As the most used BWFC fan site, we'd like to gauge opinion

Did all the ST members vote him into this position, or was it a self promotion?

I havent voted - or had the opportunity to do so

It says acting chairman until elections are held in the autumn.

and for that reason i am out.

 

Why not get on the board and go for chairman think you'd do a splendid job.

There was also 2 new members co-opted onto the board last week

 

Local solicitor Roger Allanson, and Adrian Taylor, the managing director of Cheetham Hill Construction, have agreed to work with the trust until the next elections, which will be held in the autumn.

Why not get on the board and go for chairman think you'd do a splendid job.

 

you should, mate.

 

You're a well spoken, educated man, you've got proven business skills and there's no doubting your passion for the club.

As many know I was present at the meeting last week just to air my views as were a good number of other long time wanderers fans it was clear that the general concensus of opinion was that the Trust needed a more positive relationship with the owner and should wherever possible support him and the club in any way possible within the strict rules of s ST. It is refreshing to read the statement from Izza in today's Bolton News hopefully this can be the start of a more positive relationship with the club while still being a safety net in the unlikely event that we ever go into admistration.

Thanks for those kind words, hope your tongue is not firmly planted in your cheek.???? FWIW it's a thankless task and I applaud those who take such a task on however at this stage in my life I'm happy to help where possible but I would not be looking at a board position. By the way the 2 co-opted fellas were really great blokes live and breathe BWFC for longer than me, had no axe to grind and were great representatives of our fan base I wish them the best of luck and will help in any way I can as long as it takes BWFC in the right direction.

The trust needs the expertise of the likes of Izza, hopefully the 2 co-opted members will add broader experience and calming influence to the Trust with a more reflective and calmer approach to dealings with the club and fans.

Not at all, mate.

I think you're an absolute moonman when it comes to national and global politics, but I meant everything i said re: the trust. I think they could do (and have done previously) a lot worse.

May I ask who this izza chap is?

hes an accountant from bromley cropss

 

claim to fame is that he knows gudni bergsson

 

bergsson lived in bromley cross

 

he wears suits that are too big for him

Cheers pal. I did get a space mans out fit for my 8th birthday so I do qualify as a moon man. ????

Adrian Taylor is a good chap and I'm sure his experience will help the board become more stable.

They do need a proper media manager going forward to vet everything before publishing and to take control of the communications.

Trust Meeting 20th June 2017

 

As reported in the Bolton News, the Trust Board held a meeting last week at the Macron Stadium.  The main purpose of the meeting was to speak with interested parties about being co-opted to the Board on an interim basis until elections are held in the Autumn following the resignation of two Board members.

 

There has been some criticism of this meeting not being widely publicised.  We did consider this but when we held a similar open event at the end of last year and sent the invitation out to the membership, none of those who attended went on to offer their services.  With this in mind, we decided on this occasion to invite a number of people who have engaged with us regularly over a long period of time and have therefore gained an insight into the workings of the Trust and those of us that run the organisation.  Those in attendance shared their views on the work of the Trust to date and how we shape policy, new initiatives and our relationship with the club going forward into the new season.  It was a very constructive meeting and as a result, two new Board members have been appointed.  These are Roger Allanson of Allansons Solicitors and Adrian Taylor of Cheetham Hill Construction.  If any member has any questions on this then do please get in touch.

 

Trust Meeting with the Chairman 28th June 2017

 

A meeting was held with the Chairman Ken Anderson, Paul Aldridge and Head of Marketing and Communications, Paul Holliday. The Trust's two new Board members were introduced and discussions took place about how the Trust and club management can work together more closely for the benefit of BWFC and the fans.  A variety of ideas were discussed including, sponsorship of young players, possible resumption of the Fanzone and how we might make this work, the Safe Standing initiative, WIFI in the ground, and regular fans' forums. The Trust and club are now looking at the feasibility of the issues discussed and we will report further on these in due course.

 

Are they acting outside their remit here 

Closed shop.

 

Looks like a breach of their own flimsy constitution

The whole setup is a shambles

Izza needs to walk away too. Joke.

 

 

I've just discovered that the official Bolton Nuts Twitter account has been blocked by Izza the new ST Chairman presumably because I've referred to some of the disparaging tweets he's made of the club owner Ken Anderson in the past!

 

We've never had direct contact with him on twitter in the past nor have we made comment about him to others via twitter.

 

The only remarks made about Izza on Nuts refer to the factual tweets he has made about Anderson.

 

So much for someone who is the current Chairman of an organisation that promised fans that they would open and honest about things!

 

Shameful behaviour.
