I believe fully paid up members now exceed 400. £15 and you can join us. ;)

412 currently I understand

All glory hunters welcome coltrane ;) Serious point though, we need all the members we can - for things to go to plan we need as many people as possible to join. I don't understand people who will follow us next season saying they'll join then - we'll be making decisions NOW that will impact on those very people next season, why not have a true say right now?

Don't delay, join our happy band today - do it quick and you'll secure the exclusive number 413

Joining, for such a minute fee, means the survival of everything we've loved over the last 20-years, but with our own say and our own control.


It's a no brainer.

Do keep up Piggers, we've got 418 members now ;) ;)

418 is good for a boys team but don't drive punters away by labeling those who just want to watch a team as "Glory Hunters" not everyone wants to be a member of the club just to watch a team play, wasn't it your very own piggers who refused to join the supporters trust last year?

So exactly what was your point in querying the percentage of votes required on the constitution rules amendment if you clearly have no interest in becoming a member?

People don't have to be members to take an interest if the post was only intended for members it would have been published on the secret members only board wouldn't it? :lol:

The post was directed at members since only members can vote. ;) BartonRaz, in his capacity as one of this board's moderators, was just reminding paid up members that at least one third of members need to vote to ensure that we do not fall foul of constitution rules in accepting this amendment to ensure that our club can play senior football next season.

That's why some people just want to turn up to watch the game rather than getting involved with all the politics, I'm sure that 400 plus people is enough to run a club.
