However, can i ask a couple of questions, what is happening at the next AGM that we can vote on to make a significant difference? Are any of the PTB lad putting themselves forward to join the trust board. I'm already a member of the trust and have been for years but I've never able to influence anything they do. Trust rules prevent them from being active on social media with fans without having first gained approval from the board. As a result everything happens too slowly. I've asked several times for an update regarding the latest club update from the board meeting (2 weeks ago today) still not heard anything. If i tweeted ptb i'm sure i'd have had a answer.

So in effect taking over the trust or working alongside the current board as I thought they had been elected for a minimum period of 2 years last year?

There are vacancies. They need filling. We need them filled with people who are prepared to challenge the status quo. Not more of the same.

Lee Sinnott2 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Is that right that there are only 200 members of the Trust? Membership is free, isn't it...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need a strong voice and the current membership numbers are nowhere near enough to effect change…all who signed the PTB petition need to join the Foundation.

PTB has over 1,000 supporters, 3,000 signed the petition and @BPAS has more listeners every episode. Time for change. Sign up now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Agenda item one for the next Foundation meeting has to be: Why have we only got 200 members and how can that number be made material? If the answer is that it can't be, then it's a busted flush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club doesn't want to listen to anybody it makes no difference how many members each body has. With this massive support just what has PTB and BPAS managed to change so far in the club?

GrahamHughes Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 No joy on getting Mr Blitz to front up,as he’s largely responsible for the ground being owned separately from the football club and thus the start of this sorry saga? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
