Some of us are hoping for a little more than ammunition for a Twitter fight.
You have to provoke something to get a reaction. If one article somewhere in the nationals prints the statement it’s as good as can be hoped at this stage. The trust are so bad at managing PR they just trip themselves up. Neil is having a nightmare on social media now. Some classic quotes to chuck back

Hear hear!Outstanding work over this last week or 2 Pete.
You've done us proud.

TBF m8, it was entirely predictable and there’s two sides in communication. You sound like a mental Corbynite.
Exactly, would they have mentioned it otherwise?Going for a salty award too?
Thanks to the statement, we’ve finally forced the Trust to acknowledge the indemnity. It’s out there now, we have a voice. Time will tell where it goes from here.

Holy crap - that is something of a turn-around! You've had an impact, Pete!!Probably would’ve kept forgetting because no one ever asked about it...
The simple reason for that is in their constitution!They desperately need new blood as they can't get over sisu, their objective of getting them out overrides everything
Quite... I'm still trying to get an honest answer out of him!
You will just get some spin and they will pretend they don't know.
Same as every time.
He said that spin is a bad form of PR, he has done nothing but that since.
Who was new to the board except him?
How can he pretend he has no idea? "IF" that is true.
It is true, it's on video!
David Johnson who was heavily involved in that has recently joined the Trust board, doesn't really back up his point.

Well done Pete, obviously doing a phone interview with someone you presumably haven't met a bit daunting but you stuck to the facts and didn't take the bait, despite Phil trying to get you to slag the trust off (which would be the sound bite he was looking for). It must have been hard to bite your tongue, given the amount of bizzare, abusive or dissinformative tweets and statements put out by other groups.
It's funny that this place was dissed by the chosen few who the media turn to when anything kicks off over the City. But a thoughtful statment, targetted to the right people, has sent many of those "experts" into a social media frenzy of back tracking. If nothing else, it should wake those people up to the fact the fans are not happy and not stupid.
They scoffed at the numbers, but this is the only real place where a lot of fans have actively been polled, made aware of all sides of the coin, and can actually have a voice towards the discussion. Lets hope this isn't a one off and you are in CWR's phone book next time they want a quote from the "fans" - because of the interactivity, STB can become more representative than the chosen few on the STB.
Good post mate.
Though there was also a sizable poll on Twitter which asked does the trust represent you? (or words to that effect), and the result was a resounding no.
I wish they'd listen more to what's going on outside of their orbit. We don't need a new supporters group (more division) we just need them to do their job.
Despite what people say there are some good people involved (As well as the vocal arseholes often mentioned on here).
Deffo, should help people get their heads round it, especially neutralsI was thinking it might be worth asking Tifo to do a video on it. They’ve done one on our finances before and something this convoluted seems right up their street
What we’re seeing now is the loss of control from the trust - Neil is responding more and looking weaker and weaker.
Has anyone got a link do those who didn’t/can’t listen can replay?Well done Pete, obviously doing a phone interview with someone you presumably haven't met a bit daunting but you stuck to the facts and didn't take the bait, despite Phil trying to get you to slag the trust off (which would be the sound bite he was looking for).
