thought it was absolutely shocking last night that there were no representation from the board at the travel club end of season dance last night

the travel club is the main supporters club and the board didnt turn up just shows they have no interest in the fans absolutely shocking

Complete nonsense to say they have no interest in the fans. Get that chip off your shoulder son

[ALBERTZ_11]

At least the management team, backroom staff and the majority of players turned up.

I asked GN if he'd be starting Lyle up front next weekend and was informed that he couldn't drop Double D....Dobbie & Dykes.

Also didn't turn up at the big celebrations in the New Bazaar before the Travel Club dance but Mr Naysmith and his assistant Mr Anderson did in what was a packed to the doors event.

They probably didn’t bother when they found out you were going. .....

Donny,

I'm sorry I don't follow your logic here. An end of season dance for the travel club is for the members of the travel club and not for the BOD to be getting involved with, - unless a very brief appearance was made to allow those in attendance to get the party started.

My interpretation is that the BOD didn't want to appear like party poopers and be involved with an occasion that is none of their business.

Furthermore, - we are all totally aware that our chairman shy's away from any social occasion by choice, so why would he suddenly appear at a function at which he would feel like a fish out of water?

There are many ways for the BOD to show their appreciation to groups for a job well done, turning up at a major social function is certainly not one of them, and for anyone to suggest that their non -appearance "shows they have no interest in the fans and is absolutely shocking" is a very misguided statement.

There are times when constructive criticism can be helpful, but there are many times when personal gripes are best kept to yourself, especially when everyone, (thank God) is not like you.

I don’t recall them saying they were going so it doesn’t really matter IMO

Maybe they had other plans or more important things on their mind . Give them a break FFS

Really - there have been seasons where the Chairman and Directirs did not attend - The manager and players have as I recall always attended

[jardi]

Francis, - fair enough, if that is / was the case.

However, I tend to lean more towards Aloreburn, - we need to give the guys a break.

I'd far rather that they got things right on the pitch than appear here, there and everywhere on the whim of Tom, Dick and Harry.

Saturday was the first time in what seems like ages that there was a feel good factor at Palmerston and that's what we as fans should be asking of the BOD
