Should have made the effort and went to the meeting yourself!!

Steve Massey was one who did attend - he comments in his Mutterings Issue 7 now online

Just read that. It did not say a lot, no detail as such so I'll have to find a Falmouth packet to see some more detail, if there is any ???

However, sleeping giant of Cornish football is certainly true, the biggest club in Cornwall in my opinion.

Trouble is when you pay out the sort of money they have over the years then its going to bite at some stage. Brewery loans, bank loans, mortgages and remortgages has got to spell serious trouble. Servicing debt, wether an individual or business is draining, put that together with falling attendances and bar takings - you're in the doo doo I'm afraid. Previous encumbents have a lot to answer for.

Solutions ?? thats a difficult one, winning helps to a point. Volunteers, if you can round any up you'll have done well. Increased activity in the clubhouse, thats the toughest of all. Horse race night, casino night, poker night, all have been done to death.

Entertainment, far to expensive, not supported well enough and your making a loss. Cheaper beer, nope, the supermarkets have cornered that market.

I could go on but you get the drift. Today there really is no solution to the problems all clubs face. Talk to your creditors, cut the best deal you can, reduce every conceivable overhead, the ones that cost you money with no return, and hold on for the ride.

I do wish you all the best.

So your after the real nitty gritty parts of the meeting...... Sounds like you enjoy clubs who are struggling. As I said before, should have made the effort to go to the meeting yourself and you wouldn't have to try and dig for information!!!

Don't think you read that correctly at all, read again many times, digest and tell me how you came to your conclusion.

I thought it was a take on all clubs who have gone down the big pay route and their subsequent troubles. Coupled with this global mire we're all in and there are no solutions.

Pubs and clubs closing everywhere with no prospect of attracting business.

If no-one gives up information on any subject then all forums would be a waste of time. Falmouth have obviously put a gagging order out over the postings on this forum as they now do not post at all !!!! So fishing I will go.

They did after all - advertise it on here - YES/NO. I have merely asked the question, what happened at the meeting ????

Hope thats good enough for you.

You said you read SM mutterings so you got your answer, he reported what was stated at the meeting...... however, it's still not good enough for you.

Yes, the meeting was advertised on here..... For people that were interested in ATTENDING the meeting, meaning that you would have had to take the time and make the effort of travelling down to the venue where the it took place, but you didn't. I'm sure the club will have minutes of the meeting that were taken & no doubt they will be on published on the club notice board, read them on there!!

There's no gagging order. Most Town supporters are just ignoring the ill-informed drivel that your attention seeking trolling consists of, that's all. Oops...nibbled the bait there myself.

I don't think the current owners of Falmouth Town have been anything other than perfectly open & honest regarding the goings on at the club. Nobody has been gagged that I know of. We are in a period of change, it's not rocket science. Budget cuts equals exodus of players, and that happens at all levels, not just CSWPL. As I've mentioned on another thread this comes down to loyalty, decency & honesty. If players can't afford to take the cut, then fine just say & move on. There are a few who have shown their loyalty to the club, and I can't praise them enough. In times like this you get to see who the genuine people of this world really are.

I don't think the crisis that people are talking about is as bad as some seem to want to portray. There are some sensible people at the helm now, who are merely making sure that there is a future for the club. Some people seem to take a great delight in kicking the club when it's down. Well guys make the most of it, because this great old club will pull itself out of this situation, and I know everyone there is as determined as Les & myself to make it happen. We knew that it would be hard at first, so we're not surprised at all, we are where we are, but we won't stay where we are for too long. And we'll chip away at it for however long it takes!!
