so will the supporters rally to the trust?? stay away fans? — True blue, Tue May 15 20:08

will those who have been in exile in protest actually return and will we see a lift in the gates next season? or is it all mouth from certain people?

        It would be far better to make a clean break now. After all, you have twice publicly asked Ivor Beeks to resign yourself.

        There are a number of issue regarding structure, influence and effectiveness which need to be discussed and agreed in the next 12-36 months once any takeover has been agreed.

    This seems the reality to me, hopefully I'm wrong. It's a nice idea that the fans could potentially run the club, but it shouldn't be the expense of not having the financial power to take it forward.
  - - Do you not think the Trust might have asked — Tory Goon, Tue May 15 21:03
      
      The same questions? And unlike you they've been asking the question for months/years rather than hours/days?

  Are told, the better. My 2 season tickets, and possibly a box, will be confirmed when I know the details.
