| Quote: RebelRebel "The new chairman has stated publicly that come what may, we'll have a team in SL next season. I guess it comes down to whether you trust him with that statement or not.
As I understand it, the meeting is aimed at looking to find ways forward. If there aren't any, then the necessary arrangements will be made. SC, TRB and others have stated that they won't advise fans to put their money into a venture that has no prospects whatsoever, and I for one trust them with that. I don't see why it should be a meeting that's hard to control if the people who are there actually want to do something to help. If they can.'"
I shall be attending,I hope it's not going to be a slagging match, let Mr Carter answer questions and hopefully lift our spirits regarding the future.I understand there are many who are angry and bitter towards certain people,I too would like many questions answered,but we all as supporters have one thing in common,Trinity.There will no doubt be people attending looking for the least bit of in house fighting to report back to the gutter press,take it from my own experience, it dos'nt take much.Hopefully we all come away with hope for the future.

Disagree. It'll provide a basis for asking sensible questions and showing you where your bottom line really is.
Anyway, it's not my intention to distract from what I'm sure will be a very interesting and hopefully productive event. Please keep us ex-pats in the picture.

agree and wasnt trying to be negative, but was trying to reflect the mood of real fans, wasnt criticising anyone but to be honest asking fans for more of their hard earned without answers of whats gone on in last 2 years is close to insulting to those they need to keep, ?

The basis of the meeting is going forward - but there will be a review of how we got here.
There is no going forward until we find out what has happended, why all the secrecy?
Absolutely - and any delay / apparent secrecy is because people are working hard to get the facts right.
Why do we have to part with our money on a basis of trust?
You won't be - this will all be covered in the meeting'"
The meeting will feature the new BoD - Michael Carter and Chris Brereton. They will provide the background to where we are at, present information about where we are currently and lay out their plans going forward. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions - but this is no kangaroo court.
We have just spent 5 hours in a meeting with Chris Brereton - which we are doing so that we do not end up where the Bulls did. There is much still to sort before Monday, but it will be an eye-opening event.

| Is Cats bar big enough to hold the meeting? Have you any ideas of numbers attending? I wasn't around for the Cedar Court event and wasn't that rammed? I would think that this is a more important event with our future on the line. I'm hoping for a full house to show Mick and Chris that they have the support of the fans.

The last crisis meeting was held at the coach house so it should be big enough.

| For those that can't make it how is every gory detail of the meeting going to be conversed? Is it going to be filmed? Or a transcript of the meeting be available? I think getting the full message out to everybody, i.e everything that is said no matter how hard it may be to listen to, is vital to ensure full openess and give the best chance of some success coming from it.

If it can be recorded somehow it could uploaded to the website.

| Why not webcast it, to avoid the farcical Cedar Court situation, where there had to be two sittings?

| I am planning to be there and have already offered my support to the Supporters Trust and Michael Carter personally, to help in anyway I can, even (and I suspect I might) by possibly sticking my hand in my pocket too!
Hope to see loads of familiar faces next Monday.

| A few years back the first ST meeting was a sell out, lots of voices and people wishing to be put forward to sit on the trust (troubled times you may remember) A great sign up for the very first outing.
Then along came AG and the fans of this club deserted the trust under the promise of "won't have to worry about funding again"
Very few could see any point in the trust or what it could offer, so the plug almost got pulled on it.
AG had no intention of allowing the trust to have anything more than a quiet voice within this club, WiSCA walked away and that at a guess cost the club thousands of pounds each year.
Come Monday it'll be packed down at BV once again with the very same supporters saying the very same things.
If that offends anyone then it serves you right.

Spot on, very fair summation.
Hopefully this time things will be different.
