Miggys First Goal Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 50000 supporters kicking in £7000 each brings us to the magic £350 million number. Imagine how long it's going to take the PL to do their tests if that happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Apparently its got nowt to do with the takeover. As far as Ashley not been fit and proper to run a football club, is he not the perfect owner for the top 6, an owner with no real ambition and is happy just to keep the status quo ?

Atleast theyre trying something, it may work may not, but atleast it's something, other then people who just make shitty comments, and then contribute fuck all towards anything.

Yorkie Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I'm very curious to know what the plan is tbh. I really hope it's something meaningful. I don't know much (or, if I'm honest - given my current attitude towards NUFC - really care) about the Trust's 'day-to-day' battles around improving the supporter experience, but I do respect their fight and their values and the fact they are simply volunteers going out of their way to fight people's corners. And with that in mind, whilst I can relate to some of the criticism they've faced around certain things or failing to fully back boycotts etc, I appreciate that they're never going to put their full weight behind that sort of message, as it fundamentally contradicts their work around accessibly and supporter experience. So you've got a Trust trying to represent a massively divided fanbase where both ends of the spectrum (go to the game / don't go to the game) have huge representation; it's an impossible job and I have sympathy for (and a lot of faith in...) the dafty who decided to become Chair. Nevertheless, it's literally got 14,000 members and therefore a unique level of strength in numbers in the landscape of NUFC supporter groups. The Trust is really the only active supporter group worth attaching yourself to for that reason. So given that strength, like I say, I hope whatever's coming is something meaningful and achievable. The nature of it suggests that it's something further reaching and more significant than the 'day-to-day stuff', and it really ought to be. Otherwise that uniquely strong asset (ie the membership) is kinda being wasted. But, then again, it's not like I'm sat here making suggestions, is it, so who gives a fuck what I think?

Fantail Breeze Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Why send out that cliff-hanger nonsense and not just make an announcement on Thursday? It’s two days. Ahh, yes.

Depends what you define as ‘trying something’. They’re experts at trying to push their own public image. You can’t put a value on the contribution towards the East Stand toilets though! People are quite right to question an organisation who have taken tens of thousands of pounds from supporters and achieved fuck all to date (apart from multiple backtracks, broken promises and refusals to support protests).

Yorkie Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 But it's not new m£mb£rs is it? It's new members. They're not sat in the pub drinking away people's membership fees. The idea that they're out to make bank from all this is just bloody farcical. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But every member/quid helps promote themselves. The know full well the fanbase are on tenterhooks right now and they post utter shit like that, purposely to create unnecessary speculation. If Greg wasn’t so heavily involved, the criticism on here would be much more vocal.

What's wrong with them trying to get more members? We can debate their actions and methods but I think that's a separate issue to any debate around whether they should or shouldn't seek out more members.
