So, lets start with the game:
Firstly, this was a massively improved performance, when held up against the past few weeks worth. Most notably, the Phoenix were missing Big Ed (back home having a job interview), and Wallace, who is injured. This forced Tony to chnage thigs around mor ethan he might have liked to have done. And it worked. The first line looked pretty formidable, comprising Tony, Adam, and Jaakko, and if they have a few games they could become a pretty effective unit by the seasons end (just in time for the playoffs).
Being honest, Peterborough were still in the game (indeed they lead early on in the game), right up until we went 2 goals clear. This seemed to take the wind out of their sails, and allowed us to take control, and hold it until the final buzzer. Walker was good value for his goals, and seemed happier than he has done for a while. Which is nice.
Now, onto the supporters club...
After listening to the official Podcast, it seems that Neil Morris has taken a fair amount of the criticism onbaord to an extent, and made some changes:
All Members now own a 'nominal share' (although there was no mention of the value of this share).
The board will ultimately be comprised of 9 members (excluding Neil) who all posses 'Voting Shares'.
Members are now invited to applyto fill out the remaining 4 spaces on the board.
So, there does seem to be a reasonable amount of movement on Neils part. Of course, there are still issues. such as the implication from Neil that not being able to put in the '15-20 hours' would make someone 'ineligible' for the board (or at least, thats what I took his comment to mean). If, and thats IF, this is the case, I feel that Neil has fucked up once more. Someone who might only be able to give 5 or so hours up might be invaluable to the board for what they may bring to the table. Of course, Neil says that whoever gets one of the 4 remaining spaces has nothing to do with him, but we shall have to wait and see in this respect.
I also await the updated articles of this company (whose name we don't yet know, but the most prevalent assumption is that it is a re-activation of the FOMIH holding company), confirming these chages. If they don't, then its all moot, as NM will maintain final say (although part of me feels he still will anyways). But, as I will state once more, I am prepared to give this Supporters Club a go, and see what happens with it.
And yes, I am going to apply to be on the board. It would be rude not to.

Best wishes for the application to join the club but fear someone who speaks out might just be ignored.Keep up the good work on the blog Robb.
