bwfcfan5 Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 The statement is perfectly fine and it absolutely is the right message. I find it incredibly odd for people to question this from the trust. In reality it is absolutely what should be happening. I wonder if the trust have wind that the problem is not a Basran/Anderson one but with other creditors unwilling to come to an agreement? The tone of this would suggest that is their view... And, thinking about it, would it make sense if ED's trustees sit behind an NDA and let Anderson take the flack for liquidation.....it wouldn't surprise me. They perhaps were not too enamoured with the way Eddie was treated at the end and from what we know unlike ED his family aren't football fans....

They aint They could well be relevant and very soon I’m not saying that the current ST is fit for purpose and being run by the right people. However the club is sailing very close to the wind, if we go pop and want to get out of it the other side with a football club then we as fans will need some sort of organisation to do that, a ST. Much like Pompey etc Its just a shame that we have this big divide with the current trust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much like Pompey etc Its just a shame that we have this big divide with the current trust If we get liquidated and no longer exist I'd argue that a ST are then null and void and the purpose of their operation has gone.... If a football club is to arise from that point it will be up to something far wider than the trust. But I look at Bolton and seriously doubt there is the will, aptitude and numbers to rebuild from nothing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this the old Ken harangued him on his deathbed for more money rumour that was made up? Maybe you should give ED more respect than that Edited March 18, 2019 by Boothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members burnden Posted January 20, 2020 Members Share Posted January 20, 2020 BWFCST BOARD ELECTIONS (2020) – Some Important Dates for Members BWFCST Board elections are to be held during March/April 2020. In advance of the elections, noted below are some important dates for all BWFCST members to note, especially those who would like to stand for election to the board. It is proposed that there will be a board constituted of seven directors. In accordance with the BWFCST Model Rules, two of the originally elected directors, Terence Rigby (current chair) and Maggie Tetlow will stand down. This leaves three serving board members remaining and results in there being four new board positions available to be filled. Terence and Maggie will be able to put their names forward for re-election should they wish to do so. If they choose to stand for re-election, they will continue to provide a wealth of knowledge and experience of BWFCST operations if elected. If they decide to leave the board, they leave with the massive thanks of the members for the time, effort and passion for BWFC displayed over recent years, especially through the troubled period leading up to and including the administration process. Election Timeline Any member who wishes to put themselves forward for election will be required to forward a completed Candidate Nomination Form, which will shortly be available on the BWFCST website. The election timeline is as follows: 14 Feb ‘20 Registration closed for members to stand as a candidate in the elections. Any member who wishes to submit a nomination form will need to be registered as a BWFCST member by this date 17 Feb ’20 Open nominations. Any member wishing to stand for election to the BWFCST board can submit a completed nomination form to Electoral Reform Services from this date 09 March ‘20 Registration closes for members to vote in the elections. Any member who wishes to be eligible to vote will need to be registered as a BWFCST member by this date 16 March ’20 Close nominations. All nominations from members wishing to stand for election to the BWFCST board will need to have forwarded their completed nomination form by 5.00pm on this date 23 March ‘20 Issue ballot packs and open voting 06 April ‘20 Voting closes 15 April ‘20 Results announced An independent and responsible Trust can only help in securing the stability and sustainability of our beloved club and it is hoped that the new board members will be able to bring new ideas as to how such an aim can be achieved. It is therefore hoped that as many members as possible will seriously consider standing for election to the board. Further election details will be announced in the near future. Anyone from here going to stand for election? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
