Thanks It is whatever you want it to be... it will be like minded people who want to retain speedway in the area for the long term putting forward options to achieve this goal... when Rob was going to walk many people were profoundly impacted and were prepared to do something to retain the sport in the area... I believe there is the good will at present to put something into place that will mean we can not only support a team and a track but secure a future for the sport in the area for the foreseeable future... If we can't reach a consensus so be it and if it doesn't happen what have we lost... a wet Tuesday night in October... but the bar will be open which will counter that somewhat... All ideas and proposals will be aired... Regards John 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chewbacca 653 Posted September 28, 2021 I can’t make it on Tuesday but would certainly be up for contributing to a fans trust. Please let us know what transpires. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chewbacca 653 Posted September 29, 2021 Might even be prepared to be a trustee if that’s required. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted September 29, 2021 Can’t make it on Tuesday but would be in favour of a Trust system like Edinburghs as long as it was run by the right people and was sustainable in the longer term, Count me in. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m sure if we put How.I.Ever.Passed.My.CPC in charge of selecting trustees then we will be fine, he appears to be an expert of smoking out promoters who take the p@ss out of the fans yet provides zero evidence.

Thanks In its basic form…it will hold money (donated by fans) for the purpose of the speedway club. The speedway club can request funds and must give a purpose and sufficient rationale for the funds. The Trust can also have a say in what the funds are to be used for. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully you will be at the meeting and your proposal can be put to the vote... Regards John 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
