Indeed.

And, save a dozen or so dissenting posters on here and the total lack of interest at the regular public meetings, it would appear that the vast majority of the support base also sees it that way.

Got that wrong.

Its a pointless exercise going along to the meetings as anything is basically ignored once the meeting is over.
Some of the directors were not even voted in as they had no competition so its done and dusted what they feel like doing.
Shaun assured me that they were at fault with a lack of openness and things would change.
Elections took place Rob Sant and Ryan plus Kevin and a few others got elected.

Rob resigns as the majority on the board refused to be more open.

My request regarding the water fiasco again despite promises ignored.

Nothing will ever change. You have to be a certain type to be on the board.

Regulars like Rob and probably most on here wouldn't last a few weeks as its all done and dusted.

Its a closed shop really once you are in.
Hospitality as well. Marvellous

I disagree.

If the majority of the fan base were unhappy with the situation they have had the perfect opportunity to make it known at the meetings and keep making it known till it changes, and make it known at every game if necessary and also canvas opinion and garner support to stand for Trust election. That some were reelected unopposed tells you something doesn't it?
I've been to two meetings since the Trust board was formed and the atmosphere was muted, certainly no sign of an uprising.

Regarding hospitality- you're partial to a bit of it from the egg side - did you pay for it?

100% correct.

What he couldn't give us was what he promised.

Open ness
ps others promised it but renaged.

Not a case of others reneging. He couldn’t give us openness because part of the problem was business sensitive issues he simply wasn’t allowed to discuss with us, so he couldn’t do what he had hoped to do.

Sorry but you are wrong.
Just 1 example Shaun personally promised myself more openness but it never happened.
Unless you spoke to Rob personally on the day he resigned like I did I will stick with what I have written.
It wasn't about business sensitive issues which everybody appreciates cannot be broadcast, but just keeping the membership up to date on everything.

Totally over the top.

Where did mutiny come from.

The fan base put up with it.

Its what it is

Some tidy people have given up over the years.

Muted is probably the correct term, total waste of an evening.

Every question gets ignored regardless.
