Why not just do this via the trust? Don't you feel that you are just splitting fan power in half?


Or doubling it maybe ?

Share Objectives and goals first then see if your group has support.


A group of people who are unhappy with the current situation meet up and discuss objectives and goals and come to an agreement of those and the way forward.

Otherwise it's just someone deciding for the group which isn't the right way forward.

With a bit of leg work I would virtually guarantee the new group would have more members than the Trust by the end of the first year.

It wouldn't take much given the trusts current numbers that's for sure!

Maybe a stupid question, apologies if so. But if this was going to happen, could Phil head it up (he’d be my choice) while NDA’s have been signed during his time with the trust. The topics are obviously going to be discussed.

This is all a great idea! I mean I 100% agree that there should be better representation and communication between the fans and the board. In fact, I strongly believe that it would be quite straightforward to increase what the Trust is currently doing by 100X. It literally could be 100X better.


I definitely think that there is a better way to go about it than this howevr.

what will you do differently this time Phill? Were you not heavily involved in the running of the trust that has shown colossal shortcomings in its ability to not only communicate with but to represent the fans?

Is this going to be more of a "direct action" type group? Banners, songs, demonstrations, letting of tyres down etc?

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

I was around Phil's earlier. Suffice to say, i think he's been planning this for some time.

My gut feeling is that it has to be connected in some way to the Trust as otherwise what is the Trust for? That is, the Supporters Trust and the Supporters surely should have aligned objectives.

I totally get that it could be a militant wing that is not controlled by the Trust, could be much more vocal, and in fact can be a vehicle to keep the Trust 'honest' (can't think of a better word), but I can't see how they could have differing broad objectives. Otherwise what happens when the supporters trust disagrees with the supporters group or vice versa? Both must implicitly support each others activities even if there is no explicit public confirmation, or both grous will end up fighting each other rather than looking after the interests of supporters against the common 'enemy' (couldn't think of a better word).

Actually that idea of keeping the Trust from going 'native' (can't think of a better word) is getting more appealing by the second, as if this second group was to grow and the Trust Board was letting us down, then we all join the Trust and take it over, by voting all the 'natives' off. So I'm back to thinking there has to be a complicit agreement, even if the Trust can't or won't state that publicly.

Just stream-of-consciousness musing, sorry. That's a long winded way of saying yes, a group that can maybe do what the trust can't, and is not constrained by form over substance, in principle has my support.
