Yes times are hard for all fans especially Trust members who are all committed to supporting the Club as they did last year by raising £25,000 again , which will help Karl enormously in runing the Under 23s .
I cannot praise fans enough for the support they have given us and the fans who went the extra mile and joined the Trust have been tremendous. Like the Club with their season ticket holders we are always looking at how we can give Trust members a bit of an incentive for being a member and one of the things was to invite along guests to meetings which of course members attend free.
We opened it up to non members as we thought it would be a good way of encouraging fans to be more involved and join the Trust which is only £10 for the year. However we did not make it compulsary to make a member to come along and I for one do not think a small charge for the entrance is too much to ask £2 is cheaper than a pint of beer.
To expect a small group of people to raise £25,000 in a short time again without doing this type of event and charging is just too much to ask and as people have the choice to contribute or not I`m sorry I`ll have to disagree with you on this one.
