Another way to help in a small way would be to take up an idea that they are using at Boston to raise money for things at the new ground. They have a jam jar collection,people fill a jam jar with their change and when it is full it goes into the club to be counted and banked. I know it won't cure the problem but it may be  a way of contributing if you cannot donate online?

That would be the same jam jar collection you openly mocked on the Boston forum? Unbelievable!

It was in response to ridicule being heaped on Lynn fans raising money for pitch covers, taking it in context is is not so much mocking but a comparison in fund raising techniques. I will suggest all ways to raise cash,no matter how small it may seem.

How much of a circle can this carry on going round? Has anyone actually emailed the trust to see what their position is,or emailed the club?

Old Loopy was a lot better than Stan. Grissles.

At least loopy joined the Trust for a little while and actually made comments based on his experience?

This is a time of hardship for many people, including fans of our Football Club.   I have seen that the Chairman is more than willing to support the club through this crisis.  I have seen the fans are also prepared to suppprt the club through this crisis.    If we are truly all in this together let’s hear from the Staff what they doing to support the Club through this crisis.

Just reading through the NLP this morning.  Aldershot. The staff there have all agreed to a reduction in their salary’s to support their Club.   

There is no I in Team so let’s see all sides pulling together.

I agree that we should all pull together but I haven't heard much from the Blue & Gold Supporters' Trust. How are the Trust currently helping the club stay afloat?

Stan have you emailed the Trust to enquire if they would be doing anything? Did you get a reply? Or are you putting it on here just to knock the trust again?

If they are doing anything then no doubt they'll keep us informed. I've not heard anything Griss have you?

Stan are you a member of the trust? If you are then as a member you will be able to enquire of the trust directors what is being done? Or are you just making useless unfounded accusations about the trust not caring, just to whip up anti trust feelings as usual! If there are any discussions between the club and the trust then they will be done behind closed doors as and when is practical,and if any monies pass from the trust to the club then the trust must be involved in the running of the club! If Mr Cleeve will allow the trust to have shares in the club then so be it,trust and club together. Take your obsession with slating the trust and actually put that energy into finding out the trust ethos,and read the constitution,they cannot just give away funds raised by members willy nilly, it is the law. Turn your hatred of the trust into fundraising and they wouldn't need the trust!

Now cancelled I believe,along with the Black tie event.

Having to answering your own questions now Grissles.  Bad times indeed. Your followers must all be in isolation.

I remember the days when I had a following,where are they all now?

I intend to donate as well when I’ve seen the forthcoming video.  But, I keep seeing suggestions of a  “Quiz Night”......  Surely you’d need about a hundred of them to make any impression on the sums needed either to survive or progress ?!.....
Anyway, the big thing is first to survive as individuals, then revert to helping the club to achieve National or League status.  On the survival front, don’t follow Stanley Johnson’s ignorance by going to the pub, and so far I’ve heard Sunak’s plans for businesses, but haven’t heard any plans to help out the people who rent, or pull the pints, or turn up when offered the chance on Zero-hour contracts....

Last quiz night I believe raised in the region of 500 pounds,not to be sniffed at!

I say play on,you make up your own mind whether you go to watch or not,we are all adults and can make up our own minds,you could catch this **** standing next to someone in the chip shop?  I myself being put in the class as the most vulnerable to catch the disease am doing all I can to live life.At a game you are out in the open air,not enclosed,so long as people don't cough and spit all over you it will be okay,didn't see too many jousts being called off during the Black death?

No, I teach them to base their opinions on evidence Griss. Again, shame that you have to get personal but I won't hold it against you. Have a great day!

I would actually have to know you to get personal,my comments are based on what you have posted, not on what I think of you personally? Nice that you hold yourself in such high esteem.

"Poor me syndrome" is a criticism of me personally. Don't hide behind the I don't know you so how can I be personal nonsense. I recognise an ad hominem approach when I see one. Look it up on Wikipedia if you're not sure what it is. It's what you're doing.

And you teach children?

Yes, I do indeed. Been doing it for almost 25 years now. I've been a Head of English in a couple of schools, it's been really fulfilling. I still enjoy it now.

So being educated you presume I am not?

How have I done that?

Last post on this thread Stan,owing to your refereeing in the past and your educational status you know better than me! I may be a bit thick,but I have held high positions,In the Youth service,Social services and probation! You just have the protected comfort of teaching,join me for a chat on real life if you need to!

Stan this may come as a bit of a surprise to you,but if i do not know you personally I cannot give an opinion of you and deem it personal,a hand shake and a brief chat after a game does not constitute knowing each other! The number of posters on here that I actually know I can count on the fingers of one foot,so all my differences of opinion are base on what they post,and yes that includes poor you!
