Capital Football Board Adjourns to Consider its Position

Well now, things are really bubbling for the Capital Football Board. I'll bet some don't like the smell of scrutiny in the morning!!! So sorry lads and lady, but we are all here to serve and no one is above a question.

So what happened at the meeting last night? I'll bet it was a cracker! The are plenty of smart people in football land.

The meeting was called by the Zone Member (and Belconnen United President) Mark O'Niell, for the purpose of enabling the Zone Members and Club Presidents to put questions to, receive explanations from  and have decisions reviewed or changed by the Capital Football Board.


This morning the NPL spoke to the President of the Capital Football Board, John Logue. John made it clear that he could not comment on the meeting (although it is a matter of public knowledge), as the Board would meet again this evening on the matters discussed at the meeting.

John was able to say this:

1. The meeting had been adjourned to enable the Board to meet in order to consider its position on the matters raised at the meeting.
2. The Board would meet tonight for that purpose.
3. He (President of CF Board) would advise the Member who had requested the meeting (Mark O'Neill, Pres Belconnen United and Zone Rep) of the Board position. He expected Mark O'Niell to in turn brief the Zone Members / Club Presidents on the Board's position.
4. The meeting of the Zone reps, Club Presidents and CF Board would reconvene next Tuesday.
5. He was unable to comment or speculate on the likely outcomes of the meeting next Tuesday, particularly if the respective positions remain unchanged.

So there it is. As they say "the game is delicately poised"!

I wonder if some of the Board comprehend the potential significance of this encounter? If the Board is unable to see it way clear to accomodate the Club Presidents / Zone Reps on the matters they have raised with them, what then? I such circumstances, is that as good as a vote of no confidence in some or all of the Board? If you take this view would it be reasonable to expect some or all to resign? A good old fashioned "spill'! Perhaps that would be the proper thing to do.

Time is running out for the CF Board. The Federation Cup kicks off on the weekend.
