Very important that as many fans attend as possible. I don't normally attend supporters meetings etc but I will be there.

Some will whinge, they need to get it off their chests, the trust needs to listen and work with them to resolve their gripes with the club.
Legally permitted to use "Gnasher" by DC Thomson's lawyers since 1999.

Well Lee the new owners have a funny way of showing they want any sort of success at the moment, selling our best player, no money in the bank to pay staff, no presence , no communication . All they are doing at the moment with their silence is leaving everyone doubting they have any interest in the future of our club and one of the main reasons this trust is being formed
hopefully.

Questions to everyone ?

What exactly are you hoping to hear at this supporters trust meeting ?

How do you want or think the trust should operate ?

I have no knowledge of supporters trusts, is it a case of we all pile money into an account and if sh!t hits the fan, the trust pays out, does the trust have a sole trustee, or a committee, does the trustee or committee have to contact payee's prior to release of any funds or are payee all contributing with the understanding the money is set aside for one thing only.

When a trust is formed, it is made up of shareholders (fans). The idea is that those in the Fans Club will automatically be shareholders and others will be invited to join.

The move is to give fans a legal voice, not to take money off them to put into an account.

This is how I see it anyway, but will be going to the meeting to find out for myself and would recommend anyone else that can does too..
Enjoy yourself.... It is later than you think

You are best waiting for the meeting for that as supporters direct will do a presentation.

As mentioned elsewhere, all trusts work differently but ultimately in the clubs interest. It could be any of your suggestions above.

This is something to bring to the meeting for supporters direct and their presentation. Simply, fcom cant get to a position where it even gets told the lies. A club has to engage with a supporters trust as part of its efl constitution (so I've been told).

If you have a chat I should be in the bar from 2/2.30 and 4.45 For a bit after the game, I'm the big balding lad in a hoodie and a black wax coat.
