There was never a lot of point to the trust when Fenty made every decision. With an uncertain future it may be that fans have a greater say in running the club. Given all the disagreement on here and the factions we all tend to divide into it's hard to imagine how it would ever work.

Quoted from the Grimbarian
Ill make one when the Trust decides how to represent the fans in all of this


The trouble with all of this is that for years the vast majority of fans wanted nothing to do with the Trust. I know for a fact that the Trust board have been looking for interested parties to join and help move the body forward. Unfortunately none were forthcoming and as Tarka says some of the real stalwarts lost interest.
It is sad that it is only now that the club is seemingly "threatened" that general interest in the Trust is stimulated. Sad but not unexpected. I'm not sure from your previous posts whether you are indeed a member. If you are then how about putting yourself forward as an activist. If not then the phrase "Put up or shut up" comes readily to mind.
Surely the Trust represents it's members only?


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

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.


I think Humbo blames them for his own urine poor excuse for a life.

I love it when people get personal because the silly twits have run out of anything reasonable about things

• In addition, it was requested for anyone involved with GTST to step away from the
negativity, and refrain from getting involved in any nastiness and backbiting that
seems commonplace on messageboards.

AN EPITAPH FOR ALL GTST MEMBERS

If by personal you mean questioning whether you have done all you could have done INSIDE the Trust then I guess I'm guilty as charged...
