Why do we need clicks? At FiD we provide content to fans free of charge with any money made through events etc either used to cover costs or given to charity. It's up to people whether or not they listen.

Where have I ever said I'm not happy with the current set up? I think the ownership has done wonders for the club and local area but there are times I disagree with some decisions, same as I disagreed with some of those made by the WST and was very vocal about it. I'd apply scrutiny equally regardless of who was in charge.

Good for you. You keep scrutinising. Personally I'm more interested in who will be our wing backs today and whether or not MG can commentate without sticking a Mr Kipling down his gob.

Each to their own. I'm able to enjoy the football whilst doing so as well. Crazy really.

Can I ask what the £187000 will be used for? And why there is a £1000 per year payment also required?

Surely once this is signed over the WST won’t have any further purpose.

It's to pay back all those who put up money to save the club

Hopefully they kept everyone's details from 2011 ?

It’s literally all explained in the documentation. Read it.

Does this mean I will get my Xmas raffle tickets refunded?

No. It just means it can't be their official home ground.

Mistakes were made in the past which were costly, but there was an enormous amount of good work carried out, much at no cost to the club or the fans and we are now in a different era where the fans may have a voice but limited control of the club.

It will always be difficult fir a large collective of fans to all pull in the same direction, gor an extended period, whatever the group is called, or if anyone has any problems with the people on the current Trust Board, but with nigh on 1,000 members, it's a good place to start.

Basically the 187000, is that the money the WST never returned to fans for the bond?

I’d say shut the whole thing down personally they have no power, they’ve also lost the support of pretty much the whole fan base i for one would rather fans in the stands and an owner actually capable of running the club.

It’s a football club and should be measured on the football, not all secondary stuff which was all the members we’re talking about at meetings.

There’s no place for what the WST became at any football club, the good work you speak of did come at a cost to the football club it’s what most of you cannot understand and that’s not a dig dave. It’s a football club which results are measured on the football not the “good work” in the community if that’s what you think a football club should be …. We would have gone under. Over 3 million in transfer revenue made no difference, 10+ managers in 9 years was it …. The entire wst era was a disaster.

The club is still doing community work, the players still get involved in the community and the football club is running as a football club.

The wst have no place in the club because they don’t deserve one.

Largely yes - they have been issuing refunds for a long time now but evidently not everybody has taken their cash back out:
