I'v nothing against the trust and applaud them for trying to do what it is they do.
But the one thing that pisses me off, is when they are referred to as the voice of the fans or some crap like that.
Because they don't represent my views and don't speak for me.
And they have never claimed to speak for anybody other that their own members. They can hardly be blamed for what some ignorant radio commentator says, can they
Tis just a quid.
Think the goals are a bit more clearly defined now and they are focusing upon the right things.
Can anyone confirm if there was a meeting between CCFC and the trust tonight and if so is there any news that can be passed along?
The Trust is an established body with some 700+ members who have an interest in representing the supporters of CFFC.
What they say or do is up to them and their members.
I personally applaud their efforts while at the same time find it for the most part irrelevent. Sorry.
You can never represent the supporters as a whole just a fabled few. You can't speak for everyone I'm afraid and what is startling to me is the approach they assume to take. It must be remembered we are all followers and supporters but CCFC is a private business, not a private members club we are all subscribed to.
Like it or not the owners will do as they wish or believe is right for them. So would I, if it was my business. The only thing the Trust can do is help represent opinion of the supporters based on the body of their membership. Much like this forum and others with thousands of members the football club could listen to opinion from.
For the Trust to suggest they get a foothold in the boardroom, effect decision making is not laudable but laughable.
If the membership were to increase to 15 or 20,000 then they may have a case for being heard.
Don't get me wrong if the club listens to you then great but is what you are saying what the rest of us want? I have listened to some of the stuff from their spokesman and I don't think he is qualified enough to represent the greater good, not for me at any rate. It's not my club, it's not your club either. It's a business. The word 'club' is really a misnomer. Do CCFC hand out memberships?
Good luck with all you do as well intentioned as you are but this current mess will get sorted without you.
The point about 'representing fans' is a perennial problem. We've made clear in the new aims leaflet that the Trust represents and gives voice to the views of its members and we keep hammering that point home but journos don't necessarily reflect that.
Re: "For the Trust to suggest they get a foothold in the boardroom, effect decision making is not laudable but laughable" - what about Swansea? They started with 20 blokes in a pub and now have a 20% share of the club, 2 directors, financial stability, are in the prem, have won a trophy. If that's laughable i'd certainly settle for it!

I do take that point on Michael, but I have never once heard a SkyBlue trust representer turn around and correct an interviewer on the radio after being introduced as fans representation or fans vioce.
If they did, then I for one would have a lot more respect for the group.
I'm not against the idea of a supporters trust.
Far from it.
Thinking about joining the trust and I guess your a member? Can you still have a say/put across opinions even if you cannot go to meetings, do a lot of members email suggestions ?
Yes - you can email theskybluetrust@gmail at any time with comments/ideas/suggestions/questions etc. Would be great if you joined!
What is the fighting fund ? When you go to join up it says fighting fund what does it mean ? And what would that money be used for ?
Do you mean pubs, Larry ? :laugh:
But you've just done it again!! :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
You keep saying 'pubes' when you clearly mean 'pubes!'
