QUESTIONS FOR THE MANAGER AND BOARD

As previously announced, there is a Q&A session with the Manager and representatives of the Club and Community Sports Co. Board in the Community Sports Hall, after the game with Boston United on Saturday (24th).

TASC chairman, Brian Flynn, writes... "If anyone is unable to attend the 'Meet the Manager & Board' event on Saturday but wishes to ask a question, would he or she please email their question to Brian Flynn by Friday. Your question can be to Jim Harvey, the Board of Altrincham Football Club or the Board of the Community Sports Company".

Comments, Questions and Opinions welcome.

Couldn't make it either but feedback I was given isn't great, either.

[wayno]

Any one comment who went on how it was ?

[cheshire cat]

Maybe they've all been gassed.

[Mausoleum Alty]

No one seems prepared to comment so it must've been bad!!

[cheshire cat]

I should have put a Smiley in there. I hope something positive came out of the meeting but I am not hopeful.

I think the board are very brave having an open forrum.

[im not really here]

Jim Harvey spoke very well, he's aware of our current problems and has ambitions for the club going forward. I wish him well but have doubts about how much the board can match his ambitions and whether or not a bigger club will come in for him when we start doing well. As for the board q and a - no comment

[brinners]

My sources weren't too impressed either. Depressing.

[Mausoleum Alty]

As I suspected by the sounds of it. This board are more focused on community than football.

[Trouty]

The manager q&a went very well and Jim Harvey knows what he is talking about and I do expect him to get us out of this awful position we are in.

The board q&a was very different and certainly got the feel that its them and us despite the chairman trying to describe the club as being all of us.

The man sat to the chairmans right(Andrew Shaw?) was very patronising with some of his responses and at times didn't seem to understand the question getting mixed up
between someone to help them appoint a new manager and a director of football type appointment.

I can understand why so many people have become disillusioned with things that are going on within the club.

Was a bit of a shame not more people could attend the q&a session.

Hold on. There's no actual context on here yet. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. I want a transcript not a one line opinion.

Just doing this meeting is a positive. We need to build on it

Edit: it sounds f**ked 

[Mausoleum Alty]

Andrew Shaw is more interested in Man City than Altrincham FC and comes across as patronising most of the time not just at this particular meeting.

[distancetraveller]

I was there and I too found Mr Shaw somewhat arrogant and spoke to some people in a way I found a bit disconcerting
I came away with the impression that Jim Harvey's vision for the club are somewhat different to those of the board.

I also got the impression that there were plenty of people in the audience who were there to pop poo anything that resembled criticism of Rowley and the board.

Overall I left with a bit of a bad taste in the mouth. I hasten to add that Jim Harvey seems the right man to get us out of the mire on the field, along with his new assistant Buzz.

I spoke to George Heslop prior to the meeting to ask how he and wife Jen were and he informed me that he has had notice from the club that he and Jen have been told that there services are no longer required by the club !!!  This shocked me more than anything  NB I do realise that Jen isn't well.

[MadFrankie]

It doesn't quite tally that we make constant appeals for volunteers for,various tasks and then treat 2 of our stalwart volunteers in this way.

The club is currently one PR disaster after another. The board will hopefully learn one day.

[AFC56]

The board are a bit strange to be honest, I'm just glad that we've got a decent manager in now and the board can hopefully fade into the background.. I've long since been interested what the chairman has to say.
