Mel was involved publicly from way after the OP dated 2000, is my point and didnât attend any of the formative meetings that led to the fans taking over. Is my point. Parliament documents are there for all to see. đ
Iâm not undermining anything Mel (I wish him well and a speedy recovery as he is unwell) did or said he was key to it all from one point in time. What he said, did or mentioned locally wasnât in our immediate focus, nor was it documented by us. There was a lot of talk around at the time, too much from some, what we did was getting that focus nationally before the Patti Pavilion meeting. (10 months later) Hence the first meeting reported in the OP, there were a variety of other meetings beforehand from 1999.
This is just a thread on a bit of history myself and Phil were involved in. Nothing more. Mention also goes to Richard Lillycrap and Mike (both RIP)
Well, these moments in this thread were before Mel Nurse got involved. Lewis who I understand is still around today was offered a few things but the real offer came in when Petty was paid off.
This is a part of the parliamentary review. As stated in the original post OP here Phil and I drove this forwards from 1999 (we were kicking Hamer and McClure in the nuts for two years before that. Until a time when the fans took over, Jenkins, Dineen et al. with Van Zweden and Katzen. I received a call from David Morgan asking to invest and of course we all have hindsight but my occupation would never have allowed it. Think of the positives I wouldnât be running this shit show had i said yes đđ
Cullen is an enigma. He gets plenty of stick especially around his goalscoring or involvement within a game. And then right when many have had enough he crops up with a goal. Story of his Swans career.
Have to say the likes of Mike Lewis were shit scared of what we had achieved.
Love history. This was from a parliamentary paper.
12) The launch was extremely successful with over 600 signing up on the day to join what was now a constitutionally set up body ready for an involvement in our football club, in anticipation of the day arriving when Shares became available to purchase in the event of a change of ownership. Membership fees and the auction held raised over ÂŁ3000. Backing for the Trust came from far and wide with John Toshack, John Hartson, Max Boyce, Gareth Edwards, Rhodri Morgan AM, Martin Caton MP, Kevin Johns, Eurig Wyn MEP, Steve Hamer, Mel Nurse and Mel Charles amongst many pledges of support.
13) A meeting was called in Bristol where (Midlands, Avon and Gloucester Swans) members London and Swansea based fans met to discuss financial matters with past Club Chairman Steve Hamer. The meeting was designed to give a financial picture of a football Clubâs affairs and how Supporters could become involved financially in ownership.
