Great to see the City on TV and well done BBC MOTD for showcasing grassroots football. Very disappointing result but overall I thought City were the easily better more dominant team. There was lots of hard work and effort in the heat which cannot have been easy. Apart from the breakaway goal our new look defence looked comfortable. Can’t understand why we didn’t start with Lockett? Looked far more creative when he came on. We lost because no one could put away any of the numerous chances we created. We needed a Reyno a Hughesy or even a Symo. I think that will be our problem going forward. Symmo is doing quite nicely for us at Edgar St thank you !!!

I’ve been going to Hereford again for a couple of seasons, decent gates & a good atmosphere in the meadow end. As for the trouble last Saturday, before the match as far as I could see it it was more of a sing off than fighting, until 20-30 police with a few dogs arrived ‘heavy handed’. I can’t comment on the after match events as I never saw it.

The way I read it cogg Is that any shareholder in a CBS becomes a member & has a right to vote on a one vote per member basis. No profits or share dividends are available, they must go back into the community for the whole of the community to benefit. So basically any 'shareholders are donating to the community. I hope this is correct, I hope Jem will correct me if I'm wrong.

This nonsense of a saga has gone on far too long & some of you can't grasp the fact that The Board hold enough votes to do exactly what they want to. I can only reiterate what I have said on many occasion: 1). If there is any proof, or enough substance to illegalality, someone should should call the Police or Fraud Squad. 2). Why don't/haven't the Trust formed a new football club & pursue the grants available (ie if they're available to a new club) & forget this shower of s**t exist. 3). Do as I have done, change allegiance to your 2nd choice of non league team (which may well be non league rather than pub league football & start to enjoy a hassle free experience without worrying what these clowns are doing to the history of what was a great team.
Our shares are (& have never been) of any value apart from being a donation to WCFC !!

Sorry to be so negative....... But enough is enough. In my opinion The Trust is: 1). Misguided in thinking this board will ever accept any help or guidance. 2). Misguided in thinking that 'WCFC' will ever become community owned. 3). Misguided in thinking that the majority of 'City' fans care about anything more than watching a match.
Until The Trust has the mandate to form a new football club at the highest level possible & playing somewhere in Worcester, I can see no reason why I should support them anymore than support WCFC of which I'm a shareholder.
On a personal note to Jem, Rich, Rob & everyone else I know at The Trust. Keep doing what you believe in, but perhaps communicate/bond a little better to your target audience rather than just advocating a broader community facility.

Some of us have been advocating apheonix club for a few years now. Unfortunately, there will be many like myself who have had enough !!! Roll on Saturday, a sell out match at Edgar Street to see the already champions on the league.

As an aside, anyone else see Dave Boddy sneaking around the away end? I'm sorry, but what a load of bollox this is. Why would he 'sneak around' I am so glad to be back supporting Hereford, rather than putting up with such ridiculous sh**e as this !!!

Here’s a question: If The Board do wind up the company in time to reimburse the share holders, how many of us would ‘take the money & run’ & how many of us would donate our money to The Trust to pursue the new set up ?

To put this lack of interest in some sort of perspectiv, I was an avid HUFC supporter until I was asked to help WCFC out 20 odd years ago & basically changed my allegiance. Now however, I have rekindled my support for Hereford. Going to their matches is a real pleasure, great support, great atmosphere & smashing to see some success. I have not been to see City play regularly since we left The Lane & not once since playing at Bromsgrove. Sad days at first....... But at least I am enjoying non league again.

I do understand that the trust are looking for community ownership but I do not understand that they are not ‘anti board’. However, you have not answered a very simple question, because I am wondering if this project (with everyone’s backing) could become a stepping stone to community ownership rather than Ltd company ownership.

I noticed that there have been some preliminary ground tests carried out at Parsonage Way, apparently paid for by the council. I wonder if this means that this site is going to be a viable proposition. If it turns out that it is not only a site that can be used, passes planning & is affordable, will The Trust support it or will The Trust continue to oppose The Board of Directors ?

Childish behaviour again Rich, that is why you failed as a director This is a rather interesting statement from someone who appears to be clueless based on his lack of response to the 'misinformation' he spews out as factual.

Hey Downthelane (do you not see the irony?), 253 members, not bad, what d'ya think? Sorry to sound negative (I'm sure all on here will know I'm fully supportive of the trust), but considering the amount of football supporters in the area, 253 members seems a very small number. Would it not be worth offering a free membership for the 1st year to attract new members, with a view to increasing the 'paying membership' in the future when those new people begin to understand the aim of the trust & the dedication of everyone working for it ?

All of this Trust 'knocking' really grinds my gears. They all work tirelessly for all of us to achieve a community owned club & bring it back to Worcester ! I can understand some of the comments about the constant denigration of the Board of Directors & I agree it should stop. However, they have far more knowledge of the mismanagement of our club than most of us (including shareholders like myself). Perhaps a bit more PR work would be good, but you all need to be aware of the time these guys put in for no personal gain; so there is a limit to what they can do. I am convinced that they are the only way forward long term for a 'city team' to play in the city. It may be time for some people to realise that yes, it's good to go to watch a match but possibly at away fixtures, even if it means it's not affordable/possible every week.

I am really disappointed in most of the incredibly negative comments about Tim. He is without doubt a dedicated stalwart of WCFC, as was his mother & a few more of his family. Ok, so I disagree with most of his sentiments. But he is entitled to his own opinions & should be allowed to voice them, as we are to disagree with them. However, a verbal(written on here) debate is far more constructive than what appears to be coming over on here as insinuated personal slurs.
Tim, keep your opinions & options open until the day we can convince you differently.
Regards Jim

Paul Curtis, The closet Forest Green Supporter as I liked to call him. I got to know Paul very well over the last 25 years or so. A real gent & genuine guy. I cannot remember any time over the last 5-10 years, whe he did not ask how my wife & daughter were doing & always using their names. He will be a sad loss to many. RIP my friend x

Why wonder why WCFC Board never attended.... Hampson has said that WCFC are not interested in The Perdiswell project & that The Club will never play there. THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED..... So why would they attend, they will continue to bury their head in the sand or cover up some misdoings.

Perhaps these 'negative' comments have some substance. The Club & The Trust are without doubt working in totally different directions. The Club appear to be looking at a Sunday league team who will play on what appears to be a completely inadequate stadium. The Trust (correct me if I'm wrong) are trying to create a facility to benefit the community alongside a football stadium to house a Worcester football club. In recent statements Anthony Hampson has made it transparently clear that The Club want nothing to do with the Perdiswell project & that WCFC will never play at there. Almost everyone agrees that The Club is doomed & is likely to fold within a few seasons, leaving Worcester without a football club with any stature; (not that we have one now anyway). So my question to this debate is: Why do The Trust not form a Phoenix Club now in order to be prepared for Perdiswell to be able to be home to a Worcester Football Club ? I, & I'm sure many others would be willing to pay a similar entrance fee to the present charges even if the new team had to play on the likes of Pitchcroft until Perdiswell is built.

If you want to see the club play in the City again then get behind Parsonage Way as it has the Council’s support. Perdiswell has been tried and failed. Anyone who now persists with an argument that Perdiswell is a better option than Parsonage is simply putting their ego above the best interest of their football club. Oh dear downthelane, you are missing the whole point of Perdiswell. This is not simply an ego trip as you seem to think, neither is it just a football pitch. Perdiswell will be a community facility. Football is important to it, but not the only useage. Get your facts right or please shut the f**k up !!

I can only reiterate what others have said. This board show no respect to the owners of the club. They may or may not be using our investment for purposes that we are not informed about, so why on earth would anyone want to give them more money by attending home matches.

Will the question of whether or not the planning decision is appealed by the Supporters Trust be put to its members? citytoon this is a question that does not need to be asked. TheTrust (from day 1) has clearly stated that all decisions will be put to the vote of it's membership.

Sounds pretty good to me. Perhaps we could form a Worcester United and play at the Warriors ground. Better than wasting four years p.....g about with planners, Perdiswell and the idiots `directing WCFC ! The problem with this dragn is that there is no 'driving force' behind a new football club. We have what appears to be a clueless WCFC board of Directors bankrupting the existing club & a Supporters Trust doing their upmost to create a community based club. At the moment, you only have those two options to back !! Although I agree wholeheartedly with the culture of The Trust & the finances they could generate. I do wonder if there would be more support if they put the energy into forming a completely new football team.

I'm not 100% about this, but I believe that the club signed a 2 year deal to play at Bromsgrove. And we know that our board of directors are true to their word NOT !!!!!!

Surely as an employer (albeit with self employed players) the club has a legal obligation to ensure the safety & well being of it's workforce. This board appears to be raping our finances, so why not force them to pay for operating costs. If the circumstances were different Verner, I would applaud your efforts to raise funds. But now (in my opinion), is not something we should be doing. I sincerely hope that this sort of thing will not distant yourself from fellow supporters who are vehemently attempting to force some changes to the way our club is being ruined.
