Even the most engaged owner will limit it to a quarterly meeting about what colour to paint the bogs. Fan engagement is fine, but the majority of the issues fans raise are a load of bollocks - you only need to look at the forum minutes of most clubs across the country to see that. NUST will at best have such limited impact because of how badly they are run. The fact they’ve still not sorted out the donations for the pledge scheme is shambolic. Couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery. Still not having the charity donations sorted when there's a cost of living crisis hitting particularly hard in the North East is really poor form.

I'm not passing comment on the legitimacy of what's discussed or even the power that wields - both are negligible. The point is he has an opportunity to speak to the owners. Whether he uses that time to suggest a new striker or what sandwiches they offer in the platinum club it's still an opportunity the lion share of the fanbase (us included) will never get. Things like NUST run on their legitimacy. The second it starts to mirror that shite part of politics the more folk will turn off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what your point is… I couldn’t really care less about “getting an audience with Amanda or Mehrdad”. If I was involved in NUST, I still wouldn’t care about that. That’s not what it’s about. It’s about achieving something for the fans and the local community. Your post echos what Alex says himself, “ooh look at me, look at me I’ve met Amanda”. Don’t care mate - can you crack on and spend some time doing something productive like distributing that money to local charities? Although a Tory tosser like him, using his self-appointed role at NUST to enhance his own business interests, why would he care about helping others?

And that's exactly my point which I made fairly clear. His critics won't turn on this, if anything they'll feel validated that for him this is about his self-indulgence and not furthering the cause of supporters.

I believe that members will get to vote before a final decision on charities is made Three months yesterday since the membership vote closed on the future of this and the decision was made to distribute the funds to charity.

Sean Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 The 'buying a share of the club' was always a vanity project IMO. Give other peoples money to charity and then claim all the credit for the donation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way for people to vote is with their feet. Memberships should be cancelled, regardless of whether you pay annually or in bulk. Problem is Alex will just get rid of Greg and the rest of the puppet board if that happened, rather than himself Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 So wait the reason it is taking time is them talking to charities about donating it to them? I work at a charity, here is how long the conversation would last "would you be interested in this pile of money we have collected?" "is it from putin or jack the ripper?" "no" "yes please" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
