TRVMP Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 If they close all four sides of the ground they can cut stewarding costs even further. Maybe save a couple of quid on lightbulbs and pie stall electricity as well. Make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bewilderedbeast Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 If I remember correctly, and I'm happy to be corrected, the away dressing room is a good bit smaller than the home dressing room, so that's probably the reason it can't be used under Covid regs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall something about switching over so that our management team were nearer the stand side linesman. TBH I can't actually remember which side of the tunnel we are on now. Anyway it would seem strange if we moved to the other dressing room if it is smaller.

Could have done at one point but the team certainly comes into the tunnel from the room on the right of the tunnel as you look across from the shed. The dugouts on that side are bigger too.

Now that hospitality is back, the club rented the two portacabins for the away teams, with our players using both dressing rooms in the main stand.

TRVMP Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 I've not received an email from MCT about the Friday vote and it's not mentioned on their website either. How does one actually go about voting? Not going through weeks of Twitter posts to figure it out on the off-chance they've posted it there.

How does one actually go about voting? Not going through weeks of Twitter posts to figure it out on the off-chance they've posted it there. Dear Members, We'd like to announce that Brian Gillan and Stuart Duncan have received the required number of nominations to be MCT Director candidates. According to the MCT articles, the process from here is as follows: Article 34 is required to be followed, which states that an election process must take place by postal or electronic means. Notice is given to members and they have 14 days to consider bios from each candidate. Each member will cast one vote, for either Brian or Stuart. Members may not vote for either if they so wish. The votes are then fairly and accurately counted by someone independent. What this means in practice is that 14 days from today, exclusive of today and the poll date (on Friday 17th December at 9am), we will send members a link to an online poll and ask them to cast their votes and provide an email address, for member verification. This poll will remain open until 11pm on the same day (Friday 17th December). An EGM is not required as per the MCT articles, as was previously incorrectly stated. Members can access Brian and Stuart's bios via the links below and you'll be able to cast your vote via the link we send you on Friday the 17th of December. 3 hours ago, capitanus said: You do realise he'll get it though? Although, this is a poll to be a mannie oan a committee, and NOT to be one of the committee men. There's only one spot up for grabs, so I'd say that someone who views last Saturday's arrangement as a great improvement should absolutely not get it.

Contrary to appearances right now I'm busy with work (it's currently marking time so jumping over to here is a regular break from that) and I'll have a higher workload in the New Year as well. I couldn't put in the time and more importantly the energy that the task requires at the moment. I was thinking about just launching a bid anyway once the MCT mishandling of well, everything last month happened, but at that point applications had already closed. I believe Alibi mentioned that he was in a similar position; so long as we kept an eye out for any more Lucozade-guzzling Walter Mittys out there, I'd have backed that bid over the options on the table now. I'm not criticising candidates who have put their head above the parapet so far, but if members' votes are to count for anything then we need scrutiny before making a choice.
