but they're not turning him down as such, they just want a pre forum meeting to make sure their aren't any issues.
People are quick to try and criticise supporters groups when they do stuff that is amateur or ill thought out so the trust should be commended for putting a bit of fore though in and trying to ensure there aren't any incidents.

Get the point - but wasn't this the same Trust that criticised Chris Anderson for wanting to do some 'prep work' in regards to requesting info in writing prior to any discussion on Academy.
So what's good for the goose is not apparently good for the gander....
I thought the purpose of an open member's meeting is to discuss members issues - not the SBT Board's view of what they think they might be?
Perhaps both sides can publicly post on the SBT site and the members can then see what the "issues "are
but I think in this case the issue is more to do with personal safety rather than trying to set the agenda, it only takes one idiot and if something happens at an event organised by the trust they'll never live it down.
I don't know, I don't know what their concerns are, but with such an emotive issue it just seems sensible to me to put a bit of planning in.How is the trust board meeting with Fisher going to prevent it if it isn't him insisting on it though? Why would Fisher need to tell the trust board stuff to satisfy them before it goes ahead?
Surely people there would have enough respect for the trust, moz, cj and the rest of the board to not show them up? Doesn't matter how much they hate him and SISU.

if there is another agenda to this pre forum meeting than that's a different issue. Do you know that there is or are you reading between the lines? That quote would suggest there's something else.It's a newsletter to trust members saying "look, you are here as trust members, we don't want any trouble as it just discredits anything that we have ever done or do".
It doesn't need a full on security plan like he is Obama.
The bit about the trust being satisfied with what they are told is more telling.

If what we hear at that private meeting is satisfactory and the issue I stated above is resolved then I don't have a problem with it
I don't see any need for a pre-meeting re security. If Fisher agrees to come then he clearly isn't concerned.
As others have said he's not hard to find if someone wanted to have a go.
The more I think about it the more I actually find it pretty insulting that the trust don't believe our fans can be relied on not to be violent at a meeting like this.
Yes, and I'm sure if they hadn't considered it, and something did happen, you would be the first on here criticising them
I would certainly criticise the person who did something and if the trust had done something to provoke the situation I'd also criticise them but I happen to believe that supporters can manage to go to a meeting without starting a fight.Yes, and I'm sure if they hadn't considered it, and something did happen, you would be the first on here criticising them
What checks were made when the chap from Wasps attended or for Simon Gilberts appearance. If we're talking about random pissed up nutters it could happen at any meeting.Safety would be considered for any open meeting surely anyway?
Quick update. Simon will have copies of his book for sale and is donating 10% of all sales on the night to the Jimmy Hill Legacy Fund out of his own pocket. For anyone that wants to attend please register here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/sky-blue-trust-open-meeting-tickets-29082773358?ref=ebtnebregn
So now the Trust meeting is to be a promotional event for a guy selling a story that isn't even his.
No. It's an event when a local journo that has knowledge on many relevant subjects and on the club he supports can answer questions. If you're that bothered about it please feel free to come along and pass on your opinion. If you can't make it email me and I'll do it for you.

Easy - organsie an open meeting, invite Fisher, ask him questions- some prepared, others from audience. Call the meeting Question Time (clue - the BBC use this format).
Nick - make sure you attend. Then you can't be accused of sniping from the sidelines.
Yes would you attend ....any meeting nick
Haha, fucking hell.Quick update. Simon will have copies of his book for sale and is donating 10% of all sales on the night to the Jimmy Hill Legacy Fund out of his own pocket.

As a small aside, I assume the Royal Warwicks Club has different owners and different meetings nowadays, so the boycott is no longer in place?!?

What a shocking developmentSimon will have copies of his book for sale
If the posts of here are anything to go by its a bit light on the fact checking as well.So now the Trust meeting is to be a promotional event for a guy selling a story that isn't even his.
Wasn't going to come back on but somebody told me you mentioned me again. I'm not going to the meeting with Gilbert and I wouldnt go to a meeting with Fisher. I've had enough of all this crap and going to anymore of these meetings would just make things worse so I've decided to just ignore them. No more marches no more demos just going to the matches from now on. Just a few questions, these protest groups where have you been for the last few years? Same question about all these new members on here? To all the people on here who keep saying we should get behind the team why don't you try it? How were you getting behind the team on Tuesday? Murmuring is not a valid answer.It's a newsletter to trust members saying "look, you are here as trust members, we don't want any trouble as it just discredits anything that we have ever done or do". What have they done in the past at open meetings? Surely they would have thought about things like that before?
It doesn't need a full on security plan like he is Obama.
I think it's actually insulting to the trust, as I can't see anything happening. I can't see people like LAST, BHSB etc letting it happen. (No matter what secret thoughts they have).
The bit about the trust being satisfied with what they are told is more telling.
