Recentley Asked Questions:


Is criticism allowed?

I am e-mailing you with a comment rather than a question, I have brought this matter up in the past and never really

received a proper answer/reply. My concerns are that in the last few

months the Trust has almost addopted a siege mentality in that anybody

who criticises or is perceived to criticise the Trust, The Club etc is

automatically labelled as "anti-County", "anti-Trust" etc, the latest

example of this was Jim Gannon picking out and picking on a supporter at

a fans forum and humiliating him for airing views on a message board,

now as someone who has known Jim for many years and has spent many happy

hours with him I find it strange that he would do this particularly when

there have been occassions when past and cuurent Trust Board members

have on the same messageboard made comments about team selection,

tactics etc, Is that the difference, that the person in question was an

easy target? If he had a problem with what was said why not approach the

person and discuss it with them face to face? If you are going to answer

that free speech entitles Jim to do what he did then by the same token

then the supporter in question becuase of free speech can air his

views,the difference is that Jim did itin a public meeting where as the

views aired by the supporter were made on a message board that at best

is read by a couple of hundred people, it seems to me that as long as

you agree with everything that the Trust does and are one of the

"selected few" who know more then ordinary supporters then you are ok,

but god forbid that you actually try to air your views if they

contradict the Party Line!!!
