Hopefully this can change going forward as the Trust has been acknowledged by the FSA and the new Regulator as having a key role to play in fan consultation when the new Football Governance Act fully comes into operation. There is a note coming out shortly to members effectively saying "why is this important" having recently met with the acting COO of the Regulator.
Generally though , we do need a new membership push and there is no problem with the new joiners other than the fact that it was triggered by an individual who seems to have a huge personal dislike for me personally , the Trust in generally and most senior people at the club (other than the senior employee there that feeds him information which he then uses against the club)
