Well if only 10 or so people turned up then there are a couple of conclusions that could be drawn....

The general support has no real regard for the trust ...

or

all is well and everyone is happy with how the trust is currently running...



Or possibly large swathes of the support who are or have been Mariner`s Trust Members have become fed up and frustrated with them towing the party line more often than not?

If that is the case this was the opportunity to turn up and tell them. It is the supporters trust as far as I am concerned and the board move forward in the direction the fans tell them

Exactly! Overriding theme of Saturday was if you want something different, tell us and get involved!

I've always thought that people will only be interested in the Trust when the club is in a crisis. It shouldn't be that way, but people are more inclined to take action after something has happened.

Was anything decided at the meeting?

I think that's a fair point; when something big happens (Op Pro, Stevenage) people are more interested than they are on a day to day level.

In terms of decisions, it was pointed out that if the membership wants us to have medium and longer term aims they need to tell us what they want and people need to step up to help them come to fruition.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

The Trust has outlived its usefulness (which was never great in my opinion)

Its seat on the board was always just to placate (and to get hold of its shares) it never had any power other than to make the tea extra weak or leave the pencils blunt.

It gave hope in the dark days that's about all, Fenty still rules everything and that will not ever be challenged by the Trust.

It was the timing of the meeting that put my mates and I off. We can just make the kickoff. If we cancelled the last job we might have made the meeting,,but what do we do with the couple of hours afterwards, ? As we all had to drive later a couple of hours in the pub was not possible. A bit more thought to the tome would have gone a long way to boosting the attendance
