I'm not talking about the full minutes so desist with the childishness. The "people who run the club" talk to lots of supporters all the time yet you never ask what happens on every other occasion but if you really want to know, nothing was said of any great importance. In fact, it was so bland that I can't remember any point that was worth remembering although someone did ask why we didn't make greater effort to push the fact that Tom Hanks is a Villa fan. Now that you're as aware of what went on as I am, how about confirming your interest in this particular group by joining here http://www.villatrust.org.uk/ ?

No thanks, I'm off to the pub.

Was it explained why the run out music vote on the website was ditched so early and now we seem stuck with right here, right now?

I doubt that's too confidential.

Faulkners a fucking joey anyway, it was more than likely surface issues discussed like the price of a cup of tea and another voucher for pies for season ticket holders and ignore the real problems we have.

No-one asked about pies,mates or run-out music. He answered what was asked. The questions weren't easy ones, the answers seemed honest and quite personal at times, but not particularly surprising.

You're really not missing anything by being told stuff in print. It was literally a 'you had to be there'. When I write it down it is nothing you haven't heard before. If you were there, you got a personal and human view of how and why things sometimes happen the way they do. That's all there is to it.

There's honestly no point in you keeping poking this.

A football club is not about Trust members, or anyone else who happens to pay to be associated with any other sort of affiliation, it is about supporters, ( I am not an active one now due to location in money matters, but still 100 % Villa heart and body) so when the club holds a meeting with any form of support for that club, it should be a 100% open and reported on. This club belongs to all of us not just a precious few who happen to belong to this arm or the other.
The club has an official speaking about a club and he is honest and open, he should be that whether there are 100 or 20000 there, what is there to hide that we all cannot know.

There's nothing precious - the Trust is open to anyone, no matter where you live.

I'll answer this to say I honestly don't know! As I say, this is a new thing for me - sorry.

The post above that I've already answered in the post above that one.

What problems would you have liked raising, bearing in mind the scope of discussion?
