I mean they do something I guess...

Don’t get the hate for the Trust. Whether or not you agree with their points, they’re clearly all spurs fans and put a lot of time in to try and improve the lot of us supporters. The insinuation that they’re on the “take” or get some huge advantage by doing it is laughable.
Yes and no I suppose Fair point.It’s just the stupid stuff, like demanding “we commit to winning” and “signing good players” that deserves ridicule.
They just come across as naive and entitled. What are the club going to say or do to that? “Oh ok”.
If they stick to issues that are within their remit to effect, like fan/club interaction issues, community stuff, then they’d get less derision.

That might be a potential outcome of their activity, but I'm (as an admitted cynic) dubious about the intentions of anyone that does such things in their spare time, I usually assume it's more about stroking their own ego than actually doing something for other people's benefit.Fair point.
I guess my point was there seemed to be a disproportionate amount of vitriol (not saying from you) directed towards people who are giving up a lot of time to essentially try to make our lives as spurs fans better.
I'm still stunned that through all this, I haven't heard any discontent for ENIC in the stadium.I expect nothing less from these absolute cunts. The fans have hounded Frank out now it's time to turn to the board.
These cunts have got away with murder.I'm still stunned that through all this, I haven't heard any discontent for ENIC in the stadium.
Not saying it hasn't happened, but from where I sit, I've heard nothing.
Just boo's and anti-Frank sentiment.
The supporters trust back when I was in my late teens going every week was super militant. We hounded Sugar out of the club by making his life a misery. If only we knew what we were getting as a replacementThere are things a trust can achieve, but it is more to serve as a voice for fans to express what they think about the game day experience and ticketing issue. A club will meet with them, but they don't appear to have much influence on football issues. It would be like going to a local government meeting where you could get improvements in local services and talking to them about foreign trade. Probably feels good to put out press statements about how you marched in the lion's den and raised issues, but realistically does it have any more impact than people posting here?

My point is the trust should stop with the five principles approach.
Just look at this rubbish
1. Commit to winning
2. Attract and retain talent
3. Future-proof success
4. Lead with integrity
5. Fans first
Everyone of these is subjective. ENIC can say they have provided 500m in the last 4 transfer windows and argue that is a commitment to winning...
Honestly, there should be one aim for the supporters trust right now. Get rid of ENIC and the Lewis family. End of.
