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.

Quoted from IlkleyMariner
Do the trust have the technology to run a vote amongst their members.
If they were able to go to a board meeting with a report saying xx% of our members have voted in favour of xxxx.
It is their duty to argue the case irrespective of confidentiality agreements.


Should be relatively easy to organise.

The only person I’ve ever heard use the word ‘invidious’ is Simon Jordan on Talksport - I didn’t even know the word existed before then, and I STILL don’t know it’s meaning!

Agree it's hard for exiles, not being able to participate in face-to-face meetings. It depends on more home-based people. Also, ultimately those of who have left, and unlikely to return will die off and our offspring are less likely to continue to be bothered about GTFC and NE Lincs.

But when it comes to a vote, every one counts. I'm still annoyed about the Fenty share gift fiasco, but whatever we think of the leadership (and I do blame them for being 'neutral' on the proposal) they can't be blamed for following what the membership voted for.

Think the trust need to join the 21st century if they are to represent all fans irrespective of where they live.

no they should represent the views of their membership. A paid subscription/membership should have some merit attached to it.

Perhaps they should reflect on the composition of their membership very male pale and stale need to increase diversity of those on it.

Just to be clear I haven't suggested anyone should join the Trust. Infact I'd suggest it was a waste of time and money in the current climate.

I suggested a Trust member should call a vote of no confidence.
