I like that people connected to the trust are pushing the trust, it's a good thing.

However this idea is solely towards a transfer kitty, with the absolute maximum respect to everybody involved, I feel if I give my £100 to the trust, it won't go directly to the place I'd like it to, the pitch.


It's all well and good saying "maximum respect to...", then casting wild aspersions on something you don't really have any clue about!

If you really had any respect, you'd maybe wait a day or two for The Trust to announce their plans rather than making these risible statements and denigrating The Trust and all the excellent work they've done for fans on the last few years.

I will put £100 in.

I am already a long-time Trust member, have joined the Trust 100 club, am in the Gold Bond lottery and spend £5 every home game on the half-time lottery.  I have wins on of these, which keeps you encouraged.

What is different is that wife any 2 daughters (both in their 20s) don't like football.  I enrolled my wife in the Trust, also helpful as an exile for getting tickets for key games.

As xmas presents I then enrolled all 3 of them into the 100 Club monthly draw. This is very long-term as I am paying.   They have had some good wins. This helps them to identify more with GTFC.  A good thing, and it may help me go to more games when there were things to do around the house etc

Committed monthly income over the long-term all helps the Trust and the Club. The occasional win is also helpful in getting something back for your investment though.

Don't take that post the wrong way, it's not an 'allegation'.

My point is I know the trust put the money towards all different areas of the club which is brilliant. On this occasion I'd just like to see the money spent specifically on players. And with Chris' post saying that is the case, then brilliant. I'm not sure how that post could've been read any other way...

How about if I just buy a season ticket for the first time in years? That's £300ish they didn't have last year.

That's how I interpreted your post. The Trust have quite rightly spent money on the bars, the yoof and a few other important areas.
