Against The Machine should be able to pull a few strings to ensure we get our chosen candidate voted in. Apparently he's no longer in the know he just cones on here just to drag out this sorry episode as its deeply affecting him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irosshed and I was wrong Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Cannae believe Val’s a massive nazi. Absolute plot twist and was worth dredging through the nonsense of the last 100 pages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brashy's Boots Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I recall a hustings that was held in the Raith Suite about 4 years ago and at least four nominees put forward their views.The year Andy Mill got it there were 4 candidates. Andy, Bill Gilby, who now writes the programme, Paul Gilfillan, ex Starks Bark and another season tkt holder from Edinburgh - David someone. Andy was then re-elected 3 years later unopposed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Mr Sim is going to install a sprinkler system sometime soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, aye, us on here and the 500 quote tweets and 350 replies to it, which is more engagement on any tweet the Rovers put out other than Goodwillie related tweets. By comparison, the "We're in a final!" tweet had 52 retweets of any kind and 23 replies. As a general rule, if you're going to try and run a social media account, you want to avoid putting out content that actively encourages a pile-on. "No publicity is bad publicity" is categorically not true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael W Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 In all serious shaking up the board is what we wanted and I do hope that this is a real start towards doing that. Hopefully someone who can start to repair the damage that has been caused. I did have a wry chuckle at an HR professional joining given our very current employee issue as well. If she can help resolve that then I'll be very impressed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raith Against The Machine Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Interesting to note this bit of the statement too: Football has changed over the years and we as the Board feel that Susan with her HR and Small Business experience is uniquely qualified to help the club adapt. The players and fans of today are very different from the era in which many of the current Directors grew up and to survive the club must change the way we develop and support all of the Raith Rovers family whether that is players, club staff, volunteers, fans or the wider community. For this reason, we have also asked Susan to be the bridge between the Football Club and the Community Foundation. We really appreciate Susan accepting the challenge and know it is the responsibility of the Board to assist her with the implementation of the changes that she will undoubtedly recommend. It's not exactly how I'd have phrased it, it's a bit "I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was, and now what's it seems odd and scary to me!" but it's an actual acknowledgement of the issue that exists in the boardroom and that led to the Goodwillie situation. It's the closest we'll get to an admission of "We're all old white men", which needed to be recognised and rectified for everyone to move forward. This is the first tangible evidence that things will get better again. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Just to add that as I understand it nothing could really happen in terms of Sim stepping down, as he’s hinted at, and a new chairman being elected/appointed while we didn’t have a fans’ director so good to see the wheels in motion with that too.
