Oh no, not the same calibre of people we had on the shortlist when Gannon got the gig. Stubbs is at Everton as Assistant Manager of the Reserves. McCall has had some experience at Bradford, but at best his time was a bit meh. Sutton, not great by any means at Lincoln.

With the site views increasing it can't be long before Gaag is tapped up to run a "bigger team's" message board. The Celtic banner ads are just a starter for ten. Wait til he gets the call and he'll even be able to afford a main and desert.

All very well and good to say that you are unhappy at the lack of contract but the fallout has propelled your website into viable territory. Be thankful. Regardless of any mistakes, it is time to get behind the team. Mon the 'Well

Feedback I've had has been really positive about the quality of the panel and the number of different angles that it covers. A load of the most posted on threads on here are the ones which discuss the media and its treatment of Motherwell/Scottish football in general, the decisions made on the park/off the park by the club and the state of Scottish football/SPL. The majority of these bases are covered. No one could have predicted what has happened over the last few days and there's a lot of water to flow under the bridge between now and Thursday.

A number of emails were sent last year. Totalling eight with regular updates for the Trust's members. The vast majority were publicised via this forum and our twitter. If you didn't get them, we can only apologise but there are always ways and means to get an update on what's happening. Even if there was a lack of communication, your money will have went to Youth Development and disabled facilities at Fir Park. Which I'm sure we can all agree is an excellent cause. The Trust ran the Fan's Forum event, Poker Night and Sixes - all of which had a reduced entry fee, or no fee, for our members. This season we've already secured a £3 meal deal and steak pies at the kiosks. If you sent us an email on the kiosks, thanks! A PM was sent to the original poster, the PayPal link is now working. That said we have moved account and we are testing this. Bigcol, please feel free to PM me with your issues. It is frustrating that people that aren't happy with what we've done, or not done, don't speak up. We genuinely are listening and changing, please see the aims for 2010 as evidence for this. As for Yabba's Turd, more than happy to respond to what I can only call stirring. Once you've decided what you are annoyed about feel free to send me a PM. Cheers

Recieved this email earlier... Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to you today on behalf of Scottish football fans for the reintroduction of standing at SPL matches which is a facebook group(Link at the bottom of the email) which supports the introduction of safe standing at football games in the SPL which current has over 1500 members. Currently the SPL is suffering from poor attendances, high ticket prices and poor atmospheres at games and this is why we believe that the SPL should follow the same course of action as the German Bundersliga which has created cheaper tickets for fans larger attendance and a better atmosphere at games solving the above problems as was stated. We are contacting all supporters clubs/trusts in the country to gain more support for our campaign and we are formally asking you to endorse our campaign and help bring real change to game. Yours, Lachlan Bruce http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?g...6484&ref=ts Fill your boots.

We are looking to have the entry fee paid upfront by PayPal or face to face.

What about St George and the Dragon night featuring pork scratchings, luke warm Carling and a fight in the car park?

What is being endorsed?

No? How many minds have you helped make up with your post? One Motherwell an that.

Everyone is welcome, there was a team of Airdrie fans last time around. Trophy for the winners.

Are you sure it wasn't the World's local bank?

Not even, merely wishful thinking on my part.

Racenight is now due early May, full details early next week. Sixes tournament will be as planned on 12th June, more on this by the end of the month. Members will receive their monthly email update at the start of next week.

A good few people have answered the call on this, thank you. However, I know of many other people who have made noises about coming on board in the past but haven't got in touch. You don't need knowledge of how Trusts work, just a bit of time, some enthusiasm and any good ideas are a bonus. If you are thinking about getting involved then please get in touch members@mstonline.net or a PM. Cheers

Absolutely, cause that would lead to a papping. My point was more that 'Trust' events can be ran by non-board members. For example, Davie Tonner ran the Fives for a good few years.

Though I would say that members of the Trust are more than welcome to use us to help promote it. It's not just Trust board members that can get involved in putting events on.

I'm the proofreader you requested.

As you suggested amendments were made to the wording, thanks for your "constructive criticism".

All the information from Wednesday's meeting is now available at the link below. http://bit.ly/5ysdJ3

Just a receipt or a welcome letter or a welcome pack?

Stadium Development Fund - part of the funds raised this year by the Trust will go towards 'facilities'. It may be that we reintroduce the Standing Order fund for just this very thing though. A fair amount of the £7,000 which went to the disabled enclosure came from the previous Pitch In fund. Filling the seats - already discussing some really good ideas with the club on this. Atmosphere - difficult one to encourage a better atmosphere but fair point on the over zealous stewarding - are they still forcing folk to sit down, thought this had stopped? Season ticket deals - a great idea, but how do you think we would go about something like this?

FirParkCorner is used to advertise Trust events and will cover important Trust stories. As will the official site. The Trust's official site will be updated over the next few weeks. A forum similar to this will appear on FirParkCorner shortly. Any members who have renewed since August last year should have received an email regarding the Fan's Forum night. If you've not received please PM me your email address and I will update our records. A land mail letter will be drafted soon with an update for members. Going forward you should expect such an update quarterly. We know exactly what we are doing around communication this but I admit it is taking time. The Christmas break has taken it's toll.

Yes totally agree specifically if you are a MST cheerleader...
