I don't think it is a case of people necessarily being anti trust, just because they don't support them. Likewise there is no need to run down other supporters outlets with comments like semi redundant bus club or your comment about the social media sites. I also don't think people outside of the trust support the owners, I agree the owners are in it to make a profit and tbh I would like to see them gone, but running down other supporters organisations isn't the right way to go. How many members do the trust have? just done a quick check on the hotelenders - 2900 members, shoe army 1000 members, granted these aren't all active but then neither are the trust members. All I was pointing out was that not everyone who supports NTFC has to support the trust.
I wonder how many "members" Hotelenders or Shoe Army would have if people had to pay to join? Not comparing like with like when talking about numbers of Facebook group members vs Trust members.....the majority of whom are life members and paid £50 each to be so.
