Why don’t the Trust make membership free, rather than charge £10?
With over £200,00 in the bank, you could argue there is no need to raise funds through membership.
Maybe if membership was free, you’d get many more people joining up, and having a membership of 10,000+ is better than 1,200 or whatever it is.

I'm sure I used to get trust membership along with my ST. But I doubt it makes much difference to be honest. If people can't be arsed for a tenner, they won't be arsed for nothing. |  | | |

They could make it free on the proviso that you attend 2 meeting per calendar year........ |  | | |

It should be dependent on how much you can afford, perhaps our outgoing board members, who will become millionaires will contribute. |  | | |

I've never been in favour of the free /ST trust membership thing. Far better to have a committed, albeit smaller, membership where you can demonstrate a genuine attachment to the organisation.
The moneys also an issue. 10 quid isn't a lot to many, but they all add up. That covers costs for things like fan forums, sponsorship of local football and good causes. There's also the expenses such as engaging counsel advice on the original American interest, and may yet be required in the future.
True there's a pot there now but I'd rather that was kept in reserve for when it may be needed. |  |

You need to run the trust membership like Amazon prime. Auto renewal.
A lot of us are busy old bastads and will forget to renew.
I rejoined last year and didn't have a clue when it expired.
Just take it by annual direct debit. |  |

I still think it's disgusting that the sellers won't look after the Trust though,I don't begrudge anybody making money but if JVZ is anywhere near the director box next season I'll hop up there and nut the c*nt. |  |

Spoke to Jim about this recently - I couldn't be more in favour of the Trust and their Board and had the privilege of serving on it for a brief period before I moved to London
My biggest issue is that I'm lazy and always forget to get around to renewing with the paper forms. I would v v happily sign an annual direct debit and Jim confirmed this is coming in this summer | |

Fair enough, just a thought on getting membership numbers up.
I didn’t realise it was only £5 for seniors (not that I am one).
I see there is an option to join the Trust as a Standard member — is there another option? I guess the ones on here would be more then likely to put their hand in their pocket, I’m just trying to think of options to get others to join, even if an affiliated member that is free — show the new board that there are big numbers behind the Trust (not that I think they’d really care). | |

With respect and don't take this the wrong way but the fact that you had to check the renewal date shows how muddy all this renewal info is.
You'd think it would be a well publicised stand out date over the years.
At some stage 2 years ago I joined halfway between. No wonder I didn't have an inkling when to renew. | |

I know not everyone has an email address but there'll be plenty of reminders in their regular email updates plus I always get a membership form with my printed newsletter. | | | |

All I need is either a text, email to tell me my auto renewing direct debit us being taken the following month unless I contact them to cancel.
I promise you, I'd be a member for life.
I ve checked my records and I've been a member 3 of the last 10 years
Some of that I wrongly assumed I was a member because of season tickets | |

It probably says more about me than the process imo.
Anyway, take the point on renewals. Watch this space etc etc ... | |

I'm the same. Haven' t checked how many times but know that sometimes I haven't renewed and something happens or is said on here that jolts my memory and I renew | | | |
