If you have ordered a hoodie and haven't paid for it yet then please do so.
Please use your name as the reference for the transfer.
If you would rather pay cash I can arrange to meet you before the game on Saturday.

Hoodies should be in by the end of next week.
We'll be aiming to do a mass hand out in the Bunkers before the Coventry game.
Will confirm details next week.

As an outside party in this with no real vested interest either way right now in how this venture turns out (still open to being swayed one way or the other mind you), do you really think this kind of article is good for the image of 'The Trust'? Don't get me wrong playing the victim card is smart as trying to garner sympathy is never a bad way to get people on board when trying to acheive something, but it just seems a bit whingey. Also: "It feels like the club are trying to make it difficult for us to get the Trust going and advertise what it’s all about" Do you know what it's all about yet? All that's currently out there is the very vague: "1.1 To be a unified voice for the fans; 1.2 To promote closer ties between the club and its supporters through regular dialogue" on the Twitter bio and from what I've read (and been told on here in this very thread I believe, not scrolling back to find it though) it seems any specific 'aims' are what will be sorted at this big meeting that's coming up determining whether this is actually going ahead or not. I understand why you've taken the shot at the club you have there but it's not really a justified one.

It is a justified shot at the club though NYR,because at present the club are refusing to engage with the Trust in pretty much any way,when what they should be doing is engaging with their fans. Having said that,the article is a sure fire way to make sure it stays that way,knowing how the club usually react to any sort of criticism. The club are not obliged to attend any meetings or send any representatives and Mr Black stated they would not be doing so. All he did was waffle on about "fan passion" and avoided the question expertly. However,whilst i am all in favour of closer ties between club and fans,if the clubs stance is that they won't engage,one has to ask.....what's the point of the Trust when you may as well try to talk to a brick wall ?

No, specific aims won't be agreed at this meeting. The Trust, should it be formed, will have to work out what causes it's for based on what its membership tells it. But clearly it won't be able to do that until it formally exists. The Trust will be the vehicle to carry the message, from fans to club. Although I agree with every word Rob said in the BIH article, and think that Gary & Neil would rather stick pins in their eyes than engage with the plebs, I probably agree that it would've been better to maintain the high ground at this stage.

I think some of it is justified, just not that specific part of it. I don't think the club being like a brick wall makes this exercise pointless. It just requires a lot of patience and I'm just not sure that this particular article goes anyway towards bridging the gaps that do exist between cluib and fanbase (as you've said they don't take kindly to this sort of thing).

Appreciate that breakdown of how it's working, makes things clearer Most of it probably isn't far from the mark, but it would make a lot more sense to continue to play nice despite how frustrating I'm sure it has been so far. This kind of thing will just give the club the ammunation it needs (which isn't much I give you) to continue to do nothing with regards to The Trust.

Happy to have a chat with you either at a game of over the phone NYR.
The article is truthful and i believe illustrates why a trust is desperately needed for the fans of the Panthers.
Cheers

The bit about the club making it difficult for us to advertise was because of the fact that the club have contacted the arena to effectively ban us from doing the advertising which was part of our booking with the arena. We are still hoping to work with the club in the future but we have said from the very beginning that this will be a long difficult road. Everything the club have done so far indicates that they will avoid engagement for as long as they are able.

This is why we are aiming to establish a Supporters Trust rather than a Supporters CLub. We expected this stance from the club and unfortunately have been proven correct so far.

But Rob, You say they will avoid engagement "for as long as they are able",but even when the Trust gets legally set up,they still don't have to engage in any way at any time.
