I think you miss the point here - firstly anyone who blames the trust for anything outside their sphere of influence is just being stupid and looking back I really can’t see any such examples - yes there are a few one liners against the trust but again actually not that many - Nigel’s point and I share the frustration is that one can support the overall objectives of the Trust, agree with some but not all of their views and actions (surely the fundamentals of a democratic organisation?) - however if one doesn’t join the chorus of criticism directed towards the owners, one is insulted & patronised by some of the more vitriolic trust members and advisers- these same individuals consistently state there is no dialogue from KT towards the trust - but do they really think their continued action is going to improve that situation? - even the ACV will require a degree of cooperation and while the Trust continue to have some (but certainly not all) individuals who seem more concerned about being right than trying to improve relationships I continue to have concerns. What really hacks me off with these individuals whilst always willing to criticise the owners never offer a positive comment on anything the club does well off the field - and yet they somehow claim the title of being better, wiser supporters than the rest of us.
Peter my line about Global warming ect was a joke that some posters blame the Trust for everything. Where you say "however if one doesn’t join the chorus of criticism directed towards the owners, one is insulted & patronised by some of the more vitriolic trust members and advisers" is really, in my opinion, not true nowadays as the only Trust board member who posts on here is GPC and he is always very polite.
You talk about dialogue with KT and co-operation, well even back in my days on the Trust ,it was made quite clear that there was very little desire to work with the Trust on very much at all. I have some great examples of this but I'm not putting them on here, otherwise I'll be accused of being anti-club, and when you've been a supporter for over 60 years is, obviously, not true.
