Have the Trust ever given financial support to any local football team? No. The Trust have asked the club to provide any old kit for local teams both here and abroad. The Trust have supported the Boundary Blues when there old tracksuits were redundant so they could be given to a local childrens team via the Community Trust. (Money used for this was done so with a donation by me from money I raised) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really wuite certain that there was an announcement at some time that the Trust was supporting a local team. I was wrong about something once, I can't imagine it happening again. Certainly not on this subject. Maybe the announcement was bull:censored: and a spin on the above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your frustration that the trust would not financial support the fans team with fees for hiring pitches a number of years ago and the buying of any kit before old kit from the club was made available for you. The reason we cant sponsor any local team of fans is that if we sponsor one, we would then have to sponsor others or this would not seem fair on other fans who wanted support for their team or organisation.

No, my frustration was with the lies that you told me about it. The club have always been very good with the fans team, which has nothing to do with the Trust. It's been some time since I was actively involved with the fans team, it's more about wanting to get to the truth, as you told me that the reason the team couldn't be supported was that the Trust existed to put money away for a rainy day. I'm actually thinking that it might have been the club who offered support to a local team around the time Failsworth was mooted, it was a while ago.

I'm actually thinking that it might have been the club who offered support to a local team around the time Failsworth was mooted, it was a while ago. No worries, the request was made to the club for old kit after Mark made the request for the fans team to have either its strip bought or fees paid for hiring the pitches. Mark made the request and it was also backed up by someone else from the trust to Alan for any spare strip. I told you the reason as mentioned earlier why the money couldnt be made available, if the trust supported one team it would have to support other wgo asked and the money we had was to support the club.! IIRC Phil was speaking to a family members company about sponsoring the kit and that is when Mark C requested we pay the £600+ pitch fees that were expected for the season. The club have supported a few local clubs with kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
