New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

[Power to people]

I've seen the schedule for the fans forum and it almost looks like they have everyone there from the marketing guy to the women's manager, now to be honest the evening is not going to be about the women's team or the academy this time, its going to be about Clem trying to defend himself from more criticism and how the club has been run, and Flynn talking about players and who we have signed and who we haven't.

I feel that with all the extra people and only allowing 45 mins for boardroom and then 45 mins for anything football don't give a lot of time, and they will be wanting to wrap it up by 9.

Yeah i think with the number of people on the panel, and the time split this is going to be a bit of a waste of time.

Has there ever been a fans forum that has not been a waste of time though?

[Dr Pierre Chang]

If there’s no opportunity for audience engagement then they may as well pre-record it behind closed doors. They’ll also be able to edit the inevitable PR own goals by the CEO that way!

The museum is a charity in its own right with trustees and isn't run by the Trust, the trust provides updates as a good way of communicating to fans.

I am also fully aware of the set-up here, my point is that time is being used, even if only a very limited amount, in supporting it from the Trust.  It also appears under the Trust update on the AB meeting.  It shouldn't have anything to do with the Trust, in my personal opinion, if you want an effective Trust.  

Don't confuse that in any way, shape or form, with suggesting the Museum is a bad idea.  Far from it, I think it is a great idea.  Something the JV could own, or the club, with the support of a registered Charity (which I presume helps with tax implications and enabling volunteer hours).

Every man hour spent on something that doesn't serve the core purpose is an hour wasted.  Those man hours are very valuable and need to be used wisely and sparingly.  I think a lot of the issues the Trust is facing stem from trying to be everything to everyone.  Sure, a good working relationship with the club can help, but it is NOT vital if doing so impedes delivering the core purpose.

My feelings on it too. Spending too much time in the wrong areas and if they don't reconsider, all that'll be left of this football club is what you can put in a museum.

James Phipps standing for the trust board again

Been a Trust member for many years* but not overly au fait with the inns & outs of the board over the years, but potentially having Phipps back on board strikes me as a positive move?

*I'm not dead or necessarily a couch potato "happy clapper" whatever the fuck one of those is.
Trying to have a positive outlook on all aspects of life despite numerous hurdles along the way is a good thing no?

That sounds good to me.

I thought he'd disappeared

No chance of Aberdeen running again I wonder.

Isn't he part of the old guard you don't like?

I'm not sure that comment was directed at you?

When have I ever had an issue with Rob Angus?

[RobertT]

I think he is pointing out that Rob Angus was involved with the Trust when it cultivated the relationship with Clem, which started before he purchased the club because Clem was meeting with them about the ground purchase.

[Mooneyraker]

When did early bird season tickets go on sale last year?

I’m actually fascinated by how they will approach this…
