    That will always be the case I guess. But the rest of us do need an explanation. It’s the least we deserve having helped prop the club up for many years, and particularly through the pandemic.

    Totally agree with you,it's not the sentiment of the posts it's more the name calling which doesn't come over that well when some are trying to have reasoned debate.

    Good job well. Well done. Good interview. Articulate and controlled responses. You struck the right tone by not being too damning of anyone; which wouldn't have been helpful at all at the moment.

    Oh well. It's their words and actions that have led to the I'll feeling. They're a plague of locusts

    They haven't got the balls or the justification to write a response. They'll just waffle an excuse out at the meeting

    There is a response provided over the weekend. Think it should be on Trust website later.

    Is it full of lies like everything else they've said since they came here?

    How about they've had ample opportunity to say something but they refused? Shouldn't take a public shaming for them to give fans the decency of a reply

    I judge them on their previous actions and words and it is their fault not mine that they haven't changed my mind. Until I see anything different I'll continue to think they're a set of pricks

    What Gally said.

    Blamed on the fact I' in the middle of 2022 Strategy week and having zero time other than now to put something together. Wouldn't be right to go out on here with the update as this isn't the Trust website, so needs to be through standard channels for members.
