In general the Chairman of football clubs do not like the fans, but they tolerate them because they need them. The last thing they want is supporters being organised in a united group. G.C. must be chuckling to himself when he hears about supporters arguing amongst themselves. I propose that the S.A.,the Trust and the Friends group get together A.S.A.P and hammer out a common approach in dealings with the current owners of the club.

And not before time. But will it happen given the huge gulf between certain key members of this board and certain key members of 1908.
I'm sure the majority of fans want an end to this squabbling like children whether they believe everything GC is telling us or not. Surely it's better to find some common ground and provide a United front than to continue as it is now. Or is it about certain people's ego.

It won't happen as long as the friends group continue their vitriolic and stupid campaign against other groups.

GeoffcN · **Joined:** Fri Sep 26, 2014 8:10 pm **Posts:** 463

But that works both ways.

This board has a far more grown up attitude. Have a look at the other place's posts over the last few days.

I feel for Ron Harnish, being in the middle of all this, but I can't think of anyone else who could get people round the table.

I think that stopping having pops at journalist Nick L for trying to do a good job amongst all of this would be a pretty good start and show a bit of willing not to carry on any daft arguing.

Serious question. Why would two reputable organisations with hundreds of members want to unite with a loose collection of individuals whose only motive would appear to be the creation of an organisation ( if you can call it that ) whose sole intention is to take the opposite stance taken by The Trust on every matter.

I read both boards and let's be clear here, one seems to hate the other with a passion bordering on obsession. The attacks are relentless, there was another one last night which was juvenile in the extreme and named two regulars of this board as enemies of the club that needed to be outed.

In my opinion you cannot reason with these sort of individuals and I have known some of them for a long time so can confidently say that they won't change their behaviours

^This 100%!!!!^

There is absolutely no way I would sit down with the half dozen from the other board. It's time I can spend doing something far more important. Their constant abuse over the past 18 months along with their incessant shit stirring has gone way too far down the road for me and last night they finally came clean about their feelings.

That loose organisation may as well be called 'stop the trust'

MutleyRules · **Posted:** Sun Feb 05, 2017 2:56 pm

I find it hilarious how they call a truce every couple of weeks and it lasts less than 24 hours!!!! :laugh:

I am just guessing here but am I correct in thinking a meeting isn't happening anytime soon!

Mr Irrelevant · **Joined:** Thu Aug 17, 2006 8:25 pm **Posts:** 22671

And for my part, I never even put myself forward for Chairman of the Trust let alone the club!

I have said this before but i'll say it again. Just ignore them.
The Trust is open to ALL Pools fans. These people have chosen not to join which is their right, why can't we just leave it at that. They amount to a mere handful, not worth bothering about.
They'll soon get fed up.
OR
They'll carry on whilst they know people are prepared to give their drivel any sort of attention.
Is there anybody who doesn't understand that?????????????

I have read their recent comments which are appalling, so too are the references to the Bunker Trust. Ronnie Harnish must be tearing his hair out. However the abuse and name calling DO work both ways.
Perhaps it's time for a new board. The"I'm concerned about the future of the club but want to put my efforts into supporting the team" board. The extreme positions of some on both boards are getting tedious in the extreme.

There may be light at the end of the tunnel as GC has reached out to a few people today privately. Hopefully this can bring some clarity and trust.

Really hope so.

I know you ignore them Chip. I am appealing to the ones who don't. From what I can gather from reading the various posts there seems to be a hardcore of six people on this other board. They need to be denied credibility.

I've never attempted to find this other board nor any facebook groups. I struggle to keep up with all the shite the Bunker regulars post.

I've not had any contact from Mr Coxall but he'd be wasting his time, I have lost all faith in the guy. Hopefully said contact is with HUST with a view to giving them all his shares before fecking off.

Mr Irrelevant · **Joined:** Thu Aug 17, 2006 8:25 pm **Posts:** 22671

He's promised to answer questions frankly 1-2-1. Let's see what it brings. I have to give him respect for the direct contact and offer.

pooliecrab · **Joined:** Tue Dec 16, 2014 9:31 pm **Posts:** 6028

Answering questions frankly? He's not had opportunity to do that previously I suppose. Certainly not Friday night.

He should have a meeting with a couple of members from each relevant group. Hopefully people will be calmer in person and everyone will see everyone else wants the same as they do.

There's another board?

Good stuff John and fair play to Mr Coxall.

He still has time to win everyone over and this can be a good start. It's very easy winning over dumb people who will simply agree with everything you say and ask no questions. It's obvious your an intelligent man and will ask relevant questions so again fair play to Coxall.

Funny enough, and even though I'm well out of practice with teaching this stuff, I have undertaken to teach a bit of Salsa and Bachata a couple of my missus's friends in preparation for a wedding do. Obviously I'll have to get very well moisturised first.

The Colonel · **Joined:** Mon Aug 21, 2006 8:49 am **Posts:** 4891

Well at least you and the chairman can get us all on some accord.

Even if you end up dancing with him.

You just need to make sure that we stay at Vic Park and wipe the slate clean.

And it won't work if the likes of you go from board to board antagonizing and winding people up.

Aye, you're right. I take full responsibility. Sorry.
