where does the takeover leave the trust?

[DMR]

what's the plan for you guys paul/andy etc?

obviously it's a bit wait-and-see how much backing the new investors give sturrock, and what their intentions are, so is it a case of giving it your backing for now?

[STFC_Gazzza]

I think the Trust will probably welcome the news with a sense of caution and then at some stage look to meet and lobby to get a fan on the board?

[tans]

that young sir is a good question that i believe hasnt been asked

[janaage]

I suppose there's not a lot that the trust can say at this stage, yet again a severe lack of details has left everyone in the dark.

[Reg Smeeton]

The Trust position needs the mandate of its membership.....I feel a meeting of all fans groups like the October? meeting last year is called for.

   Maybe Rufus Brevett could be invited.

Greeted by a chorus of "Oxford reject"??

[tans]

How about this:

"The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on fire, Until we get some money our strikeforce is fucking dire?"

  Don't be silly.....scum..mer scum..mer scum..mer more like.

  I feel these new peeps will need to learn that they can either engage in a positive and open way with fans's groups, or face opposition to their schemes.

  Its not been an auspicious start.

We've got a members' meeting on Saturday which we will be inviting the new owners(?) or their representatives to attend and set fans' minds at rest.

As for a Trust position on all this, as Reg says that would be for our members to decide. As a board, I think we would take the line that it's impossible to take any position, other than a broad feeling of relief that the waiting game fiasco seems to be done and a vague optimism that this is a genuine new start for the club, until we have any information as to what has been done.

We asked a series of questions a few weeks back, the Adver a few weeks before that. Once those questions have been answered properly, then we'd be in a position to take a call on this. Until then, we can but hope like everyone else.

Nice of you to tell us in advance  

[Simon Pieman]

It was. The email told me all about it.

[Batch]

So where and when is it then? I missed the email too.

[Samdy Gray]

I didn't get one. Oh well, perhaps they don't want me turning up.  

Edit: Oh wait, yes I did. Stupid junk email filters.

[dell boy]

I'm going to be at The Moonrakers on Saturday :shock:
