however................your selection of players to sponsor?????????????????

Appreciate it and before this gets in a mutual appreciation society I'm off to watch "Great British Railway Journeys" that I Sky+ed earlier - that what a sad git I am.

No

The land, the loan, the deal all happened in The UK and will have to be persued by the UK courts. Just because the Bank of Ireland are invloved it has nothing to do with Ireland. They have offices and banks over here and these will operate within UK civil and criminal law.

i have been asked by a few fans to put up for the commitee, got asked a few times the other night at meeting. this situation can never be allowed to happen again. if people want me to nearer the time i will put up for election. i suppose a mixture of different people and viewscould be a good thing.

Right on all counts!

Take care if you do, remember power corrupts

A mixture is whats needed, no good having just one type

on the committee, its needs balance and it won't work without it.

Not voting for you though

the new Arther Scargill

I have some sympathy with that, but it doesn't stop the work that is required to be done and, as someone who has stood up to do this, I feel that a little bit of respect for the hard work wouldn't go a miss.

We do what we do because we think it best for the club. There is nothing I have done to be ashamed of, and the work towards NM etc must continue. The Trust is integral to ensuring that we have a club to take to NM and that we retain as many 'friends in high places' as we can.

I have no doubt that our actions will eventually win through and I would plead with all, sceptics included, to at least allow us the chance to do this - together, as one, even allowing for the varied opinions that we have. True democracy must allow for all to be heard but for the majority to hold sway!

you may not have to, im in negotiations with mopsey about a coilition between our brute force and intellegence parties, mopsey to do all the public speaking cos hes tall and people will see him from behind the table, and me to do all the writing because i can string together a coherant sentence and then eventually corruptly seize power and cream of all the cash.
VOTE MOPSEY will be our campaign slogan cos it has the words vote and mopsey in it so people wont ask many questions,

anybody think there is more to come out yet.

Almost certainly, but we don't know it - yet!

Your the one who claims to know everything please enlighten us.

ok are we up to 2007 accounts yet? will have to look if I have a copy. I did request the latest copy a couple of weeks ago but they have yet to arrive

The bank loan was DEFINTIELY repaid from the first tranche of money. Incompetent as Bank of Scotland may have been shown to be over the last few years, they definitely made sure their loan was repaid before releasing their charge over BV.

Sent you a PM, not about the accounts though

We know what we know, we know what we don't know but we don't know what we don't know.

Miaow, give it a rest, I don't know what sort of crusade you think you're on but you're wide of the mark and it's irritating.

We is the Trust refers to the people who have steered things this far, there are about 14 people involved who are trying to get answers on behalf of the fans.

When the Trust is legally formed there will be a vote, one each per member, to form an Executive Committee.
If you want a say why not put your hat in the ring and say it up front and in the proper manner otherwise you undermine yourself with the silly snipes at people who have put time, effort and money into trying to create something good, useful and needed.

Just to add a bit to the mix, especially to alleviate the concerns of those who seem to have concerns about who comprises the Trust Board.

We held our first AGM of Bullbuilder - The Bradford Rugby League Supporters Society Ltd - this evening. This is OUR Supporters' Trust, and we pretty well adopted the Supporters' Direct "Model Rules" when we set it up early last year. And followed the Supporters' Direct model election policy and rules.

I presume your Trust will adopt pretty well the same rules and policies - you'll have to if Supporters' Direct are to sponsor your registration.

In that case, know that under those Rules EVERY ONE of the initial Board (or "Executive Committee, if you like) HAD to stand down and stand for-election. By the members. One man one vote. First AGM, every one of us. No exceptions.

If you do not like your Board/Executive Committee, all you have to do is to use your vote. And, preferably, put yourself up instead.

Supporters Direct are VERY strong on ensuring democracy is paramount, and a clique cannot hold sway against the members' wishes. Trust me - I speak from experience. Indeed, they are little short of obsessive about it. No, they ARE obsessive about it.

I have just read what "The Clan" wrote above. If your Trust is set up anything like ours, "The Clan" is spot on.

If lets say there are 3000 very keen Trinity fans who attend home matches no matter what, and then another 1000 who sometimes come and watch depending on pre match events, how the team is playing etc. Then it would be fantastic and a reasonable target, IMO, to attract 2000 Trinity fans to join the Trust, Lets say the Trust members vote to set the anual joining fee at say £ 20. That would generate £ 40,000 p.a. That buys a lot of shares if the new company offers shares or it buys several of the very best under 16 players for our academy. Either way the Trust becomes very influential.

is the trust getting rid of squadbuilder and wisca and any other group there is.

The figures you aspire to for potential members is the stuff of cloud-cuckoo-land.

I would guess that you may get between 100 or 200 members.

Bren2k clearly you need to come out of retirement, standards of diction are dropping alarmingly!!!!!!
We is the trust, indeed!!!!

Not really; this has a nice circularity to it, since when TRB said "We is the Trust", he was in fact responding to a question from me, when I asked "who is we?" in response to one of his earlier posts.

The Clan is therefore directly quoting TRB and as such, is not guilty of crimes against grammar; the defence rests your honour.

Meanwhile, all this talk of voting out Trust rep's and the formation of cliques etc seems rather premature, considering it's in response to one poster's over the top comments; to quote the great philosopher Michael Winner - calm down dear!
