Why would they do that though? Surely we'd assume the vast majority wouldn't care enough to lie?

Yes, and I don't agree with their actions - haven't for a long time.

But anytime a different option is voiced at one of their occasion meetings its all 'we'll take it onboard' etc and then just gets ignored while they carry on doing their own thing.

This shows how little interest they have in what the fans actually thing. Grendel, for all the stick he gets, spent a fair amount of time collecting and collating data for them and they weren't interested, wouldn't even meet.

Just emailed them to say


Hi

Just noticed I haven’t received a reply to the last message I sent.

Can you please advise me of when your meetings are and when the agm is?

I think you urgently need a change of direction and you need to be strongly urging wasps to remove the requirement for the indemnity clause. This would then leave ccfc no alternative but you talk about returning to coventry.

Failing that can you speak with your mep and clarify whether the Eu complaint can be withdrawn or ignored.

This is not all one way and currently it looks like ccfc can’t return to coventry because of the stipulation being put on them by wasps that they can’t possibly sign up to

I’m personally not a member of the Trust.

I don’t understand the mission for the Trust anymore, nor does it appeal to me to do so.

IMO the Trust lost its way a while ago and is in dire need of hitting the reset button.

I paid a quid about 10 years ago. Received a few emails but they stopped after a few months.

Certainly they do not represent my views by any stretch so procedurally I will be emailing them to make sure I’m no longer registered as a member.

That's the only things that matter at the moment, can the complaint be dropped (everything we've seen to date suggests not) and will Wasp drop the indemnity requirement. anything else is a waste of time until that's covered off. Even if you believe a new stadium will be built we need to be back while it's in progress so that still takes priority.

Ive just sent them a Message (Below) to resign my membership. I’d been lazy in not resigning but really don’t want them counting me as one of their supporters. I’d urge everyone else to do the same.

Hi, rather naively, I donated a £1 and signed up as a member some years back in the hope that you would be a voice of the clubs fans and work to support the football club.
It has become more apparent over the last few years that I was naive and you neither support the club nor speak for the majority of the fans.
Please therefore remove me from any membership with the trust immediately as I do not wish to have any association with yourselves or London wasps.
Please acknowledge receipt of my request and confirm that it has been actioned so that I can continue with my support of the football club.

I am a member of the trust but I do not agree with the way things are run.
Don’t get me wrong I am in no way inclined to get involved in order to change the trust, I just think they are a rudderless ship that do not speak on behalf of the majority of fans.

Why would you even admit to being a member if you are, let alone lie about it. I am extremely proud to say, I am not, nor have I ever been a member of the Sky Blue Trust.

I signed up years ago from GMK and paid the fee fook knows how many whores it paid for in total from genuine fans.
It turns out the people running the trust were prostituting them selves to the council and Wasps.

Absolutely spot on and exactly what I would have done if a member. Already a fair few on here who are likely to be part of the 2700. I would encourage them to do the same if they don’t agree with their stance.

Be interesting to see if they confirm your resignation.

Good on you, they have lost a member tonight !!

Small steps....

I'm a member on the basis of paying my pound years ago. I just tend to ignore them now to be honest, just white noise - they don't add anything useful to the situation.

Understand you ignoring them, but your one of the 2700 which have been quoted in the CET article. Ask yourself, are they using your membership as endorsement as agreeing their approach ?

So far then, a few members but no 'active' members. No one who actually supports the trust and what they do.

Never was a member and although it was only £1 and not a large sum I wanted to see what was on offer first. Good decision it seems.

Joined the Trust when we did the march down skyblue way paid a £1 had one email and then nothing, so i assume after 5 years i gave a £1 to organise the rally instead. However their view is not representing my opinion. I suggest they send an email to their Entire contacts with Email read comfirmation switched on to see exactly how many members they really have.

Still a member, haven’t got round to emailing a request to be removed just yet. Wouldn’t mind actually mind putting myself forward at some point to try and change the direction of the Trust, but just haven’t got the time to commit to such a thing. Besides, the other half would go mad if she found out there were more nights I’d be out the house.
