Go for it Pete. The world is small these days, it's easy to co-ordinate things over the internet. Good luck getting it going!Okay, who's going to co-ordinate things over there?

I absolutely am, and no I cannot. I think the escrow suggestion above is the best plan, and as far as I know, the US has a very well established escrow market.Terry, you're an honest upright type. Can you be in charge of all the cash that'll be coming in, which'll be generated by the incentive to give Tisdale a good send-off?
Pete, I think this is probably the most positive post I've seen from you, and fair play for the suggestion. However I really don't think that a kind of reverse blackmail has any chance of success, I don't think you'll get anything like enough support for it to carry any weight, even if the BoS were willing to listen (which I don't believe they would) and personally it wouldn't be a route I'd be willing to support.I'm seeing all the ideas about Tisdale and his future on the 'Tisdale must go' thread, and one thing is becoming apparent. In the absense of any other ideas, it's being suggested that fans show up at the next club meeting and voice there dissaproval. Its also suggested that theres an outside chance that Tisdale might be asked to be in attendance, I'm assuming to explain himself? I suspect the majority want some action over Tisdale remaining now! I know that I do - not wait for a meeting to listen to explanations! I dont want any explanations - its time he went. This might not be the politically correct approach but there are times when protocol has to take a back seat, and I believe that this is one of those times.
Many of the p****d off fans dont belong to the trust, and I'm one of them. I was a founder member of the original trust, but I haven't paid a bean since I felt we weren't getting value for money from Tisdale. What I would suggest to all the non members, and to anybody else who cancelled out of frustration is to publicly pledge to pay a sum of money - say fifty quid, into the trust to rejoin, providing Tisdale is asked to step down. (He might of course refuse!) I would hope that any pledges together with the pledgers name would be taken on here, but some might not want that. I'm not sure how Red Bill kept tally with his petition effort, but I dont believe he posted names. In any event, I'll pledge 50 notes if somebody can come up with a collection and monitoring method. This wouldnt be easy, but I believe it would get media attention, even if it doesnt get off the ground.
I believe Tisdales time is up, and I would have thought many would pay to rejoin the trust if he was guaranteed to leave, or members even pay next years subs early if it means we obtain the objective. What do you think?
