Now this may not be everyone's cup of tea, but the Supporters Trust do have an agreement with MC that if we can - working together - get another 1,000 new sign ups to club1873, then the Trust will be granted a place on the BoD.
Whilst some of you may cringe at the thought, we hope that there are enough of those out there who agree with us that such a move would be of benefit to both the club and to us - the supporters.
There hasn't been much discussion about this on here - and I know I'm opening this up to all perspectives - but that's the point isn't it?
The whole purpose of the Supporters Trust is that we aim for involvement at BoD level - not because we don't believe in MC, or any individual, but because we believe that we better protect and represent supporters views this way.
Of course there are rules and regulations involved here - we can't just vote for cheaper season tickets as that would be against the health of the club - but having survived numerous close scrapes, we have no desire to see us, the supporters, dragged through the mire once more and, if it did come to that, we would hope to be in the best position possible to assist in the recovery process.
So, to get where we need to be we will need the extra members on 1873 - we know there have been some already and we will be pushing this harder after Christmas - but for now I wanted to at least open the debate up about the representation side. With P&R, the structure of SL and NM buzzing about in the background we are as convinced as ever we were that this is the right direction for us - after all, that's why the Trust was formed!
