Yes, it's all sorted out with Paul now
The Trust has always been too cozy with the club. The one time it did have a go it done a backstroke Michael Phelps would have been proud of.
Time for a shake up. Younger blood needed.
Just to clarify a couple of your claims if I may.
The Trust has never been "too cozy"(sic) with the club. In fact for many years it was the only fans organisation that criticised the directors of the club and pressed for answers. At one time this even led the owner to instruct the directors not to speak to us.
As for "done a backstroke" (sic) could you explain what you mean as I am totally unaware of any such an event happening?
so who are these people who have joined to overthrow the current regime ( its not Bales group is it), ive been away for a few weeks and must have missed the gossip
How many members does the Trust have?
Not got the exact figures to hand, but it's around 410/420 now I would have thought.
This is what I was referring to, when I asked why they would want to take over the Trust. We're not talking about massive numbers here, so what's the point? Just to get a tiny bit closer to the club? Or is this more about putting one over somebody in particular?
As for what to do - you don't have to do anything, as there is no election scheduled for quite some time. A lot could have happened by time that comes around. The fact that they're already trying to push the Trust into calling an earlier election should give you some idea of their intentions.
Oh that's good news.
It's amazing that no-one has mentioned the elephant in the room unless, of course, the moderators have deleted any reference to him
I'd say the latter as they are openly hostile to one of the board.
And that's with 70 new members? So it had dipped as low as 350?
If that's true, the organisation is clearly in need of a serious shake-up.
I could be wrong about this, but I'm pretty sure the membership number was far higher when the Trust was originally formed - at least double the current number even taking into account the recent influx of the new members.
No agenda question: is the Trust's mission to represent all Cardiff fans' or just Trust members' views?
Dave , it has hovered around the 350 mark for some time now. Speaking to the FSA this is a similar number to other clubs at our level, and was at Championship level. The main problem is that the majority of fans just want to come along to a game , have a few pints with their mates then watch the game (even though the last bit has been c*ap in recent seasons.)
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)
What safeguards are in place to stop a group of supporters from taking over a trust and using it for personal gain?
I can see deleted posts and this thread has none
I also asked who it is a few posts above and I might have missed a earlier discussion when away
from your post I am guessing its a author ? ? and not Bale
Your guess may well be right
This is all to similar to what Kraft did to Cadbury.
