yes you mentioned several times 

I'm really not sure why you would post something so antagonistic. It adds nothing to any debate.

Point being, the Committee do not, and have never balloted the membership for their strategic decisions. Current said strategy being 'critical friends' of the club. So flip it round and they no longer want to be friends, as they are instead asking for Swag's removal, presumably they won't be asking the membership about it first...

I understand your point and you want a say in the strategy of the WATR group.

What going to be achieve by that vote? 

The Trust officially taking a stance on what is happening. Drum up some more attention to what's happening here. There has to be a point at which they say enough.

I've no idea what the trust's position is, they've bemoaned the small membership in the past yet there is no democratic involvement with the small membership that currently exists.

The Trust - as far as I can tell - is just a vehicle for their board members to participate in a shadow board. Which is appropriate, as they both do fuck all to help.

Honestly, never underestimate people’s need to feel important.

Even them pulling back their presence on here is piss poor TBH.

I know there's some real effort put in by some of the folk involved but there's absolutely no engagement with the membership.

Agreed.

Ive not been asked my stance once I don't think.

Time for BRFCs to make a Rovers Trust that holds the club to account.

So despite assurances it looks fairly certain there'll be no backing for the manager this window and that yet another golden opportunity has gone begging.

Furthermore the current approach of selling off any talent and not reinvesting any of the proceeds in the playing side is obviously not sustainable for much longer and frankly I feel we are one poor managerial appointment away from oblivion.

Is it not time for the Trust to ballot its members on re-evaluating its stance towards the Club?

That won’t be done until it’s all too late.
