Mersey pirates

excellent kev i think some of the pirates are going to keep going as they are allbeit as a smaller club. Thats the 2nd time there has been a major split at the pirates , with the first split forming the Buccs I think a lot of clubs have splits and disband due to bad management , backstabbing, petty jealousies, personality clashes and non -participation. Can name quite a few over the years, wirral rodbenders and the 624sac spring to mind. The problem with clubs are that each member wants something different from the club, BUT i think every member wants a fair set of rules that are democratic and with a transparent policy when it comes to finances and club constitution. I think that our club has that .

Spoke with Eddie (polsaf sec.) last night. Pheonix have already Formed and want to join Polsaf, but have to go through the 5 step affiliation process Eddie will now check about dock pass's and see if they can just switch from the Pirates to Pheonix without re-paying.

seem to remember our own club having similar problems a couple of years ago . but thankfully we stayed together and became a better club, hopefully some of their club members join our club

Sorry to hear that but from the ashes rises the Pheonix Club...all new members get garlic bread...see the new chairman...

Heard through the grapevine that the mersey pirates went into total meltdown last night with the commitee handing members a share of the club money and then walking out. Think a few members stayed but a lot are forming a new club called the Pheonix sac. Heard it was down to clashes of personality non participation etc etc all the usual crap that happens within a club. Had a few mates within that club and some of the stuff they told that was going on was a recipe for disaster.
