Susse unveil £8 million ground plans

[the viscount]

Clearly a project of this magnitude should not just be presented as a done deal. We've had the presentation with the board's initial proposals and the forum. Now I fully expect the board to convene an EGM at which shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on the project as it stands, a scaled down project with a limit of say £6m. budget or any other feasible alternative that might be put on the table. I trust this is exactly the democratic process which the board has in mind. After all, this will determine the entire future of the club. It is a decision which we must all be part of and on which we should all accept the outcome of the vote at the EGM.

Next week I think we should approach the club look at the rules get the 100 or so signatures and call for an EGM.

Wasting £8M without consulting the members is like a dictatorship and not how a members club is run. I have no idea where or when yesterday's meeting was so lets call an EGM AND FORCE THE ISSUE.

Sussex should build a new stadium! (Controversial)

i think you will find its now a company limited by guarantee rather than a members club. Which is why we now have a boardroom rather than committee room

yes i do know that but each member is also a shareholder under the consititution of the club we all hold one share each when you become a member eg your membership per season.

Sounds promising. God knows how the Gilligan Stand has survived all these years, so I'll be very happy to see it knocked down and something more modern in its place.

at least you can sit in 'family area' in a deckchair and not have to be accompanied by a child!
