Question for the Trust

Quoted from Quagmire

The bit in bold is the frustrating thing for me.

I don't believe that JF posting on here (or any other GTFC forum) is a good idea personally but he does and that's 100% his choice to do so.

When he does, as he did last week (Friday?), he has the opportunity to engender some respect from the fans by answering the actual questions that he knows the fans are asking on here.

Instead though, he decides to make a post that is designed to do one thing and one thing only - to intimidate certain sections of the support from not attending the fans forum and asking these questions.  

"I know exactly what questions you want answers to but I dare you to come and ask me them to my face, you're all keyboard warriors"

It's bully-boy intimidation tactics.

Instead of spending the time he did last week writing that post he could have actually answered the questions posed here - but all we got was an aggressive post that doesn't do anything other than turn more people against him (plus his primary objective of trying to put certain people off attending the fans forum).

I'd like to think that the Trust could canvas the supporters for questions to ask at the forum for those fans that are unable to attend.

Quoted from pizzzza

Sorry, I have to pull you up on this as it is just plain wrong. Maybe you are only speaking to a small band of happy clappers but the conversations that I have been having in the past few weeks (both at games and away from BP) people (from all walks of life - not just on social media) ARE talking about the lack of entertainment and wanting rid of RS and having a change in the boardroom.

Quoted from grimsby pete

I agree with what you are saying Ginny.

A few months back I was going on and on about not getting my lifetime membership card from the Trust,

I just wanted in my wallet as I travel round Suffolk,

Now I am not bothered if they send me it or not.

Very poor Trust  

Quoted from Mariner Ronnie

Where’s your full stop?

Quoted from Ipswin

I haven't finished the sentence yet. The full stop would have come after 'you thick twit'.

Quoted from barralad

Don't apologise. Anyway it's only partly wrong because the first two of your points are encompassed in my point about lack of success on the pitch. You are as likely to mix in circles which broadly agree with your opinion as I am to mix with people who broadly agree with mine. I'm talking about people engaging me in conversation because of my role with the Trust not particularly friends. It would greatly assist in debate if the term "happy clappers" for someone who doesn't share in the dystopian view about the club could be dispensed with but there we go.  

Quoted from bax

Barralad's comments echo what I could say. Historically, whenever people are given the chance to affect change they haven't taken it. The Fishy is only a snapshot of a few supporters, it's not the voice of a majority. In the last two weeks I've had one private message and one email about the future of the Trust and/or the club. That's two people. We had about 20 at the AGM and a similar number at the open meeting.

We've already committed to surveying all fans and finding out what people want the Trust to do. You can go to the fans forum next week, watch it on YouTube or listen on RH. Get involved. You can't and won't get change from moaning on here. I'll be the Trust rep on the panel so ask away.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Away from the terminology I have always been interested to understand if the club use the Trust as a consultative body away from any board meetings? e.g.lets say away at Lincoln this season we get an allocation of 400 tickets does the Trust get asked it's view on how the ticketing would work?
