I have full respect for your decision Tim, along with anyone else 'dedicated' to 'City' who wants to see ur team play. But, in my opinion EVERYONE like myself should be boycotting home games & show their support away !!

Great little video on Facebook richwidd. It would be good to email a link to all Trust Members with a request for them to share it with a comment. I'm guessing that would raise some awareness to thousands of people.

Just a thought regarding the estimated losses...... Dread the thought but: Is it possible that some shares have been bought back by the club from some of the cronies at face value or even more ? There must be 50, possibly even a 100 plus stakeholders with the maximum £3,000 worth, & some would have also bought shares for family members. That would leave a gaping hole in the bank balance & a good reason NOT to be transparent with the books !!

Do we take it that there was no representation from the WCFC Board ? That being the case, do we also take it that this new working together scenario is non existent already ??

Agreed, the trouble is, would a New City go the same way? Or do we accept that, actually the people of Worcester, including the vast majority of fans just want to turn up on a Saturday and expect there to be football, and go home afterwards? If that is the case, then, a new City would go the same way. Its already been said on here that " A new club wouldn't be Worcester City" so the defeatists and doom mongers have already staked their position on this. The trouble is Who? That is exactly all the majority of football fans want, from ground level right thro to The Premiership & Internationals !! However, without the likes of you dedicated people on The Trust Board they will have no chance of even being a spectator in the future. I have absolutely no idea how much more if anything you can do to get this message across, but the general public do need to understand this fact.

I suspect it's screamingly obvious but an official response would not be a bad thing. Whichever way the planning application went an urgent meeting was always going to be required to discuss the situation right now and decide on next steps. This is it. Come along. Ask questions, demand answers but let's get our s*** together because time is running out. Ill be abroad Rob, but can you ask a question for me please? 'At what point will we as a trust & WCFC supporters consider breaking away & frming a new club.

Firstly, thank you for such a comprehensive report Croc. The answer to those of you with doom & gloom attitudes 'this the end?' 'Perdiswell was always a non starter'......... Is a resounding NO !! I have no doubt that The WCFC Board of numpties are gloating at this. But I also have no doubts at all that The Supporters Trust Board are already taking measures to lobby this setback. I personally will be contacting every 'against' voter to express my views. I will do this in private as I feel that may be less flamatary & therefore receive a little more consideration. Any opinions on this action would be appreciated.

Everything about WCFC stinks ! It disgusts me and the sooner it is `no more` the better. The Trust may be clinging to their dream but they would have been better setting up a `phoenix` when the gates of SLG slammed shut ! Much as I agree with the formation of a 'Phoenix', the trust has made blatantly clear that their energies are targeted at the Perdiswell Planning, which they feel is the key to the future of football in Worcester. Perhaps it's time for those of you who are doubting their efforts or abilities to get on board with them, I know you'd be welcomed.

Nothing against Dave Reynolds who I'm sure will try his best, but when the club is trumpeting signing on a 28 year old from Malvern Town, it just shows how far the club has fallen. The club could sign Messi, Ronaldo, and Sanchez for all I care. The cancelling of the AGM sums up the shambolic running of the club. The Board are an utter disgrace. I'm sure Reynolds will feel really welcomed when he reads this !!!

What a result, was reading about him last week. Malvern Town's best player by far & they feared losing him.

There seems to be an ongoing abundance of insults to downthelane & admittedly I completely agree that some of his questions are either pretty stupid (or intentionally inflammatory) but does anyone actually know who he or she is ?

Well what a bunch of bloody idiots, I had considered going to home games this year. This however confirms the continuation of my boycott....... Well done Hampson & your band of robbing thoughtless b*****ds !! Perhaps it's time for the trust to recommend a mass boycott of supporting home games & possibly arranging transport to away games. As if you're not doing enough work for us already Well this post appears to have opened a can of worms. However if you read it, you will find no suggestion that the trust tell anyone what to do or what not to do; I simply suggested that it might be a good time for the trust to recommend a mass boycott.

There's also the question of things like Team Builder and Gold Bond competitions, both of which I take part in. I have been giving serious consideration to quitting these recently but I would welcome opinions on whether it would be best to do so or if I may as well carry on. These funds go directly into the clutches of the board...... Do you really need opinions ??

Trust Board...... Will you do anything to promote boycotting home games. There seems to be some support for the idea.

I'd support the trust calling for a boycott of games. It might raise criticism from the public who will use it as a stick to beat the idea of a new ground etc. However it would be terrible publicity for the board if the press covered it - which is a big if. The local press would cover & it wouldn't surprise me if the National Press covered it as well

Good points Jimbo. If we wait for anything to develop with this board WCFC will die. If we wait for the board to pull together with the fans we will die. But if we form a new club then I can't see it gaining backing from the council and the locals. Or there is a possibility that the council are as fed up with that bunch of clowns as we are & just might give us their support !!

Rich, I'm thinking you are missing my point of NOT being negative. As a shareholder why am I not aiming these questions to the board, that surely is self explanatory, they are clueless, full of BS & rarely tell the truth. The reason I'm asking if the community facility is more important to the trust than just the football club is because I'm wondering if it's worth saving the club at all. Perhaps the time is right to break away altogether & form some sort of Phoenix club now & press on with the community programme on the back of it. If that were the case, would we not be able to apply to join the league at a similar level to what this bunch of idiots has dumped us in?

What I don't quite understand is why would a supporters organisation that wants to Bring City Home turn down an opportunity of a site back in the City offered by the Council? Because it's not suitable? There are no existing bus services to the site, it has no sustainable transport routes nearby, it fall inside the "protected area" between the city and the M5 having nature reserves and listed buildings in close proximity. The supporters trust have always said that if a site is proposed that is better than Perdiswell they will support it but robust examinations of potential sites in and around the city have left Perdiswell as the best choice. This site at Parsonage way is no better than Nunnery Way - in fact it's worse than Nunnery Way. S Bus services ?? Can you not remember that when Nunnery was first suggested, the club were offering to arrange a match day service !! I am still interested in hearing a response from Rob or anyone from the trust regarding their knowledge of this site & why we were not given reasons at that time as to why they would reject this as 'pie in the sky'....... This is really a time for us all to pull together for the future of the club, whether that be as a community club or indeed the club as it is. I am Truly sorry if anyone thinks I'm being negative...... But I am getting to the point of wondering if the community facility is more important to the trust than the football club itself.

This sounds like the good news we have all been waiting years to hear, the Council helping the football club. Not quite sure about the dismissive "pie in the sky" comment, surely the Trust must support this if it means bringing the City home? This is just side tracking ,there will be a lot more objections to this proposal than Perdiswell ,the club do not have the time/money to survive the amount of years it would take to get all the processes and the build in place I'm sure Rob has some very well founded reasons for his 'pie in the sky' opinion. However, it does seem odd that we have been led to believe that the board did not have a 'plan B'. I'm also assuming that the Trust are dismissing this other site because it cannot sustain the community aspect of the club. Some clarification would be good.

reading the story it realy makes me wonder why carry on with this project, the batton keeps getting dropped, as every time the suporters think it is close to being heard there is something that has not been completed or not put to the planning department, & if this gets the go ahead they say their is not enough councilors to support the land transfer bid, & we cannot raise the finances to build the stadium unless we get an investor who does not want the shares or some how the club changes its constitution & becomes supporter owned, where some of the funds can be obtained by grants, again needing some investment as i cannot see the whole thing being paid for by grants... Thank heavens The Trust work tirelessly towards a future for us !

What I'm finding hard to grasp is: If there is so much proof & much more to follow, after all this time why haven't these misdemeanours been passed to The Police Fraud Squad, Customes & Excise & HMRC ? They have a duty, the rights, the right tools & I would think the will to expose it all.

If I am correct wr4wolf, if someone were to join the Board now or after the present shower have gone, there would be personal liabilities to consider. Without prior knowledge to what consequences they may be, it would be rather foolish for anyone to walk into the situation.

I can see both sides to the argument in this discussion but don't we just have to try and make the best of where we currently find ourselves? That would mean trying to get rid of the current regime, identifying someone or a group of individuals who would be willing to sit on any new board and then all getting behind the club and giving it our full support. At present there is no unity within our fanbase and this is what makes us different to other clubs who have found themselves in this position and successfully come though it. Some fans, and probably the more informed, seem to want to stay away and look at a breakaway club whilst others want to focus on supporting the team and will continue handing over money to those who continue to drive the club towards oblivion. Those who voted against constitutional change must now be asking themselves why they voted to stick with the current set up so how do we now mobilise the supporter base to try and seek change or at least try and remove these idiots from power? Many of us who aren't close enough to the club like many of you on here simply don't know what to do to try and assist get the club out of this mess. We had a group of Trust Board members who joined the Club Board to try to make changes & they resigned extremely quickly because they could not work with them due to not being allowed to attend all meetings & I'm sure there were some other aspects of the way the club is being run that they felt were not above board enough t be involved with. You say that we should identify someone or a group willing to get n board etc..... What the hell do you think The Supporters Trust was formed for ? It is an active group of dedicated people who spend their time helping to move the club forward.

Can anyone answer the question as to what happens now ? I fully understand how devoted & how tirelessly the trust have been over the last few years. But has this shower of sh**e WCFC board of directors made it impossible to move forward ? Does the possibility of a new stadium & club not rely on finance thro grants only available to a higher league ? Because of these clowns (board not trust) I have boycotted home matches for two seasons & only travelled to a few away games, I do however miss my regular fix of non league: Is this the time to begin suprting another local team or is a Phoenix club still a possibility ?
