I don’t get the love in for Fitton to be honest, part of the reason we are where we are now is because of him. He diluted minority shareholding's into nothing so ability to attend AGM’s is gone, he took his own finders fee for Austin, he ran away when the going got tough, he appointed Hart FFS. Yes he saved us from Diamandis and co but it was all other peoples money he used and he ultimately delivered very little of long term benefit.

If he can find us a charlie austin every few years, he can take any finders fee he wants. Drop in the ocean compared to what the likes of Jed/Power/Clem/Zav/Hart and god knows who else have taken out of the club.

It was Blacks decision to sell up as the majority shareholder at the end of the day.

Paul Hart.....well no defending that.

I think the difference is I trust Fitton not to pull a fast one. Rightly or wrongly he is trusted.

Or was.

It might but it shouldn't need this much pressure to make them represent their members.

It's way too passive. And for the Loathed Strangers guys to organise something like this, leads me to believe the Trust were not planning drastic action any time soon.

This would've been well thought out and not an impulse thing.

Totally agree. The Trust will probably claim that without the survey they can't be sure that is the majority of their members position and it isn't just a loud minority.

Hopefully the results of the survey leave them no doubt and they can act on it accordingly, otherwise they're entering in to chocolate teapot territory.

Plus he's a seasoned businessman, knows his football and seems to have an affection for our club. Far away from the useless owner we currently have.

Dan Hunt (on here as dphunt88 or something like that) & a regular on the Loathed Stranger podcast
Rich Pullen of the girlfriend supports City fame also does a podcast or something (TLS obv)
Terry I think used to be Panda Paws on here. I want to say he went on to be a journalist of sorts. Used to always be at the Town games with his dad & younger brother (with Down syndrome [i think]) the last part not massively relevant just extra description because you’ve probably seen them 100s of times down the years.

Well, that’s who I think they are anyway. My TEF history might be a bit rusty

Hi all,
Dan Hunt (@dphunt88) reporting for duty. I'm delighted that Terry and Rich are my co-founders, they're highly skilled and serious people.

Thanks everyone for the lovely messages of support so far. This is about the future of STFC, and only that. Please get behind what we're doing, buy your orange hats (or other bright orange apparall), and turn up on 21st December for our "day of action". That's all we can ask.

Fitton ran away at the end of the relegation season long before Black sold up.

Ultimately if he’s willing to get involved with Morfuni then that’s a red flag in itself.

Stand corrected on the first point then although not sure on the circumstances and why he left.

Second point I agree. Anyone getting involved with this lot is either dodgy or a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

So when do we get a club statement calling supporters a bunch of cunts and we’ve hurt their feelings ?
