Just because you filled a form in it doesn't mean that you will be directly involved, I have filled mine in also, and if any of my skills are required I am happy to help out as and when, but if not I am just happy to support the trust.
I agree that we certainly don't want a situation like in the past where all the boards decisions were blindly followed, I'm sure that won't be the case, there's a lot to be said for a healthy bit of scepticism, as long as OUR club is the winner in the end.

| Quote: Chairman Miaow "TRB said
Clearly you have a problem with me, but that's ok, the Trust will be a fully democratic group - i.e. if you want a change, vote for it.
The Trust, of which I am part of the working party, is working hard to ensure that there is some continuity as a club. We are not supporting, and have not supported, the calls for investment into the club at this time. We ALL want change, and some of us are working hard to achieve that, whilst still having a club going forward.
Who are these other 'usual suspects' you refer to - or did you just mean me? If so, then I am sorry that you cannot see through what is happening and what the reality truly is.
ALL the information that we have available is in the public domain - no secrets.

Give us a break! There hasn't been time to review anything yet, and it will take a few weeks to complete all the technical stuff.
Once the Trust is formed - and we will let you know when it is - then there will be an AGM and there will be nominations and voting to take place.
In the meantime, there are already around 14 people in the working party and hopefully a few more to join, once all the offers of help have been reviewed.
You are more than welcome to make your views known now and in the future!

| I absolutely do not have a problem with you. I apologise unreservedly if I have made things appear too personal. FWIW I am deeply respectful of public spirited supporters like your good self. I simply think that the current club regime have lied to you and attempted to take advantage of your good nature. That's very stupid of them, considering this club appears to run on a massive amount of supporters goodwill.

Its not, it just that some care enough to actually make an effort to make these things happen, i'm sure they would all happily step down (in fact i'm postive) when its formed an running, then those with an interest and the skills needed can take the trust forward.
The whole idea is to vote members on or off depending on the votes of ALL members but in the meantime someones got to do the donkey work and those people are working hard in their own time for the good of all.
In the meantime feel free to log in and criticise while others make the effort for you.

that's some come down after your early comments,
rather criticise others efforts for going that extra mile have a little more trust in what is being achieved within the supporters trust every little helps

and I hopeyou give the Trust a chance and I am offended by the comment above,having run the Junior supporters for ten years, raised thousands through squadbuilder, been on Dave March, Adam Watene and JD testimonials none for the recognition of the BOD and to get in on the inside gossip .Did it for the cause and because I was asked not for self importance.
Of course the Trust will have elections so it will be for the members to choose who they wish to take it forward.

to be fair none of this will get us anywhere, there is a feeling that some of the ones closer to the club have been a tad naive in what they have believed, i share that view but will not critisise TRB, you, or any member of the sqaudbuilder gang, some of us, me included, may want to get involved in our own way, or use proffesional skills to help us go forward but in many ways, and i accept its a hard pills to swallow, what went before means nothing, and didnt work!!!!!
This of course does not include any of the charitable things you mentioned for which all of your work deserves praise.

| Quote: Chairman Miaow "TRB said
I'm involved with the Working Party to establish the Trust indeed I Chaired last Tuesday's meeting. Many people know me and I do not hide behind a name. I'm a fan of many years and I've been a sponsor for many years so I don't know whether that makes me a usual suspect or not. If people feel that I am then I'll happily stand aside and let someone else do the hard work to set it up.
A few of us started to look into a Trust months back before the recent news broke because we were concerned about the lack of communication between the Board and the Supporters of the Club and felt that a Trust should push for share ownership and Board representation so the fans views would be heard.
We are working hard to set up the Trust and once established a Board/Committee will be elected by the members of the Trust by democratic elections. It will be Open and Honest and fully inclusiive, it will be the fans Trust. 200 people last Tuesday seemed to be happy with what we are doing but maybe they have changed thier mind.

| no ones having a go SC, but I think like any organisation in your position ie set up under crisis effectively, you are going to have to be seen to be clean of all previous ties to whats going on now, which I know you personally are, others may have to realise a few years away from the top table influencing from a quiet corner is better, for now.

| Feline, (still can't do these fancy copy things!) with reference to the paying off of the £725,000 bank loan, it is included in the annual accounts dated 31 December 2007 and referred to by the accountant at the subsequent AGM.

Thanks. Maybe I'm getting a little sensitive but we believe in what we are doing and for the right reasons and we are working hard and giving up many hours that could be spent on our own activities and businesses. I appreciate that people have views but we have to tread carefully in these difficult times.
All I would say is please Trust us and I'm sure the end result will be acceptable.
