93 -- I believe that you may have confused "the Club" with the Trust in your opening paragraph.  



I hold my hands up and apologise, it's been an a extremely long day.  I support the trust and appreciate their hard work, sorry if I have caused any offence to trust members.  I think I'll go to bed.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

It doesn't matter where or who the questions come from if they are relevant to key points about the club. When JF outed his good self on here he answered a variety of questions and dodged the questions he didn't like, just as most politicians do.  The 'that's the last word on the matter' being a prime example.

As it is, I am a nobody who JF doesn't have to answer to, just like the other nobodies who didn't turn up and ask questions.

I've only ever been to two fans forums, the last being when AB was in charge and if it wasn't for AB it would have been boring as hell.

Maybe the trust could collate some questions next time with a preview on here to generate more interest, because as it is, not many people are interested and not many people feel they will get answers.


Well they certainly won't get answers if they don't ask the questions! As far as I'm aware the Trust did collate the questionswhich came in which takes me back to my original point. This thread has nine pages which suggests there is some interest....


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

As one of the old buffoons who had the cheek to stand up and ask a question that had not been vetted by certain members of the Fishy,  who could not be bothered to either submit a question pre forum or turn up on the night I was disappointed with the turn out, but more than happy with the panels response and the Trust`s organisation

I think the answers that some people may have liked to have asked would have been pointless as they would not have been answered or seemed as sensible maybe?

ie;
Will Paul Hurst be replaced if we do not achieve promotion?    Would we have got anything other than a wishy washy answer regards he has the backing of the board, it would have to be reviewed, as long as we are seen to be progressing..etc etc  I want a yes or no answer to that question not a politician style non commital answer.

Why is Paul Bignot still employed by the club when he is never considered for a starting place under any circumstances? He is a good pro, ready to step in when we need him to, its a squad game and he is part of that squad, trains well....yawn..

I will never know the answers because ...yes..i never bothered asking the question in the first place as i can take an educated guess as those would be the responses given.

No doubt others feel the same.  

Not slagging off the concept overall as i think it is great the club give an access opportunity, just look at Hereford and others of late who dont have a clue who is actually in charge of the club and get threats if they question people motives.

We are lucky in that respect so while its good to have access if need be maybe previous events and non commital answers have dampened interest.

Do you think JF would say yes in front of PH when we are at the moment in a playoff place with a potential to get better, what answer would you expect to get from your employer if you went in to a meeting with a customer and they ask if you will be sacked if you don't achieve your task 100%. I would expect my managers backing until I have at least failed and not before.  

Why is Paul Bignot still employed by the club when he is never considered for a starting place under any circumstances? He is a good pro, ready to step in when we need him to, its a squad game and he is part of that squad, trains well....yawn..

Like it or not he is contracted to the club till the end of the season so if no one else wants him we are stuck till the contract expires or we pay him off. if he does not accept a lower payoff than his contract then we may as well keep him as backup

I will never know the answers because ...yes..i never bothered asking the question in the first place as i can take an educated guess as those would be the responses given.
