Dave Witherow's style has been criticised by members who fell out with the previous leadership, but he yesterday labelled them "trouble-makers".
Mr Witherow confirmed yesterday that the society's constitution stipulated a vote of two-thirds of those who turned up at a general meeting was needed to change the society's purpose - from stopping the stadium to getting rid of the councillors who voted for it.
He said he planned to hold that meeting after the issue of court costs was decided, once the group knew if it was "broke or flush".
Two members questioned his plans on websites yesterday.
Former committee member, Anne Elliot, of Middlemarch, said on the Otago Daily Times site that at Sunday's meeting "while Mr Witherow went on at length about his aspirations for Stop the Stadium, no decision was made or able to be made about the direction.
"While there is great dissatisfaction with the present council and its bizarre decision-making, it should neither be taken for granted that STS members will support a complete change of direction of STS, nor that they want to be led by Mr Witherow in such an event."
Last night, she questioned whether his plan was to get former president Bev Butler elected to the council, and said she was concerned the campaign could get "personal and nasty".
Another former committee member, Meg Davidson, said on the What If? Stadium website Mr Witherow "showed his true colours before and after he was elected president, and insulted and demeaned some at the meeting and others who weren't".
"I think we can assume that under Dave's leadership STS will continue much as it was before."
She also criticised the lack of financial information at the meeting.
Both women, along with Peter Entwisle and Elizabeth Kerr, were last year asked to resign over their decision to hire a professional planner for the stadium plan change hearings - an idea earlier rejected by the group's committee.
Mr Witherow said last night there were 10 people who were trouble-makers in an organisation of 1500, and they had "given comfort to the enemies of Stop the Stadium".
"They've caused the committee an immense amount of bother and grief."
Member Malcolm McQueen moved at the meeting on Sunday the group should be wound up, because, he said yesterday, the new plans would not be served by a society set up to stop the stadium.
He expected that option to be discussed when a general meeting was held.
