So year one as a CBS member is nearly up. So far to be honest I feel a little disappointed and short changed.
I know I could email my disgruntlement to the board or raise it at a coming meeting. However I feel that a public message board is more appropriate in the age of transparency.
I joined the CBS with a understanding that this was a new start, where fans would have a direct stake in the running of the club by forming a board of members selected by their peers. This has not happened and there has only been limited information about when we might expect an election to be held. Is this an issue that I might need to raise with supporters direct?
Or have I missed something and members can now put themselves forward to be selected to the board?
In the future will roles on the board be advertised to members with a summary of what position might entail?
A further moan at the moment is that I am disappointed that the Jonah money appears to not have found its way to Jem. If rumours are true then it is actually been used to reduce historic debts owed to current board members. Arguably a conflict of interest between the role of Director, CBS member and creditor of the club.
By stating on this message board what fans might expect to see different in the coming year in terms of what a membership to the CBS gets you other than an understanding that one day you night get a vote ,would surely only benefit membership uptake?
PS – the new bar and directors room has been a massive improvement and so has merchandise being behind the bar.
