I think it probably is to be honest. Too few people to do anything whilst further down the road a new group (the FF) starts its life with a group of 14 COMMITTED fans striving to do everything in its power to improve the club. There is room for both but will that happen?
Lesley has stood down as Chair of the OSC and will not be at the next meeting, nobody has so far stood forward to replace her. Nobody is willing to sort the memberships out and badges/cards for this year (6 weeks since the AGM) have not been ordered (takes at least 4 weeks to come).
I was willing to try again this year with the OSC but imho the FF takes enormous priority and that is where all my energies will be going.
As for the committee, Ilyas did say at the first meeting that the committee would be formed by all those who volunteered themselves there and then. 14 people did so. As Loweiy said, speed was the order of the day and will continue to be so, you can't hang around forever whilst people decide whether they can or can't put themselves forward. The first meeting was called when it seemed as though there was a possibilty that ASFC may cease to exist, if someone couldn't arrange to finish work earlier than normal (with over a weeks notice) for that meeting then how could they possibly commit themselves to the next 12 months worth of hard work? Valairian managed to finsh work early and get to two meetings at short notice and he comes from Crewe. Its not a knock of anybody but thats how it is.
There will be opportunity to get involved shortly but in order to get the ball rolling we had to start somewhere.
keep the faith.
