Quote: Dr Robert "I have read about the marketing focus at the Wire and particularly the development of the fan club and the ambassadors, designed to take the club forward and I'm "Live wired". These are obviously good moves.
But I searched in vain for anywhere that the huge contribution of the Supporters Trust and Squad Builder has made has been acknowledged and recognised. It seems that their contribution has been airbrushed out and as far as I hear they were not seriously consulted when the new structure was being developed.
This is unacceptable; the Supporters Trust was a nationally recognised and leading initiative and, as I understand it, squad builder has contributed nearly £200,000 from individual donations, all for local player development.
I am not a member of either organisation but like most supporters I recognise their part in the reshaping of the club, and so should the present administration. We owe them a big thank you.
It’s not too late to put this right. The club needs to publicly and strongly acknowledge their contribution. To paraphrase what a great man once said "If I've got anywhere it's by standing on someone else's shoulders". The supporters trust have provided some of the broad shoulders.
Message to the club, do the right thing and do it now.'"
Dunno if you have seen, but your letter was printed in the guardian this week
