And we're actually in Division 3...

After the misery of the last 10+ years I'll take any bit of 'glory' even if it's a mickey mouse cup and a quarter final pretending to be a semi

I'm paying on the gate. When it's £5 price ain't an excuse and if we don't get a decent crowd tonight it'll be even more galling if we get to Wembley and 30k+ suddenly remember they're city fans. And after all, tonight is a semi final and when did we last have one of those? '87 of course plus...

I've got my Carlisle ticket and with the JPT too that's what I'm really looking forward to......But....reality is that we face a possible winding up notice, eviction from the ricoh, liquidation if sisu were to walk away, and lord alone knows what else. So I'll enjoy myself Thursday and Sunday...

Not sure where this thread is going, but - Regarding a poll, doing a fans' survey would be great. Would the club we willing to help or, Nick, how about a survey of this forum's 4k registered users? Any survey will be what it is i.e. of season ticket holders, forum users, and it would need...

Sky Blue Kid, probably best if you just PM him

Grendel and Torch - posts much appreciated WillieStanley - it's 7.30pm at The Squirrel (upstairs room) cv1 2gy (someone earlier, a troll I assume, said he'd heard that the pub had closed but that's a post that can be filed under utter bollocks). If you want my honest opinion about Trust...

Torch and Grendel - thanks for the direct answers. There is absolutely no need for anyone to wear body armour or have a body guard and there really is absolutely no basis to say such a thing. I'm beginning to struggle a bit to understand your lines of argument and, most crucially, I really don't...

Simple question - this is a great thread so why not give up keyboards for a couple of hours and come along to tomorrow's Trust meeting; there's already an excellent speaker lined up, football finance expert John Beech, and with the different perspectives being expressed here it would make a...

Is this a repeat of SBT's thread about what the Sky Blue Trust stands for?! (1) I don't understand the agenda here. Why is a quote from last Sept, when the Trust was only just getting reformed and things surrounding ccfc looked very different, being cited rather than more recent ones from the...

In response to Torch and Grendel... Grendel - interesting post. I think what you outline is pretty much where the Trust is trying to get to. But again, let's be realistic about this. All work for the Trust is done on a voluntary basis and being democratic means working things through. A...

Speakers at meetings have been people who have something of interest to say and from who things can be learnt. Being a democratic organisation other people would have to agree with this for it to happen, but in my own view it would be great to have a speaker from the club, or even just someone...

Torch - I'm off to the pub now. I'm not sure how to reply to your most recent posts, and Grendel's too, without repeating what was said earlier. I would just reiterate that there is a Trust meeting on Monday where there will be an excellent guest speaker and plenty of time for discussion so why...

Torch - you haven't replied to Dongonzalos's substantive point i.e. he sees Jan as having a very sensible, balanced opinion. Your opinion is different to someone like Dongonzalos and everyone else will form their own view. I can't see the basis for your criticism being well founded - it's just...

Nick - As I said in my previous post, my understanding is that traditionally the London group was the biggest and last summer the Trust was down to less than 20 members. There is absolutely no way the Trust is a clique. It's a completely open group, anyone can join, meetings are advertised etc...

pw632 - Monday's guest speaker is award winning football writer and expert on football finance, John Beech, so should be good. Nick - My understanding is that traditionally the Coventry City London Supporters Group was the biggest. There's also an Irish group and I've heard mention of a Welsh...

mattylad - the Trust only represents its members so unless you are a member the Trust doesn't represent you. The Trust is though by far the largest City supporters' group. I don't know what you mean by 'community meetings'. And what do you think about Swansea, who were saved by the Swans Trust...

7.30pm at the Squirrel. The Trust is a democratic organisation and represents the views of members. Any member can propose ideas and have their say. So much of the discussion about the current situation gets polarised into being pro/anti sisu/acl and I don't see that gets us anywhere. I have...

Taylor - have a look at the Swansea model where the Trust brought together co-investors and initially had 10% of shares and now has 20% and 2 Board members. The Swans Trust website is a really good read. And as I say, why not come along to Monday's meeting? Torch - same for you. Why not come...

I can't type quick enough! Posts appeared while I was writing mine. The Trust is an independent, democratic, supporters organisation. I am concerned that some people (Grendel, Torch, Taylor, Willie) see it as not neutral/having an agenda/anti sisu etc. Would be interested to know how you reach...
