Martin scott must ne wondering what he ever did wrong compared to now.

Yet we hounded him out of town.

Whats changed?

Normally yes, but you can't protest to someone who isn't there. You also need people who could be influenced or uncomfortable with a protest against them, so that's a waste of time.
Thing is, everyone has woken up too late, we're nearly at the terminus and our mythical bus really is driving itself, there's just vapours left in the tank as the fuel was siphoned off.

It'd be pointless. Shithouses like coxall don't care what people think. He's already been bankrupt once, no doubt people lost money yet he racks up and starts again. JPNG face liquidation, people will lose their jobs and money, he's still twattering on like everything's fine.

Then there's pools. Club stripped to its bones, money borrowed for pie in the sky projects. It's fucking shameful and this guy has no shame.

I would type more but I'm so angry right now it wouldn't make any sense.

We really should have tried to tell people sooner.

If it's pointless protesting then we need to get more and more in the supporters trust. A lot of the ones who have defended the owners appear to have their confidence waivering, so use this horrific situation as an opportunity to get more on board.

Also do we know if this Andy Bell is a member of the trust? Sounds like someone who could be helpful to have on board.

In terms of protest, would need to be savvy around it for it to make a difference, and still be in a way of supporting the team for 90 minutes as the only (slim) chance we have of staying up is having the crowd full support behind them

I am tempted to put ib a laughing smilie there. But its just sad.

In response to mr is post

How many have joined the trust Mr I?

I'm sure there'll be more when the time comes - just a shame they aren't in the trust already.

Do we know if he's even a creditable person?

People need to tread carefully around this, anyone could have wrote that post apart from the stuff about him introducing possible investors to Coxall he's said nothing we don't already know. Surely we'd have heard of a Hartlepool based football agent before now?

I can understand why you're doing it but I don't think posts like that help, you've done this from the start. It's literally only a handful of people who have been opposed to it from the start at the end of the day.

The trust in time will grow, and if the worst thing happens it will rapidly the most important thing now is that it's place.

It's been frustrating PJ. It's been clear for the best part of a year that they were up to no good. Some of us highlighted it, in fact shouted from the rooftops but you had people with a petty agenda from day one. Even now, Leeds Poolie is claiming it can't be done in because he was once involved in a small trust that failed.

Let me let you into a little secret Mr Lewis. All the following are Trust run clubs; Accrington, Wycombe, Swansea, Newport, Dundee, Wrexham, Exeter Wimbledon. Or if you want to get silly about it, Bayern Munich and every other league club in Germany bar one or how about Barcelona?

The difference between success and failure of a Trust run club is the skills and quality of the people doing the running. Maybe Leeds Poolie's trust failed simply didn't have the skills or weren't up to the job. Thats not an insult. If you don't have the right people in the right jobs then of course it would go tits up. Also, perhaps you didn't have a big organisation behind you and maybe you couldn't call on instant support from other Trust run clubs up and down the country for advise.

Incidentally I'm not particularly referencing myself there but there are plenty of people in the town who run successful businesses so the skill sets are there. We already have around 250 members and that will doubtless increase now most people have woken up. The measure of Supporters Direct is 10% of the typical attendance equates to a mandate so we're not far short.

I also keep seeing comments from the uninformed about 'who would buy the club' and you have to put £1m a year in. This is utter tosh! Pools can be self sufficient as long as we're not paying big salaries to the undeserving off the field.

I will absolutely guarantee you that the town would rally round a club that is completely open and does the best that it can. That best may not be league one but at least everyone would feel part of it because they would be. Every trust member owns one share in anything the trust owns.

The most likely scenario is that the owners will either walk away or the club goes into administration. I suspect that Gary Coxall is on the verge of offing and his big announcement that he keeps talking about is that he's sold the club to Sage or some other outfit.

Beware Greeks bearing gifts.

Spot on Mr I, all of the above and I think you have every right to make the comments you made above as well. If people can't see the light now thy never will. I keep reading that people won't support a Phoenix club if needed either. Really don't get that one, surely they support THEIR local club not the current owners and if so if it was a fans run club wouldn't that be even better (and honest) as you say above

Mr I I've already had loads of people come up to me today n ask about joining the trust

We should throw LEGO onto the pitch, see if they can make fuckin houses out of that

If coxall turns up can we throw breeze blocks at him?

There's more chance of hat cam man turning up.

Coxall is too busy working on plans, deals, announcements, Dave Jones contract etc....

He's been on hold for weeks to the suppliers of the 'new turnstiles.'

I've had my haircut in protest so I can no longer film games in my top knot.
