Can I just say as a LISA member I have no idea whatsoever wether it is a good thing or not to be on the board or just have shares ,no idea at all, so I wouldn't know which way to vote and neither would my friends to be honest .This is why I haven't commented on the thread .

Whilst being a LISA supporter but not a member I will also donate a fiver towards postal and other costs re a postal vote.

I should imagine your in the majority with that view

Sorry folks but I shouldn't be commenting on here with why I feel right now, Ive got things on my mind, and theres people out there who need love and support all this is irelevant so Lets leave it alone for now,.Lynda

Should the club make and release a statement as to what it wants from having a LISA member on the board and what ,if anything, it is offering LISA members?.

PHIL did at the meeting

Before I vote I need to know the pros & cons otherwise its a wasted vote for me

The club have got 1500 other supporters who might like to know as well

I don't think they should J.C. it is only of importance to LISA members (and TBH the board will still function without a LISA rep) if it interests others then they should join, a statement from an organisation is different than placing it on an open bulletin board like this, an extraordinary AGM should be called by LISA and the pros and cons discussed, a vote postal or by members present on 1 whether a LISA rep should be on the BOD and 2 Who that person should be. There can be no other way a democratic decision is made but by it's members and this seems the only way.

Lynda, don't let the odd person shoot you down, their opinion is not neccesarily the opinion of everyone else. It was the same when Bert used to attend - just because he was one of the half dozen who liked speaking up he swayed desicions and spoke the majority whether they agreed or not.
Unfortunately a lot of people don't like to speak in front of a group - nothing wrong with that (I am one), so things need to go to a vote of ALL members - not just the few regulars (75% of whom don't speak up either).
Costs therefore should come from LISA funds for any stationery / postage etc. If not then those that don't find out about votes & changes etc will probably drop out of LISA so you would lose £60 per year compared with about 36p for a stamp.

Frankb here having to use another name because I was locked out when the site kept crashing a week last Sunday evening.

Before this goes to a postal vote (which would cost LISA over £200 of funds raised by supporters to fund players contracts incidentally)I want to know why this is so important.

I cannot see the point of a LISA member attending a Board meeting where effectively all they would be doing is listening to the Board members whose opinions matter.

Any points raised by fans be they LISA members or not can quite easily dealt with at the Fans Forums' on here' at LISA meetings or dare I say it by ringing the club.

Lets be frank there is absolutely no benefit to the club or LISA by a member sitting in on a Board meeting. And the idea of having a postal ballot seems a scandalous way of using LISA monies.

Now anyone who wants to be a candidate should explain how it would improve the club and then if I agreed with that I might change my opinion.

I have no agenda I just think this is a pointless excercise with absolutely no plus points.

Easy for you to say

I agree with Frank over the board member but disagree over the ballot. I agree with Leigh 24.7 that the price of the postal ballot would be better than loosing say four members. I'm affaid no one has given a proper reason why things have to change from the fantastic progress has been made between all parties upto now.

There isn't one

I had a good read of the ' Iris ' last night , I wonder if I can blag the RFL for a dozen Canon XF 100 ,s ?

Goodluck. I have left a message with a bloke who used to organise stuff like you were talking about at Granada but he hasn't rung me back yet. He will though.

I had a chat with the guy at Sheffield , very interesting , very similar idea's , except he knows what he's talking about

I'll have a couple of those Canon's if they are going spare

Dont be greedy Fred , the idea is a half share each , although we will probably be asking for one each first



I'll speak to you later in the week

Re a postal vote or not, without one how do you reach every LISA member - for surely it's one of ghe most important LISA issues to have arisen -

TBH Steve I haven't a clue what you and Tony are going on about It was just a natural reaction to the word [size=200FREE[/size

why not have all the members of LISA vote at the next meeting. Each candidate says why they want to be elected and vote by placing the name of your favourite in a box.

Just another part of how the Championship clubs will take over the world at some point in the future Fred , and dont tell me you dont know what a Canon XF 100 is ?

Trouble being Ste is that of the 600 members only around 25 and sometimes a lot less actually attend meetings and this should be an important issue, the first question (IMO) that should be asked is DO LISA ACTUALLY WANT BOARD REPRESENTATION?

I still have seen no poster on here who can tell us why this issue is important and how it would benefit the club or LISA.

Yet we still have people who want to go to the expense of a postal ballot for something which helps no one.
