You talk some flipping excrement.


Well perhaps you could share the reasons to us, I'm assuming you know if you think I'm chatting excrement.

Nobody on the trust seems to last five minutes. Do we really trust them to run the club if it comes to it? Fenty gets a lot of stick but at least he hangs around.

This is a very valid point and the latest change at the top of the Trust surely shows that they could never run the club even if given the opportunity. Stick to the bars lads it is clearly your limit. When the going gets tough the Trust gets going while Fenty digs in - we'll need that in the Conference

Please don’t be under the impression that I just to justify myself to a jug-eared, bedroom-dwelling oddball like you Aaron.

In your post you’ve made a number of assumptions and statements about individuals and the Trust board collectively based on nothing but the internal workings of your mind. Far be it from me speak on behalf of others, but how have you come to the conclusion the new Trust Chair is “staunch Fenty and probably a Slade fan”?

And let’s for a minute say there were - so what? The point of the Trust is to represent the views of its members, not work according to the allegiances of board members.

Someone in the thread suggested it’s better to try and “influence from the inside” regarding the board seat. Correct - but that works for the Trust itself as an organisation. All I can see is hundreds and hundreds of people lining up to have a dig at volunteers, the majority of whom are in their current positions as a result of others dropping out, without having the stones to put themselves forward.

Clearly the survey results cannot come quickly enough. Once they are in a majority view is formed then and only then can the Trust go forward with whatever mandate they are given.

In the recordings of Fenty he claimed the Trust support of the Checkatrade boycott was totally wrong. Not for me but that statement tells me JF has a complete misunderstanding of the Trusts role.

He sees it as an extension of the club when imo it has to be representing the fans

Well done Ska face on returning 5 years into the past and taking pointless digs at Aaron. If you think that most the posts on this forum stem from anywhere other than the internal workings of the posters mind then you're deluded.

For me they need to -

  • State how long the current chair is expected to be in post - I imagine this is only a temporary situation brought about by Paul Savage resigning, people need know this.
  • Pull the survey closing date forward to 7 days from now. If people want to contribute they more-than-likely have already done so, and if they haven’t then have a coordinated, short term push on promoting it. Fans are currently very engaged in the workings of the club and this is a great opportunity to see what people really want, the Trust shouldn’t let this opportunity peter out.
  • Give a date for the publication of the survey results. It doesn’t need to be all-singing, all-dancing, at this stage a series of small statements detailing the broad messages coming out from the survey will suffice.
  • Use the results as a way to demonstrate ways for people to be actively involved in Trust activities. This doesn’t need to be joining the board, it could be done in a one-off volunteering capacity supported by the Trust, but it’s clear that there are a lot of passionate town fans with a broad range of skills and interests that will benefit the club, the fan base and the community. This, for me, should be the future of the Trust rather than flogging the dead horse that is banging on Fenty’s door and getting ignored.

As someone with prominent ears myself. Could you enlighten me as to how pointing that out this helps your argument?  Does somebody’s physical appearance detract from their mental ability ?
Perhaps you should have a chat with Steven Hawkins regarding that point of view !!

Disgusting individual


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
