    Now is your chance to have your say through a legally recognised channel.

    Go for it!

    Taken from a recent facebook post to Bradford City FB group.

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/2208709274/permalink/10156687547239275/

    The Supporters Trust who are there to represent the fans are meeting tonight. What would fans like them to be doing about the present situation. Should they be arranging a meeting of fans for them to express the fans views about the current situation or insisting on a meeting with Edin. The Trust was set up in 2002 at the height of Citys financial problems and together with the fans raised £250k which Julian Rhodes doubled and it saved the club. They are a legal entity who clubs HAVE to recognise. Its part of the clubs own charter and that of the EFL. They are backed by Supporters Direct, a body set up and backed by the government.

    It has been mentioned on this thread.

    I don't think that the Facebook post was entirely correct. I believe that the meeting is between those people who represent the various fan groups on the Supporters Board which, of course, will include the Trust. It seems that it is a meeting to formulate a strategy going forwards.

    Hopefully, after the meeting, there will be more information made available.

    Alot than probably needs to be said can't be said as it will end up into a free for all argument

    It won’t be long into that meeting before someone mentions fan ownership. They’ll be smelling blood.

    I somehow doubt that, especially as they may well be aware of those, ready and willing, who are in a better position to take on ownership of the club. However, unless the current owners are prepared to sell, its a bit of a moot point.

    So does anyone know the stance of the supporters groups after this meeting? Would be nice to hear something from them, they seem to have disappeared into the ether.

    Agree, where would we find the minutes of said meeting, or isn't the meeting documented ?.

    Quick look on Twitter and they haven't posted anything since May! No mention of any further meetings etc. Is it only the BCST that represent the fans?

    My thoughts too. It's OK getting the cash together to buy it, it's another thing keeping it moving forward.

    What it does show is that supporter unrest is spreading like a wildfire. No longer is it a "minority", people have woken up
