On the basis of the Trust being offered a place on the board (I won't add the obvious), in the middle of this process, surely it is now right and proper that this ballot be abandoned with immediate effect as this news was not available at the start of the process.

Surely it brings into question the way that the GTFC board are operating that this should be dropped in prior to the end of the ballot?

The integrity of the ballot has been irrevocably damaged.

If just one Trust member has changed his vote as a result of the blatant inducement to vote 'yes' that this deviously late announcement is clearly meant to offer, then the whole process is corrupted

BLATANT INDUCEMENT
DEVIOUSLY LATE

Firstly its far more important that some bunch of Arabs shouting, wailing and shooting each other (there are lots of them but only one Grimsby Town) and secondly my apologies about the big words

I forgot this is The Fishy and 'the cat sat on the mat' is more appropriate suitable
better

I dont read what he is asying as 'vindictive'.  I think he is expressing dissappointment at the way things are operating at the Club at the moment.

I wouldn't go so far as to say there are a lot of smoke and mirrors but the process is far from transparent and I think Ipswin gets the same feeling I do; that the club is being played with like a football, this is a distraction from the job in hand, your brother isn't being quite upfront about what is happening, the goalposts keep shifting etc

I think unless you have been privy to these meetings between GTFC and the Trust the smoke and mirror comment from yourself has been derived from various posters on this board.  People read too much into some of these statements when they clearly are making a guess at best.

Let's concentrate on the Job in hand of winning football matches to get us out of this League.

UTM!

I should hope not - I am as English as you !

Seriously you don't think it is 'irrevocably' damaged? You really think a number of potential 'no' voters won't have been swayed by this?

You don't think it's a 'blatant inducement' to vote 'yes'? It has been announced just a week before voting closes after much discussion by those who were undecided about how the Trust were going to benefit from gifting the shares

As for 'deviously late' if you can't see that there is no hope
