It's soul destroying that so few people are able to comprehend the whole sorry mess as 'grey' rather than a black v white opportunity to lob rocks at whoever they perceive as the other side....how many are waiting for a self-fulfilling prophecy, and an opportunity to blame someone else for killing STFC?
Much as I despair at the way STFC has been managed for what, ten years, I'm equally concerned at the Trust's capability to deliver anything better.
If the naive, provacative shite I read here really is an indication of what's to come, I'm scared.
I don't see any 'naive, provacative shite' - as you put it - being posted. More like a rake of STFC fans joining up and discussing ways of changing the shambolic way that stfc is being run by Diamandis .
Paul Sturrock and his team will only be able to do a half-decent job if the board are behind them. Does anyone seriously expect Diamandis to be around in 12 months time, off the back of the recent revelations about him and his allegedly 'dodgy' activities?
FFS, we need to take a reality check here!!!!
I admit that I only joined the Trust recently, having previously viewed them with suspicion, as we already had a supporters club who do a fantastic job raising funds for the club when they set up as a new, largely 'political' stfc party and opposed / questioned the new stfc consortium board.
I don't often change my mind about people. (Miserable bastard? Yep, that's me.) From what I'm reading though - often between the lines and from all over the STFC network that I can plug into on my travels - I'm putting my 'trust' with the Trust - and Arthur Horsefield - in the inevitable battle with the stinking, lying, shithouse club board and Diamandis.
'DING DONG' ARTHUR AND THE TRUST!
