Great meeting last night. ( AGM ) Please folks. These people involved with the Trust are doing the best they can for the benefit of our football club. I as a member was pleasantly suprised with the progession that these very committed people are achieving.  They are working tremendously hard for the cause as I could see last night.  With very little thanks too! reading this board or the Apathy amongst the general Town fan. That's the way I see it.

  Well done to Chris Parker ( Chairman ) and his team.

If you want a say?  Join the MARINERS TRUST!  Simple.   UTM!

With all respect Sonik (and I'm sure you're a thoroughly decent bloke) you're not exactly impartial, are you? Likewise I'm sure the Trust Board are thoroughly decent but your brother being a seasoned and successful businessman pulled a fast one quite frankly....a supporters' trust should not, under any circumstances gift 200,00 shares to a private individual! Simple!!

I'm sure Chris Parker will be embarrassed about sonik describing the trust board as his team too! Chris is part of a group, he has no more of a say than any of the others. He is there to represent and communicate the wishes of the board.

To be fair to Chris Parker, he does know what he's on about compared to most.

Quoted from Wrawby_Mariner


No members of the Trust Board are willing to take advantage of any directors advantages at a match day and have said this since any mention of a seat on the Board came about. I can't speak for any other Trust Board member but in my opinion we are just fans like everyone else and thats all we will be. All we want to do is try and make a difference, Id do what ever for the Trust whether I was on the Board or not, it seems there is just isn't enough people with the time to do it or have the typical 'someone else will do it' attitude. I know the idea of a Trust doesn't float everyones boat but together we can achieve much.



think you've misread my post wrawbz - please read it again carefully and you'll see my sarcasm was directed at the club's directors ,not at the Trust's Board.

still don't think anyone's answered my point as to whether all the other directors will be expected to raise a certain amount of money for the club each year in order to retain their place.

still don't think anyone's answered my question as to why for individuals to get on the board they have to put in £50k but for the trust the 'rules' have been changed so that they have to give £30K pa

Why don't the trust keep the 1st £30'000 in the bank,

Then next year thay will have the £50,000 guarantee ( I think thats all it is , a guarantee )

That a director makes to become a member of the board,

It would be a very sad day if the board turn that offer down,

They will then have full voting rights and could still raise money on behalf of the club.
