Sensible words.  

One thing, it mentions canvassing in the New Year to see where the trust should go next...have they not just done that very recently ?

Thanks for the kind words.

We gave people the chance to come talk to us at an open meeting and we had about 20 people there. So if they won't come to us, we'll go them!

No problem Paul - I think you have encapsulated the thoughts of many. What JF needs to understand is that many of us are not being critical of him as a person, just critical of how the club has been run and how the club is failing to connect with its' customers. Bizarrely, the thing that crossed my mind was the fact that the actions of other board members have shown that it's not just JF that isn't in touch with the fanbase.

I must say well done Paul. Hopefully with somebody who is engaged  with the mood of the fans as you are with some diplomacy thrown in you stand a good chance of changing things. I hope the board are receptive.

Some might find this hard to believe. The vast majority of Town fans go to a game, support their team, go home.

A good article Bax. Nicely judged and balanced without pulling any punches. Makes some good points. For me this is the standout one:

'There might not be an abundance of wealthy people willing to chuck money at the club, but there's certainly plenty of people with expertise and experience who have ideas and time to donate to help their club.'

I had a few other comments but in the spirit of the article I'll keep shtum  


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Great article. I don't agree with it all, but it's really refreshing to see the Trust call the club out for some of it's nonsense. Gives me loads more confidence in the Trust.
I look forward to getting behind the team tomorrow as always.

In any organisation, the ability to communicate effectively is of the utmost importance. Folk may not like what's being said, but at least if they are involved somehow in this process - as is happening here - then they understand it, and generally accept it. Keep up the good work Bax.


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

According to fenty PR is winning games so if we win today we appear not to have any such issues.
