More anti trust songs being sung at South SHields?

Oh dear. Oh very dear me.

Who are these people?

It's seems very ridiculous, and incredibly thick. Do they even know what a supporters trust is? We must have the only fans dense enough in country to have factions who are 'anti trust'.

I wasn't at the game but got a text on Saturday from somebody who said that they heard anti-trust songs. Only at Pools this sort of shite would happen.

Well why would you be surprised, to many people the trust is synonymous with this board and this board is well known for its often unwelcoming nature to those not in the "clique" and has rubbed many people the wrong way through its attitude over the years.

You can hardly act like a bunch of bounders when it suits you and be surprised when people let you know how they feel, however indirectly or misguided.

If you want to know the funny part... at least one of them is actually a trust member.

Work that one out.

A trust member sang anti trust songs?

So we're all one big happy clique on the Bunker.
Riiiiiight.

The trust idea was originally floated by the guy who runs this gaff in partnerhsip with people on the facebook page and another forum.

Once again, who is the clique? Whose in it?

No one even knows.

Is that a serious post!?

A message board has a bad attitude?

Shape up Bunker!!!! It is very unwelcoming as well, it's often very standoffish when first log in you barely get a civil word before its had a cup of Coffee.

What has that got to do with a supporters trust?

Utterly unbelievable.

I think you need to read it again PJ.

I don't. What you're alluding is correct and why these people are obviously signing these daft songs, but it doesn't make it any less ridiculous or embarrassing does it?

A few have had runs in on the Internet over the years with certain people who POST on the Bunker. It they can't separate the two then they really are stupid. Painfully so. Oh and as for directing this at The Trust signing songs about when they should be supporting the team? Words fail me.

it beggars belief.

And I had better be in this clique.

And rumor has it that what happened on Saturday was a lot worse than just singing anti trust songs. A LOT WORSE.

Happens at every away game - tied into a song with the hook 'this is what it's like to be small' - which just about sums up why the club has found itself in the conference after years of behaving like an amateur football club. Just like a fair portion of its fans.

So the board members who have no affiliation with any board and there are 6 of them, deserve to be abused because they sit on a fans trust with 4 that do and none of the 4 hold Chairman or Vice chair!
The people who are there in case it goes tits up?
The ones who give up their spare time every week?

Probably the same group of doyles who stormed the pitch after Rodney's second goal against Donny last season...

Also hearing there were many witnesses to it as well, incl one or two who will probably be denying anything was said, and worse.

I am pretty angry about what I have been told about saturday, and I wont be putting the details on here, or anywhere else for that matter.

I mentioned starting a trust about 12 years ago after helping Darlington set up a disabled supporters group. I was totally slated by people on this board many who are now part of the trust so why was this idea wrong then but right now?

The relevence to this thread is what?

And what has the Trust got to do with this place?

This place has a history of slaughtering everyone and everything. All in the name of comedy.

So get it some dont.

So whats your point?

My point is a trust scenario was put forward but not looked at then suddenly its the in thing by the way I have a very good sense of humour but that was not your so called comedy

OK I will humour you.

Twelve years ago was 2005. Did anyone in the world think we needed a trust then?

Apart from you?

Times change, things change. And fuck me, a lot has changed.

That just about answers you.

Now answer my question. What did your post have to do with this thread?

Unless you are implying t was OK for certain people to sing anti trust songs?

And I do hope you realise that this place only started in 2005, and for about 6 months had about 20 members.

So was this awful slagging off you received on the Bunker then?

12 years ago we were at cardff, a supporters trust probably wasnt at the forefront of peoples thoughts, tons of clubs hadnt even been using them and it wasnt as common place is it is now.

Well done for thinking of it.

That doesnt mean though one isnt needed now just because someone said we didnt need one in 2005.

Your point hasnt much relevance if im honest, and thats putting it kindly.

I have just checked all of his posts on here which go back to 2007.

He does mention the trust on a post back then.

It was this one:

The Dogs Trust at Sadberge near Darlington they are great, we have had three dogs from there.

So I'm having my posts looked now well don't worry I've had enough of this board time to move on

You don't want anyone to look at your posts??

Sorry i just looked at yours, that ok?

I look at yours anytime behan is mentioned tbh.

...and Scott Flinders....and Chus Turner ad he's my dad

The chants were going on for much of the last twenty minutes of the match and when we were waiting to be let out of the ground. Can’t understand it at all. Shouts of ‘F*ck the Trust’ at the end of each chant too.

I can understand people being sensitive about having had a rude brush off in here in the past and having a chip on the shoulder about it. However turning this Chip on the shoulder into outright hostility, aggression and anger towards people putting time, money and effort for the love of the club is disgusting.

From what I’ve heard about Saturday these people are utter pondlife who actually have no place in society. It seems anger, violence and aggression is deemed acceptable and a point of fun for some people.

Main one was something like... ‘This is what it feels like to be Darlo, this is what it feels like to be small, this is what it feels like when the Trust means nothing at all, nothing at all...F*ck the Trust’. Can’t remember the others.

Was the same at Guiseley too. I was pretty annoyed at the time but they were definitely a minority albeit a vocal one.

Before they even started all that singing they were doing my head in acting like idiots. The type of arseholed football fans that you always wish would just sod off. Every club has them sadly.

Empty vessels make more noise.

Embarrassing on so many levels.

i wonder why certain people encourage this sort of thing?, you would think they would want to discourage it to show they have no involvement with this type of vitriol.

Totally embarrassing....could only happen at Pools!!!!

The Trust exists only to ensure that a Hartlepool United FC exists and you have these brain dead idiots slagging it off for no other reason that they haven't got the intelligence to work out that its a great move. I'd wonder about their motives but that would suggest that they are bright enough to work one out.

I don't understand any of this - why can't we all just be football friends?

Easy to ignore daft singing.

Much harder to ignore their other actions.

Should just be drowned out in future.

They probably still think Coxall was genuine. It's the pesky detectives and the trust's fault we are where we are.

Yeah, I heard it too. Seemed to be a fair few more than a dozen singing it but they were very close to me so maybe it just seemed more. I was more interested in the football to be honest.

Regardless of whether this board is unwelcoming or not, it's irrelevant. As are the people who got the wheels in motion to set it up.

Anyone can join, everyone can have their say and it's only for the benefit of keeping the club alive should we need to.

Division between fans of the same club is just bizarre.

Football fans in irrational and ridiculous chanting shocker!

Some people will always find a reason for division. As has been said before it's almost pointless worrying about it because when someones reasoning is that irrational you're not going to be able to convince them otherwise.

As MadJohn said, bollocks to them.

We know John but I wouldn't give the lowlife junkie the pleasure of mentioning him.

Edited, singular.

‘I think someone got attacked by a member of the trust’


It gets sillier by the minute!

They are in the main low achivers, looking for attention.

They post a lot of desperate attention seeking posts on Facebook and also pretty much rely on pack mentality to get by as they only have small brains.

Double post.

It ain't Mensa.

Its barely primary school !

It’s a pretty horrible state of affairs when a very nice person gets threatened, provoked and goaded by members of his own fans and then people on social media try and make some sport out of it or think it’s a joke.

Thankfully there are some serious witnesses to the events and the instigator of all this hatred and behavior should be hanging his head in shame. A monster has been created that came out on Saturday. Well done!!
