Thanks for the kind words GM. Looks like we should have a minimum turnout of at least 25 from the replies in so far.

Yes good luck with your efforts. I personally don't have the time to commit to helping you but if you can influence change in anyway then good on you!

What time does it start - I will try to get to it but travelling back from London on a Friday is not the best way

1st meeting held last night. Thanks to all of you who came along. Could not make it last night (got back too late) but by all accounts it was a good 1st meeting - FTM, just a suggestion, there is a thread for the Supporters Trust, would it not be a good idea to post all the comments on that so that people know exactly where to look and posts do not get lost in other threads? Hope I can get to the next meeting

So here we are again. New season. Same situation. What can we the fans do? Those of us that have been around long enough, would no doubt agree that the only way to make the Panthers Org sit up and take notice is by hitting them in the pocket. We all know by now that the club value profit over league titles. So, what do we do? Boycott a game? Would suggest MK in the cup as it's not on the ST. Probably a bit late notice now though. I'm not going though, neither are the 2 people I normally go with. No idea how far-reaching this sentiment is though? The club could have just engaged with the trust and received constructive feedback as to the fans thoughts but they refused. They point blank refused, threatened legal action and then took it a step further by banning you for questioning NB at the Q&A. Why were/are they so hostile towards the trust? Just what have they got to hide? No professional sports team in the UK has ever taken the stance that the Panthers took. So, any action the fans take now - constructive or otherwise - the club deserve. Unfortunately, the reality is that nothing will change, it's a closed shop. For every person/couple/family that rebel and don't renew their ST's, it seems that there are plenty of 'newbies' waiting in the wings to take the place. It's cyclical, only when the cycle stops will they take notice; and/or, if there is a change in the Senior Management team at the club.

It looks like all us fans can do is actually near to nothing!! just bide our time til season ticket renewal time and vote with your wallet. Just noticed that Forest have sacked their coach / manager for a number of bad results and languishing in mid-table - oops.

Just noticed that Forest have sacked their coach / manager for a number of bad results and languishing in mid-table - oops. without going off topic too much this is one of the major problems with football. Forest have sacked their manager but the next one will inherit the same set of players. There’s a mentality in football that bringing a new manager in will bring instant success, but it doesn’t, managers/coaches need time to build a team rather than inheriting a poor one and trying to work wonders. Now when you’re in our situation where a coach has been given time and there have been more failures than victories in the league then I believe the coach’s position can rightfully be questioned.

I'd say either just give up and stop going or get involved with your Supporters Trust and try to help make some positive changes.

Nowt. Eventually spiral down from passionate interest and support into realisation and apathy until the point iv'e now reached (which I never thought I would) where I only go if I get a free ticket and barely manage to clap when we score.
Such a shame and I know i'm not alone. Sport really shouldn't be like this....

Things will only change when the bottom line takes a hit.

Things will only change when the bottom line takes a hit. I'd think he prefers a casual, to someone like Rob. One's a troublemaker, the other won't demand a thing, other than being able to drink their bodyweight in overpriced beer. Fortunately for Neil that seems to be the direction of travel for the fanbase.

Stop going. The current product is not worth the entrance fee.

Saturday night casuals far outweigh dedicated supporters these days so you stop going it won't matter much as the casuals turn up no matter how the team perform. The pitfalls of having a city centre venue !! Like I've been saying the last 15 years!! Peppa pig could market the Panthers in that arena and get good crowds!

Seeing as their are 2500 - 3000 season ticket holders Pidge I doubt the casuals far outweigh the regulars. Casual fans would be those who go only occasionally,otherwise they’d be called regulars.

Oooo look what's popped up again.
People do realise that those of us on The Cage represent about 0.01% of Panthers fans right?
Most don't come on here anymore because it's mainly full of poo poo.

As of this morning only 1500 tickets remained for the game on Saturday .. yeah attendances are really struggling
