I will be there, I'd love to find out how the supporters can have more involvement and how we can turn things round. It is no good carrying on racking up debts all the time, you need to address things properly, if that means we drop down for a few years but can come back stronger than we need to do that.

There will be 4 of us in my party - i expect a big turn up ... This is important as the deadline for anybody willing to put in (and the willing part is subject to a few answers we may not get!!?? ) is the end of January...

We are not looking to establish a Supporters Trust as a mechanism to take over the Club. Its intended to be a means of improving communication between fans and the Board and aiming to achieve ST reprentation on the Board of the Club.

More information will be available on the 18th but I don't want people to see this as a propsed take over of the Club.

What happens in the fullness of time remains to be seen.

I am not saying that I want this to happen, and I do not want admin to be forced on the club. All I am saying is that if this were to happen we wou;d need to move quickly to make sure that we manage to play the start of this season! I just think it would be worth having some form of a plan in place if it did need to happen.

I live 250 miles away now, and currently cannot afford to give £1000 to a company that I feel will not exist soon, so my funds are worthless, but any expertise I can help with I will offer.

I hope to be at the meeting but it depend what time I finish work (in Birmingham).
I just wanted to ask how the meeting will be publicised to supporters who don't come on this forum so that the attendance can be maximised and we get a true picture of the level of concern/support.

The facebook comment is a valid one, and should be given some thought, a very good way of getting peoples attention.
