The presentations covered topics that were very revelevant, of the moment, but difficult to answer in a one line Q and A sheet.

Now I'm sure the technology exists for James Rowberry to do his Q and A from Colchester, but he didn't.

And I'm sure if those at the meeting felt your question was worthwhile repeating, it would have been posed for you.

Personally I am happy with the format, as the more people feel they are entitled to ask questions that don't provide an insight, the less interesting it becomes.

Joe mentioned a number of times that he has a table at the marquee on match days. Joe is the trust representative, and that is the channel that should be considered. Frankly if you are unable to attend a match, and unable to discuss your concerns with Joe directly, then I'm not sure that the directors should spend too much valuable time, away from running the club.

Why are you bringing Joe into this? For a start, he is new to the Trust Board, and also, he is not one of the Board of Directors. I think that I'm able to trust Joe more than anyone else at this moment in time. I don't know Joe well enough to criticize him at this time.

Going back to the Trust Board, we know more about them since Joe has been there than any other time. In my opinion.

Just so that you are aware, Joe is one of the Directors of the Supporters Trust. Has been since the early summer.

As mentioned at the Open meeting, members can ask questions by emailing info@ncafctrust.org

For club matters the email contact is office@newport-county.co.uk

Many fans assume that, having bought Community Shares via the Trust to 'buy' the club, they also have a say in how the club and its Boards/Management is done.

I think that has to be clarified now.

Mysterious Directors being appointed on the 'other Boards' appear have nothing to do with the Trust members - and only notified after the event.

I feel the 'club' is in danger of alienating the Trust members in a "thanks for buying Community Shares and for your ongoing monthly subscriptions, now you must leave everything else to us...." way.

Having said that, there is clearly not enough groundswell to make representations to the 'club' via the Trust, to have these things clarified and, if necessary, challenged. The recent Open Meeting was the perfect opportunity to get questions raised IN ADVANCE, but it didn't happen. Again.

To then come on here and shout at the sky is pathetic and to say that the Directors read this unofficial forum so should answer questions/rants on here is frankly absurd.

If you are concerned enough you will make the effort to raise you concerns through the channels of communication, several times if necessary.

If you are concerned enough you will stand for a place on the Trust Board instead of letting the incumbents re-elect themselves because no other candidates stood.

It would be nice to have a full of list of current Directers. Also, how long before each one needs to stand for reelected.

The Director of Football declaring football isn't necessary.

I'm sorry half way through this it's a joke.

I'm waiting to hear about ...land and how we build a future. All I hear is ****** ******* over themselves .

Goodness, I was hoping for some leadership .

But nothing there. Just embarrassment.

What a disgusting series of comments. You should be ashamed of yourself.

OK, Perhaps. But I'm nothing really to do with the club.

The club: After a plethora of considered abuse about Flynny leaving and a child-coach taking over ...agreed to a "meeting' of minds.

'An Open Meeting"

It was nothing of the sort. It was a commercial tweet to the slick haired greasy backcombed ****** that is on the make.

It was an absolute shitshow.

The hardest question....about the lottery.

Nothing about where has the money gone?

About the youth, or land and hope we should buy. Or about the finances.

No, the meeting was taken up with bollox and 3 questions.
