Will the board members bare knuckle fight for the seat on the ccfc board?
SBT need to be very careful with this. The angry reactions to fairly justifiable questions about elitism etc will only further entrench people's positions.
Only certain members of the trust getting privileged meetings/information with no chance for "normal" members to suggest questions or comments, coming on here with "we will notify you in due course" refusing to actually give any detail about Haskells plans when asked outright in both this and the GMK thread give off the impression that the SBT board see themselves in an ivory tower.
Not everyone can make a weeknight meeting in a pub (and when you do they are monopolised by the same small contingent) not everyone is a confident social speaker who can argue their point well in a pub setting, where is the outreach to the average fan? I've been a member since the Pompey home game and haven't been asked once what my views on any of the major topics are, yet the trust keeps on putting out statements on my behalf.
Of course the standard answer will be "be more active, come to meetings" but lets be honest, its the 21st century, if you wanted to open up a dialogue with members you could. Yet you refuse to in favour of making the board members feel special.
I hope to god the trust thrives and that's why I joined, but if someone doesn't take this PR thing on head on you'll be back to selling shit tables online in no time.

Really? I don't recall anybody saying that on here? You been taking the yellow pills instead of the blue ones again?
Shame the Trust could really do with your poundAtleast you know what the major topics are.... I am undecided about joining the trust and need more information before I make a decision... I'm not interested in what the 4 the itinerary is... I need to know what the trusts aims and objectives are... And how they will go about accomplishing their aims and objectives

The aim is to get a seat on the board..
Nick
What's aggressive about any replies?
The aim of the Trust has nothing to do with any place on any board.
The concept of a supporter on the board was not suggested or asked for by the Trust.
The person or persons who represent any fans may not be a TRust member, they suggested "supporter representation".
I give up, don't need this hassle.
Still no mention of this grand plan that was put forward by the new tycoon to the much lauded SBT. Transparency at its finest! If the trust get any kind of board place or involvement in the running of the club thats me done. I disagree with the manner they conduct themselves in when challenged on subjects, how they are quick to tell everybody about their new information then decline to tell anybody and the clincher was the Late KickOff show which was beyond cringeworthy.
In my opinion you are a great voice for the trust
And if Colin wants to make the Tea or Coffee then he's always welcome to do so typical response we expect from this website (should be called claretandbluetalk)

So when you say "we" do you mean the trust? So people who don't agree with the trust aren't city fans?
I thought everyone was entitled to their opinions Nick? And no one I know in the Trust thinks those who aren't members aren't Sky Blue supporters. But if you can't take the criticism, don't dish it out!
No offence, but I cringe at the image of PH4 meeting you people.
Steve I wouldn't take it personally their are some right idiots on here will never be happy what ever happens, but at the same time are not interested in doing anything about it can't make meetings can't get up the game can't be bothered, but take liabilities with others who really care sorry but they should put up or shut up.
I can't always make the Trust meeting due to shift work but when I do go the questions are varied and from anyone who asks so for people who never go to shout that it's the small minority is just idiotic if it is true then they should come along and put their questions forward
And if Colin wants to make the Tea or Coffee then he's always welcome to do so typical response we expect from this website (should be called claretandbluetalk)
If you don't want to be a member that's your prerogative, but to slag off all they do without any evidence or substance is a disgrace.
Everyone is welcome to the meeting they don't check membership as there is nothing to hide
Steve keep up the good work :claping hands::claping hands: don't even bother rising to the morons on this site :facepalm:
So when you say "we" do you mean the trust? So people who don't agree with the trust aren't city fans?
So people who do not join out of blind loyalty are "idiots" ?
That seems an extreme way to treat those who want to know more about the trust and not we "want a seat on the board" !
If they do aquire a seat
In what way do they wish to influence the running of the club?

Just what have you done to find out about the SBT anything or nothing ?
when you have either been to a meeting or checked them out in another way , maybe you will be entitled to a veiw,
otherwise to talk about something you obviously know nothing about
