6,pm announcement

[vvm]

20 hours in and the fund sits at just over £4800. I’ve got to admit it’s doing better than I expected. Been doing what I can to share to as many corners of the internet that I can.

[dazza]

I personally don’t see what this is all about
Hodgie comes on and complains people are whingers

If the trust made a statement saying this money is needed for x y z
But they don’t
It’s like the same old bull on here whereby it’s a kinda. We know something you don’t know statement

Who has decided a go fund is a good idea.
The trust. The board requesting it ?

The club belongs to Jason. Why are we trying to raise money ???

[Billy bodger]

More information from the Trust please and at the next meeting with the BOD’s tell them to tell us something.

We may know more tomorrow if JW talks to staff, or if he has the meeting with the Trust, we need proper information.

It is the Trust raising money not the Club, it will be up to the Trust what they do with the money at the minute it’s blind fundraising until we know what JW’s next move is.

People that have more of an idea of what is going on seem to be keeping it to them selves.

I hate not having the proper info, it makes for poor judgement.

[fulwoodshrimp]

Do the trust know how much we owe HMRC? It seems odd that the embargo is still in place and we fans don’t know what the bill is for and how much it is. We need an open honest relationship between board, trust and fans if we are to have a chance to survive.

[Billy bodger]

No good judgement ever came into fruition when it was taken in a swirling chair.

[nobbyshrimp]

Are you lot for real, I’m 120 miles away, not at all associated in anyway with the trust yet I know what it’s all about. Forget the bloody embargo there is alot more at stake than the bloody embargo and no you have no right to know what the amount is plus it really is insignificant at this stage. We might not have a football club any day so what does the embargo matter. Jesus wept the poor volunteers of the trust giving up there time when none of you lot volunteered for it and they can’t do right for doing wrong. This is all embarrassing and playing right into JWs hands so well done him for dividing the fans, you should all be ashamed

I agree.

[Billy bodger]

Being part of the Shrimps Trust is a choice, I don’t think we should knock the Trust or the Trust or others to knock people who don’t want to be part of it. For me, as it’s been said, knocking each other plays into JW’s hands.

Is it wrong to want more information? On the Shrimps Trust Facebook page it eludes that the Club faces imminent administration. I just want to know if that’s a fact, is it about to happen?. Is it tomorrow the day after or the next day? When?

I think we now more than ever must get our selves into a position where the fans maybe could raise enough money with the local consortium where we all could put in a credible offer for the Club, be it from JW or from an administrator, Through the Shrimps Trust in partnership with the local consortium. Otherwise not nearly enough would be raised by the Trust alone.

[Billy bodger]

£5,000 mark past. I have mad an initial donation as a good will gesture, to show my support but I would like more information before I put in the full amount I may well donate.

The £5,000+ has been raised by 143 people so that is a reasonable start.

How do we get more donations, that needs thinking about.

[twosheds]

First of all the Shrimps Trust have done and are still doing a stirling job during a turbulent time in our football club's history. I can't see anyone disageeing with that....and I will be making a donation...

Secondly please don't tell me how I should be feeling...

[BHmfc]

MOAN MOAN BLOODY MOAN. The club is on its arse and the volunteers from The Shrimps Trust are giving up their time and energy for free to try and raise much needed funds. I support the trust 100% and will be happy to make a donation. If you don't support The Shrimps Trust and are not prepared to make a donation, that will be your choice, but stop bloody moaning.

+1

Well said.

[Hodgie1978]

I'm 100% involved in this campaign now and I hope some of the neigh sayers come on board. I guarantee you'll be shocked at how successful this will be.
The club could be sold in the coming weeks.
The club could be in administration
The club could be no more.
What ever happens the Trust and it members will be ready.

[Billy bodger]

How are things going on in the background at the Club, is anything happening or are they the same as us waiting on JW to see what on earth he comes up with next?

Anybody know anything??

BHmfc don’t moan at the moaners that’s just joining them, we are where you said we are and we should all pull together by persuading people to pull together.

If the money raised is not needed to buy shares in the Club then to put a proper fan zone on the waste land is at least something fans can use before the game. It should be named ‘The Shrimps Trust Fans Zone’ and a % of anything generated should go back to the Trust as well as the Club.

[P/T Indie]

I think by Tuesday night we will have a better idea of what is going on at the club so will know what the money needs to be used for.

I think lots of people are waiting for news from the club and then if the worst happens imagine the donations will shoot up.

[Billy bodger]

Southend United in a mess, they are due back in court on June 26th, so anything holding things up I hope are sorted out.

[Wild Bill]

I must say, hats off to the Trust their positive action recently. This fund is necessary to give them some seed corn should the worst happen. I will see what comes out this week, but will certainly donate if administration gets announced

[Billy bodger]

£6,000 mark reached this morning, well done spread the word.
