there were no sausage rolls :o :(

Well its nice to have such a positive meeting for once and the whole thing while a challenge with hard work needed as emphasised at the meeting I accept, is quite exciting actually and hopefully before we know it we'll be at the start of AFC R&D's inaugural season in 2012 in the UCL Prem if all goes to plan and we work hard, the start of an adventure I'd say

And also have to say extremely well done to those who were behind tonight's meeting, i.e. Marshall and Ralph (I think it was!) at the front and those several others as well, they've clearly worked extremely hard and the whole meeting went very well I'd say.

Totally agree, a very positive meeting, which was conducted profesionally, it was nice not to hear any "spin" going on too. Well done to everyone involved

Indeed, it will be hard work, which will put a lot of people off as they have been spoon fed in the past, we need doers not don'ters

Cracking meeting tonight, well done to all involved, especially to Marshall and Ralph who led the meeting so professionally, but also to the guys behind the scenes who have obviously all worked so hard.

A hard route ahead, but exciting all the same - the prospect of watching a youth side this year really appeals to me, I hope it can be pulled off, I've been greatly encouraged talking to various people tonight.

I'm still a tad worried that the "movers and shakers" to make it all happen haven't yet come forward - we need leaders and while I see lots of people willing to help (which is terrific) we do need people to assume the top jobs, by their own mouths Marshall and Ralph indicated they may not be willing to take it forward beyond getting the ball rolling - we need some key people, have we got them waiting in the wings somewhere?

The next few weeks will be interesting, but as I say, I'm greatly encouraged after tonight.........oh and another £320 in the kitty

Yes a good outcome, and with some local businesses looking to back the new club as well, we could soon have our club back 8-)

Another advantage of a fan owned club, no being lied to or messed around by businessmen.
