| Quote billybradshawsmum="billybradshawsmum"Other info from F/reds meeting, but just to say, it isn't a clique or anything, just I havnt had the time to write up all the info.
Marwan started by apologising for the bottle incident report after the game on the radio, saying he had been badly mis- informed & he intending to apologise to everyone concerned,which he has now done & hopefully that is the end of the matter.
Asked if he was on target for recruitment, ....... Hopefully, tried to bring players in but because of contracts found it impossible, so will have to play on with the players we have.
Targeted around 10 players, 4 already signed, won't reveal names, but said some were playing tonight(Monday) .
What young ones in the squad have caught your eye? A few of them particularly Sneyd, Theo, Adam to name some, & hopes they are the start of a long line of our home produced players in future.
What of the salary cap? Should get extra money for home grown, or don't count part of their salary on the cap, well documented that he doesn't think 1.8 mill cap is enough to allow to get the team he wants.
Asked re ownership of the stadium? Club needs long term stability so to do that need ownership, will take time but will happen.
Asked about accessibility for purchase of tickets, ............ Said hopefully there will be around 12 outlets to buy tickets, ie, Trafford centre, Salford precinct, Lowry outlet & hopefully in supermarkets to name some.
Shop, merchandise etc? Hopefully, shop will change, in the mean time, there is plans to have a couple of hubs outside the fans bar area ( like Canterbury had) to sell merchandise as the situation at present is unacceptable.
Website? That will be revamped
9th August, Leeds home game, new players to be announced, new kit branding etc.
It's going to be a long journey to get to where we want to be, fans need to stay strong with us,it will happen.
After 4 months what changes do you envisage happening?
Ed Farish is moving back to Australia, with a new CEO coming in, who has been a manager for 20 years at a blue chip company. He doesn't have a rugby background, but a very sound business background & Brian Noble will be in charge of rugby business.
Training facilities? ........ Presently at Leigh, but not for much longer, a gym building in space under east stand until a high performance gym & centre of excellence is built in surrounding area of stadium.
Debt with the council? ......... Left with a previous debt, but need to spend money on the team,
Player recruitment?......... Present players have been informed it was a clean sheet when Brian came in, all need to show they want to be here, only players who want to be here 100%, they have to play for their futures, some probably know they won't be here & others know they have a chance.
What's Graham Lowe & Andrew Chalmers roles, are they still involved? .......... Graham has been trying to source players in Aus & Andrew was back over at MM weekend. They are mates & we chat & they advise me.
Sale?? ........ Discussions!!!
Why do players always KO to same spot? .......... Most teams do the same, aim to keep the opposition as far back in their half, when you are on the back foot as we was on Sunday, it doesn't help, but it's also what foot the kicker uses .(answered by Highto)
Jordan Davis? ............ Playing with the 20's presently as not played RL professionally but looking good.
Sponsors for next year? ......... Talking to business people to try & get everything sponsored,
Hopefully even stadium.
Wants to make the standing "the shed"
The road/ access? ........ The new road will be finished in 2014 will make it easier.
The new CEO replacement will be over hauling all aspects of the admin, everyone will be giving a chance.
Asked if he was contentious in some of his statements? ....... That's what I do was his answer.
That's more or less what transpired.
Forever Reds AGM also took place , the board members were re-elected + a new member was elected on to the board, Kevin Morley, welcome to the Forever Reds board.
The Audit amendment was passed unanimously & the 2012 accounts were available to see.'"
This is my favourite question  which numpty asked this? Thanks for the report Shirley | | | |

Thanks Shirley. That's really helpful. I'd love to attend these meetings myself but Mondays on a work night are impossible for me. | | |

Sorry for getting you accused of being cliquey, again, Shirl! My post elsewhere was taken out of context. Thanks for the write up!

which numpty asked this? '"
Probably someone who watched a red and white tidal wave followed by a primrose and blue tidal wave.
The same person who may prefer to see NO REPEAT restarts but would much prefer the ball to bounce in-field aimed towards Fox which then bounces over the head of Fox on Monday night.This will result in TT and Justin Poore spending a little time bent in a scrum,in preference to rampaging towards our line.
I am surprised you have changed to having a pop at a fellow supporter instead of one of our young players.
I didn't ask the question. | | | |

Shirley, thanks very much for this detailed report. So beneficial for those of us who, logistically, can't be there or those who aren't invited into the clique... 
Clearly as a business man, he is not carrying people, which is refreshing to us as a club. I'm sure it will be an interesting ride over the next few years. Hold on.... | | |
