there are a number of 'minority' share holders, who for the first time since Ive been a shareholder, have not had thier chance to have a say at an AGM, granted the club dont legally have to hold an AGM, what I find strange, given some of the chairmen OUFC have had ( inc Fat Bob, Ka$$am & Ian Lenegan amongst them, some of who held the AGM at awkward times!), is that 2016 IS the first year with no AGM DE portrays himself as accessible, yet with no AGM he and the board have been the exact opposite towards minority shareholders Is it a coincidence that droves of OUFC employees have 'left' since the 2015 AGM, all manner of issues have arisen including where OUFC supporters have been subjected to 'bad behavior' from (agency) stewards at home games on the say so and instruction of someone 'upstairs' (apparently not Ian Mixter), and that a then new appointee voted AGAINST the wishes of the board re including prem b teams in the checkatrade/boycott trophy competition, someone it appears is operating a hidden agenda, coincidentally all this has taken place under the MD's watch, do 2 and 2 add up to make 4 here I wonder? Have you contacted GBT or DE or the club and asked about the AGM? Contacted the club months ago re agm...had a call back saying there would be info re the AGM out 'soon' , Im still waiting for that information, and soon doesnt mean the following year does it?!

I did assume that with DE and his other board members owning so many of the clubs shares, that an AGM is a slightly moot point for them. It also means that awkward conversations can be avoided as well. there are a number of 'minority' share holders, who for the first time since Ive been a shareholder, have not had thier chance to have a say at an AGM, granted the club dont legally have to hold an AGM, what I find strange, given some of the chairmen OUFC have had ( inc Fat Bob, Ka$$am & Ian Lenegan amongst them, some of who held the AGM at awkward times!), is that 2016 IS the first year with no AGM DE portrays himself as accessible, yet with no AGM he and the board have been the exact opposite towards minority shareholders Is it a coincidence that droves of OUFC employees have 'left' since the 2015 AGM, all manner of issues have arisen including where OUFC supporters have been subjected to 'bad behavior' from (agency) stewards at home games on the say so and instruction of someone 'upstairs' (apparently not Ian Mixter), and that a then new appointee voted AGAINST the wishes of the board re including prem b teams in the checkatrade/boycott trophy competition, someone it appears is operating a hidden agenda, coincidentally all this has taken place under the MD's watch, do 2 and 2 add up to make 4 here I wonder? To be contrary, what say should minority shareholders have? They aren't funding losses for the club or investing into it are they? If I felt strongly as a shareholder, I wouldn't wait for an AGM to address concerns. But that is just me. Perhaps one suggestion would be for the club to hold a conference call annually? Has anyone asked for that? I don't understand the hidden agendas personally. Not meant as a criticism of anyone, but being as cynical as I am, I don't see some Machiavellian scheme being undertaken. Incompetence, indifferent communication, inconsistent management and others. Very much so.

Contacted the club months ago re agm...had a call back saying there would be info re the AGM out 'soon' , Im still waiting for that information, and soon doesnt mean the following year does it?! Then ask again if you are that worried. At the moment you are coming across as slightly paranoid with your unfounded insinuations and inferences about the intentions of people within the club, many of whom are life-long OUFC fans.

Now I think we are pretty much aligned with our thoughts on the issues. Where we differ is the reasons behind it. You seem to think it's a conspiracy from some shady people in power who are determined to p*ss off all the OUFC fans and the club are complicit in this. Why they'd want to do this is unclear and other than some evil plans that you seem to think is intention of people at the club.... Here's what I wrote back on 14th December about flaggate: Here's a theory.
The Ultras have been putting up flags, doing the displays etc for a number of years without much interference from the stewards. This might be in contravention of some of the safety certificate 'regulations' (when the flags can be waved/poles being weapons, that kind of thing) but those have not been enforced as it's not seen as a big problem and we're otherwise pretty well behaved as fans.
Then, over the last couple of years we've got ourselves to the top of the "letting off smoke bombs at games" League, despite plenty of appeals form the club that we could be fined and potentially docked points. That seemed to die down a bit at the start of this season, but then Millwall and Port Vale games both had smoke bombs.
Club find that they are under much closer scrutiny from the authorities and with the new steward feeling he has to enforce things to the letter, the Ultras are asked not to wave the flags at certain times during the game, fire safety certificates are being asked for, and we find ourselves in the situation we are now in.
As I say it's just a theory, but it could explain a change in stance from Stadco/Club/Stewards etc.
Let's hope the Ultras/OxVox and the club can come to an agreement. It might need some compromise though.Interesting theory (I thought I commented that when you posted it?... if I didnt, well, its the thought that counts ) We're never too far apart in our thoughts in various issues re OUFC Sihath, airing different views on a forum are a good thing I think, though as the old adage goes vive le difference (or something) There has been no change to the ground regs, however, a change in how ground regs are interpreted, implemented and for that matter enforced HAS changed in recent home games. Which coincided with NH departure and IM appointment, though 'oreders from upstairs' regarding re interpretation of ground regs ( specifically ground regs 7 and 8) were what various agency stewards quoted while attempting to enforce he aforementioned ground regs. Apparantly the agency 'stewards' heavy handed intimidatory tactics were not down to Ian Mixter being installed, so, as it was stated it was orders from upstairs it seems to me that either DE or the MD GBT were the ones issuing orders from upstairs to agency stewards. Smoke bombs are illegal in football grounds in England and Wales, as clearly stated in ground regs, I think perhaps a couple of recentish smoke bomb incidents involving OUFC supporters inside grounds , with the likelyhood of fa sanctions a possibility, may well be the reason behind whoever it was 'upstairs' issuing orders to agency stewards to in effect use huge slegehammers to crack walnuts, with official blessing to treat paying supporters with contempt may have been the result of an attempt to 'teach those ultras who is in charge? Someone knows the truth of it, but were no closer to finding the real answers as yet, so calculated speculation is all thats open to us is the way I see it. Nowt wrong with healthy debate:) As well as NO AGM, there hasnt been a single fans forum this season ( oxvox open meeting at the masons arms quarry with DE &GBT was pre season), in contrast to a number of fans forums last season. Lots of good OUFC employees at many different levels have left in the last 12 months, communication between club and fans has gone from a healthy relationship to one of suspicion ( from some supporters) and contempt( from the club, given how agency stewards were instructed/ allowed to treat PAYING OUFC fans in different areas of the breeze block at recent games) , All the lack of communication, bullying from stewards, droves of employees departing and more has happened under GBTs tenure as MD. It may ALL be coincidental, lack of fans forums, AGM etc means OUFC fans are getting the mushroom treatment from OUFC as in being kept in the dark and fed shit! maybe Oxvox can get DE & GBT to agree to holding regular fans forums again and then perhaps communication will improve and answers to questions can be attained?

Minority shareholders are those (of us) who are shareholders who can question or sanction some board decisions, also minority shareholders can table an item for the AGM agenda, additionally minority shareholders hold collectively a minority of shares, none the less they (we) are shareholders and the AGM is the only official time that minority shareholders as shareholders have access to the chairman, MD and board members. theyre not legally required to hold an AGM, however 2016 is the first year I know of that there hasnt been an AGM held. Which to me is a matter for concern I don't understand the hidden agendas personally. Not meant as a criticism of anyone, but being as cynical as I am, I don't see some Machiavellian scheme being undertaken. Incompetence, indifferent communication, inconsistent management and others. Very much so.think thats a fair observation

I'll have to try harder then theres many of us not inside the current OUFC admin set up who are life long OUFC fans too ! Some open communication between club and fans goes a very long way I think, and Im sure youd agree with that?

Having had no issue with any of the stewards at OUFC, when did their 'bullying' behaviour start? Just trying to establish how long there's been an issue, and if it's only very recent, then perhaps we won't know if it's been resolved until the next home game. If it's been going on for some time, then it predates IM taking over, so unfair to blame him. The club have been asking fans not to let off smoke bombs for a couple of years without success and still some fans think they can do what they want. Perhaps those fans are deliberately trying to get the club into trouble and be fined (see I can come up with speculation as well) and with the authorities looking closely at us the club HAD to do something or risk having capacity reduced and incur fines. So they started implementing regulations to the letter. Fans have to take some responsibility for their actions, and if they've ignored warnings galore then what can they expect. 'Orders from upstairs' could mean anything, could be their line manager, the head steward, the agency boss. OxVox's meeting addressed this issue and I believe it was a lot better at the Wallsall game? You say that GBT/DE have decided to treat fans with contempt I certainly don't feel like I'm being treated with contempt by the club. You might, but I think a lot of fans would disagree. There have been a couple of facebook live fans forums. If you have concerns/questions/evidence of wrongdoing, I'd suggest contacting the club directly with it.

Ive sent emails to the club, no response.... odd as in 2015 I was emailing them and recieving them back Im not in a position to call meetings such as open fans forums, where real people turn up and some ask questions in person Im certainly not in a position to call an AGM with my 10 shares a fans forum such as this is fine a pr excersise involving an online fans forum with the chairman allows a 3rd party to filter, field and fail to put some questions, ditto any fans forum 'phone/tweet/ text ' in, again questions are filtered Bit old fashioned me, I like to watch my team, OUFC, play live, with me there supporting them in person.... ditto that when the powers that be make themselves available for answering questions from fans. Person to person always the best option

I've got a tinfoil hat you can have if you want it... not a tinfoil fa cup I can have for the 4th round tie ....assuming the stewards are allowed to allow em in that day of course! They've let Timmy Mallet in with his last year, so you should be OK.

Do u use online ticketing ? If so that's the same system they send club emails via, so check your email address in your profile. Nope, I always buy my tickets for cash ...in person at the ticket office Old fashioned me

Have you contacted GBT or DE or the club and asked about the AGM? Contacted the club months ago re agm...had a call back saying there would be info re the AGM out 'soon' , Im still waiting for that information, and soon doesnt mean the following year does it?! It does if you contacted the club on Dec 31st 2016
