Meeting tonight. 20:00 in the South Stand Bar : Mon Aug 08, 2011 8:48 am  

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned on here before, so I apologise if it has. At 20:00 tonight there is a meeting in the South Stand Bar, which has been arranged by fans independently of the club, to discuss the decision not to award Halifax a licence.

T he whole point of the meeting is to see if there is any mileage in forming a group of fans who will move things forward as to try to challenge the RFL on many issues , For instance who is allowed to ask them questions as they apear to put in place "gagging orders " Our BOD s are not allowed to question , journalists are not allowed to question eg Harry Gration etc and even the Supporters Direct which is supposed to be an Indipendant body set up to be the voice of fans are funded by the RFL .
So there is only fans left with a voice and the meeting was called to ensure that it was controled and united.As many fans were talking of doing all kinds of things eg protesting on pitch and things like that which would be a disaster for the Club.So if anybody has any ideas how to move things forward in a controled way please come down to the meeting tonight and speak up.

Black masks I say, like Dick Turpin, cheap and easy.

sorry but i and probably many other fans like me wont be attending any meeting until we find out from the club why our licence application wasn't successful - how can we move forward otherwise??

If you plan to have a meeting to discuss SD (amongst other things), do you not think it would have been wise to invite SD to the meeting in order to respond?

Which is great except that I live in London which is somewhat far away to be attending meetings where I would not be guaranteed the opportunity to respond to recent criticisms.

I dont think you have been overly criticised , just that your position is a difficult one , given your funding situation , which i'm sure you'll agree does pose a potential conflict of interest

I am most certainly not criticising the Supporters Direct, our Clubs Board or journalists such as Harry Gration for being unable to speak out, it is a question we are asking as to who can speak out ?
