The thing to do is to disband the trust because as I’ve put forward it is no longer fit for purpose.
Any members of course should be free to post on here but the trust is obsolete.
A football club trust that no longer wish to have board representation…..
A new way forward is needed.
Anyone who thinks the trust is still fit for purpose given the face that it no longer wishes to have board representation, which is the whole point of its foundation is welcome to debate(or push water uphill) as much as they wish.
Who actually cares what they THINK
The fact is they are about to be superseded by someone who will actually KNOW.
How hard is that to understand.
There is no point having representation on a board which doesn't have meetings and which refuses to share any plans beyond very old pictures of a project they've had six years to complete and not touched.
I sincerely hope the fan rep does KNOW, but we'll see.
A Trust board member would not be independent. It would not be appropriate for one of us to stand, but the Trust will of course try to work with whoever wins the election. We have a website, 12 volunteers, an email address, regular meetings and many ways to feed back and help them with what could be a very lonely job - depending how much they challenge the board, of course.
Unlike a lot of people on here and elsewhere, the Trust doesn't just make things up - David Bower is a lawyer and nothing the Trust has said has been challenged legally. It is just twisted by the club, often with help from a few of the same people, and/or completely avoided.
The Trust has tried very hard to work with the current board but needs something to work towards, not vague words which some fans seem to lap up despite nothing having happened for a long time.
