    It's bit early for this, CTWD have not yet stated the aims of the trust, people really need to see what we propose, before they can decide if they support it or not. <doh>

    We need a fans voice, and they did well in the name change issue so I'll keep an open mind, but on what I've seen so far since then, I'd vote no.

    We have a supporters trust which is Tigers Co-op. Both Tigers Co-op and CTWD have voted to merge. Once they do the new supporters trust will be the only show in town. Hull City cannot have two supporters trusts.

    I voted yes, but CTWD may be finished as an organisation once it merges with the Tigers Co-op.

    It's not CTWD who use bully boy tactics and whatever, it's some of the people who follow it. Different things completely.

    I foresaw that the more aggressive anti allamists would be portrayed as the face of CTWD and drag opinion of the group down to their levels. I was ignored (hate to say I told you so).

    The folks on the committee did a Sterling job with the campaign. If the club was willing to listen to the group I don't think you could find a group of people do a much better job. I mean those people who actually matter with CTWD like OLM, Obi etc. not the keyboard renegades like Blampers and co.

    I wasn't expecting Sacchi and Sacchi slickness , but the public representatives of CTWD did a bloody good job at NOT coming over all militant , old and blinkered .

    so yeah i'll back em provided theres no mental proposals (though i expect the glassing rule to remain ) :D

    CTWD were very respectful and reserved in their output, your claim is complete nonsense.

    So your initial post was wrong then

    CTWD were actually very restrained and moderate in their actions and did a good job in the circumstances considering there were more militant individuals opposed to the name change

    If CTWD do merge with the Tigers Co-op as seems likely I would give it my full support.I am proud to have supported CTWD since it started and believe a supporters trust in some form would be a way forward for both club and supporters

    What is a supporters trust? What do they do?

    I don't take notice of this stuff, I just watch and support my team.

    This is a fairly good summary...

    In British sports, a supporters' trust is a formal, democratic and not-for-profit organisation of fans who attempt to strengthen the influence of supporters over the running of the club they support. There are over 140 supporters' trusts across England, Wales and Scotland and the majority of these are affiliated to football clubs, however trusts also exist for Rugby League and Rugby Union.

    With government and with cross-party support, Supporters Direct was established to encourage the formation of supporters' trusts to promote democratic supporter ownership. Supporters Direct encourages these bodies to be formed as Industrial and Provident Societies (IPSs) and assists with their formation, legal and start-up costs.

    Supporters' trusts were commonly founded in response to a financial crisis which threatens the future of a team, as was the case at Chesterfield, Lincoln City and York City. Their involvement has reportedly ensured the survival of over 20 different clubs entering into administration, particularly during the period of crisis as a result of the collapse of ITV Digital. Supporters' trusts are now more commonly founded in order to increase influence at clubs through a financial stake in the club.

    The first trust established was at Northampton Town in January 1992. The largest is the Manchester United Supporters Trust, which used to be known as Shareholders United and currently has over 200,000 members.[1] Other large trusts such as Leeds, Exeter City, Dundee United, Reading, Spurs and Glasgow Rangers have between 3,000 and 7,000 members.

    Is there any news on Lincoln City's trust? I believe there were legal issues pending a few weeks back?

    EDIT

    Just googled, and I can't even find the piece I'd read previously. Sounds like it's sod all.

    They've had some problems, I think they found a load of money had gone missing last December and the board members were subject to hate campaign on social media and by email and seven of them(including the chairman) resigned. I'm not sure what the score is now.

    There have been a few supporters trusts that have had issues, each is only as good as the individuals involved in running it, Swansea is probably the best model.
