    Top idea nudge. It’s called the supporters trust. They formed quite a few years ago. Get yerself elected and away you go.

    We can always ask but I suspect they'd reconvene the fan engagement forum before anything and invite representatives from all the various fan groups. From the meeting, it sounds like they are very keen to take on ideas to improve the fan experience and get people down at the ground earlier and for longer which is something we have been suggesting for years.

    Unfortunately, I was at a clients in London since Monday and it was arranged at very short notice so couldn't make it. I spoke to @Hicksy at length about it this evening and it sounded like it was on similar themes to press conference but quite impressive all the same. I think some of the other investors were able to be more vocal in the meeting and we're equally impressive (e.g. Neerav Parekh). Maybe @Hicksy could post a few points about what was discussed. He did post this on the Trust facebook a little while ago

    Are you saying then that the supporters trust consist of about 10 people that are able to sit around a table with Chein Lee's representative to discuss ways forward for the club?

    Are you on a wind up nudge? The trust isn’t new, it’s exactly that, well it’s 12 not 10 but I’m sure you can cope with that.

    Board Members:
    Joan Dawson

    Ray Brammer
    Eric Bray
    Stephen Croft
    Owen Scrimshaw
    Alan Bloore
    Adrian Willis

    No - I haven't a clue about these supporters groups.
    I'm not part of any of them.
    But what I would say - is that I've been to meetings and heard some of them speak.
    And to say they are a bit dull and just go with the flow is an understatement.
    We need people that will bring new ideas to the table while also being able to discuss where we are as a football club.

    PS - just watched the press conference.
    The women on the board of directors- I don't know her name - was talking to Mr Lee before they got into the elevator today.
    She is a lovely girl - quite tall, very smiley and polite and very attractive.
