As received by shareholders yesterday...
ROCHDALE ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL CLUB LIMITED
Directors: C Ogden (Co-Chairman), S Gauge (Co-Chairman), J Willoughby, A Saul, T Pockney, R Knight, M Knight
NOTICE OF 2024 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Notice is hereby given that the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Rochdale Association Football Club Limited will be held as follows.
Type of meeting: The meeting will be held in person.
Date and time of meeting: Tuesday 10 December 2024, 5.30pm start
Place: The Ratcliffe Bars & Function Suite, Sandy Lane, Rochdale, OL11 5DR
The usual, more accessible 7-7:30 start has been done away with. Yes, our shares bought in more difficult times to save the club are pretty much worthless now, not that it matters if the club is safe, but at least give us a bit of respect for what we did and make the meeting easier to attend for shareholders who have day jobs.
I get the impression, given the cancellation of the shareholders forum by Mr Gauge and the early start that many shareholders are now considered an irrelevance to be walked over.
Noted. [Post edited 26 Nov 2:36]

As I said in a recent post as a shareholder for over 50 years I have never felt as detached from the club as I do now.
This could not happen without the acceptance of the Ogdens even if its being driven by SG. Not even an attempt to explain why this change has been made.
It really is their club now…the rest of us, including the trust, are just customers. |  | | |

Presumably the Trust, due to the amount of shares they hold and on behalf of the supporters they represent, will question the start time. |  |

Also noted that in the article on Dale published in the 'i' paper, SG was described as "the long-standing" chairman. He's been here two minutes, in relative terms and it's clear there's a gaping chasm between him and the majority of shareholders
He should be basking in the glory of having kept the club afloat before the arrival of the Ogdens, but that's not how he'll be remembered
Tbh, i've barely glanced at the AGM email. He's now the main stumbling block between the club acheiving the vision the Ogdens have outlined, as a community-focused going concern and having full alignment with the fanbase, whether shareholders or not [Post edited 26 Nov 8:07]

It is disappointing that the meeting start time is not offset by the ability to attend via Teams. |  |

…and so it continues, and it will, as long as SG runs the day to day. | | | |

This is quite rude from the BOD, and pays little heed to those of us who helped to place them in position and invested not inconsiderable sums of money ourselves.
Who is now acting Chair of the Trust and what is the point of continuing to have Board representation if things like this are allowed to happen? I doubt this would have gone unquestioned in the past.
Comes a close second to the "no reserved stickers on seats" fiasco. | | | |

It is unfortunate that the board have changed the format of the AGM, although the change in the ownership of the club means we have a majority shareholder that makes the passing of any motions fairly straightforward. It is about perception.
I wonder if the Ogdens may not be able to commit to both an AGM and a Fans forum and feel the Fans forum lets them reach more fans? Personally if they want to keep the AGM for company proceedings then that’s fine,but either way it’s about communication. Again I wonder if the Ogdens are aware of how past AGMs have worked.
However the important thing now is the questions that need to be asked are asked. The top of that list is the role of the trust and confirming the commitment to a golden share. I don’t have any doubt that the Ogdens would go back on this but it still needs to be pursued as the trusts No1 objective.
I’m would assume the trust would be consulting members before the AGM. I think it’s important that questions are asked in the AOB section if it is not broached during the AGM. | | | |
