Think that the Trust would gain a lot of credibility if it came out and said it could not work with Fenty anymore and withdraw from the board.You have to face it they would have as much influence not being on the board as they do being on it.


I think it is becoming more clearer to people what the root cause of our problems are.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Never been overly mad on Burnsey but I learnt to appreciate that he was being devilish, and even a downright wind-up merchant when he would drop controversial little snippets and veiled accusations into the football chat regarding Town.

I realised  it was his job to do this. Unlike Fenty and Slade who have, or should have more pressing matters.

I would like to hear something along these lines from the Trust.I have tried and tried to get behind JF over the years but he frustrates to the point his position is now untenable and he must be removed.The Trust are probably the only seat on the board who could publicly call for a vote of no confidence in him and when they don't get any support from the nodding dogs Marley and Co they can resign their seat in protest.

And then the trust would be separated from those running the club, with no goodwill, no influence and nothing but the hope that somebody else will eventually buy Fenty out at some unspecified future date.

In effect, the trust then wouldn't be able to do anything much to represent the fans which is their whole point.

You may well be right and that`s why I would suggest the Trust should speak to their membership sooner rather than later to find out what they want? This survey may help but the sheer noise around at the minute would suggest an awful lot of people even if not the majority want some sort of change?

Being sat at the top table doesn’t mean you have any influence it just means you get served quicker

Nothing would change then.

B Teams, SLO, lack of club action on bragate points to v little/no influence on the GTFC board. It’s not the fault of the Trust but they do need to act.


Up The Mariners!

I'd still rather have someone on the inside than on the outside. Once the position is given up it could be too late if the club do start negotiating with a dodgy buyer.


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.
