Fans Rep on the Board - Who would you want?

I ve been a fan over 30 years and always knew of Vincent, but who is Sian? ,only ever heard of her since the rebrand

She was the head of BU.
personally I thought they were a disgrace and we got blue back dispite them. She is not involved in the trust, I guess members voted her on.
In fairness she came across well in recent interviews.

It would have to be vince though.

Again, I find myself agreeing with 2blue2handle on this subject!

Nothing personal against Sian, who certainly spoke well on Thursday, but she is (like several others) part of a specific group that ended up more ridiculed than revelled (again not entirely her fault) and certainly played little or no part in the eventual return to blue IMHO

That, as I stated elsewhere, was purely down to Tan seeing the IN-STADIUM protests (wearing of blue, 19:27 protest and eventually empty seats)

Still vince for me, IF one has to chosen

Only ridiculed by a couple on here plus a jumped up journalist who now has gone into hiding.

If BU had not been born the blue could have easily died. Before BU all we were doing was arguing amongst ourselves and lapping up red scarves with very few were wearing blue. The red brigade were having a field day with what was going on but when BU came along they went into hiding as well.

For the record the wearing of blue, 19:27 protest and eventually the empty seats were supported by the BU. To say BU was a disaster is well of the mark. To me BU had more bottle than well some other names being banded about, a lot more bottle. I can't see their rep being asked to join the board, the board could not handle the ultimate no person.

Who would you want as a fans rep on the board if tan allows it as it seems he would be happy with it if we are to go off media talk. Mine would be none other than Carl Curtis if I had to pick one from all the group's.

I would like Vince.Quiet but assertive.

What no votes for Gwyn ?



Vince I think

No one its pointless. No one person can represent all CCFC fans. Certain so called fans leaders skld us into our darkest time as City fans. Now would I like one on the board ? Nope

ANNIS OR VINCE -------- Annis would definitely be good for the fans because he never gives in 100 percent dedicated and not for show same goes for Vince - both over 40 years experience say no more

im surprised at how many people are suggesting annis to be honest, though perhaps i shouldnt be.


Anyway, dont we already have a fan on the board....?

Why are you surprised, Annis is a season ticket holder for around 40 years, his family have season tickets, travels home and away to watch his beloved bluebirds, was pivotal in the campaign to return to blue and is a successful business man.
I would have thought he'd be the ideal candidate.

i'm surprised because someone who plays games such as pretending to be a member of staff to get hits on a message board, and someone intent on news/rumours to fuel a message board with hits shouldnt be consider for such a role.


Now, not saying there is anything wrong with trying to make this place as busy as possible, but i think games such as those mentioned above wouldnt be welcome.... and as i said there is already a fan on the board

How about Keith Morgan (Since62)?

Wouldn't be phased by the financial side of things either.

Your entitled to your opinion Ian but disagree with every word.

I seen many an argument on here but mainly down to the way BU went about things.

The staff poster you refer to paul was just a bit of fun that maybe got out of hand and carl held his hands up and came clean, did he not? So respect to him for that.
My opinion is Annis has the perfect attributes to represent fans.
One bit of advice I'll give you Paul is don't take message boards so seriously.

For you to say that BU were an absolute disgrace shows to me that you have absolutely been living under a rock and have no idea at all how much time, commitment and effort was put in by Sian and her Committee. Enough said.

You make some valid points, but the fact is that BU failed due to the ne'er-do-wells that attached themselves to it and derailed its original (and well-intentioned) purpose of a simple return to blue

So many agendas and demands were heaped, as well as ridicule and intimidation (admittedly both ways) that it sadly soon disintegrated into a non-important group

To give BU credit for the 19:27 protest is a little cheeky, as so far as I can see at [b]EVERY /b] game, 99% of the stadium join in with that and only a small percentage are BU members

I repeat that IMHO it was the in-stadium protests that did the trick and not any marches or external group protests

Bums on or (in the Colchester case) off seats, the almost universal wearing of blue and the19:27 vocal protest were the catalyst for what happened last week

Not questioning Sian or her committee or the time it took, all done with good intentions no doubt.
But I know for me personally and a lot of people I spoke to didnt feel they represented us at all, I didnt like the tone of any "statement" released, the protest march thing was a PR disaster with reports of major racism, people climbing over the Keenor Statue, "I dont have to sell my soul" tshirts were a joke. The moderation of the FB page was very clever but not to my taste. Everything they did I didnt like. I have always 100% distance myself from anything BU.

In the end it doesnt matter, the Blue is back, if they helped or didnt is irrelevent as the target was accomplished.

For me it has to be someone who can converse with the average man/woman in the street as well as high profile business men and millionaires. He has to be shrewed, astute, articulate and intelligent, while at the same time being able to punch his weight in a heated discussion. A knowledge of finance and the running of companies would be an advantage.


so put all that together and you have.

In all seriousness, then Keith Morgan would fit that criteria.

You would at least get the truth and be guaranteed to know first on everything - he would be ideal IMO - Annis would be clearly focused and not be dictated to either - only the weak fall now I think about it he definitely gets my first vote

Come off it Sven. The 19:27 came about when all the groups got together. Who drove that getting together? Who led the that protest? Without that initial drive none of this would have generated.

Before I would choose anyone for the post, I think I would like to see who put themselves forward for the position.
Those mentioned so far may not want to do it!

sorry, I thought I was agreeing. My point was only that no single group can take credit for the 19:27 protest, as it was (as you allude) an amalgam of people/groups all of whom had to be inside the stadium to participate

Good comeback mate!
Don't worry about him, he loves his snidey remarks.
Doesn't matter if you've got 40 posts or 6,000 everyone's entitled to their view.

Annis never gave up on getting our identity back

Apart from the Dai Hunt comment, I agree completely. Unfortunately, the vast majority of the people mentioned in earlier posts do not have the qualities you suggest, especially the 'articulate and intelligent' one. I agree with the suggestion of Keith Morgan.
