Anyone know if someone called Grant Collins has been a member of our board of directors?

Not that I recall in the last 40 years - are you thinking of someone involved with the Velocity group - they have their own board of members - many of which are not actual directors of the club

Someone I met last night at a corporate event said to me he used to be a director of the club , I had my doubts but don’t understand why he would make something like that up .

Strange

given you spoke to him last night you would think if true it would have been this century - and all that information is easily visible at Companies House

Not a name I’ve heard but could he be an investor with ALK?

Perhaps he’d had a few too many Tom Collins?

I was actually wondering about this kind of non-executive role yesterday - it makes much more sense now, and obviously would not have to be declared by the club publicly.

Non-exec directors are still directors for legal purposes and need to be declared at Companies House.

But could be doing the role at one of the Jersey entities or could be a consultant rather than non-exec director
