Am I Right To Be Worried Or Am I Paranoid?

What happened to the money raised from the streaming donations? There was supposed to be an explanation after the just giving page was closed, has anyone seen anything.

Has anyone seen or heard an explanation as to why Mike Warner and others are allowed in the ground to watch games?

The Chairman said from the get go we should trust The Trust and that they would be open with the fans.

Unless anyone knows any different (and I'm happy to be proven wrong) I've not heard anything regarding the above.

Paranoid I hope

However it would be nice to find out the wider financial relationship between the club and trust

Accentuate th Positive, eliminate the negative

Can I ask? No malice intended btw.
But what does it matter if Warner is watching the matches? The government state that we can't go but there's obviously an allowance for other people to be going in, so why have you got to know why Mike Warner can sit in the stands and watch the match?

Life goes on. Whatever happens.

I presume you saw the reply I had from the Trust which I copied into a previous thread.

Why should he (and others) be allowed and I'm not? If there is a valid reason then it should be shared. I've asked the club 3 times but heard absolutely nothing. I think supporters have a right to know that's all.

What did they say?

I see no reason at all why Warner should have the opportunity to attend.
But then again I see no reason why Croot should have got the CEO gig.
Mind he appears to have as much to say now as he did under Allen."Nowt"

So much for transparency and trust which is what the Trust promised. The latter, which the Trust asked for, follows the former and, despite being positive about the takeover and new regime I am somewhat underwhelmed by the communications by the club whetherformally or informally. Now is the time for maximum openness and transparency to not lose a generation of supporters.

Sorry my big finger negged you . Should have been green. Why should any supporter be allowed in that’s not actually in the employ of the club. I’m also worried like others on here that the just giving page might be benefitting the charity and not CFC. I donated my money to this Page thinking it was directed primarily at CFC.

I can only think they've had a shed load of offline donations as well and they are collating it all together.

Isn't warner still a (minority) shareholder and therefore a part owner?

What about Dean Newman and his son? Allegedly they were there too.

If Mike Warner does still part own the club, that's the first I've heard of it. A bit of clarity would nip this in the bud.

Does Dean's company still sponsor one of the stands?

Anyone seen a business plan yet? I hate to be a stuck record but have been asking since the Trust announced they were interested in taking over, and at every point I've been told it's coming soon... haven't seen anything yet. I am also beginning to worry that we don't have one.

I don't know. Are sponsors allowed to go to games? I don't know what the rules are hence why I asked for some clarity.

You could try ringing them up. It's a bit odd to complain about lack of communication when you do your own communicating with them by posting on here.

I wrote to the club. I never assume anyone from the club reads this messageboard.
