It was in no way a dig at the Trust in any way.
I wish you lot all the best and will be joining myself.
Ìt just shows the attitude of the club when it saw fit to dismiss the Supporters Trust so readily. Recognised or not they should listen to fans.
It is a football club they've bought that means a lot more to the fans than it does to them evidently, not some house or car that they can change as they see fit without consultation.

The way to move forward is more openness and compromise . It's not through marches which however well intentioned and I joined the last one are not going to work with the current owner and his employees.
The long game basically .

For 12 quid a year we can have people elected by us to at least try and keep us involved with what's currently going on
In some ways we are helpless and we can't influence what goes on with the playing side but I think after several years of not being a member it's time to join up

If you’ve paid by PayPal, the Trust should get a notification of it and I can register you as a member. I’ll check if anything’s come shortly and I’ll e-mail you a confirmation if it has.

Yes, there was something, I've just sent an e-mail out acknowledging receipt and giving membership details.

I believe that it was one trust member and it was done in a non official capacity. That's my understanding.

Post from TOBW (Paul Evans) on behalf of the Supporters Trust on 24 March this year:
The following message was sent out to Trust members earlier this morning;-
"SAM HAMMAM
We wanted to make members aware that Trust chair, Keith Morgan, was recently invited to a meeting by former Cardiff City owner, Sam Hammam.
The chairman accepted the invitation and gave the club senior management prior notice of the meeting. They did not respond before the meeting which took place in Penarth.
Keith met Sam Hammam with a view to ensuring his relationship with Cardiff City Football Club was now purely limited to the status of a fan. He is also no longer a shareholder of our club.
The Trust is delighted that a satisfactory settlement between Sam Hammam and the club has been reached and that it ends his formal involvement with Cardiff City. We believe that this is in the best interests of both the club and fans moving forward."

Thank you for your help 👍🏻
Re: CARDIFF CITY SUPPORTERS TRUST ......TIME TO JOIN UP
Every time a new member joins via PayPal the Trust get an email from PayPal notifying them of the payment. The membership secretary then emails the new member allocating them a membership number and asking for postal address details so that a GDPR form can be sent to formalise contact arrangements. Some of the recent influx of new members have responded and been sent GDPR forms. However, some Trust emails may end up in Junk so it is worth any new member checking their Junk folder to see if one has arrived. Then the membership arrangements can be finalised.

There is no alternative
12 quid for a voice or moan and whinge
It's a no brainer
