| Quote: Karlos "Just so everyone is aware, I have been in contact with Laura Harrison over the weekend and she has emailed me back with some information.
Laura says if we do decide to go down the road of organising a supporters trust, she will support and advise us through the process.
Laura also recommends we get the ball rolling sooner rather than later as well.If we do decide amongst a few of us to get something started , how many of you would want to be involved?
I dont know if Gary or Bruce want to put this on a separate thread or just leave it on here, but what does everyone think?'"
I've also spoken to Laura,and i ask anyone who wishes to become involved to please make themselves know. |

The old Supporters Trust raised money in a bid to buy shares and a controlling stake in the club...it still technically exists |

I refer you to my previous post

Ok so you have identified a potential way forward for the club , for it to succeed you need the support of all the fans [ so that is another problem and solution you have identified ]
So how do you get those 760 fans down to a trust set up meeting ?
You need a database of them all and you need to contact them all
When is your next home game ?
Out of the 30/40 who go on here or are within easy contact of those who post on here can you organise some of you to get down to the match and collect names,addresses and phone numbers of all your fans
Between the 30/40 all chip in to pay for a letter to be sent out and get every one of the 30/40 to ring 20 fans each
If they get a letter and a call after already being told why you want their details and they still dont attend or offer to help then basically you are bolloxed
But if you dont try you will not know
You need to be proactive [ hate that word ] with this or it might be too late and your last chance
All the best '" '"
You need to let them all know , 20/30 are not enough
Hard work I know but you must do it if you want to get anywhere

| Quote: DRAGONFAN "I know your post was made at just after five this morning-- but don't understand the part of your post that i've highlighted in your quote.
When has any monies raised by the fans of the Dons ever sat in a bank account for ever and a day?-------Never,as far as i'm aware.'" Up to now there has always been a club to give it to ! If all fails what would happen to money raised for a trust, and yes I do sometimes get up early to go to work. |

Whilst there is a club to still give to then every avenue needs to be explored,and one of those avenues is the Supporters Trust ---should there become a time the club ceases to exist (God-Forbid) then the Supporters Trust and whoever its member's are would have to decide on what happens to any outstanding monies i would have thought.

And a Saturday morning at that. |
