From CTWD statement about their re membership scheme: "For now, City Till We Die's main focus is the No To Hull Tigers campaign, but our longer-term aim is that City Till We Die will become an independent Supporters' Trust, with a view to one day part-owning the club." I ****ing knew it! All they want is enough shares to enable them to line their pockets with dividends! Don't fall for the facade.
At the meeting, AA told us he'd welcome fan involvement in the ownership of the club, so it's something we're investigating. The members will vote in all roles within the group, so they can vote out everyone currently involved should they wish, everyone should welcome this opportunity to get more involved with the running of the club.
You're rich enough. In te interests of the local community I think the homeless in the city should take it in turns being the board member for the season.
Assem Allam said when he bought the club said he wanted fans to own 60% of the shares. Why not have a read about what the Swansea City Supporters Trust have achieved. http://www.swanstrust.co.uk/default.aspx
Anyone can join, we expect fans from all over the globe to join up, we've had a lot of support from fans in the US, Asia and Brazil(there's actually a Brazilian fan club).
Doesn't it seem a conflict of interest - the CTWD do not represent all fans and have a very clearly defined agenda. This does not and should not be seen to represent all fans. However, I do applaud the idea of having a fan-owned part of the club and I also am against the name change, just feel this is completely and utterly the wrong way to go about it.
Serious question now, what happens about fan owned shares - dividends. Do the elected board members just get rich as ****?
In the short term, the campaign remains a one aim campaign. Longer term, it may develop into something else, in which case it's members will decide it's future.
