Nick - is it possible to have a sticky or something similar with FAQs about the Trust otherwise this thread might never end Colin - the point I'm trying to make is: the Trust advocates a fan-led ownership model for CCFC working with co-investors; some people believe fans can't do anything and...

The Trust is a concrete option with clear aims and strategy. Some people say fans can do nothing and we just have to wait and see what new owner emerges and new owners may/may not be any better than those we've had over the last 15+ years. I don't agree wiith that view but at least I understand...

Overseveral months we have held meetings with all interested parties including sisu, acl, the council etc etc. With the Administrator now in place the situation is very different. Our strategy is therefore to make the case for fan-led ownership and seek to work in partnership with co-investors...

I really don't understand what's gone on with this thread. I'm completely confused as to who Broken Hearted and Don are but both come over as caring only for CCFC and I'd just repeat that all the people I've met through the Trust are 100% sound, with no vested interests and are passionate about...

£1k is a lot of money so the Pompey savings scheme was intended to help people who wanted to buy a share but hadn't got that much money lying around. What matters at this stage is establishing the principle of fan-led ownership and getting co-investors and other parties to buy into it. The...

The Trust is an independent, democratic, legally constituted, not for profit supporters group. Board members are elected by the membership (I'm membership sec). With events happening so fast the Trust's position is developing as advocating a fan-led ownership model. What is happening at...

I'm now totally confused as to who is who but all the people I've met through the Trust are 100% sound, with no vested interests and are passionate about CCFC. Good people one and all, who I trust 100% and stand in admiration of the effort they put in. Spending a couple of hours in the freezing...

inputting of details of new people who joined yesterday isn't finished but I'm estimating we're up to 1800-1900 members. Membership has certainly more than doubled in barely 2 weeks

Unless I've missed something I think this is just the usual banter. I think pretty much everyone agrees that fans need to pull together but it's inveitable people will have different ideas about what this means and how to move forward. But talking (arguing!) about it does bring out some good...

At last I can justify to the wife the amount of time I spend on all this!

I left this thread this morning with everyone being positively polite and now it's all foaming mouths and penis enlargement! I've got used to all the false stuff about the Trust at best well meaning and a waste of time and at worst self selected attention seekers with membership money (as in a...

Thanks, Burbage - rRest of my day is now being dedicated to doing justice to a fine looking leg of lamb!

Don, we are now getting expert financial and legal advice from professionals in those fields who are City fans and have joined the Trust. We are also getting an incredible level of support from Supporters Direct (effectively the umbrella organisation for supporter trusts) who have the experience...

Just a couple of points to clarify, both relating to money. The membership fee has been deliberately kept at £1 to encourage as many people as possible to join. Membership money goes into a LloydsTSB account and is used for running costs like increasing IT capacity to cope with the huge increase...

Pompey have one final court date and if the Administrator gets his way in that the Trust will be the owners within days. The key phrase is adopt and adapt an ownership that fits our circumstances

Still inputting details of all the new people who joined yesterday and number of people joining via the Trust website increases by the hour - my estimate is 1800-1900 but can't be exact unitl yesterday's inputting is completed.
