I have yet to pick up The Packet, but will this evening. Meanwhile I would like to make it clear that the policy at Falmouth Town has been, and still is, that the Club will pay for a player who has received a major injury when playing for the Club to receive private phsiotherapy. At no time has any of the Directors been approached by Matt. If he spoke to anyone at the Club and was declined that help that person has no authority within the Club to make any decision.

Well said Whitehot. Where were you at the AGM on Wed (when the 1st team had a match in Plymouth)? Were you one of the travelling band of supporters disenfranchised by the decision to hold the AGM on the same night as an away fixture or were you one of the many who didn't know the AGM was on through lack of advertising?

I would like to respond to Charles Fittus’ comment, “As a FOOTBALL COMMITTEE we feel badly let down by being given a budget to work with at the beginning of the season that has transpired to be grossly in excess of what could be afforded. When this was made apparent by our new treasurer, there was no alternative but to take drastic action for the good of the club.” The budget that the 1st Team Manager was given was both proposed by and approved by the Executive Committee in May 2008. This was based on a projected income of sponsorship from Richardsons Hotels of Distinction, the advertising boards, gate money and other sundry income generated by the football section. The Executive Committee was aware at that time of the need to ensure that the social section generated more income. Unfortunately this did not happen with the result that the football section is now heavily subsidising the social section. Some months ago, in order to rectify this imbalance, I requested that a small finance committee be formed to plan fundraising activities to overcome this problem. This request was denied by the Executive Committee. As the previous Treasurer, I take great exception to Mr Fittus’ remark, “When this was made apparent by our new treasurer…..” because this implies that the parlous state of the club finances was unknown until made apparent by the new Treasurer. This, as I have outlined above, is total nonsense. Although the duties of a club treasurer are only to record income and expenditure, the Executive Committee, being the responsible body for managing the finances, I tried my very best, over the past few years, to make ALL committees appreciate the gradually deteriorating state of the club’s finances. 4 years of banging my head against a brick wall was too much and I resigned! :smiley20:
