In light of my criticism the other day I must say I’m very pleased with what they’ve had to say in their statement a few mins ago.

The Mariners Trust is well aware of the groundswell of discontent around the recent run of form and the management of Russell Slade and Paul Wilkinson. This sentiment is shared by the majority of fans and members we have spoken to, and indeed the Trust Board.
The Mariners Trust Rep Jon Wood was at the Board Meeting yesterday. After a discussion with me we formed the view that we should represent the views of the fans and Jon articulated their concerns to the rest of the board in the strongest possible terms.
Despite this, after a long debate and taking into account all factors, the rest of the board reached the outcome as detailed in the club's statement.
We now move on, respect the decision, and will do everything possible to help turn around the rest of the season.
With another four or five wins required to guarantee safety, we would urge supporters to get behind the players on the pitch and do their bit to ensure we remain in League 2 for next season”

Not sure it will placate those who feel the Trust is toothless and that their one vote is just outnumbered by those who support the major shareholder

Then people need to complete the survey and give the Trust the mandate to make a change. We are trying, believe us!

Not for me it doesn't , What value does having a trust member on the board have? Lip service imo

I agree, as a critic of how the Trust have operated previously I think it’s fair to give credit where it’s due. It’s a reasonable statement that highlights that the Trust is willing to deliver home truths to the board. At the minute there’s not much more they can do than that.

Don't doubt you are. I hope the survey does give you the mandate to effect change in whatever form and hope the survey results are not so wide ranging that they become muddled. I know I can search and find the answer but is there a closing date for the survey?

The trust will always be outnumbered , but atleast they voted for the vast majority of supporters and didn't tow the party line .

Absolutely no point in being there really, is there? He (Fenty) is just toying with the Trust, to try to placate as many fans as he can. I would come away from the board, re convene and concentrate on finding new investment. I admire all those involved, but you cannot work with Fenty, it is just not possible. He will, with the rest of the board, always call the shots. Much better to walk away, and become a big player in the new board, whenever it is formed.

That’s life though Trust will never have sufficient numbers to form a majority so we have to accept that the representative puts forward the fans feelings and influence other Board members accordingly. Regrettably I think this may become a regular agenda item on forthcoming meetings as I see no light at the end of this particular tunnel
