I still think the club will now see you as an irrelevant bunch of trouble makers rather than a supporters trust for the reasons I’ve already mentioned.
That’s just my opinion but it’ll be interesting to see how much time the club are willing to interact with a supporters trust who didn’t want a place on the board.
They may even make it clear to the fans rep that they are not to interact with the trust once they start their new position.

My opinions don’t matter it’s the clubs that do and it’s up to them how they perceive the trust nowadays.
The trust have no control over that.

The club have all the power in the future relationship if there is to be one.


I think you've described exactly how "the club" (not the club, but the owners) would like the Trust to be perceived.  Why might that be?

If the owners give the "fans rep" any instructions, the role will not be what was publicised because Kelvin Thomas said he wanted them to be independent and challenge the board.  You clearly think the owners could try to exert control in that way, so why on Earth do you think the Trust should have put forward a candidate?  We won't have our independence compromised and we won't be told by anyone who we should and shouldn't interact with. 

The Trust could easily improve how it is perceived by the owners, by becoming a fan club.  KT has pretty much asked for this previously.  He apparently didn't understand that's not what we're here for.  But he may have a short memory because he has history with supporters' groups elsewhere.  Google it.

Owners always have "all the power" in the current model of football in this country, unless they voluntarily relinquish some or all of it.  I disagree with you that adding a supporters' elected representative director to a board comprising KT, DB, MW and JW will make the Trust irrelevant.  Try driving your car with 20% of its wheels.

We won't go away.  If the owners clearly show that they are acting in the best interests of NTFC and its supporters, we will work with them.  If they don't, we can't.  They might not want the Trust, but if they're investing huge amounts of time and energy to try to sideline us, we can't be that irrelevant.
