Keith quoted my statement
Well - good luck with that. The Shrimps Trust have made it abundantly clear to me a) that they don't give a damn"
He added:
I think that is particularly unfair. They most certainly do care, but have a difference of opinion. The Trust meeting had its flaws, which hopefully they've learned from.
You have every right to disagree with what I have said Keith – everyone has. However, I think that if the Shrimps Trust actually did care, they would surely do something about the ownership situation. But what have they actually done? NOTHING WHATSOEVER. Actions speak far louder than words. So I invite all members of the Shrimps Trust to ask themselves: what initiatives have the leaders of this organisation taken as far as the ownership issue is concerned EVER? What communications have members received from them about this issue as it interminably dragged-on? The answer to both these questions is: NONE WHATSOVER.
Is this giving a damn? I don’t think so.
I’m also puzzled by your change of mind about the utility of demonstrations against Whittingham such as that suggested for months by Fulwood Shrimp. You say:
“However, I now don't believe a protest is of any value. Whittingham won't care in the slightest, and now, The Board have made their position clear. Any protest would be damaging to them, not the owners.”
I don’t follow the logic of this. Any protest would be about the owner – NOT ABOUT THE BOARD. He may not care in the slightest but I would argue that one of the reasons he thinks this is because we as a collective have sat on our hands and done absolutely nothing to show our displeasure with the situation at the club. He probably thinks we’re a load of disinterested, complacent morons who haven’t the wit to organise against him. In my view, we URGENTLY need to show that this is not true. Then we’ll see if he cares or not. But the one certain thing is that if we don’t support the Board and their statement of yesterday by some sort of collective action, his view won’t change.
