Freefall

Was about to mention something along the same lines Bigdog. The communication from the Trust is almost nil. I joined, paid my membership each year, but never really knew what was happening or what they were up to. The survey took an age to appear and it all seems to have been forgotten. I had high hopes for the Trust, but it seems they have been assimilated by the Borg collective.

Quoted from Cloudy

No idea where the £46k comes from. Never seen that mentioned anywhere previously. Who agreed that?

The £30k ( which came from running the clubs bars) was in return for ONE seat on the board although IIRC two candidates were put forward for the club to choose from. They couldn't split them so voted to take both.

I think the Trust need to say in words of one syllable if the survey results stated the fans wanted to withdraw from the club board. If they did then the promised vote amongst members should have been out by now imo

Ah yes, that rings a bell now you mention it.

£46,000 is a tad over a 50% rise. Can someone explain why that is, or is it that £30,000 is a minimum requirement and anything above and beyond that is raised is also 'donated' ? I'd like to know where our money is going and what for.

Quoted from Not again.

They've made their money on the backs of workers on minimum wage doing 60 hour weeks.

Fenty sold his business before the minimum wage came in I think, but I get what you mean.

Quoted from Ipswin

Well if the Trust can't pay (and I don't see Fenty allowing credit somehow) then the majority of Trust members will have their wish granted as the Trust won't have the seat on the board

And the difference will be ?

I joined the Trust this season when Bax was still chair and things went awry very quickly. I bumped into Barra in the Trust Bar and asked if my money had been received. He explained some of the background as to why I had no acknowledgement of my new membership due to some website technicalities but was very guarded in his comments. Barra was also helpful over my concerns about Policing issues.
Two days later Bax resigned and I understood Barra's slight hesitation. He seems a diamond chap trying to do the decent thing by the fans and the club. Rock and a hard place! We have some brilliant fans who devote much of their lives to Town. It is telling that some who have stepped back from the Trust front line seem able to enjoy a relaxing pre match pint in the Trust bar while those still involved have furrowed brows.

I am sorry Bax left the Trust before he had the opportunity to order some more membership cards  

Has anybody ever counted how many people involved with the club have either been sacked or have resigned under Fenty's  reign ?

Apart from managers that were under performing but for other reasons,

Newell, Rob Scott, Hurst,  Bignot Mike Parker, Kristine, Mighty Mariner, Bax to name just a few,

I bet there a good few others that maybe some can remember,

Are you proud of your record Fenty ?

How have we gone from a squad of the likes of dizza pearson etc to a squad of journeyman wage snatchers , it really makes me fume that we are in this state all to our own making.

Its sad sad worrying times here now and one man to blame all down a few hundred quid here and there and that penny pinching looks like costing us our football league place yet again due to stubborness no idea how to bring a club together and overall just awful decisions from top to bottom.

This club should be on the up with being back in the league the sale of bogle for nearly a million quid and the way we all came together for operation promotion which it seems now john fenty says was a nightmare according to someone on here .

Im just devoured of any motivation to attend on a saturday afternoon seeing at least 8 or 9 players stealing a wage in what is one of the worst town teams i have ever seen and look destined for non league football under this man yet again, but its all down to one man and i tell you this i wont give up on my club but maybe john fenty you should give up on yours.

Goodnight  

Quoted from HertsGTFC

I guess the only way forward I could see is that if JF stepped aside and became a "silent partner" and the club appointed an MD. The blocker would be salary as the caliber of person required to sort this mess out would mean the role would dictate 6 figures plus benefits.    

Have thought this for sometime and considering the amount of money we have drunk away on excrement players who can't get in the team and the long list of loanees that aren't played then that money would have been well spent.

Quoted from friskneymariner

And the difference will be ?

Absolutely intercourse all in that the Trusts influence will remain at nil just as it was when they were represented on the board. However those who wanted the Trust to relinquish the seat on the board will be happy (I always thought it was a waste of time anyway and that they were there as a token gesture only) The Trust will probably not run the bars as they won't be allowed to keep the proceeds (which as Bax points out will be much lower anyway) that they were forced to hand over when they sat on the board.

Every one is happy, Trust members get their wish and hopefully the Trust continues under new management (Fenty's pals having either left the Trust or having been voted off) not under the thumb of, or inhibited by  having its hands tied by the Board and Fenty and his mates don't have to pretend anymore and have to make their own tea.

Frankly I think it would be a good thing all round and now Bax and co have resigned its probably the only way to get Fenty's 'yes men' masquerading as Trust reps off the board
