Trust Chair resigns (Merged)

Quoted from Civvy at last

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

Who ? Steven Hawkins? That's a bit harsh just cos he looks a bit odd and talks funny  

Lighten up for felicitations sake!

haha oh fuckinell.

Aaron I apologise for saying you’ve got big ears, I’m sure they’re lovely.

For all who are cursed with having big ears, may I take this opportunity to apologise to you also for my insensitive comments, I do not believe that your intelligence is inversely proportional to the size of your ear lobes. My comments were crass and uncalled for, and I can do no more than say that I am sorry.

Quite right Ska well put. To all the jug-eared ones out there just don't sit in front of me at Cambridge thats all!

For John Wood's role as Trust rep on the Board to have anything more than a symbolic presence there has to be a mechanism for gauging fans views. The survey will be just one pointer to this end.
Regular meetings, twitter updates, guest articles on the website, sponsored events etc. which are independent of the club but supportive of it.
My reasons for joining recently was to feel that I had a greater connection with other fans as a lone exile and to make a small contribution to improving the 'fan experience'. I do not want to run the club and I sense that The Trust Board don't either.
We can still build on the successes of the Trust if membership increases based on a broad agenda. Membership is unlikely to grow in the current climate if the Trust is perceived to be a mere extension of the Club.
Perhaps a temporary withdrawal from Club Board meetings is in order until  issues of mandate are settled.

A sensible post.

However, I fear that if the board position is given up now we'll never get it back. You heard Fenty's views of the Trust in those recordings?

I find it hard to believe the Trust is still finding it difficult to even decide what it should do other than appoint committee members with impressive sounding titles. Why does it need a survey of members to say what its purpose is, shouldn't it be the other way round? Most organisations state their intended purpose and then try and attract members who agree with them. How can you send out updates when you don't even know why you are here? It's all quite surreal.

Surely a explanation will be given as to why he resigned.

He was the first Chairman of the Trust that actually seemed credible since Chris Parker. The others have been too closely linked to those that run the club.

It takes a big man to say sorry Grant, I'm not calling you fat by the way, big man as in stature.

Let’s hope we don’t get into a debate about people going bald or having small willies too as then I definitely will be in trouble!

How much is it truly worth now though? All decisions put before the board have been decided well before the trust rep is involved and outnumbered in any case with yes men.
Would the Trust have more credibility representing the fans away from the current regime where its stance is barely recognised and some would say affecting its members negatively.
Just asking the questions, not stating my opinion btw.
