5. Summary and Agreement on Outcomes
The Collective requested something tangible to take back to members in order to prevent escalation of protest and unrest.
The only firm commitments provided were:
-
- A further meeting within one month to update on supporter engagement consultation.
- Continued dialogue with the Green Brigade.
- Ongoing review of recruitment processes.
- Governance review discussions ongoing at Board level.
No firm commitments were made regarding:
-
- Executive change.
- Board refresh timelines.
- Formal adoption of a Fan Advisory Board.
- Immediate reinstatement of the Green Brigade.
- Restoration of fan media access.
- Public statement following the meeting.
During closing exchanges, JPT acknowledged the strength of supporter feeling and confirmed that he has consistently communicated this internally. He stated that he was aware of the seriousness of the situation and the potential consequences of continued inaction.
JPT further noted that he had been asked to attend the meeting in the evening of the day prior and reported that he was not fully briefed on all the matters which would be discussed. The Collective expressed concern that this reflected broader structural issues in communication with the Club and placed the Supporter Liaison Officer in a difficult position when engaging with representatives.
The Collective indicated they would report back to signatory organisations immediately.
6. AOCB
During closing remarks, as members of the Collective reiterated the seriousness of supporter anger and the opportunity for leadership to reset relations, it was observed that BW appeared disengaged at points in the discussion. This was perceived by some attendees as indicative of a lack of urgency or attentiveness at a critical juncture.
The Collective emphasised that their role is to maintain structured dialogue and are keen to prevent further escalations of protests, but that this requires reciprocal movement from the Club.
BW reaffirmed willingness to continue consultation and dialogue.
The meeting concluded without agreed substantive outcomes beyond the commitments noted above.
A whole load of nothing don’t see why folk are so upset , the boards offering nothing ,sending the SLO and the walkabout bhoy Kevin was a bit of an insult and shows the Board don’t want to change or solve this problem
The support will be used to cover up this shitshow of a season that’s where they’ll lay the blame
Good Old Brit “Divide and Rule “…..why do people always fall for it ???
Why don’t the GB get a good KC to go into their next meeting ? What the board is doing is totally illegal. A KC would run rings round them and bring this whole sorry mess to a suitable conclusion.
I can help if they want to take up my offer .
