Just got back from hols.

Just after I left for my holiday I saw the email from Nick Hart on HoF regards a meeting with the club to discuss the regen, as I explained to Nick in my reply I had already agreed to this meeting with Heather and John Berylson prior to leaving, it was a matter of arranging a date that was convenient, at a time when there would be new information available and then asking for people who wanted to attend on my return.

The points I differ with are that any meeting needs to be organised and attended by either Bob Asprey or myself as fan elected representatives and any meeting should be open to all Millwall fans, when I have a firm date I will advertise it on all sites also involve non internet based fans that I am I touch with via email and post, it would be nice to get people who have not yet attended previous meetings, those who have experience in any aspect of regeneration and perhaps fans who have an alternate view rather than the majority view this wouldl obviously enable open debate.

I would hope Nick would also want to attend as he has a way of putting the spoken word onto paper without losing the point which is his strong point.

We also need to keep together rather than split into smaller groups I believe that is where our strength lies.

I have spoken with both Heather and John Berylson at length this week, they have updated me fully on progress, it is pointless arranging a meeting until there is something concrete to say, the meeting will take place early to mid September when more concrete information should be available.

I realise that date is a couple of months away and probably not what people want to hear, but I feel it is best to be up front about this. If anything happens before that I will make sure I announce it as early as I can, I do have to work within certain guidelines and use discretion, I must admit personally it will be nice to have a couple of months when we can focus on the football side of things.

Bob and the MSC have already arranged a fans forum in August.
