Agree with Dapperz, stuff the private messages, let's get it all out in the open then it can put peoples mind to rest then that can be the end of it and a thread like this won't be started again.
Not that I should have to justify my posts to you or Dapperz but my p.m. was to try to identify exactly who easypeersey had been talking to. Only two Trust Board members travel on Terry's bus and guess what? He didn"t speak to either of us. As for it being the end of it, most sensible people would have thought that the statement put out by the Trust and the club after the last episode would have been enough to put it to bed. It certainly seemed to be enough for you to issue an apology to me. There is nothing to stop anybody resurrecting it every time Town lose a game. There are some conspiracy theorists on here... |

Oh I'm confident that there is no conspiracy here Barralad, the statement by club and Trust put my mind to rest, I'm just putting what others might think, no conspiracy as far as I'm concerned, but some may not agree.

I don't get this notion that the money was wasted on loan players who don't get a game. Do people think we ought to go through a season with a squad of 16, so nobody is ever sat in the stands? Surely some of the signings were to boost squad numbers as cover in case we had a sudden run of injuries/suspensions/loss of form and some such as Nolan, Horwood and Hoban have gone straight into the side and in general improved us IMO. We then get others complaining that loanees shouldn't go straight into the side at the expense of contracted players.  |

Keep up the good work Barralad and other Trust Board members.Far too many people on here happy to knock what these guys do in their own free time to try and make things better for all our supporters.Ask yourselves this what do you do to try and help fellow GTFC fans and the Club? The change over the last couple of years in the matchday experience since the Trust got involved has been a magnificent achievement and I wholly applaud the efforts of all concerned. To those that pour scorn on these efforts put up or shut up.UTM

But surely if your Nan gave you £20 to improve your appearance. But six months later you looked the same, she might ask if you had spent the money or not.
I personally don't care how my £20 was spent (within reason).
But I can understand those who do ?

I jokingly remarked 'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football' 'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked She said 'Well you already know how to play football' |

Would have thought the best time to have been asking the question was before you donated? Seemed pretty clear to me what I was giving money for and I was also fully aware it didn't come with any guarantees. The Trust deserves all the plaudits it got for organising what was a very successful and nationally recognised campaign.

Cant we just all move on..
We gave the money in good faith and im sure the trust distributed it in good faith.
One things for sure if we dont go up im not sure how many will get sucked in again by another operation promotion, it was a good thing to do at the time as we still had a feel good feeling around the club but im not sure that feel good feeling will still be around after six years of falling short if we do this time around.

100k is a pittance compared to what John Fenty and others have put in. Perspective is important.

[/quote] Look Nan I went to a charity shop and bought twice as many used things that I could have possibly bought at a quality shop, even though I never used some of them, however I do look a lot better than last year and with a little more financial help from Uncle John, I just could go places |
