Psgmariner, we must have equality nowadays so how about topless bar men.


Does it pay well? 🤔

Quoted from Davec
The trust are a shambles, they have no influence at all, the chair is a big supporter of Fenty and is very pro checkatrade trophy, he's always at fans forums sucking up to Fenty and the Checkatrade trophy, other board members are too cosy to Fenty also such as Terry Rudrum and it's been mentioned previously the trust representative who's on the board (his name escapes me at the minute) is too cosy with Fenty probably a few others also. This makes the support of the checkatrade no surprise, they will back B team involvement also with Rutter in charge.

The minutes are terrible, in my opinion minutes should detail what was said by who and just briefly touch on what was discussed. And as usual they skirted around and avoided certain topics.

I notice that Rutter would like a vice chair and Ian Townsend (Barralad) thought they should recruit externally which I think they should, but everybody else disagreed and said no, probably so they can find somebody else to suck up to Fenty


Too much "getting cosy" and "sucking up" in this post for my liking.

Just demonstrates that the Trust is a self interest group that does nothing to ascertain the wishes and feelings of those they purport to represent. Just where do they get their mandate from?


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

At this moment in time I wouldn't like to voice my thoughts on that one  


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'

You know what the answer is, join and offer to join the Trust board.  You stand a better chance of changing things from within than from the outside.

Or let nature take its course and let the Trust die a natural death. Too much water under the bridge and bad decisions after bad decisions. As nice and sentimental that it is that people give up their time etc it not longer serves a purpose and has just become another arm of JF.


Up The Mariners!

I think the trust needs to think about what it wants to achieve.  
Social media tells the Club what the supporters views are, and they are wide and varied.  This is the trouble, everybody has their own opinion and wishes as to how the trust proceed.
If it ( the trust) tries to compromise and encompass everyone's opinions it is seen as weak and wishy washy by all.  If it goes one way or the other, half the membership feels disenfranchised.  It needs to keep open channels of communication with the Club, and as we all know, if we rock the clubs boat, these channels are very quickly severed.
The Trust is in an insidious situation, They are damned if they do and damned if they don't.  The days of the old supporters club are long gone.
I don't know what the answer is, but I do feel we are better off with it than without it.

What happens to the almost 15% of club shares they the Trust owns then, once it “dies a natural death”? Bought by Fenty? Given away? How is that in the interest of the fans?
