Call me old fashioned, but if an organisation purports to speak on behalf of the fanbase of a football club then the people running that organisation should, at the very least, y'know, go to some of the home games. How else are they to gauge the thoughts and the mood of the fans they claim to represent? The occasional survey comprised of loaded questions is a pretty poor substitute.
And yes. Happy is perhaps the wrong word, but I understand and accept that owners with no personal affiliation to the club are here for their own personal gain. Why else would they be here?
To jump in, if Random is a Trust board member like I believe he is then he represents me as a Trust member and I am happy for him to do so. At the same time i would not be comfortable for him or any Trust board member to claim to represent the views of fans of the club who are not Trust members, and so far as I can see that's precisely the point Random is also making.
I would add that for any existing Trust members not happy with the actions or direction of the board, they have the option of standing for election to the board themselves as a means of changing that direction or resigning their membership as they see fit.
Regards matchdays, I might be wrong on this but I think Random has recently posted that he lives outside of the UK which whilst not an absolute reason for non attendance but it goes someway to explain this.
If there is any issue here that concerns me it would be Randoms ability to be effective as a Trust board member whilst living overseas.
