Breaking News Trust asked by club to contribute to tour AGAIN

[Mick]

Regardless of the outcome of the vote, the tour is happening.

So what effectively the club is asking for is a donation. It is one thing providing something that the club might otherwise not have and a completely different thing just lobbing money into the club kitty to be used for absolutely anything from re-stocking the Boardroom drinks cabinet to transport to away matches or, indeed, anything the club might wish/need to spend it on.

If you are happy to do that, why stop at the amount being requested? Why not just hand over all your funds? Same principle.

I understand the result was very close and about 50% of the membership will be disappointed.:winking:

my guess is it wont be as much as that!

Naughty.:winking:I'm sure all will be revealed in good time!

A point clearly not lost on Gary Lockett judging by the latest liaison minutes !

Fair enough

Fair enough

In truth I just think they have handled things so poorly

Agreed they do go at things sometimes in a very unprofessional manner - most notably the delayed announcement of this tour AND then asking for the help - personally I don't have anything against providing help - but there is a correct way to go about it!

I think the fans have reacted to it poorly.

Without reading through 13 pages the way I see it is the club was looking for sponsorship for the tour which is normal and approached the trust.

Really not sure why there has been such uproar over it.

I think peoples uproar was more do with the club booking ther tour then asking for the money and not jsut the fact the club asked for it

 

[ldnfatso]

what was the result? Did the trust cough up or did the club wear the cost?

Precisely this, someone else likened it to booking a holiday and then asking someone else to pay for it

If they'd said we really need a holiday but can't afford it can you help then fair enough thats a different issue

I asked this yesterday in the Trust forum and received this reply


"Would appreciate an answer to the question(s) - How did the vote go and if in favour of financially supporting the tour , how much was donated ?"

Ken, sorry for the delay in getting the result out but a couple of us have been away for a few days when the voting closed.
We are just collating the info now and will send an email out to our members and then post the details on SZ hopefully later today.

You had plenty to eat and drink and then produced about £3.40 in shrapnel from your pockets .. either someone paid up (and by this time the rest of the group had fled outside looking for taxis) or i left you to the washing up !!!
