Trust statement....
http://www.truststfc.co.uk/news_item.php?id=1097TrustSTFC welcomes the news that talks between the Football Club and new investors have reached a successful conclusion. However, the series of questions relating to the takeover posed by ourselves and the local media remain unanswered and must be addressed before fans can be fully confident about the future of their club.
Trust chairman Paul Davis commented :"Until we know more about these new owners and their plans it is impossible to judge the effect they will have on the club, however we remain open minded about the situation and have written to the club requesting a meeting with the new owners to discuss the issues of concern to the fans."
"We have also extended an invitation to the new owners and their appointee Rufus Brevett to attend our fans meeting this Saturday. Hopefully they will take that opportunity to begin the process of rebuilding the relationship between the club and the fans that has become so strained in recent times" added Davis.
Trust communications officer Andy Ratcliffe added :"The new owners have a big job to do and we don't expect them to do it all overnight. However, demonstrating some openness and a willingness to engage with the fans at an early stage could go a long way to making their job a lot easier."
- The TrustSTFC fans meeting is open to all fans and will take place from 11:30am this Saturday at the Crosssways Suite, Moonrakers Public House, Cricklade Road. Swindon.
