This was first mooted weeks if not months ago now. Allowing shift workers to purchase a package of tickets for the next say 6 or 10 games that they are able to attend with a small discount seems sensible enough to me (I am assuming that the proposals put forward are along these lines, if not you can have this one for free). My point is how long does it take for a decision to be made? Are we going to be resurrecting this thread again in months time when nothing has happened?
Only the club can answer that! |

The Trust has a rep on the club's board, yes. But while the Trust has a great dialogue with the club, the club still makes the decisions on stuff like this as it always has.

The Trust rep (or should that be two, what's happened to dave Roberts' replacement?) ought to be part of that decision-making process. If the other directors are disregarding the voice of the fans they need to move on. |

Be sensible - of course the Trust rep is part of that process. But it's not the sole voice in the process and (not speaking about this in particular) if the club feels it's not in their best interest, things don't have to happen just because Trust/fans/others think it's a good idea. |

I know that. But we've also seen how the Major Shareholder simple didn't even consult on a key issue. On the other hand Trust led initiatives have proved successful (as you know). Do the maths. |

I'm getting a strong sense of deja vu here. I'm certain we've discussed this before and there was general acceptance that the Trust were entitled to one place on the board of GTFC but Dave Roberts was regarded highly by the club and invited on to double our representation as a one off. Jon Wood remains our rep. by virtue of our entitlement under the agreement. |

Given the nature and typical GTFC ('be sensible') type statement from Bax is there any point whatsoever in the Trust having a place as such on the board ? That's not a pop at the trust before you all start jumping up and down. They have made massive improvements off the pitch for sure. But if the board don't have to consult them (ie EFL tropohy) then are they just there for lip service? They could still have JF's ear without actually being on the board. |

I understand your statement and I feel the Trust ARE better off actually being sat at the top table even if there have been occasions ( one that we know of but a bloody big one all the same) when they have been ignored. Having JF's ear helps but as he has shown it is only any use when he actually is prepared to listen. I would go as far as saying that applies to all the board members and not just the Trust rep |

JF would tell you that decisions are not solely his own, they are board decisions and the Trust have a vote on the board, the same as every other director. The whole EFL thing has somewhat muddied that perception and i think the club and/or the Trust would do well to explain why that happened.
