep anymore. But it could have been dealt with privately. Honestly, in the grand scheme of things it's really not worth getting upset about or somebody getting abused over. I suspect there's some personal beef at play here and it isn't a very classy way of dealing with things.
Cheers Danny. Much appreciated.The meetings aren't quite as formal as that generally but yes in theory we can do that.
