GTST - The Next Chapter

Quoted from barralad

That's the issue isn't it. It takes a "someone". Not you by the sound of it and to be honest I don't blame you. It would take a tremendous amount of work setting up something from scratch.

Quoted from Drinkells Boot

But not everyone likes the current GTST chair. You would be the most popular choice Tarka. If the trust are to be taken seriously there needs to be a total regime change.

Quoted from TWAreaTownSupporter

It's not a business so why are the words "customer service" relevant?

Quoted from 1600

Shedloads of reasons I've already stated.

- Very inconvenient for me to change my plans - not even sure I could make it before the game. [How do you think others manage? Fucksake, some people travel from 100 miles away to be at those meetings]
- Don't know where the meeting is, no public announcement. [Have you lost the ability to read? It's been plastered all over this MB. I can find it and I'm an old IT illiterate fart. You're just making pathetic excuses.]
- Already thought of loads of ideas(no-one else has been willing to reply let alone discuss them) [Go to the effing meeting you nonce and talk about them.]
- No-one else has thought of any other ideas in advance to make us better prepared. [Then seize the initiative at the meeting and wow everyone with your plans. What is there to lose?]
- Haven't seen any pre-meeting agenda. [Make the agenda up when you get there? Or do you need an authority figure to tell you what to do all the time?]
- Don't see why we're being put out when we can do it all on here. If we can't make it to our computers why are we be expected to make it elsewhere ? [You've obviously no experience of dealing with complicated issues if you think you can do it via a message board. Besides, what about the people who don't uyse this or any MB, or even have a computer? Come back when you have thought things through properly.]
- Haven't agreed GTST should "facilitate" or "be in control" of the meeting. [What you haven't "agreed"? If you don't like it then don't "farckin cam".
- Everything about the meeting has seemingly been "decided upon" without a vote. [Tell us. Tell us what's been decided? Save everyone the time and effort of going and tell us what's been decided?]
- I'm a potential customer, not a GTST footsoldier. [GTST isn't looking for customers. Members yes. Customers, no. It isn't a business. I suggest you use some of your IT skills to do some research on supporters trusts and the co-operative movement]
- Don't particularly want to be stuck in a room full of Fentyites for no apparent reason.

Quoted from 1600

Read my lips.
I CAN'T MAKE IT SATURDAY, I CAN'T MAKE IT ANY DAY (except when the footy is on because I get a lift with someone and they've got their own commitments)

I might at a massive push be able to put myself through a load of hassle and incur excessive travel costs just to get there early and attend someone elses meeting I don't see the point to and mix with some people I particularly don't like- but it's highly improbable I would in any case even if I wanted to !

If that's all ok with you  ?

Quoted from 3622

Of course it should be treated like a business.
Don't you want it to attract as much revenue as possible ?  

We shouldn't be suprised - we all know GTST aren't readily willing to accept 500,000 worth of shares so no suprises there !

PS If you're gonna dicredit your self and act like a child by abusing me blah blah blah, no-one will believe you blah blah blah.  

Quoted from 1600

That's pretty much EXACTLY what I said !  
And I got slagged off left right and centre for daring to criticize when I was only trying to improve things for the supporters benefit !  
And people then wonder why people aren't willing to put themselves out or dig into their own pocket to massive inconvenience to themselves.
I'm afraid you just can't win sometimes...
