This is why I am waiting until any announcement is made before I make a judgement on whether to join the trust, buy a season ticket for the first time ever etc etc.

Whatever happens, the trust needs to do an awful lot of work to make this takeover work.

Do I think they are capable of doing that right now? Until I see the terms of the takeover, I don't really know. Judging on the way the trust has handle such important issues in the past, I would say no in it's current form. I hope those at the top realise this and will be willing to reform itself rather than close ranks again and just maintain the status quo. If that happens, then it could be a very worrying future for Wycombe Wanderers.

        Consulting 'supporters' would be to include in the decision making process people who were not Trust members and in a sense have opted out of membership. Simply being a fan doesn't entitle you to... more

          Not every decision should be put to members, or supporters, but there are some things that DO need to be discussed before massive changes are made, in their name. The company will have to take a deal ... more

            I think though the use of the word supporter is a shorthand for member of the supporters trust rather than all fans. Without being an expert in the operation of the Trust, the press release that they ... more
