Mariners Trust Open Evening

Quoted from Civvy at last

But surely we’ve gained 20 minutes by losing the PowerPoint presentation Russel Slade. 🤔

And at least 20 points

Quoted from headingly_mariner

Is it that easy to look forward when so many questions from the past are left unanswered. Both the trust and the board haven’t answered the big questions asked of them in the last few years.

Last year’s Fans Forum was a horror show and lots of the same questions still remain.

It depends how much you want to look forward. I dont disagree with your sentiments at all. Last years Forum  nearly made me wash my hands with the club. All I ask is that we dont spend all the time this evening trying to get answers for the past when we could use it to dstermine our path for the with a squad and management team developing nicely and some decent soundbites about off the pitch as well. I do accept that some will still want there pound of flesh and many questions answering but to me its a waste now.

It will be interesting to hear the answers from JF tonight. Bear in mind he doesn't always speak the truth and quite willing to blame others for his own shortcomings or mistakes. "Fan's fault that Hurst left" came out of his lips only a year ago, yet it wasn't the truth. Listen to what Hurst said in the link below from 40 minutes onwards..

We can all be excited about how we are developing on the pitch, but that's all on Jolley's shoulders and ambitious managers get poached up to higher levels in the pyramid. If Jolley went in the summer, god forbid, what would we be left with? It's a scary thought, but our foundations are very thin and precarious.

A decent run of results and pretty pictures of a new stadium down Freemo coupled with yet again the willingness of the fanbase to offer so much goodwill to JF should not prevent JF from getting grilled regarding the future of the club off the pitch. Whatever Jolley is building, it's not going to be here forever and tonight is the chance for fans to press JF forensically about his off field vision for the club, backed up by a workable plan of action and how he's going to achieve it, and it's JF's duty to provide the fans with open and honest answers.. fingers crossed..

What’s the bets getting ‘pilloried’ will be brought up again. Why do I get the impression that tonight is about him and his desire to claim credit for the feel good factor returning!!

That is an easy one to answer before the event even starts. He hasn't got a vision for the club. He has never had a vision for the club and he never will have a vision for the club.

If Jolley is poached we will back to square one.

Probably square minus one because he will take players with him.

Quoted from barralad

For an event which has had a right panning on social media we have had absolutely masses of questions. It is therefore unlikely over a two hour period people asking multiple questions will get them all heard. The event is all about the future of GTFC so from a purely personal point of view as someone who will be attending I hope the focus is on what is to come-not on what has gone before.

Judge people on their actions. The best guide to that is what they've done. Obviously if they start changing what they do then you can re-appraise them. But they've got to change first.

Anyone got any info on how it went tonight ?

Anyone got any info on how it went tonight ?

Went very well. Informative and laid back. Nothing like the fans forum previously. 85 people in attendance. I believe it will be shown on the GTFC you tube channel tomorrow.
