BTW your treatment of Emma is nothing short of disgusting....and yet you still expect to be taken seriously? It beggars belief!

My apologies, I forgot Emma is god.

Once again you choose to miss the point and misrepresent me in the process.

It's pretty obvious really. One of the things that will be up for discussion tomorrow is how does GTST reach out to the wider fan base. Who knows it may include getting people on ALL of the messageboards involved.

At no point have I ever said that the Trust isn't meant to represent the supporters. I have said that the Trust is meant to represent its members who are by definition supporters.


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

Hi There

Just to be clear, this is an OFFER at this stage, and will still need to be approved by the board of the football club.

GTSTs immediate response can be found at http://www.gtst.net

I'm about to get in the car and do the 170 mile drive home, so I won't be able to respond to any posts for the next 3/4 hours.

Regards, Emma

Not necessarily but it's better than what you've proposed.


Why is it better, because you say so? Or do you presume to speak for others, because I can't seem to see anyone on this thread whose a proponent of your argument.

Thought that you would have referred to her as goddess not god.

Will,

I hear what you're saying and see your view but I'll tell you exactly why.

There are wider issues at stake than little old ME.

What if I there are hundreds or even thousands of other GTFC supporters who might be willing to participate, donate, vote or become a member to a cause in the future, but aren't willing or able to do what GTST are currently asking or might ask them to do ?

Let's face facts, I might be viewed as a "pain up the @rse" but it's not just ME that hasn't been persuaded to participate is it ?

The issue is about whether GTST/those willing can persuade their target customers i.e. the dormant supporters to make it a success.
Like it or not, as a potential customer I'm not convinced and I won't buy a ticket to the grand-ball until I'm persuaded.

This whole attitude of "It's down to the supporters to show willing" is missing the whole point.

You wouldn't hear a business say :

"We've done our bit, now it's down to the customers to make the business work" would you ?

or

"If you don't like it, you can **** off !"

Errr.....    

I hope you see my point.


2 words - CUSTOMER SERVICE. (not blaming you just an example !)

Anyway don't worry about me or several others - we won't be attending or banging on about it.

A shame or not ?

Take if from someone who has tried and failed (so far) to persuade supporters to save their money, that's it not a case of blaming people, it's whether you can sell and market the idea to them.

The cold hard facts are that the customer doesn't need to do or prove a god damn thing...


80s, 2 words. "intercourse off".


It's not a business so why are the words "customer service" relevant? It's not about suppliers and customers. It's co-operative.

Christ's sake. You spout lefty stuff half the time, yet when it comes to taking action you want to be treated as a reactive consumer.
