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?
First off it’s ‘cutting off your nose to spite your face’. Secondly, taking the cash now as you suggest could lead to a far worse future down the line. I’m not making a stand just because I don’t like Shaun Harvey. I’m making it because I fear it could lead to the demise of clubs like ours. Short term gain may look attractive now. But there is no such thing as a ‘free’ Lunch.

We made 3/4 of a million pound from the competition.

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.
All well and good Dave - and thanks for the feedback by the way - but the general apathy towards the board (GTFC) is driven by the continued aggressive attitude they show to the fans (Checkatrade, forum, Operation Promotion). It would make things a lot more palatable if the GTFC board came out and said something along the lines of 'We understand the fans' thoughts on Checkatrade, we don't really like it either but can we just bury the hatchet and live with it'. Ultimately, fans' boycotts are not going to help the club and it will still be the choice of the individual, but there must be some middle ground with this.

If you do not want to go don't,
Just stop harping on about it,
BUT
Just think what MJ could do with the money Lincoln made from it last season.

Thanks for your reply Should the Trust not be openly against the Trophy as the majority of fans completing the survey were against it? Surely the Trust should take the position of the majority on this. Have the Trust board discussed making a statement on the allegations made about the influence of club directors on communications from the Trust? It seems that these issues raised by Bax were never addressed and the Trust is poorer for it.

Wasn't Bax going to tell us something at the end of the season,
Have I missed it or has Bax not told us yet.?

I certainly was of that opinion over to you Bax.

Yes I also remember Bax saying he would say things after the season has ended, he said it wouldn't be wise to disclose them whilst the season was ongoing.
