Heron Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I think at least 60% of the fan base wants that now. The rest just want to continue supporting and somewhat put heads in the sand regarding Ashley. It's understandable but not the right option long term. Sad times mate...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I don’t see why it’s so outlandish for a supporters’ trust to say “we’ll continue the functions of a trust, except that we don’t have a club we can currently engage with’. That seems fairly sensible to me and would send a very clear message that the current state of NUFC is unacceptable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems fairly sensible to me and would send a very clear message that the current state of NUFC is unacceptable. But why shouldn't we engage on the issues I've mentioned, sexism, racism, our fans being on the end of police brutality etc.? We can still be very much against the current ownership and working for regime change but still raise concerns and issues with the club about these types of issues.

morla84 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Personally I dont see how a supporters trust can function effectively without some sort of interaction with the club. There are two different agendas being discussed here, the ones mentioned by Greg and then removing the owner. The first needing contact with the club to have a serious influence over. As long as both items are the ultimate goal of NUST and they don't become a puppet then I don't see what the issue is. Yes they may have used the atmosphere to their advantage over the summer, but I'm sure you can get your quid refunded if that's such an issue. Just my opinion, I dont think these are the bad guys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well both are valid positions, I just think it’s more important to clearly set the fans against the club. Also I disagreed with using the current crisis to get new members, but you’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 I understand it's a wider football issue, but there's a bit of a diversity issue in that list... Good luck though Heron. I'll finally sort out my membership and vote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heron Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Just voted for Heron. Felt a bit sorry for him as he was the only one without a profile picture. Thank you. It was my choice by the way. It's not about me, it's about what I do to represent you. That's why I didn't want my picture. It hopefully breaks down barriers of it "being all about the egos" too. That's my hope.
