  1. I've said all I can on most of the key matters at this time, however I just thought it pertinent to reply on a couple of things mentioned in this thread. The statement wasn't prompted at all. I've always said to the Trust directors that I would do my very best to provide a public update once a quarter - if you look back my last one was November. This update was already mostly written before my radio appearance last week, but was rehashed to directly answer some of the main questions which I felt were important to address. Yes of course we should all remain vigilant, and as I've said this is my club so even forgetting my Trust role I certainly do and will continue to do so. Football, business and life is not black and white and some on here and on other spaces are drawing definitive conclusions on the future based on what, in reality, is a snapshot of a particular set of circumstances as they are now. Are things perfect - no, but in the real world when are they? Am I panicking about things with all I know - no. With that in mind I would just say that the more successful the North Stand is on both matchdays and non-matchdays the better for all of us. I'm not asking you to forget about asking questions or keep quiet, all I would say is that our most helpful role right now as fans is to back our team and our manager through the upcoming games and continue to play our part in getting the wins we need to stay in this division this season, even cranking it up a few positive notches. Speaking with Shez he's feeling very confident and that'll do for me.
  2. No that's my version of events as I saw it all happen, and I have since had a conversation with Barry, so just reporting back.
  3. To answer the original question. No such actions happened so let's not let rumours/allegations get in the way of the facts. I've spoken with Barry about it. He was clapping the team off at the end of the game and then indicated to the fans shouting at him that he'd pop straight down to speak to them. That is all. To his credit he went and spoke to the group of fans in question.
  4. Hi all, just wanted to say thank you for all the messages of support I've had from fans over the past couple of days.
  5. We'll have a presence in all 3 stands on matchdays plus will be running some events after games. So hopefully that helps a little. Having taken onboard a lot of feedback (Including from folks on owtb) we took the decision that splitting the chair and board rep role potentially gives more strength (on balance). The chair role has changed focus slightly with the emphasis being on governance and ensuring actions are followed through/trust directors made more accountable. This also leaves the board representative the space to concentrate on their role. Each require specific skill sets so makes sense to get the "best" available people to do the roles (we created job descriptions). Debate either way but on balance we felt it the best route particularly whilst a larger board/activities are bedded in.
  6. The Trust can appoint directors at any point in the year by co-opting, as has been done 6 times in the past 12 months. The deadline is for directors wishing to stand for election (which can only be done at an agm). Co-option may suit some as it means slightly more administrative flexibility (in terms of companies house records) but with no less influence as an elected director.
  7. Just to add the 100 club is almost full / if not full by now
