The Trust have published the minutes from the latest meetings. Have they forgotten about the survey that they put out?

Some concerning noises about support for the Checkatrade Trophy.

Also I’m not sure why they’ve never publically addressed the comments Bax made or why they weren’t discussed and minuted.

"DR raised the question that has come from the club whether we can support the Checkatrade trophy next season. The board discuss the pros and cons but remain very split in our personal opinions. It is thought that the new manager may be able to add a more positive spin. No real decision made,could be discussed again next meeting"

So is the Trust there to represent the views of supporters or the views of the board members? Clearly supporters aren't 'split' on this.

A step in the right direction to publish minutes though I suspect it's far too transparent for JF's liking. The only other thing that caught my attention was in relation to the open day.

"Charity stalls discussed as club have restricted these. The majority of the board agree that as a community trust, we should be supporting local
causes."

Whilst Mr Rutter is in the chair the Trust will not be getting my support I am afraid.
I expect to see more and more the Trust toeing the party line. Checkatwat trophy for now. Let’s see if the boycott of Stevenage still gets led by the Trust.


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'

hm with meetings you know how time just flies past at the end of the day they are all volunteers who give up a lot of there free time and reading through the minutes they had a lot of stuff to cover.
Regarding the checkatrade I think the Club have done right to ask for some support,personally I don't agree with the format and unless something changes I will continue to stay away but I have no problem with fans choosing to attend.I think the fans of GTFC like many others have made their point past 2 Season`s to Shaun Harvey.Now attend don`t attend but lets not use it as a stick to beat the Club with they have to enter this Competition and it`s one of 4 they can win before a ball is kicked and the most likely.

Yep, no doubt the likes of Rudrum, Rutter are in the pro-Checkatrade camp. Fenty cronies on the Trust board to ensure they toe the line. As mentioned if 90%+ of supporters are against it then why is the stance of the Trust even up for discussion?

I think that when the wimps won it they ended up with a lot of money from it. Well over 100 grand. It was over 30 grand to go through the group stages.

Can we afford to turn that amount down to spite our noses?

May be a coincidence and a popular 'Grimsby' surname - but the Rutter you refer to, its not your ex Football Liaison officer is it?

Hi Guys - This needs putting into context before it gets out of hand. I was the only one of the board who attended a game in this competition last season which is not to say I agree with the format but did so because of my interest in the YDA and the younger pros. That was really the point of the discussion in that we don't yet know what MJ's approach will be and if it is to use it for the younger pro's/fringe players then I for one may well go to a game. At the end of the day it is about personal choice.
  
  Re the rest of the minutes we have had a good meeting with SD about the survey and will be having a follow up meeting with them and the club early July (earliest date due to hols)

We have also had a good meeting with some supporters who have put forward some good ideas and we are taking some of those to the club this week.

Lots going and people are doing their best.
