It's not just a relationship with "Sky Blues Talk", it's with fans and members in general. There currently isn't one with the members of the Trust.

It's not unique to here or anything different to say Keith on Twitter or Dave or doesn't have the internet but signed up in town.

But we are the ones trying to do something about it.

Oh and I agree but will anything change? I was trying 3 or 4 years ago when I wasn't as much of a prick pointing things out to them. Not just to here but make them see that fans dont see them as a voice.

They fully know the situation though, Knowl did that poll (poetry) in the summer and they had no interest in listening to it or learning from it.

Hopefully somebody like Pete who is less of a prick than me can build a bridge of sorts!

It isn't us V Trust, it's people pissed off that the Trust keep speaking on their behalf when the overwhelming majority don't feel represented by them. It's not just on here that people are mentioning it.

Yes, but other fans will now have become more aware of the indemnity and/or the Trust's stance due to the 'fans groups fighting' headline.

The good thing about the BBC using the 'scabs' headline is that fans that do go to Brum will read that and go 'well that's rubbish, no-ones called me a scab, Trust don't know what they're on about'.

I agree but it doesn't stop them rolling out for occasions to push an agenda.

Exactly.

They were even told by the members that attended the AGM in July but that too was ignored:

Sky Blue Trust - Key Points from the Open Discussion at the Sky Blue Trust AGM, 15th July, 2019

Read through that again & tell me what they have actually taken onboard in the last 6 months?

I'd love to see us work together but when they have consistently ignored their members for years whilst releasing inflammatory or divisive statements in the name of said members I'm hugely disappointed.

They have pushed their SISU OUT (at any cost) agenda so hard, including trying to force a takeover, that the club will no longer speak to them so what is actually the point of them now? They have no influence.

And of course there was quite a lively discussion prior to that meeting around whether it was even worth trying as it had been done before. Fair play some people turned up and gave it a shot but once again here we are a few months down the line and nothing has changed.

That's why nobody believes Neil when he says he just forget the indemnity or its an oversight to have not informed members of certain things. Its a pattern thats been ongoing for years. They haven't built up the goodwill for people to accept excuses like that.

Henry Winter always responds to CJ because of the England connection, soif he really wanted to redress the article and get something more balanced out there that mentions the indemnity clause, he'd have no problem doing so, therefore I can only assume there is no appetite to.

There really is no appetite to. CJ and Neil will just bullshit everybody and act like victims. Same as every other time, they just hope people won't ask them questions.

They assume people are thick, the same as when I was being told somebody on their board had nothing to do with those social media accounts

As our plight is getting some publicity again it's surely only a matter of time before the white knights Hoffman & Elliott resurface. Of course with insufficient funds & no plan (except to probably close down the academy again) but they'll be acclaimed by the Trust as they've been promised shares or similar... All too predictable.

Him and Elliott are already wetting up fans at games.

Just been to the paper shop and got The Times. His article focuses mainly on Robins. Very little about the off field issues.

The Crowley rant says it all really. It’s impossible to work with these people - it’s just pointless they are like Flat Earth Members

Neil says he’s been encouraged this week that more unifying voices are coming together!
