An Encouraging Day for the Supporters' Trust

Around forty new members signed up with the Cardiff City Supporters' Trust before yesterday's game. That's easily the biggest number of new members in one day since the initial launch event in September 2008.

If you were one of the fans who signed up yesterday or if you submitted an application by post last week, then many thanks for your support. It is very much appreciated by the Trust's board. Your membership packs should be with you by the end of this week (all being well, they will be processed on Tuesday evening and sent on Wednesday morning).

Provided all the members who are due to renew in the near future do so (and that includes you, Mr Abraham), then Trust membership will stand at around the 725 mark by the end of the week. An online membership option should be available very soon, which will hopefully provide another boost to membership numbers.

Great news.

And for all those who havent joined yet, now its more important than ever to show that we as fans are together as 1. If you want to have a say at the EGM, then join the trust and then put your point to the trust board to be raised at the meeting.

I saw Trust members handing out leaflets around the ground yesterday which was a first. I'm really glad fans are coming forward to join and more numbers makes our voice stronger.

BTW really enjoyed the quiz night organised by the Trust on Friday.

I heard it was a good night.

Meanwhile, as the rest of the Trust board were out drinking beer and having a laugh, I was sat in my flat sending out e-mails to members and General Meeting notices to shareholders.....

it was becasue you were sat at home that everyone was having a laugh to be honest

I was handing out Trust leaflets in the family stand yesterday even though I am not a trust member but that will change on monday

TLG why are you not staying as spokesman?

Glad to hear it; hopefully the Trust's numbers will breach the 1,000 mark soon enough

it was becasue you were sat at home that everyone was having a laugh to be honest

TLG why are you not staying as spokesman?

We don't have a spokesman as such. Different board members talk to the press about different issues.

My main job at the moment is membership secretary, but I also fill a number of other roles. Our AGM is in April (I think). My intention is to either step down as membership secretary, step down as a board member or both, provided suitable people come forward to fill the roles I'm intending to vacate. If they do, then I will continue to work for the Trust in various capacities, but I wouldn't be so heavily involved. However, if nobody does come forward then I will continue as we've all put in far too much hard work to let this thing go belly-up.

In my personal case, my intention was to help get the Trust up and running and then step back and let people who are better qualified and more suitable than me take things forward. That hasn't really been possible yet but I'm hoping it will be soon as more people come to learn what the Trust is about and get actively involved.

I'm signing up to the trust and I would rather you were heavily involved as you are now.

You are doing a grand job.

I don't have a printer.

Any other way I can sign up?

Many thanks for the vote of confidence.

Although raising awareness about the Trust has been a slow process and membership numbers have been a little disappointing, we are nevertheless pretty proud of the work that we've done so far. The idea from day one has been to get as many fans as possible actively involved in running the Trust and to get those fans who are best qualified to serve on the board. It's all about pooling the huge amount of knowledge and expertise that we have amongst our fanbase and making it work for the supporters.

As time progresses, I'm sure people who are far better qualified and more suitable than me will step forward to represent the members - I hope so anyway! But, nevertheless, there will always be work that people like me and, indeed, anyone who joins the Trust can do for the organisation.

Drop me a PM with your name and postal address and I'll get the forms in the post to you today.

Should all be very proud.

The trust was mentioned on Ceefax the other day. That is exactly what is needed.

This is very good news.

Hopefully the benefits of a strong Trust will be clear to the majority of our fans by now.

As regards cost, I spent the equivalent of a Phil Dwyer membership just going to one game and having a few refreshments at the stadium yesterday. CCST membership is money very well spent in my book!

In true Annis style .....

Thanks TLG, We need to be all together as Fans, See you tonight

it was becasue you were sat at home that everyone was having a laugh to be honest

That tickled me.


Jokes aside,people like TLG,old man corky and the rest of the trust board are doing a great job.They put a lot of time and hard work in that doesnt get recognised.Just think how much we have all saved collectively on food,pints,0%finance etc.All mainly down to the the hard work the Trust have put in.

There was someone on the CCMB the other day ranting and raving about the Ridsdale situation,yet he refused to join the Trust.Well things are not like they used to be.Gone are the days where you storm into boardrooms(unless you want to get banged up),so the Trust is the way forward.

very good meeting tonight

And what was resolved Sludgy boy?....... a meeting for a meeting? or direct action?

join up and you can find out

join up and you can find out

I am only kidding Corky, great respect for you mate.
