John I get where you are coming from but surely an "open" meeting where potential new members can come along to join is a little naive of a board member to request what goes on at the shay stays at the shay....?? You seriously expect all in attendance to not discuss what was mentioned out and about or in a pub...?? Or is this another case of the club sharing info with the Trust board to keep them onside..?? If the latter is the case this was one of my major gripes as you know and how the club in my opinion tries to control the trust. If it's good enough to tell the trust it's good enough to tell all supporters in my humble opinion. At a time when a huge wedge could potentially come between the club and it's supporters due to the poor communication many feel the club is currently guilty of the trust has a huge part to play and impartiality is essential....
Chris wrong and wrong, this was a members meeting and Mike very kindly came along to try clarify things regards the rent but due to the nature of the negotiations with the Council he asked that what was said was not broadcast. Of course those who attended and it was not just the Board may repeat things but I am not going to betray Mike and put it on this message board.
Hardly the club controlling the Trust in my book, rather the club trying to put their side of things.
