Indeed Martin. I think that, over the last few years, TUST have viewed themselves as critical friends and were not keen on ownership/majority shareholders. I'm thinking that their position may have to change

Just a couple of things. The TUST (to an extent) did 'swallow their pride' around 6 years ago and reach out to the Trust. Myself, Nick Hawker, Elaine Davis and Pete Martin (all serving trustees at the time) went to a TUST EGM when they started to feel that Mr Osbournes intentions were not quite...

It is a tad 'ranty' and not correct. TUST tried, tried and tried again to open a dialogue with Osbourne but he just ignored them. I would think that CO's refusal to engage in conversation being made public knowledge probably angered him. It's also worth noting that the TUST had matchday...

I don't think there was any booing of JS at games, obviously you get a rather audible collective groan going round when there is a misplaced pace or bad miss. That said, some things I've seen on social media have been pretty unkind. I would think that players are probably told not to be like...

Isn't there a saying "sometimes you have to win ugly"

There are two separate 'parts' to the monthly Trust Board meetings. It was agreed, some years ago, that Part B (the confidential items) would be discussed first at 6pm and then members are invited to join Part A that is scheduled to start at 7.30pm. The 4 elected trustees you mention (I'm...

Same four just in a different order

Results in. As you were...ish

Thanks for your confidence, I would prefer 'if' I get elected. Both your points revolve around things I like your confidence, I would say 'if' I get elected. So .....Comms and Covers. Currently I would suggest the comment 'dragging it out' applies to both.

I had the 'absolute pleasure' of hosting Mr Huxtable in the boardroom a couple of months ago. Now retired from active refereeing, he is an assessor for other referees. I can't really say anything on that.

No, candidates have been asked to meet at 12.15

It's also who the new manager up there does/doesn't fancy and how he wants to set up. He's been in the job less than a fortnight so he's probably not made decisions yet.

It is a must win against a team that just stayed up last season on 46 points. Bare minimum is 20 more points..from where? Obviously we target the teams around us

I did email the Trust Secretary asking questions on the meeting that I and two other candidates left part way through...I've not had a reply. If I am re-re elected I will ask those questions in person. I would agree that there is a point to be made on the cost and its worth noting that the...
