I am not aware that there will be any formal Trust meetings scheduled prior to the SGM, so there will not be any opportunity for HJ to attend. Further, from my recollection, it was not connected with the consultation exercise. Just a 'fuzzy feeling' thing that HJ would be invited to address the Trust at some particular unspecified Trust meeting in the future.
Perhaps something was mentioned about conditions placed on HJ, with regard trust benefits, as a result of the Trust gifting shares to HJ?
If not, it seems to me, that the trust want benefits simply provided, but still want to be able to decide how money accrued (presumably due to those benefits) spent in a way that might not align with the person gifting the benefits....
I am pleased however, that it seems it is possible to have a grown up conversation on this.
For those who want me to mention the Carlisle accounts, of course they are no longer in L2 so are no longer relevant. However if people really want openness, then they need HJ to represent L2 at the EFL at the earliest opportunity (assuming he would want to).
So HJ wants the Trust to still give thousands of pounds to his club and to shut up and just do it with no benefits? That’d go down well.
That is the practical difference now that the trust and the club are separated.
However at present, it seems that the trust are still deciding the benefits, and how money is spent, and due to human nature look to personal circumstances, rather than the big picture when deciding.

As far as I can tell, nobody knows, and it seems from the trust's point of view, nobody wants to invite him to discuss his plans.
It could be that change could help the club, help fans, and raise more cash, but we don't know, and it seems we don't particularly want to know at present.

What is the £ cost of providing priority to buy match tickets?
I will do this very slowly to help as you are clearly among the hard of thinking.
I asked and I quote "What is the £ cost of providing priority to buy match tickets?"
That is a simple question about providing priority, not about actually selling the tickets themselves. It is just about the club saying, this group of people have priority.
You have blathered on about who would pay costs and about the cost of actually selling tickets. While ignoring the point questioned
None of what you have written is relevant to actually answering that simple question.
You then complain when I repeat the question because you have answered the opposite. Saying that I am asking the opposite of what you answered. Well yes of course I am because you answered the opposite to the question asked.
Then you ask me the opposite question.
If I wanted to discuss the cost of actually selling tickets, I would have asked that question in the first place.
Which I doubt you can work out that I didn't.

Ask rncfc.... To me there would be no cost until point of sale, and then those in charge have admin costs and priority decisions to make, that fans object to. That's probably called an effect rather than cost, but it is real to those who feel wronged by others having greater priority, especially when it is a club v trust issue......
I will do this very slowly to help as you are clearly among the hard of thinking.
I asked and I quote "What is the £ cost of providing priority to buy match tickets?"
That is a simple question about providing priority, not about actually selling the tickets themselves. It is just about the club saying, this group of people have priority.
You have blathered on about who would pay costs and about the cost of actually selling tickets. While ignoring the point questioned
None of what you have written is relevant to actually answering that simple question.
You then complain when I repeat the question because you have answered the opposite. Saying that I am asking the opposite of what you answered. Well yes of course I am because you answered the opposite to the question asked.
Then you ask me the opposite question.
If I wanted to discuss the cost of actually selling tickets, I would have asked that question in the first place.
Which I doubt you can work out that I didn't.
What is the cost to the club, can you answer? or are we going to get the usual?

As you say, I have already said, the £ cost of providing priority to buy match tickets is ZERO.
If you do answer, try not to show that you don't understand the question let alone the answer. It is getting very tiresome.
Re: THE TRUST'S CONSULTATION PROCESS
28Right so you believe there is no cost to the club, its ZERO. So why do RP employ ticket booth and admin staff? Why do RP employ anyone? Surely there is no requirement as the cost to the club is ZERO......Amberexile wrote: February 15th, 2024, 9:05 pmI don't think you understand the question.

It is the added complexity that is the real cost, if priority tickets didn't exist, there wouldn't be problems at point of sale, like there were no problems
with Wrexham tickets for a larger gate.........
The fact is that the priority tickets were put in place by the Trust, but they are not now in a position to deliver without the express consent of the club, and no one wants to listen to what the club thinks.
I understand from someone who went to the last meeting that although the trust would like to do lots of things, it is restricted by no one coming forward to put themselves forward. So 4 people with full time jobs are trying to manage everything, and have had enough.

If 4 people have had enough of managing everything, perhaps they should have taken up offers of help when they were given. It is a bit late for them to be moaning now.

Ticketline used to have an office at the bottom of Westgate Street selling tickets for big events. They don't now, because it is all online.
HJ could suggest that Newport County can save the cost of ticket and admin staff, by ticket sales being online only. How much would that save in relation to trust donations? Of course the transactions would need to be less complicated.............
