Quoted from Ipswin


I didn't misquote you at all in fact I included the 'if it can be confirmed' in the quote - my point was that giving a place on the GTFC board to a member of the Trust could well influence the vote (and in the case of many voters simply 'offering' a place would be enough.)

As it stands from your initial enthusiasm I suspect you had no understanding of how ineffective he/she would be and what a minor role the Trust member on GTFC's board would be forced to play even when the seat is 'concrete'

Dress it up how you like, back off from your initial excitement and your change of vote if you wish but the announcement has come at a vital moment and the timing of it is to say the least open to suspicious interpretation.



Woah! I didn't say you misquoted me. I was merely explaining my position.

As to your rather patronising "I suspect you had no understanding of how ineffective he/she would be and what a minor role the Trust member on GTFC's board would be forced to play even when the seat is 'concrete'".  Errm - I think you and I have differing opinions on what is achievable with a 'concrete' Trust seat on the board, and maybe even what Trusts are for.  

Do have a look at this website when you have some spare time:

So are you saying that, providing it's concrete, a place (I won't call it a 'seat' as it won't be a full blown position) on the board for the Trust, however little power it brought (see DavidB's detailed post), would satisfy you and would cause you to vote 'yes'?

What am I supposed to be looking at on the website you quoted?
