“The fact people are cynical about the forum is largely to do with the latest outpourings from Fenty”
I am not sure I get that logic, are you suggesting if JF keeps his trap shut everyone will be happy?
Not sure how he can be blamed for people getting p1ssed off with the same old regurgitated arguments, unfounded attacks and unrealistic solutions on a message board.
Jesus I hope we score tonight 🙏
What I'm saying is if he didn't come on here with aggressive statements like last Friday, and simply answered questions people'd be less cynical about the forum. If he'd simply answered Pete's questions when he invited him to contact him instead of being rude. If he'd spoken up about Bragate when all and sundry were asking the club to say something. If instead of lecturing other people (remember the think 3 times before you post video) he followed his own advice, things might be a lot calmer. So no, I'm not asking him to keep his trap shut. If you want to point out the regurgitated arguments and unfounded attacks go ahead. Unrealistic solutions - well isn't a message board like this for discussing ideas, good bad or indifferent, or can we only discuss those approved by certain people? I too hope we score tonight, but if we win 6-0 it will only paper over the cracks in the relationship between fans and the club.

When GTFC offered the Trust a place on the Board it was a "full" place with all the associated voting rights. I hope that answers your questions. Personally speaking I find our relationship with the office staff to be of more value.
Shouldn't this be other way around? I know you said its your personal opinion but surely the Trust should be getting more value out of the position that cost them all those shares and 30k a year! Otherwise, what's the point?

Are we at cross-purposes here? What more can you legitimately get than full representation, a vote and inclusivity in all decision making?

I was referring to you saying that you find more value in the relationship with the office staff than from the seat on the board. I thought that somewhat strange.

Oh I see. Apologies. It was me who misread it. My opinion is based solely really on the fact that despite my profile on here I'm strictly low level/backroom staff. I see the GTFC Board as having an important role strategically but the day to day stuff is what affects ordinary fans...I'm sure my Trust Board colleagues are more likely to have your view.

So only extraordinary fans are concerned with what goes on in the boardroom?
