Admittedly I dont know much of the goings on with it. Thanks sharkster for the answer stating their on hold until after the asada thing. So there is no front of jersey sponsor or stadium sponsor, is this right?? I apologise in advance for those who rate the dumbness of the question.

I hope we don't just let him hang out to try - he deserves far better than that,

Bit late for that, he's been well and truly hung out by the club, let alone the wider supporter base.
It would appear the leak has returned. Great to see some directors understand boardroom confidentiality...not.
I'm yet to make a judgement on the Sharks Unity ticket. They claim they will bring a new level of professionalism to the Sharks, however they aren't providing much evidence of that so far.
In the first week they put Damian Keogh up as their nomination for Chairman, however several media reports now indicate he doesn't qualify. I'd suggest he would be a good candidate, but the attention to detail on not knowing how to qualify does not impress.
A flyer for Sharks Unity was left on my car windscreen at the game today.
On it Keogh is nominated for President. My understanding is the position is Chairman. A minor point, but again sloppy attention to detail.
And finally the flyer lists a website. sharksunity.com it appears to me that it does not exist, it's an unregistered domain. .com.au doesn't take you anywhere either.
So much for a new era of professionalism.
There are several good quality candidates on the ticket, however I think members would be wise to make a judgement on indivuduals and not whole tickets.
Despite his issues, Damian Irvine deserves a spot on the board and Craig Douglas is a must given his role in the development and turning around the club's finance. Both will have my support while some on the unity ticket will worth considering also.

I wasn't impressed with his interview in the tele - He dodged the hard questions & gave politicians answers for the rest.
I'm going to reserve my decision making until I see the 300 word statement for each candidate and do some background research on each.
When forming a decision of this nature, I tend to go by the "triage" process of decision making.
Eliminate the "NO" candidates first.
What is left is the "MAYBE" group.
Then from that group, establish "YES" candidates.

I'm with Fitz on this, looking forward to seeing the statements of each candidate as heard some more things at yesterdays game of some of one of the candidates that I was previously unaware (apparently he doesn't have to use plastic knives..). It is always good to do your own homework (just ask the aussie cricket team..)
On the so-called Unity ticket, seems like a couple of decent people on there but the overall reason for them starting a "rebel" ticket hasn't really been made clear - except they will change a decision that they have admitted they don't have the facts on.
Plus I agree with Shire1976 on that flyer yesterday, it was terrible I thought - the whole president thing was weird and it also said that voting was open to all leagues and football club members - which it isn't as you need voting rights with football membership.

Incorrect.
All financial Sharkies Leagues Club members who are registered prior to the Board Meeting prior to the AGM should have the right to vote at the Leagues Club AGM.
The Football Club requires that you are either a honorary life member, a sponsor or that you have purchased voting rights and have had those voting rights for a minimum of three years.
Given that the one Board oversees both the Football Club and the Leagues Club, your Leagues Club Membership should suffice.

It would be good if someone could scan the flyer and put it up here if possible.
I think Leagues Club members can vote on majority of issues?

Ok, so are those who received a leagues club membership with this years season ticket considered 'financial members' and therefore eligible to vote?

Good process.
For me the key issue is relocation -whoever I think is more capable and determined to keep the Sharks in the shire gets my vote. I'm worried about pressure from the NRL to move due to the bailouts they are providing.

What's rule 42?
Gotta admit that this other ticket is coming across as a bit of a shambles. I was speaking to someone the other day who insisted that Keogh was running for the chair. Are we certain that he's not eligible? It sounds like he might not even know that he's not eligible.
