I know it's semantics but it's not groups it's just one group.
The Leamington, Bedworth, southam groups etc seem to be sticking to their apolitical ethos and are open to all.
Complete mess. A club with about 4,000 fans going to a “home” game tomorrow night and those that run supporter groups can’t even agree on who can join, if any.
This would have had a line drawn under it if it was at primary school

Great point. On a completely separate note, many of your group going tomorrow night ?, cant understand this whole, it’s a Tuesday and will be hard to get to. Proves the point if your members are going to it
Tbh I couldn't give a fuck who they let in either. It's just pathetic and divisive in my opinion. It's like being back at school.Only from a few on Twitter and Facebook. Most won't give a fuck. I don't care if Moz gets into the Club or not. I can sympathise with the new Supporters Club as Moz has been in charge of the biggest, most divisive Trust and at the end of the day, they let in who they want to.
Some fans frothing at the mouth as if Moz is something special. He's not, he's no more special than any other Coventry City fan. Doesn't every club "reserve the right to refuse membership". Nothing to see here. Roll on the Wimbledon game.

He chose? I thought board members were elected. All beside the point now as he is not on the board.(Even if he was, I don’t see that as a reason to ban him).Because he chose to align the organisation with individuals who were the opposite. If I headed it up I wouldn’t have let Kalns through the door
And I'd agree with that. But that's why you or I didnt set it up or claim it to be non political.Because he chose to align the organisation with individuals who were the opposite. If I headed it up I wouldn’t have let Kalns through the door

It's a shame all these groups can't put aside oneupmanship and pull in one direction, for the benefit of the club. Bit like poo pooing the views of SBTalk members on that poll. Or dissing the Facebook forum, OK its pretty anarchic on there but they are supposedly fans.After doing some thinking I've come to the conclusion that I am infact wrong to side with this, less division more unity.. We are all sky blue.....
It would be helpful for a list of who's who on that thing, or a list of who to follow that actually runs fan groups or is on the Trust board etc. I didn't know kissmefrankie and RFC are the same people, and equally surprised kissmefrankiebaby thought I was a product of your imagination...thought I'd made a least a dent on RFC's memory!Yep that’s the one
Think it would have been better handled in private. Irrespective of what anyone thinks of the original decision there was no need for Moz to go public with it. He's not naive and would be aware what would follow.Yes. Why not?
Keeping it in perspective now.
Fred west can join the supporters club it seems but not Moz
The Leamington supporter club seems the best. Sponsor some boots and kit, arrange a minibus, have a player or two over for a chat, avoid all the nonsense.
They've just confirmed they will not accept membership from any current or previous trust members.
This should be fun!
They're a bit late with finding it! If they had more of a brain, they'd check out the general detail without logging in, so then you'd never know they'd checked itThis is simply a spat between Frank and Moz which Moz has decided to make an issue of and now has Simon Gilbert on the case
As I’ve pointed out to Simon his only piece of investigative journalism was when he looked at my LinkedIn account. However, even that was hardly investigative as Dave Johnson has viewed it the day before along with someone who at least had the brain to block it. Oddly then I had some abuse from Tim Kalns parody account a few minutes after that - Simon really is a genius
RFC would probably be all for the owners joiningI understand they may not want the owners joining
Pathetic that, really. How far back are they going anyway? Didn't the likes of Kev Monks used to be on the Trust board?

we made our decision to maintain our status as non political and when we see certain ex trust members planning anti owner and club protests at the ricoh arena wasps first game , we made the right decision to distant ourselves from these people at a very precarious time with negotiations ongoing for our return .

SkyBlueZack, I haven't responded to a post for a long time on here because I believe the guy that runs it is not somebody I agree with, however I would defend his right to have his opinion and who knows maybe the problem is me? Moz and the others should not be excluded based on the reasons above.we made our decision to maintain our status as non political and when we see certain ex trust members planning anti owner and club protests at the ricoh arena wasps first game , we made the right decision to distant ourselves from these people at a very precarious time with negotiations ongoing for our return .

Small point, but Zack was quoting, even if he decided to do away with the tradition of including quote marksYou have made it political, people can act in different capacities and roles in life and both entities have different aims which are not directly opposed to each other, can a person not be a trust member and try and achieve what they set as their objectives and not be a member of a supporters club and achieve their aims and ambitions too?
It seems really odd to me but it’s your membership with its vision, aims and objectives and board and therefore, can do what it likes in line with that and being consistent in the treatment of all in line with the guiding principles/rules.
I hope it goes well and to plan for the membership and all its members as I think all supporter groups do set out with the right intentions and the club and fans at the centre of its heart.

That small pedantry aside, I do wonder where it stops as well. Are all the 21 banned for protesting against Wasps? That was a political act after all...
