Why can a member not speak up if they don't like the way the trust is dealing with something. Isn't that the whole point of a representative group?
The "you can't criticise if you can't do better yourself" is batshit. If that's the case, none of us can debate players performances because we haven't played premier league football ourselves.
Yes they are volunteers. "Voluntary" means to want to do something, they are not forced.
Oxvox members ARE invited to voice opinions ...thats why Oxvox vote on committee members to raise members questions with the people best positioned to ask them
Oxvox committee members presumably dont gain mindreading powers nor do they gain super powers to force key individuals to meet with them on demand, at the drop of a hat, when elected.
Oxvox committee members tend to have work and home lives, as well as being OUFC supporters and, (out of choice), elected to act on behalf of Oxvox members.
juggling that precious spare time to fit round those they arrange to meet with or communicate with isnt always something that can be arranged instantly Id assume. As for reporting back to Oxvox members , and the fan base in general too (by default), again its something that takes time especially for the report to be approved as correct, most Oxvox members Id guess would prefer an accurate report as opposed to one that is incorrect. Patience its said is a virtue
Forums are a place to debate
Oxvox committee aren't perfect, but those elected to the committee, endeavour to carry out what they're supposed to do, to the best of their ability, .... perhaps some of the current crop of first-team squad players should adopt???.... an absolute certainty is being an Oxvox committee member IS a thankless' job'
Oxvox is a supporters trust made up from its members, your above post intimates you are an Oxvox member
@Jerome'SAle (?) , if you are, perhaps ask yourself the questions you were asking earlier, if you don't have an answer for them, then maybe ask one of the committee members that you elected?..... bear in mind, they may not reply instantly as they may be earning a living at that particular moment, or spending time with their family, you will, however, I'm sure, get a reply sooner or later.( albeit may not be the answer you'd like.... which is sometimes the case)
there's also an Oxvox section on this very forum too ...a good section to raise Oxvox members and committee matters I believe?
It used to amuse me no end when working at an Oxford factory to hear work colleagues referring to 'The Union' when they were working in a closed shop (ALL shopfloor employees were Union members), as if their elected workplace representatives were some remote and shadowy organisation, instead of realising the obvious which was they, the individual workers, were ALL a part of what actually constituted' the union' they were referring to.
Likewise, Oxvox is a supporters trust, consisting of its members, who elect Oxvox committee members to act on behalf of the membership ( and OUFC supporters in general), if you are a member of Oxvox , you are an integral part of Oxvox, if you're not, as is yours and everyone's prerogative, finger pointing and erroneously apportioning blame to Oxford United supporters, which is what Oxvox supporters trust are made up of -,who as a supporters trust are recognised by both OUFC and other key organisations,to, at the least communicate with, on behalf of Oxford United supporters, -for all you appear to believe is wrong currently at Oxford United isn't right, in my opinion.
When Oxvox committee have something to report to the membership, there is invariably a report issued.... if there's no daily bulletin forthcoming, I think its fair to assume there's nothing currently to report back on, certainly not without being in possession all the currently available information, of anything that's worth reporting back on
