Come on guys (and gals).

Time is running out.

Put yourselves forward, help the fans to have a voice regarding how OUR club is run.

The interim board always intended to be just that - we've got it started but we would like some fresh faces and ideas.

I think todays events and what is likely to happen in the next couple of days is the best marketing push the supporters trust could get. We need a voice and by the sounds of it a bloody loud one. Sign up people. My application is going in the post shortly.

If the trust had 2500 members maybe, just maybe its voice would have listened to but it seems we don't need a united voice at this club, or so i'm told.


Good man.

It is difficult for people to put themselves forward if they don't know who else are members of the trust.

If you mean putting up for election then its best that the committee don't know each other to start with, that way its not a mates club and it would help with different ideas to take the trust forward.

Go on you know you want to

Don't understand where your'e coming from. Why do you need to know who are members of the Trust to stand for the Board.

You have to be a member to stand and if you are thinking of the Interim Board then all members of that Board are standing down and the Board will be a new Board of a maximum of 12 members, 10 being elected by members and up to 2 being co-opted if the new Board wish in accordance with the Rules.

That's the trouble, people will not want to do it and the usual suspects will end up giving even more to the club and for what, to be sniped at constantly, I would never have any involvement with the club again after the stick I got before even though it cost me a small fortune at the time. I'm guessing the board will be the 2 phils and sue. I wouldn't blame anyone for not being involved and wish all the luck to the ones brave enough to do so.

How does one go about getting people to 'second' their nomination if they don't know anyone else who's a member?

Rhetorical question of course...

1 Phil and Sue are part of it but both will probably stand down to allow a fairly elected board.

I'll do it, you are in, you start monday and good luck.

Nothing connected to this club can ever be simple can it! (Well it can, but won't turn out that way.) I hope the board is full of completely new blood, no connections to the past.

If you wish to stand I'm sure we can find a proposer and seconder.

I hope the board is the best that it can be with the best people - old and new - but where are the new ones?

They will never come Phil I'm afraid, too easy to sit back and let others do it, you are a saint in my book for the crap you have taken and yet still volunteer for everything going, for me you should have been Clubman of the year every year since I can remember including 2004.

I think some people are being a bit hard on themselves and their colleagues.

Although most of the acting board on the trust are known on here, there are a few who have no previous form at all. The committee is made of intelligent, articulate and professional people who have done a sterling job in getting to this point. From here, and following the elections, the Trust will have a mandate to start to get involved a little bit deeper on behalf of the fans, and that could be interesting. On that basis, if the current incumbents were to be the ones in position, then I for one would be very happy.

For my part, I will continue with swag and liaising with the Trust, but I am keeping options open as to the Trust itself. One thing for sure, whether people realise it now or not, this MUST NOT FAIL. If only we'd started one year earlier!

Come on guys, put your money where your mouth is and get your nominations in.

Fresh faces and ideas are always welcome.

Fraid I haven't the time to get involved with something like this due to full time job and family commitments. Joined the trust at the first meeting and have faith in the people on the committee as it stands.

I'll third that, and not just because you recommended a good pub tonight.
