You are correct when you say I have no say whatsoever in the trust.  The trust is an organisation which holds no sway over the board or fenty or the club. . . . they are pretty much Fenty's fundraising arm.  You hold no sway, I have no say in you holding no sway. . . what is the difference???


Well, to paraphrase then, you're saying it's nothing to do with you. So you can be quiet now.

Quoted from psgmariner


Why are you so bothered about them then?


Because I am bothered about GTFC and many of the trust members on here seem to assume an air of superiority and indeed spokesmanship for the entire fan base. . . not in my name!  Hope this makes it clear

You may want to retract that statement in due course.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner
I'm a member of the Trust but I don't think shrouding what is done in mystery is a positive thing. The Trust needs to be careful that it doesn't create an 'us and them' scenario - whilst non-members aren't entitled to vote, I do think they're entitled to know what's happening and to have an opinion. Alienating and excluding people completely won't persuade anybody to join up.


Good point.

If the ex chairman wants to protect his interests etc then fair enough...but to bargain himself into getting trust shares and then purchasing more is surely just holding the trust to ransom?

It has something to do with me when people who are in the trust assume the spokesmanship for the entire fanbase.  You can do what you want with the trust, run a tombola, tell fenty the catering is sh1t, bankroll the youth team for all i care but realise you do not speak for every supporter.

I am a shareholder and have been for years, ok it is small shareholding (but a lot more money than you have chipped in to become a member of the Trust).  This is a fans' forum, not a trust one.  People get very confused when they get over excited and think they are going to test the skills gained on their PC playing at running a foottball club in the real world!!!

What a load of balderdash you talk anyone who gets involved in the trust is power mad and doing it for their own ego yet when they go to the members for a vote this displeases you also. perhaps you should throw your tenner on the table and let the trust benefit from your wisdom



next meeting at the masonic hall?? lol

I see no evidence of this in this thread. And since this thread is titled 'E-Mail from the Trust' you would be well aware that contents of said email do not involve you or need your input, because, well, people who aren't in the trust need to realise that they do not speak for the entire trust membership
