Has your 7 days solicitor thing elapsed yet Rob ? It's either Tuesday or Wednesday next week. It's not trust related though.

Anybody know what the position is regarding new board members? Any applicants etc.? Have looked on the Trust website, but it doesn't seem to have been updated for ages.

I feel it is a shame as the Trust was set up with the best will in the world, but the attitude of the club to it has doomed it to failure. Rob is to be applauded for all his efforts but he obviously now has other issues to deal with, and since he relinquished his involvement, the impetus appears to have gone. I hope not, but I think the idea has sadly run it's course

Well I've put my name forward and I'd imagine some of the interim guys will put their names forwards for elections. I'm sure once the names for the ballot are decided an update will go up.

Yes I think the fact that even after Rob left the Trust, the club will still not engage with the Trust,which shows that it is the Trust that the club “really” have a problem with. Seems to me that Rob was just a convenient tool the club disgracefully used to their advantage.

A reminder that if you are thinking of getting involved in the Trust we are having an informal meeting for you to come and have a chat tonight before the Caps game. 6 - 7 upstairs at the Bunkers.
Thank you

My big concern about the Supporters Trust at the moment is the clear lack of people prepared to put their heads above the parapet - there are obviously a few who will give their names to their comments but others are under the guise of "NIHST Communications" etc. - After what happened to Rob and the clubs attitude to the ST I can understand this, but think it may put a few people off getting involved due to possible consequences by the club management -

My personal take/understanding at the moment.
Rob was the main driver of the trust.
The club had no intention of interacting with the trust.
The trust believe that if formally set up(all legal recognition etc) then the club have to interact. Whatever the problems are that has proved difficult.
The club went after Rob to cut off the head of the trust.
The trust has struggled to at least publically show progress since Rob was removed from position.
Even now the club are unlikely to interact with the trust unless legally required.
The board struggle to find a new chair.
So, the only way the club will interact with the trust is when they have to by law. Is there chance Rob can run for Chairman again? It was his baby (with great support from others) and he was the main driving force. The club wont engage the trust either way. If they had to legally then they'd have to legally engage with Rob unless they can prove reasons why not too?
Of course it very much sounds like the whole thing has left Rob very soured by it all so can't fault him for being disengaged.
For what it's worth he'd have my vote.

The club is a private limited company and as such do not legally have to engage in any way. Whoever was chairman they were never going to engage and were always going to hide behind the private limited company thing. The Trust should have done their homework but didn’t and unfortunately paid the price. Think about it,if you owned a limited company, any company and a bunch of your workforce and others suddenly wanted into your company affairs,what would you do.
In Panthers case,they should interact more,but I can see or understand at least partly why they haven’t in this instance.

The issue was a confusion between what football dictates and applying that to I've Hockey erroneously. In football, clubs are compelled to talk, but that is enforced by the FA which is pressured by the government. No such requirement or enforcement exists within hockey. Although in Panthers instance, all I want is communication, I don't want to run the club and get into affairs. I want to be able to turn those boos at the end of bitter Sheffeld defeats, grumbles and moans about concession prices, the fact that people are just not bothering with their season tickets, and communicate that in a constructive way. That's still the only way I think things can get better.

What’s happening at the moment, Kiev?
Do the Trust still have enough interested folk to form a board and run it?

If you've got the desire to make a difference, stand up and join in. The more interaction from members and the fan base, the better the Trust can function. There should (hopefully) be some news and initiatives coming out soon.

Nottingham Forest have announced that they have signed a Memorandum if Understanding with the Nottingham Forest Support Trust and said that....
“We believe that we are merely custodians of the club, which is rooted in its fan base and local community. We have already created close links with the Supporters Club, Forza Garibaldi and others to ensure fans are being consulted on the issues that impact them.”
Well done to the club and the trust.
