Could any of you please tell me what roll the trust had in deciding how GTFC voted in the Checkatrade trophy.

This isn't sh1t stirring it's a genuine question.  Did the trust representative have any input to any discussions or not ??

If they did, what was their view ?  

If they didn't. then why not ?

It's not a dig at the trust, but before I approach the club I'd like to get some background info.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
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'

According to the Mariners Trust on Twitter they remain strongly against the inclusion of B/ Under 21's/23's teams and have made those thoughts clear to the board.

Still dont know how we voted mind

If there's another free holiday to Portugal as bait I'd imagine we voted in favour again.

The Mariners Trust board rep was involved in discussions and made the views of the fans known to the club board in no uncertain terms that fans are opposed to any inclusion of 'B' teams in the Checkatrade competition.

Pretty sure that Fenty et al are aware of the supporters feelings towards this competition already.

Do the board really need anyone to tell them, it was obvious from the games we took part in (609 and 597 crowds). It's not the "Fishy Five", the Twitterati, or any other vocal subset of fans who boycotted the games, it's most of the regular supporters even people who have been to every game for years. I suspect even those who went may have done so with heavy hearts.

That's for the club to announce, not the Trust.

This stance doesnt sit easily with me although I do understand it.

Maybe it is time for the Trust to upset the cosy relationship with the club by representing the fans best interests and being answerable to their membership?

Like a democracy you mean? There's a novel concept.
