Quoted from MeanwoodMariner


You seem to fail to understand what the Trust is. It does not "represent the fans views" in the way you seem to think it should. It is a collection of people who have paid to join and have their say on issues like this one. Clearly all of the people involved are fans and want the best for the club but they have no obligation to canvas opinions of non-trust members.



No there is no reason to canvas opinion but I think they have a RESPONSIBILITY that has been gifted to them which appears to have been thrown away . . . . .  they have been ridden like a Cleethorpes donkey by hardened businessman Fenty!  Who do you think got the better deal? The trust or Mr Fenty?

So how can they canvass all the fans then? Surely balloting members on the big decisions is the best option and this is the option they have taken.

Jesus I've been away for a few hours and then all this?!? What the hell has gone on?! Anyone kind enough to summarise to avoid me starting a new thread?

Apologies if I have misread your post. From the above I interpreted it as you saying they had no reason for canavassing opinion but did have a responsibility to do so.

But what does that responsibility involve? Asking every Town fan? Who counts as a Town fan. Season ticket holders? Fishy members? People who have been to a game at some point in the last 5 years? I'm not being a d1ck, I'm just pointing out that there isn't a definition of a Town fan and even if there was how do you begin to gather a consensus? It seems a pretty fair system to me to have an organisation like the Trust that anyone can join if they want and have their say.

As for the deal itself, I dont know the full details as I am not a Trust member (yet). I suspect Fenty could have got a much better for a deal for himself if he had really wanted to fu(k the Trust over. The Trust still have a significant proportion of shares and can continue to grow with time. Right now Fenty is in a better position to sustain the club and IMO the club are better off with those shares in Fenty's control right now. But as i'm not a member of the Trust yet my opinion is not relevant.

I don't mean a responsibility to listen to my or any other non trust member's opinion just a huge (and possibly unwanted) responsibility given to them by Mr Parker and on behalf of all fans
