Some well known and well respected new (and returning) names in there, there’s clearly an appetite to work with the new owners so fair play. Candidate statements here - http://www.marinerstrust.co.uk.....d-Statements3273.pdf Polls now open for all paid up members - https://forum.thefishy.co.uk/Blah.pl?m-1614027905/s-new/ New members eligible to vote as long as you join up before 28th Feb (this Sunday coming).

Always good to have variety and choice and whilst there’s a couple on the list I’ve not heard of or seen before, the list is well stocked with well read and forward thinking folk who care about GTFC and the supporters... 'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza Logged Offline 7 1 0 Reply: 1 - 47 realist February 23, 2021, 8:36am Table Wine Drinker Posts: 629 Posts Per Day: 0.15 Reputation: 40.87% Rep Score: +5 / -16 Approval: -1,822 Gold Stars: 7 Get rid of Rutter and things will improve.

I can’t think of a better reason not to vote for him.

Read his 900 words of waffle. Harsh that. Alan Rutter has worked incredibly hard for the club. He's a good bloke and doesn't deserve your words IMO.

That’s not with this situation in mind but any where there is an election taking place. A real strong and varied candidate field this year for sure.
