If you think that’s small then your missing a huge dose of perspective.
I hope we only paid for the management and playing staff’s lunch eh? I’m sure everyone else paid for their own.Re: Admin error meant OB missed today's game

Have a rethink about board membership albeit not being local.

I'm sure we're all delighted for you. Just two questions and no right or wrong answer just a simple yes or no. Although please feel free to qualify.
The catering contract for a professional football team like Newport County will run into many £1,000's.
Do you think such a contract should be put out to tender?
Do you think the trustees of a fans owned club should know the name of the supplier of catering services?

Sorry again but we ordered your invites and membership cards from the same supplier as the club on a high recommendation
We are hoping to get them out sometime in the Spring.
Apologies for that failing.
Its a very tight knit community, membership only allowed if you hate anybodies views apart from your good selves.
It also helps if you add a few insults with a hint of sarcasm added.
The Chairman was a stone waller.
No elections allowed as that would not be the thing to do would it.
Members are listed on the forum.
Excessbee is a possible addition.
You have an anthem as well
The Temps Cloud 9 "I'm doing fine"
All good fun.
ps Brendan had no input its just a solo thing on my part.
If you want to resign from membership its very simple .
You just accept opinions and views from other contributors.
Seriously tv is bloody awful tonight.
Re: Admin error meant OB missed today's game
89Here's the thing.
A club the size of Newport County will have to outsource certain things. Catering, the coach for away trips, the ticketing?
Okay so far. Now the question is should that outsourcing be done via open tender or should it be done by appointment?
Well it's your money. The directors of Newport County hold and spend that money on trust. For you.
Now my stepdaughter is a very talented chef. She is also qualifying to become a solicitor. To finance her studies she runs a small catering company. Now if I were chairman of Newport County and there was even a suspicion that I handed a catering contract to my stepdaughter I would be mortified. I simply wouldn't do it and I would ensure that a tendering process was in operation that would mean that it couldn't happen.
Now we know from a poster that there is speculation that Gavin Foxhall has given a contract to his friends. This is a slur on the integrity of Mr Foxhall. Whilst I don't have a high regard for his abilities as a chairman I refute any suggestion that there is any evidence that this speculation is true or that Gavin has behaved in any way other than with the highest propriety.
However Caesar's wife needs not only to be above suspicion but be seen to be above suspicion. As a shareholder of the club and trust I have invited Mr Foxhall and indeed the entire board of Newport County to put this story to bed.
I believe that they will.

Re: Admin error meant OB missed today's game
90I don’t suppose we can stop all the bickering on this (& most other) post(s) tend to resort to. As I see it, whoever at the club was responsible for filing OB’s suspension paperwork made a huge error. Imagine if that was last season after Fraser had to retire, we’d have been right up s*** street. That being said, OB got sent off in an extremely high profile game, so surely it’s down to the FA or EFL to tell us when he is suspended. The food issue is down to an outside agency, the club pay someone to supply xyz, they don’t supply. Not the club’s fault. The kit issue is strange. We only need a 3rd kit a maximum of 3 times this season. We knew that Cambridge away was our 1st away match & needed that kit. We obviously had a kit ready, just not the official one (Everton had the same problem at Crystal Palace yesterday). Apparently most clubs don’t launch their 3rd kits till September. On the Ryan Haynes captain issue, it seems strange. As far as I can see, as long as the team sheet is handed in, in time who cares who’s captain. Wrexham were 30 minutes late at Dover yesterday, but I haven’t heard about them being fined,
