If they get a 'Vision' for it, start worrying!

Ok we get the ground for a peppercorn rent but club over the years has brought a load of publicity and income into the town but they get little or no support from the Council.

Have Hartlepool councillors got an interest in anything ? other than picking up a wage.

Just the one recognised group doing the fundraising through legitimate channels with the backing of high profile poolies would be sufficient.

Oh we have one, the TRUST.

He really is a total plum.
Has absolutely no awareness of what he’s doing. None.

The very exact could be said about you Mike.

In fact, no. You DO know exactly what you're doing.

What’s that then ?

I wonder how many companies currently owed money will be preparing court action to recover their debts now they know the club is for sale and has an uncertain future? That could be a more pressing issue than finding a buyer.

So if they raise money and the trust step in, will they then still donate what they have raised? And if so will it be conditional?

Good intentions or not, it is just gonna add confusion and potential further conflict

I have just read about this next new group. I am sat here in almost total despair now. This fella has set up at least three groups now and claims to love the club. He seemingly hates the trust because of certain individuals that post on the bunker. Does he even know these people he hates? There must be people that post on these oher forums putting him right as who on their right minds would give this fella their money?

I fear the end is nigh unless people like him are stopped in their tracks.

A second fund raising group is disastrous for any campaign. The Trust, a properly constituted and legal group under Supporters Direct is the only way to go. The fund should have specific public aims so that everyone understands what it’s for . . . and what it’s not for

How about a third, two of them set up by the same bloke?

Absolutely breathtaking. Only in Hartlepool could this happen. We’ve got more factions than the IRA. You’ve got to laugh

Wish I could laugh. It’s enough to make me cry.

I can honestly envision a scenario whereby if the worst came to worst, we’d end up with two pheonix clubs

Probably a Peter Kay joke in there somewhere

He can’t be aware of the damage he’s causing surely if he claims to love the club?

Why can’t he get that it’s not about fucking him, chip fireball, pjpoolie, shamrock, MrI or anyone else who needs to get over themselves. For the 9 millionth time a Supporters Trust (irregardless of who set it up) is legal bonefide option for clubs in the shite like we are now and has countless examples of success. We all mean nothing the most important thing is our club.

Regulated, legal, with a clear vision on how to run a football club. Read supporters direct.

The vitriol will not end because they have gone on for too long to cease without feeling vindicated.

The request also for lawyers/accountants/admin people to come and contribute is also ridiculous, I mean yeah I’m sure here’s loads of them kicking about who haven’t joined the Trust because they hate those bastards off of The Bunker who got rid of IOR with a protest that didn’t happen

poolieboydave · **Posted:** Sun Dec 24, 2017 11:51 pm

It’s really hard reading the supporters Facebook page, too many people with narrow views who are totally unable to see the bigger picture. Really depressing at a time when the fans need to pull together.

Unfortunately the advance in the internet means idiots get airtime they really shouldn’t be getting. In real life they would be ignored / laughed at / pitied etc but the internet gives them a platform for infecting their stupidity on others.

Just hope you don’t think that of me haha!

I think it’s got to the stage now where people have actually forgot why they were against the trust in the first place and now just look for anything ever so small to carry on the charade because backing down would show weakness.

Tbh it wouldn’t bother me if people didn’t want to join, absolutely fine with that. But just shut the fuck about it. Go the match. Enjoy it. Hate it. Winge about the performance. But stop spreading hate about an organisation you clearly don’t fuckin understand. Won’t listen to reason about and clearly are beyond joining.

Multiple social media campaigns, stickers, chants, flags, made up fuckin groups to Rival it. It’s pathetic

This bunker is a stupid forum where stupid dudes talk about stupid things like Footy and socks and bread and pizza. It’s not real. It can’t speak. Someone on it might have called you a tit in 2009 and it might have been me but that doesn’t matter because I don’t, chip doesn’t, pj doesn’t, no one on here runs the trust, if you join you can run it, you can vote. Ffs I voted today on something. And my vote counted the same as everyone else’s.

Yes Merry Christmas, as for those who can't get over the idea that they never thought of the trust they can put up or shut up..
