Supporters Trust

Well I can't argue with you there Wrawbs but the positive thing is that the organisation is still there, it is organised within a legal framework and if, God forbid, the worst came to the worst the fans would take an interest again.  The problem (if you can call it that) was that people always assumed that JF would bail us out and whilst that was the case never saw the need for supporter involvement.  Maybe that will be the case again...or maybe MP will become the benefactor.  Who knows?

Quoted from the Grimbarian

I said that fron day 1 and even because it was the truth I was even accused of slander and libel and accused that the idea didnt work because of people reading my views on it.

What I meant was, If the fans put some weight behind the trust instead of letting it fester, maybe they could make a difference.

Maybe re-launching and re-branding the Trust might do it some good?

If it was going to work it would have by now but in the end it wasnt to be because the Trust always blamed everyone but themselves and anyone one who had their own opinion on it.But by doing this on a messageboard people didint think that it was going to be a serious organisation so that why its dissappeared but like i said the Trust will blame everyone but them selves in all of this

possibly wrawbz but with apathy reigning and interest and passion for the club at an all time low, this would probably be the worst possible time to do such a thing. the best thing for the trust is unfortunately the worst thing for the club (i.e. the club would be on the verge of collapse before supporters would rally to the trust)

In fairness that has been the case with every Trust that has ever taken off.  Sad but true.

agreed .the other point to make is that in all likelihood it wouldn't be the fans or trust who would save the club (the debts involved nowadays, even at our level, are just too big) ; it would be the trust backing another wealthy businessman who came in with the majority of the money neede to rescue the club

Yes, quite right. Acting as a catalyst for investment.

Exactly, and although we are currently in no financial mess now, whose to say we won't be on the bones of our rear after Christmas?

Forgive me if i've missed something but what are the trust supposed to blame themselves for? At the end of the day they are actively trying to be involved and are entitled to be disappointed at the lack of backing from so called fans. I myself are not in the trust for my own reasons but i give credit to those who are involved and who do care about the running of the club.
