It's normal for any AGM to be open only to the members (if a club) or shareholders (if a company). Do you think there was some skullduggery involved? I'm led to believe there is no legal obligation on clubs to have open AGMs, dozens are doing it. Doesn't sit right but happens.

If the money is legally owed back the club is fucked. The park would have been handed over to Darvel (if they wanted it ) like all the other like facilities in East Ayrshire. EAC transferred most of them to the community a few years back.The Sports centre in Darvel and pitch being one such facility transferred. There will be clauses though such as you can't just sell it for housing. I assume the pieman now owns the club and probably him and his family are the only shareholders. Hence why there is no balance sheet. If he goes the pitch and facilities will still be there for a Darvel team to play on. At what level though is a different matter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also didn’t realise Darvel was a limited company and visible at Companies House re shareholding etc.When did they convert from an unincorporated association ie a club to a limited company? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EAC transferred the sports centre,the football park at Newmilns, Hurlford community centre and countless other pitches and community centres to whoever wanted to run them. I would think recreation park would be no different but I suppose you could e mail the council and find out if they had transferred it to the football club. They haven't been responsible for the upkeep for years now and I doubt very much they would want it. As for the football club you would need to ask the pieman if he owns it. It's under his stewardship and it's his money ( supposedly) that's keeping it afloat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugbyroader Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 John Gall, Mick Kennedy and the Darvel players have acted arrogantly since Gall and Kennedy got involved. There have been statements made on here that the players aren’t there for the money. We’ll find out if that is true. It can hardly be a surprise that fans of other clubs will revel in their demise. Kennedy’s departure is interesting. The Tier 5 Conference is allegedly coming and the SFPL are going to force it through even if it means setting up a separate corporate structure to avoid a vote. There will be Lowland League teams involved. East Kilbride are likely to be one of them. Being relegated into that league makes it easier for former senior league clubs to be promoted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And acted like utter arseholes for two solid seasons while doing it... anyone who has looked in this thread will be well aware that It's mostly people correctly calling them wankers, etc, at the various times where that's what they've behaved like over the course of the last 24 months or so. It's all fairly run of the mill and mundane football rivalry stuff. Feel free to give Darvel all the pity and sympathy you want but let's have all the fanboys drop the pretence that they don't understand why people dislike Darvel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that was done because all of these were under the councils upkeep, The football club were on a long term lease and still were 2 years ago, regarding being a plc the only one I can see is reference the old Darvel Juniors which was defunct many years ago. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AM-1 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Seems obvious they're there for the ridiculous wages on offer and what follows will be premier league mediocrity for the club once they chase the doh at EK. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
