Vote NO for contribution to Scotish Tour

[Crabby Shrimper]

I don't think any of recent promotion (or relegation / or doing nothing) seasons had a pre season tour. And I'd rather counter with show the evidence there is a link!

So that's a no then.

Anyway, why should I counter with proof there is a link? I've not claimed there is one.

 

[Holy Joe]

Its not a no - there is some evidence it makes no difference - none of our recent seasons have had a tour - andduring those seasons we've been promoted/relegated and done nothing. Not saying it conclusive evidence and I haven't the time to do more research. I'd say that if there was proof it made a difference all the teams would do it and then if that happened the benefit would disappear and it would then make no difference again!

Actually, didin't we do Bermuda at the start of our Championship year? I'd take all the highs and lows of that season again (apart from relegation!)

we didnt go to bermuda, I went to bermuda!!

For me the major pee take is Tara asking for the Trust to pay towards the tour. This person has more money than any of us could dream of & is set to benefit from FF when it is eventually built. If the club do well, then it is likely the club will gain more publicity & the club will make more money. Who benefits from it Tara & Wrong Martin.

Cough up Tara & stop acting like Wrong Martin.

That is a question only he can answer, but I'm guessing its because he's an essex boy at heart?

As for his wealth, it is well documented how much he sold his company for.

I cannot remember exactly, but it was quoted in an Irish newspaper linked on here a few weeks back. It was at least £130M, but I think it might have been £240M, but don't quote me!"

Didn't we have a really bad pre-season one year when all the players got food poisoning at Dover? I think it was 1990/91; didn't do too badly that season as I recall.

I think that 10,000 pounds for Paul and Blair to have a nice little break in the highlands to visit there families is a small price to pay.Is the money to cover the cost of the players wages.Mr brady is worth a few bob,surely he could dip into his pocket.

Nearer the truth I am sure.

Surely this is one of those "bogof" offers so therefore cost efficient and money saving?

I didn't pay 100 quid to join the Trust as a life member for PS to take his team on a **** up in Scotland.I'd hope the Trust would use any money they have in the bank to help towards bailing us out of a possible future Administration or towards a future Exeter style Supporters takeover of the club.:angry:

Do you really think the Trust has anywhere near enough money in the bank to be able to do what you suggest if it was needed to? And if so do you think the Trust should be throwing cash at the youth team or at physio equipment as they just have done? In the event of administration I'm fairly sure the youth setup would be one of the first cuts.

I'm just curious as it does not seem clear what people actually want the Trust to do or indeed what the Trust is actually set up for?

What, and take the criticism that was levied when Ron was loaned the £60k all over again? :omg: It's precisely because we've listened to the criticism and because time wasn't against us, that members are being given the opportunity to vote on this occasion. Honestly, there's no pleasing some people.

 

[Cricko]

Although I don't like the idea at all, credit where credit is due and The Trust are spot on with consulting their membership.

 

[Beardoblue]

Oh I do so agree with you Kay. The trust are damned if they do and damned if they dont. The choice is there vote yeah or nay and accept the majority decision. Some how I dont think it will be that simple whatever the outcome people will still winge. Its democratic to take a vote and the trust are doing the right thing.

 

[McNasty]

If there is a "Yes" vote that will be £22,000 of the Trust's money gone. That, I believe, is 25% -ish of their monies ---won't leave much for emergencies.
