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.
Thankyou Kristine, I'm glad to hear that. Not sure if you can (or even want to) answer this. Who actually made the decision that was made (either way) in regard to the vote. Was it a board decision, or Just the owner or the owner/CEO ? |

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'  |

How about everyone refusing to buy a season ticket until GTFC release the information?

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?
In what way has the Trust not represented fans best interests or being answerable to the membership? The Trust has a board member. That board member represented the fans in the boardroom. The Trust doesn't own the club, it cannot speak on behalf of the club. |

Could it not speak on behalf of its membership and inform us as the club clearly dont want too? Just dont understand the secrecy, from the club or the Trust. Seems like one-up-man-ship. We know, but we arent going to tell you because you are insignificant!! |

Well no. It's nothing to do with secrecy. The Trust doesn't own the club, it's for the club to make a statement. Speaking personally and not on behalf of the Trust, I agree 100% that the club should have made a statement by now and that every hour that ticks past it makes the situation worse. But that's a decision - for whatever reason - the club has decided to make. |

I don't doubt that the Trust made their feelings clear.
I'd be pretty upset if we, as a club, voted to retain the trophy format.
But I'm more upset at this ongoing silence. The club has had more than enough time to prepare a statement, or an article, to explain how it voted on the matter, and why.
We know there was a press release written (and embargoed) ahead of time.
The club has literally had days to think about how it was going to inform the fans.
This silence, for me, speaks volumes. This is no way to treat fans who, not so long ago, raised over £110,000 - without any prompting - to help our push for promotion.

I reckon it's like when I've made a member up or have something else to say that I know will go down like a lead balloon. I don't want to do it and put it off and put it off. Much better to get it our their John. Get it off your chest. It'll make you feel better in the long run.  |

If I understand right the owner is not the CEO. Is Ian Flemming the CEO? In between writing all those books about that spy. |

On the night before the playoffs, I bumped into Ian outside the Army and Navy club (which as a former Commander in the RN he was a member of). Smoking a turkish cigarette through a cigarette holder, Ian told me that he based the character Blofeld on Shaun Harvey. |

The Trust have a place on the board. Normal rules for a board or committee are, if the the collective board vote is different to the vote of an individual member, that member will have to stand by the collective board decision, and 'own' that collective decision, even if they don't agree with it. Normally, an individual board member cannot later state that they disagree with any collective decision of the board. The price of board membership is that you sometimes have to 'own' board decisions you disagree with.
Reading between the lines, I suspect that's probably the position the Trust are in, and why they're being a bit cagey about how they voted.
That's my understanding of how most boards and committees work, and why I'm a bored member rather than a board member.
