Would be interested to see the actual numbers though, given how short the voting window was. Yes I thought that too, fucking shambles springs to mind Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) In all honesty, I don't think the outcome would be any different if the voting time were longer. Edited January 17, 2022 by Heron Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Linton Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Just a heads up for anyone who isn't a Trust member but has pledged money - you need to become a paid up member of the actual Trust to have a say in the vote deciding where the funds are donated.

SteV Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 https://twitter.com/nufctrust/status/1485012408171221004?s=21 Appreciate many on here have reservations about the activities of the Trust and the personalities involved, however this is absolutely the kind of thing we need them to be getting involved with. What happened at the away turnstiles yesterday needs highlighting at every level. I was fortunate enough to get in before things got really hairy, however even at that point to describe the whole process as ‘shambolic’ would be a massive understatement. Hopefully they can get to speak to the relevant people so there’s a proper investigation in to what went on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sort of thing that should be one of there main aims to protect fans and everything football related for us and every club , wonder if they have reached out to other clubs with large followings to see how their fans are treated?

Joey Linton Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 It's the Tuesday apparently, although might it get moved again / cancelled anyway to give the required 28 days notice? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emailed Greg, and got a response, It's only 14 days required to give notice of an AGM (not sure about two at once) but the rules also say members can only raise resolutions 28 days before an AGM (so a conflict in the rules). I raised a resolution by way of a motion of no confidence in december and have asked repeatedly for them to clarify receipt and that it will be discussed (seconded by several) - keep getting a stock "i will email you soon..."

I only seem to get a response where (and maybe I'm reading too much into it) they think they are getting one over on me i.e., saying it's 14 days notice required for an AGM, when my point, although initially poorly worded in haste, was around not allowing members sufficient time to raise resolutions in line with the rules...

James Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Yep we’ve seen in the news for weeks now the importance of following your own rules. yes these are boring mundane details to many but it is important that people like geordie2302 are checking these details and trying to hold people to account. if people didn’t do this, society would collapse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whereas the group of people you are comparing them too are volunteering their own limited time around their jobs and families. Thats why any criticism of them should be measured with that in mind along with the knowledge there is nothing stopping yourself and other critics from stepping forward if they think they can do a better job of it.

People on here did step forward for the NUST. Then they had to leave because of the fuckaboutery. There’s no point in volunteering your time if you can’t follow your own articles of association.
