Title: It's all going pear shaped
Post by: ScillyRed on Thursday, May 17, 2007, 11:07:04
As a trust member & fan of 30+ years, albeit a 'non attender' due to geographical constraints. I fear that the fans consortium efforts are doomed to failure - the reason will not be the quantum/quality of the offer but the personal abuse and vitriol directed at the various board members. They may well be lying, theiving, dickheads - but if I was in their position, the last thing I would want to do is to be associated in any way with the perpetrators of these insults, who I am sure they regards as a minor distraction at the end of the day, as borne out by their recent press releases.
I sincerely hope I am wrong and that Bill get's his chance - but don't hold your breathe !!!!!!
Rant over
Happy summer everyone - hope the future is orange  :D  :D  :D

i think we just need to keep an open mind to it all. we have to believe it isn't the end as that's probably far from the case.

One thing I've learnt over the past twenty years is that don't take anything STFC for granted, don't assume anything, and certainly don't expect a fat lady to ever sing!

For all it's rights and wrongs, for better or for worse, I love this club.

Not that I've noticed. If there's going to be personal abuse slinging, I'd like to know so I can get in on the fun  :D

There's been a considerable amount of that, granted, from individual fans, some of whom support the Fans' Consortium effort. But there certainly hasn't from the Consortium itself.

The fact I think Alan is being a cunt has nothing to do with the the success of the Trust and/or the Consortium whatsoever.
