Acquiring shares in the club makes it easier to access the rights to use the clubs name and assets in your objective to squeeze more money out of a variety of 3rd party funding initiatives that become available

The same as where we are now. In the SPL.
You are giving too much plaudits to the Kibble and ignoring the people in the club and the fans who have been loyal to the club many years before they arrived.
When you’re playing well you attract more fans, better players and in theory can generate better revenue from both.

You have misconstrued what was actually stated last night with your evident dislike for AW
The facts are that 2 Kibble Employees/SMFC Directors have taken a legal case against AW. The said employees have cited SMISA in their legal case in some form or another. SMISA have now incurred legal costs in order to protect itself and its members. If the later had not occurred then it had feck all to do with SMFC or SMISA and was about the 3 individuals. So much so had SMISA not been mentioned then the whole issue could easily have been shut down and not discussed at all.
From the legal case and the SMISA pre meeting statement, someone has something to hide and has been less than honest from the beginning . Good luck to the three of them, they are all as bad as each other I hope they spend a fortune on legal fees trying to see who can pee the highest and who has the largest ego.
 

I don't think it is legal action, in a punitive sense.  More an order not to disclose specific things they know in the public domain in case it prejudices their case against Wardrop.  On one hand, a reasonable and prudent thing to do however it does beg the question of what the SMISA board members know.  If that is just a frivolous scare tactic then SMISA should be easily able to dispense with it.  It could also be that one or more SMISA office-bearers have taken their own legal advice and asked for the kibble guys to make the order application so that they can keep shtum and refuse to answer questions until a counter-order is in place.  All tactics designed to cost the person being sued money and to try and persuade Wardrop to roll over.  I suspect that if this was going to happen then it would already have done so and that this case will end up with an agreement on both sides not to pursue it further. This is probably a futile exercise as SMISA will have to answer honestly if called as witnesses in the case. 
What is clear is that the governance is in shambles if one party feels the need to try and gag another. 
At first i thought that the Kibble guys were just after a few bucks in an out of court settlement, however this looks more like they are feeling vulnerable and trying to get a genie back in a bottle.

None of this looks very good, the governance structure seems not to have been respected and when individuals make an application on behalf of a body they are connected with, but not appointed to represent, then the suggestion (at least) is that some people on the board see their remit as unlimited and unrestricted.  If any good comes out of this, it will be around the defining of exactly who has the right and permission to do exactly what.
As regards the orders made against SMISA, I wonder what they are.  Possibly around public disclosure of things that might harm Kibble and that Kibble contest?
As I said at the very start, there is rarely anything so chaotic as a bunch of people using other people's money without any sense of accountability. 

It just strengthens my opinion that this Kibble merger was a bad Idea in the first place 
 

Smacks of an out of court settlement to shut it down to me, can't see it going to court unless AW has the evidence or is particularly fond of big risks.

AW gets back onto the board but is still barred from the stadium.

You obviously missed the bit I wrote
 
When only a 1/3 voted in the recent elections suggests that 2/3 are not that bothered. (That is the norm for anything that is SMISA related and that is a problem)
That does not however mean that 2/3rds of the membership can have you decide on their thoughts on the matter. 
 
The few shouty grumpy old men had their opinion. Funny how no one in the room offered a differing opinion. I did not witness a single person stand up and defend the board, other than the board.
What i have taken from your post is the best SMISA members are the ones who don’t engage but keep paying their money. If you voice an opinion you are labelled one of the few shouty grumpy old men. 
IMO - AW has made a tit of himself over this. Not on the content of his allegations but in the manner, the timing and the ignorance of who he was taking on. In relation to the content of his allegations I don’t care. The nub of the argument is the claim that Kibbles guys are in it for themselves. From what i observed the SMFC guys are in it also for themselves. JN hinted at other issues on the board. Who was the other Director that they took legal advice on to have removed and why.

I like many others just want a club that is run by professionals. The backstabbing and bickering should be done at board level not in public. AW, JG and JN have washed the clubs dirty underwear in public. Some and possibly all have lied to the supporters and the Fans Owned Club.

Time will tell. !!
Keep brushing. But that carpet will soon become a hill.

With the current run in form I would suggest getting them in the team on Saturday. One may have a conflict of interest.😂

"Hypothetically if the Kibble board members have been found to have lied, is that a trivial matter that has been blown out of proportion. "
No, I don't think it would be a trivial matter.
