Timing of the Inagural Meeting

Following on from the discussion we had at the last meeting (Halfway). I now have serious reservations as to whether we should hold our Open Meeting before the end of this season.

I understand the need and desire to 'get things moving' as soon as possible, but due to the way things have turned out over the last three weeks in particular, I feel that to launch the Trust now could well be not far short of disastrous.

We would either face apathy from a lot of disgruntled fans, or, possibly worse, be seen as a possible vehicle for outright opposition to the mangement/coaching structure.

Therefore, far better IMO to plan well in the close season, and cash in on the inevitable bonhomie, and optimism of a new season with the return of Steve etc. as a catalyst.

I may well be wrong here, and the opposite could happen, and genuine fans could 'rally to the flag' in what some would percieve as a time of crisis.

Please Discuss.  

All things considered, I agree.

We can still do some planning over the summer despite the Open Meeting being launched to coincide with the season start.

Things should take shape a bit more after the meeting with Big Stu.

Exactly Mike, It should also give us time to make the arrangements as watertight as possible. I didn't mean in any way that our efforts should not continue, or even slow down in any way, simply that the response we could expect is far more likely to be positive at the start of a new season.
