GAS Board or Trust Scrutiny plus Supporters Umbrella Group?

[TCM]

By it's very nature, a Supervisory board set up at the instigation of the owner of the club is going to struggle to be anything like truly independent.

The Trust, in terms of questioning the owner is also unlikely to be independent due to so many of the same people being involved with the trust and the CP'ers. Most of Pasoti also seems to fall into the "Brent can do no wrong" camp.

If supporters (not just those who post on internet fan sites) want a group to represent them/scrutinize the actions of then club than a truly
"Independent Supporters Group" set up and run without any involvement of Club, Trust, Internet geeks etc. would be required.

I agree entirely with the highlighted section of Grovehills post (not commenting on the rest), and that is why I believe the only way forward is with a strong Trust, despite the recent problems. The GAS board will never properly represent the fans in the way a Fans Trust will.

why would the gas board need to represent the fans?,,,it would be there to observe and report back......the trust can represent,,,

Forgive me - the whole process leaves me cold - but is there anywhere that contacts for the Gas Board are published so that a fan can make comments or get specific feed-back (other than the Tryst)?

Not quite sure that the word Tryst fits Mark!

As of yet, no. In fact as far as I'm aware, the group of us that are helping to set up the Board haven't even shared contact details. Unless they have, & I've been left out of course....

Adds a bit of colour though!!

Obviously it's all a "work in progress" still. I'll dip in again when it's all a bit clearer.

It did make me laugh out loud....

The GASB is still in the "planning" stage at the moment.

The provisional timetable is for elections to be held by September and for the GASB to be operational by October.

Fans can make comments on, errr, well, here

The clue is in the name "Green Army Supervisory Board"

At the Cheltenham match each fan will get a newsletter with news and progress of the GB.

I think most of the regular attenders would be happy to answer any question on here.
