I have been a critic and I have praised when there’s been progress (the new board members for example).

 

I’m doing neither on this issue. I’m just shining a light on it and expecting some accountability from the club and transparency from FT when they’ve asked questions on behalf of the fan base.

 

If the club are not engaging, or kicking the can down the road, it’s something that everyone on this forum and in the fan base should have a) visibility on and b) be concerned about.

 

Some will probably contribute general criticism on this thread and if @Foxes_Trust don’t want to open up that again then they could always start a new thread with an update on just this issue.

There were some aspects of our questions discussed at the Fans Consultative Committee Meeting, and the official minutes from that meeting are now slightly overdue being published (promised 2 weeks after the meeting). We were waiting to see what was documented in the minutes (rather than using our own notes) before deciding if we needed to publish anything in addition that was said, while still pursuing the questions which weren't covered.

what kind of nonsense is this? Why would you need to see what the club publishes before reporting from your own notes?

 

 

All this shows is that you are more interested in being pally pally with the club  than being a mouthpiece of the fans.

Zero integrity 

 

 

Publish the notes as you see them. Are you the club?

Patience please. President Xi Rudping needs to vet the minutes first.

Reminds me of Yes, Minister when Sir Humphey said minutes of meetings ought to record what should have been said and the decisions the should have been reached. Not, what actually was discussed.

Oh come on @Foxes_Trust, do better!

 

The club have not given you the direct answers to the questions you asked and palmed you off to a run of the mill Fans forum rather than engaging with you directly as they should be a supporters trust. You previously had a promise to a direct discussion that has been broken.

 

Nevermind the minutes of the FCC being published, publish on your website the full list of questions submitted and the answers the club chose to give on the ones that they actually did. Should you decide to, give the club opportunity to engage direct with you in line with a deadline after which you’ll do this to give them one final opportunity to take you seriously.

 

If you get to the point of publishing that article, share it amongst the supporter trust community to show nationally how LCFC are disregarding their supporters trust, get on BBC Radio Leicester Football Forum to talk about how the club have engaged on this, do an interview with The Fosse Way, guest appear on the Big Strong Leicester Boys podcast, release a joint statement with UFS….

 

Alternatively, you could just accept that you are defunct, change your stated aims on your website and make peace that you’ll always be in the clubs pocket but be happy with the freebies and access that comes with that. Over to you.
