Way before Stanley Archer & Bellotti even before Dudley Sizen we had Ian Hart and Pete Kennard bring out Gulls Eye which asked questions of the board, Paul Samrah on counless occassions questioned the finances of the club and even John Baine put in his two pennyworth, whether I agreed or not with their views is immaterial, but where are their successors.
Ian Hart cannot obviously be seen to be doing anything because of his affiliation with the BBC.
Paul Samrahs time now is taken up with his commitment to Falmer for All and as a mouthpiece for Martin Perry. John Baine for all his assertions that he is independant and would speak if he thought something needed saying sits and lets the world drift by. The recent Fanzines could have been written by Martin Perry or Dick Knight as a self appraisal of their work.
A number of people have expressed concern that DK has gone as far as he can go with the club, of which I am one of those people, but nobody has gone to the lengths of finding out exactly why the financial position is as bad as it is except to put everything down entirely to the cost of Falmer. Could there be a case of mismanagement in certain areas? Could there be directors getting rich at our expense? Could it be that the directors haven't put in as much money as we all think? A lot of unanswered questions. Anybody who dares to even mention anything against DK is promptly told that he is God and cannot do wrong.
If only we could find the successors to the above mentioned three who would give us all a clear picture good or bad and to the exact financial state of the club and the reasons for this without us just being fobbed off.
Perhaps I am being too hopeful!!
