Butler stays despite the boo boys.

[Awaywego]

Is he any good as a goalie.

[Awaywego]

Just read the “fan engagement threshold” in football governance bill and then tell me the trust can’t force a relationship upon them.
All club trusts are the only recognised group within the bill and within the FSA they have the rights. (Not to say clubs can’t have engagement with other groups)
Certainly well out the bounds of the Vof that Cass keeps going on about on the Rochdale thread.

[Awaywego]

No! They’re bloody useless, other than the one thing all recognised footy trusts have and had the ability to put a claim in that the ground was a community asset, the thing that stopped Swanny selling the ground on quickly.
Of which they did no chance themselves acquiring the funds but the 6 months grace period allowed the government to step in and help along with a small amount from the club.

[Awaywego]

If that’s the way you want to go Cass by all means go that way, nothing wrong with that group one of them is a friend of mine , but it was set up by the club,a club i don’t trust.
They’ve had a couple of small successes but when it comes to bigger issues I have my doubts that they will be successful, whereas the trust with 2000 members behind them could and should have a different outcome.

[Awaywego]

No difference they have fishy, cod almighty, praise and grumble and the trust.
If you don’t engage you won’t get any say, power you create your own power.
The Scouse power of not spending in the club shop and food outlets was to much for the Liverpool board. Wasn’t easy mind plenty of abuse thrown from both groups happy clappers and protesters.

[Awaywego]

The trust had no part in the ticket allocation, what the trust could do is to try and make sure it doesn’t happen again it’s 3 times now Deerey in a year that’s what the trust could do differently, are you happy with the inaction from them, do you not think it’s not a matter for them.
Certainly cods trust 1 Scunny trust 0.
Liverpool trust and fan groups “Not a penny in the ground” worked and changed Liverpool’s stance on increasing their season tickets by 5% yes a massive 5% not 17% like ours, down to RPI 3% this season and no increase next season.

[Awaywego]

From what I can remember fans have paid to be a member of the trust to represent them with over 2000 fans behind them.
Vof is a club initiative and just a sounding box from fans if they want an initiative bringing up they don’t represent a group in the same sense.
Totally 2 different entities.

[Awaywego]

See Rochdale tickets thread!
Pull your finger out Iron trust.
Nice to see jerry having another pop at the trust, mind you in this case he as a point.

Maybe time for the trust to step up then and make the club deal with the trust,if the club fail to engage publish and say the club won’t engage. Then take it from there. Protests!
The lack of anything from the trust of late, where’s the condemnation of the small 17% minimum season cricket price increase or the ticketing fiasco at Rochdale, like I said on another thread the cod trust are challenging future ticket allocations on behalf of fans. And from ours nothing.
Time again for the trust to pull it’s finger out and represent all fans members of not and start challenging the club.

[Awaywego]

Nice to see Grimsby trust approaching their club over the ticketing for their playoff away game to Salford so they can get things right in the future, why haven’t our trust done the same?

[Awaywego]

Only 4 of them players though Cass, the only contracts that have been signed here are from the 3 wise monkeys, and they signed on the 5th of March, a month and a half of inaction since.

[Awaywego]

Not so much the chant just the hand actions TW.

[Awaywego]

The sustainable level is probably Northern premier league football, maybe even lower.

[Awaywego]

The only volunteers a professional club should be asking for is, in the old days to remove snow from the pitch and in today’s world remove the covers and even then clubs normally give free admission to those who helped.

Rather Millwall than seeing Hulls ” mauled by the tigers” with hand gesture chant, just embarrassing.
Did like their “No one hates you, no one cares” chant though.

[Awaywego]

Indeed even a video on Sufc Facebook page, their name on side of showing them doing the work.
Premier turfing that is.

[Awaywego]

Sufc is not a charity either we’re supposed to be a professional football club not some two bit amateur Dog and duck outfit, what other businesses ask for freebies or want people to work for nothing.

Well we tried but the applicants didn’t realise it was on a voluntary basis.

Yes let’s, then in the next breath let the club shit on fans when dealing with ticketing issues.
3 times alone on that subject the club have been found wanting, it’s just a one way street with them.

And our club flog virtual pitch patches at top dollar more than most other clubs, that’s not like scunny is it lol, and you only get a digital certificate and very little else plus it’s only for one year.

And we need to follow them next season it’s where the money is even more so now.
Much less of a case for 3up now the 100 pointers made it.

[Awaywego]

Rather have Torquay we’re one of their bogey sides.
Hornchurch supposedly up there with the worst grounds, looks better than Gateshead mind.

Hornchurch promoted almost a London club, not on a Tuesday away please.

[Awaywego]

I believe someone said it was announced at the AGM. Would still mean the club would need to fund another £250,000 though.
At that kind of money surely an hybrid pitch like Rochdale would be the better option.

[Awaywego]

Butler tried proving fans wrong last year with him but failed, after 5 league games he conveniently got injured and was never seen again.
Wasn’t even recalled to play in Butler’s 75% effort teams to see if he’d progressed.
Now he didn’t need to offer him a renewed contract, can anyone understand why he did. I just don’t get it myself.

[Awaywego]

Don’t you think he’ll sign Rory Watson?

[Awaywego]

Not for the want of asking, asked Robiron twice, makes you suspicious when only one of the 3 party’s taking money have declared any funding.

It was 2 JLC teams playing, looks like a pay back for them letting us use their 3G pitch for training.
I’ll scratch your back you scratch mine working at its best for both parties especially the young lads for the experience, it’s things like that that go along way.
Still think they’re games till the end of the week to play before pitch renovation.
Still nearly 3 weeks earlier start than last year.
No fest this year, bummer.
