Beginning to think we won't see the outcome of the "Summit Meeting" until the end of the season. Not quite sure why the menagerie are putting together an "article" as WQ put it rather than a plan. But then again, our plans have more in common with the battle of Isandlwana than anything else.

IIRC that was a “ surprise” defeat by what were assumed inferior troops. After a bit of tooling and froing and Rourkes Drift we hammered them with superior fire power. Our plan here seems to be to throw an inexperienced L1 manager into a really difficult situation and then bin him when it doesn’t work out. Then take exactly the same steps again with exactly the same type of manager. Good interview or not I fail to see how 40 point spankings by North Wales is a better indicator of success than 2 point wins over Swinton. Neither impress but as least TT is bedded in with the players and has some Champ experience.
As for the PL move, now that Man of Kent doesn’t post we have complete consensus on that. The only argument seems to be we have run down ET so badly in terms of on and off field product, marketing and fan engagement that it will fail so we have to go somewhere else. To be honest we could book a pitch at Hackney Marshes for £30 and charge the 50 or so attending an honesty “entrance” fee of £2, sell tea and coffee and buns have a cheap programme and we would definitely make a profit as opposed to PL where we will lose 10s of thousands.We won’t grow the game there because those losses are unsustainable.

I guess it was a surprise in as much as Chelmsford had 15000 well armed troops 10000 of which he sent to surround the Zulus in a place that weren't. He then sent half his remaining troops on a wild goose chase and his scouting was so poor he failed to notice the 20000 Zulus camped over the ridge. The rest is history as they say. If the Zulus has been better acquainted with the Martini Henry rifle, then Rorks Drift might of turned out different. Anyway calamitous planning & execution are without doubt on a par with Broncos.

HT my guess is they’ve gone - Fev are successful. Fev are part time. We want to be successful we’re going part time. All the fans went silent. Taking this to be agreement they went on: we need a young progressive manager with L1 experience but not Tom Tsang. He keeps losing. So we’re binning him and getting in JC. And we’ll be raiding Skolars for their best prospects. They followed up by announcing that Wimbledon is going to a pedestrian only borough from October and anyone wanting to attend will need to jet pack in. They didn’t see any major problems with this as everyone has a jet pack.
At this point people started throwing things and the meeting broke up. At a wash up meeting Broncos management agreed it had been a successful fan engagement and the mood was largely supportive.

If the "Article" doesn't get published soon, the pressure will be on WQ to step up to the plate & reveal all with a straight face.

If it takes this long to get out a summary of a meeting, is it any surprise the club is in the state it is.






Gus Mackay we salute you!!

I have to say I believe that you will be waiting a long time to be told by the club what occurred at the meeting.

By the way, WQ cannot tell you. He was not there.

I’ve got a summary from Jason for all the questions that were compiled on here.
They asked that they are not published as they will release them

I sent these questions through to J and J and have written responses

Communication;

Limited communication in 2021. Why has it been so limited.
Why isn’t communication consolidated and ‘official’ ie same messaging on email, FB, instagram, twitter……..
Some ‘official’ communication responsibilty appears to have been passed to some supporters. Is the wise??

Club strategy

Where is the club looking to be in 2, 5, 10 years?
The club appears to have gone from a mix of quality players from both the UK and Australia with a few academy players to one principally based on ex academy players. Is this the future?
Is there an ambition to get promoted to SL?
The coaching team has gone from 3 to 1 in a matter of weeks. Is the club looking to back fill the vacancies to a full compliment?

Wimbledon

There was an initial communication regarding Wimbledon from the CEO but nothing has followed. Is there more to come?
What is the plan for the move
Are we looking to ‘launch' the move as a new future for the club (Given the increased cost of the stadium) and will this mean a more competitive team

Supporters

Since The Stoop days the supporter base attending matches has dropped from 3-5000 to todays numbers of less than 1000 (Accepting the club is now in the championship). Are the club looking to win back the lost supporters and if so, how?
Can the supporters assist in promoting the club. At Brentford supporters delivered leaflets to the local community
Will the club be targeting new/different demographics as potential supporters
Buck & Dusty were part of the club branding (and attractive for the kids) are we looking to enhance the clubs branding?






Mac out!
