Breaking News Trust asked by club to contribute to tour AGAIN

[BLUEBLOOD]

Bloody cheek !!!!

I guess last year was a tester, only Scotland after all

this year Spain

Where next year ?? Florida ???

 

[Rover John]

Tell them to DO ONE.

 

[TrueBlue]

in my opinion I was against us giving the club 5k over this - they have taken the **** one to many times the club with trust funds and I would like all those able to vote to vote NO

 

[LennySUFC]

If they want the trust to contribute shouldn't they have a say in the location of the tour?

 

[fbm]

What's the Trusts purpose then, if not to help the club?

 

[Dave Smiths Love Child]

Very disappointed with the request, would prefer the
Monies to go to a younger player trying to break through, even if it meant part funding their wages.

 

[Shrimper]

If this is true then I wouldn't see a point to go on a tour like this. If the trust has to contribute again then it's clear we don't have the money to do it.

What's wrong with Canvey on Monday Night. :dim:

The trust is not a cash cow to the club - the club sherk their funding in areas because they think they can just raid the fans time and time again!

If it helps the club to prepare better for the season and the Trust have some funds available isn't that the point of having an organisation like the Trust? We know money is tight at the club so any contribution to the cost is going to help.

I agree I thought our Trusts Moto was ''' TO HELP NOT HINDER''
:'(

 

[al222]

why cant they go somewhere cheap!!!! E.g tour of Wales or something not a jolly up in the sun. I SAY NO!

It is but at the same time its not 'Come take the ****' either

A line in the sand needs to be drawn and the club need to take the trust seriously

 

[jamesmut2000]

So no ones going to question the 10k given to the youth team, yet we don't want to support the first team?

 

[james_c]

I don't see the problem like James said 10k to the youth . Also paid for a drum but won't help the first team exactly why I will never give a penny to the trust

Agree, but maybe it wasnt a good idea to go on a tour the club couldnt afford in the first place....

Id rather have another home friendly against a Prem team...

My personal view is that the Trust is there to support the club when they need it, however, I was against making this donation without the sanction of the membership. There had already been discussion about a tour, but nothing definite proposed. On the back of promises made, the Trust agreed to continue the support to the youth team, which, anyone who has heard Ricky Duncan talk, would probably agree has been worthwhile investment.

I believe this request has come about through our new CEO, and that is partly why the membership has been asked to vote - to establish a good working relationship with him.

I'm not going to urge anyone to vote in a particular way, I believe that is down to each individual.

Of course its down to the individual, but my opinion is that there comes a point when you bite the hand that feeds you and the balance of power must be realigned

Of course you have to be careful there that you don't bite too hard and destroy any existing or potentially developing relationships.

Why isn't he so quick to actually get a trust member on the board then?

My view is have the 5k and a trust rep on the board immediately or jog on

I always wondered how we could afford an expensive jolly to Spain. Now it makes sense.
