Attention Non Members

Would non members be interested in joining with me, in asking the moderators to give us a closed forum where we can discuss matters in relation to the running of

the club and its current financial position.

There are over 1000 regular supporters at Dalymount who are not members. There is also a significent number of bohs fans who do not regularly attend games but

who are keenly interested in whats going on at the club. We also have a number of exiles who can only watch this board on match nights for updates.

That's a ridiculous idea. Why would you have a closed non-members area? What would be the point? The point of the members area being closed is that there is sensitive information that is only privy to members. Anything else to do with the club goes on the general Bohs chat forum I.E. this forum.

So as a member I have to stop associating with other fans? Sorry if I'm over stepping my rights posting here.

I tell you what lets have a seperate entrance for members and ordinary fans in Dalymount while we're at it! Oh wait...... Razz

Thats your opinion.

There are Bohs supporters who are non members who wish to discuss matters in relation to the club in private.

What would you need to discuss "in private" though that you can't do here openly on the regular forum ?

I'm not having a pop BTW, just confused as to what would be so top secret from a non-member point of view ?

Send a PM.

Seriously, anything that is in the public domain can be discussed here. If it's not in the public domain you shouldn't as a non-member have that information. Why not just become a member?

So you'd have to prove you're not a member?

Its interesting that your so touchy about been excluded because your a member. That wasnt the intention of my post Obviously members could also participate if they wanted.

But now you know how it hurts when you migtht feel excluded from matters in relation to the club.

My suggestion is that non members need a forum to disscuss the clubs difficulties which is closed to people who dont have the clubs best interest at heart.

Hang on a minute now. If you feel excluded it's really easy to become a member.

Secondly do you think members don't have the interest of the club at heart?

Thirdly what topic do you think members shouldn't be allowed discuss and hear that they are being discussed?

Most members are just ordinary fans, they're not sitting in the Jodi with their sheepskin coats and cigars on a Friday night!!

I'd say most are in F and G slumming it with the rest of us demented souls!

I'll ask again how would you propose excluding members?

How much is the annual non-membership fee and do I get a vote at the non-members AGM........

If I pay both subscriptions.....does that make me a member and a non-member....

You're totally missing the point - there is a members section to discuss as to what has already been described, sensitive and confidential material relevant to the club's decision makers only. That's not an elitist view, it is the constitution of the club.

We unfortunately already have some idiot members who for their own perverted reasons run with that sensitive information at the earliest opportunity to anyone at SRFC or in the media that will listen to them (and there's plenty Evil or Very Mad

).

You shouldn't really know anything (information wise) ahead of a member and if you do well then it is already in the public domain and can be discussed accordingly or removed if the moderators see it as a breach of confidentiality.

Ed.

I have never suggestedtthat members be excluded from the forum. But its purpose would be for non members to discuss the clubs difficulties.

The members already have such a resource.

I have things id like to contribute and discuss with my fellow Bohs Fans but Id prefare not to say some of these things in a public domain.

There's the nub.

But I would like an -'overheard in the members bar' sub forum open to invite by moderators only- the more elite things I can get in on the more my self esteem grows Embarassed

FWIW I always assumed GR is/was a member - the quality of his guff contributed is regularly EGM-tastic.

I can see where gypsyreturn is coming from. But how would you keep it private if your a non member. That means anybody could join it and then that would defeat the purpose.

you can discuss whatever you want in the normal forum, as a non member you should not have have private club info, ie numbers and figures from an AGM etc..., you can give your opinion on what you think the club can do next in the normal forum. Dont see the point in a private non members forum.

I don't mean to rubbish the idea I but isn't that what we already have?

A forum open to non-members and members?

I don't see how another forum would be different, I mean who would be excluded?

I've no problem with the suggestion but I genuinely just don't see the need but it's only my opinion, I've obviously no problem if others think it's worth doing.

Just on that if anyone thinks the Members Forum is some kind of nirvana or the VIP section of a Vegas nightspot well think again - it is even more depressing than a 4-0 reversal in Oswestry.

You're better off here

I think I get where he is coming from is it a place that only Members of this forum who are not members of the club can talk about fund raisers,the clubs finances without other people (lurkers) seeing it. The only problem is if non members know about finances then everyone knows and it's no secret. I think non members should get a forum just for fun.

As regards knowing who's a member and who's not you can just see if they're in the members forum.

Yes but how what is the point in making a forum private when you need no ID of any kind to join and get access. Pointless. This forum has members from other clubs already. This forum is ok, nobody is watching us that closely anyway Shocked

Our ideas/opinions on the club are not top secret Wink
