Re: And the tiff rumbles on...

It is all petty but for me the Robin’s Trust is the loser here. That letter struck me as game playing at the time and Bence’s comments make sense to me. The Robin’s Trust have a role to play in representing supporters. They feel out of their depth participating in running a business. (And to think t...

Re: Update from trust

So in summary, having looked at the detail in this thread, together with Bloxham’s response, if the Trust had been willing to pay 50% of a ‘tiny fraction’ of £20,000, then would the board have agreed to support the review.

If they are so passionate about this point, that seems a decent offer?

Re: Update from trust

What a pickle! I want the Trust to have influence. The Trust having control would take us nowhere. And it’s one thing to have a plan, and another thing to have the both the funding or expertise to deliver it. I’ve taken comfort over the years having the shareholders we do. It’s safe and boring.

Re: Update from trust

This doesn’t reflect well on the Board, but I’m not sure it reflects well on the Trust either. The Trust is a major shareholder and as such, has representation on the Board. If that Board is to be effective, it is not helpful if the Trust write to members each time it doesn’t get what it wants. Equa...

Apologies if this is posted elsewhere, but there have been so many comings and goings that I have struggled to keep up.

Re: New striker

I believe this is not the first striker we have signed from Bedford Town (although I may have my facts wrong). I think we signed John Symonds in around 1995 midway through the season for about £10,000, but my recollection is we cocked up the paperwork and he walked away on a free 6 months later.

It’s the Town that needs to back the club. And the fickle fanbase. I was embarrassed when I watched the AGM feed. The Directors should have cut the whinging fans off at their knees.
