Just ignore the current colour. Just trying to get it a bit better to see. We will get something more appropriate soon.

Ignore the colour. Does it make it better to see the buttons. We can look at colours soon.

Nigel, you know full well that the owners have NEVER had any time for the Trust unless it suited them at the time (for PR or other purposes)

A condition of their takeover was no Trust members on NTFC board (that was a red flag but them waving £11m overrode any concerns)

If you don't agree, please rather than a glib reply why not be better than me and post the evidence and something that is not a lie

Please show me where and when the owners have made ONE concession to the Trust in the 9 years they have been here.

Ask Merry Comrade the same, he has been on Trusts boards over a longer period and well before either myself or JM, ask him what responses he got when asking for something more.

Actually Nigel, you have spoken and written many emails etc to both the council and the club, please tell me about a time that you achieved a change or a concession by either of them

And I assume that your "messages" were very polite and quite supportive

and any evidence you have that the club will complete the stand would be much appreciated too.

Cheers

I was just stating that I would not make a single effort or gesture towards reinvigorating that relationship whilst the current car crash regime reside at the Trust. But I am supremely confident that the relationship with a more conciliatory board in situ, could thrive.

I am a huge advocate of a thriving, productive and inclusive Trust. Unfortunately, I cannot apply any of those words to the current bunch. Anyway, you pop off and ask yer mate for your next answer...

 

I managed to change the colour today. But it looked worse, then wouldn't change back. But after a fiddle I think we are back where we started.

It is absolutely fine on my iPhone and iPad. But is a bit difficult to see the buttons on my laptop. Not sure why that is. But there is a marked difference.

In my opinion when a poster raises 27 basically repetitive posts on the poor display in less than 24 hrs from end of match, some of which in my opinion were of a negative nature. Also there was an inferred criticism of Brady and also from you; and this on a Manager by common consent has done a good job in getting us into the top half of the table. Furthermore some appear to have an personal agenda on the team, Hoskins, the Club as a whole and the Manager. Last nights regrettable defeat proved an ideal opportunity for some to voice their opinion. Of course they are entitled to their opinion we all are, including mine. I watched some of the disastrous results in the now Premier League, the equally disastrous games in our final season in the now Championship and above all the morale sapping tactics of Curle so perhaps I am used to the ups and downs. If you and Carton are not able to recognize 27 messages on the same game so be it.

I suppose the same could be levelled at you Evers regarding excessive posts on the same subject. I have lost count of the amount of supporters that I have seen you (as the self appointed superfan) castigate for not attending a game, with no knowledge at all of their personal circumstances. It would seem that you want to operate under a different status to other posters. Where you are allowed to frequently post what frustrates you, but you don't want to afford others the same opportunity. On the specific subject of this thread, you have submitted an opinion of the game, critical in parts. So let others say what they want, without having to answer to you. Especially when you enter the frankly ridiculous interpretation that they were happy with us losing to our bitter rivals.  

Old men, bitter and twisted...
So much negativity, how do you sleep at night?

Ageist…. What has age got to do with it?

Brough is getting found out far too often now,

Manny had it about Brough right from the start. It's looking more and more like he's dead right.

They were a different class  and we had no answer. McWilliams, Sowerby and even Leonard were poor. For once Guthrie and Sherring were made to look very ordinary. Brady fielded his best midfield and they let themselves and Brady down. The fans were magnificent.  I see the usual suspects are lining up to criticise the team and Brady! Not so long ago you were full of praise for team and Manager. Peterborough have been our bogey team for 65 years only Bowen silenced them with a similar win back in the mid 60’s!

You've just criticised the team. And then me for criticising them 

A lot of knee jerk it seems, mainly because we got a tonking off the team we least wanted it off.

Knee jerk 😂😂😂 So it’s a crime to be pisśed off because you were hammered by the “mighty” Peterborough.

Decent observation Rambo! I get the feeling some are  revelling in the defeat! Just the usual suspects!

Shut up, for once.

It looks ok to me. I know that is of zero use to you Marvo. But… What can I/we say.

My impression of the game, and us.

We started the second half, with the side we should have started the game with.

We are streets behind the better sides in this league. Fűcking streets.

Arh yes, the original post was just for me.

Never said it was. It’s just how bitchy you always get, under any username…

Isn't it the case that if there is a change of board, and those that want should know what to do they just need to try a bit harder next time, there will be no need to 'work tirelessly' because the club will have got what they want and will simply re engage with the 'new' Trust if only as a PR exercise.
Work tirelessly lol, you lot haven't got big egos at all have you 

I always know when I’ve pisśed you off….

I met Alastair Slowe and Kevin Thornton out in town once upon a time.
Ali Slowe was telling me that he was due to be called up to the team and the only reason it didn't happen was because Sammo got fired. He was genuinely convinced that was the only reason he wasn't a regular starter. At the same time, Kev T was stumbling around p1ssed as a fart and starting fights with anyone in the vicinity.

This thread kind of reminds me of that night.

Watching Duston Cobbler trying to convince everyone to the reputability and relevance of the Trust is as uncomfortable as Alisatair Slowe trying to convince me he was a footballer. In the background, other trust sympathisers are flailing their arms and yelling at people to either get some attention, or because they have no idea what's going on.

Meanwhile the rest of the pub is either trying to reason with a deluded fool and a mad man, or just looking away in embarrassment.

You’ve still got it mate 

hello   - is this still spare?   i am very keen for one  (had to re-register here as forgot my log in from years ago)

It's yours

I have one adult ticket going spare for this.

This has gone

To be honest this is what happens in most "volunteer" committes - it is alway the few that lead the politics, always someone wanting to wield power, resistant to change and to dissenting opinions and heaven forbid new ideas. These individuals are usually the most articulate, certainly not stupid and generally good with using facts to endorse their arguments - unfortunately those facts are alway in a vacuum and the bigger picture is not allowed to get a look in.

As I said, a situation by no means limited to the Trust and if people learned to genuinely leave their egos outside the room so much better use of their undoubted ability and passion would happen.

There is a sizeable group, myself included, who will happily work tirelessly to push re-engagement between the Trust and the club. But none of us will do so until there is a change in the current regime. We absolutely need a functioning, inclusive and open Trust involved in the future. I have every confidence that it will happen, and the support will be better off for it. 

Taking it to the absurd, how many of your convos will be minuted the evening this Tom led initiative takes place?

Here's a selection of answers. Feel free to choose one.

This has been answered repeatedly

I don't know, I'm not chairing it

At the moment, there are a lot of grey areas

It's not down to me

Soon as I know, you'll know

I couldn't give a flying fcuk pal

Come on, now you're being silly.
Conversations minuted? So every time a board member or adviser has  a conversation with a third party the expectation is to have it minuted?

I'm glad Melbourne has opened your eyes.
