He then said ask the trust, who haven't said anything.
Speaking of the trust, I did get a response after asking about the detailing from the accounts.....
"Hi Steve
Thanks for the note. First of all, let me start by saying that I completely understand the point you are making with these questions.
To answer, the financial exercise is not over, and the conversations are ongoing, and I spent the whole day yesterday working on something which I hope will help move this along.
We can't play much at all out in the public space because the public space has become a little unreasonable and anything that is said is taken in a negative way by some (I even got verbally abused by two foul-mouthed fans in front of my teenage son and other kids at the weekend)
More generally, it's good to remember that the Trust is made up of a cross-section of fans and that new people will need to join the Trust board in February. Personally, I want to close out my time with the Trust in the right way, pass on my experiences, and then we all need to work together, the club, the fans and the local media. We are also in a Joint Venture of course and that needs protecting.
Anyway, thanks again for contacting in a normal and reasonable way and asking the questions.
Let's hope 2024 brings some smiles back to our faces.
Regards,
Steve M."
The abuse in the stands is way beyond the line, but the tone of this smacks of someone who doesn’t get it and is blind to concerns Working together in peaceful harmony is great when everyone is acting in good faith. But club ownership have proven they don’t act in good faith - so why are the trust hesitant to call that out |

Magical wish of the day: Stefan Persson lives in Ramsbury. Has $28bn. Loves football. Always hoped he'd get involved. I'd be happy with that.
persson also runs mentor foundation that helps against drugs abuse with yuong kids ironically that might come in handy after getting rid of the likes of zav and hart sniff sniff |

Because those in the Trust are probably kind hearted football fans who want to try to help the club, rather than being crooks. |

thinking if clem purposley did things to put town into an embargo vwollah solves the problem of him having to find money to sign players and would only have to fulfil the bare min imagine that and i think we can still sell under embargo to https://www.efl.com/governance/embargoes/ |

interesting idea, think that's a step too far on the CT front for me.
That said, we did appoint Morris just in time for deadline day last year. hmm

As an aside, there is at least some investment on the pitch (literally). We had the "grow light" out last night in the Town End penalty area. Must have needed grass repair/strengthening.

You’d have thought with the absence of our defenders one half and the lack of our strikers second half the grass must be virtually untouched.

We’ve had them for a couple of seasons now to give the grass in shaded areas some light in the winter months. Only surprise is we’re still paying the electric cost to use them but then again the cost of a postponed game would soon outweigh the electricity bill. |
