Another question ignored. Am I on the secret black list?

I'm glad it met your exacting expectations Geoff.

I'd have got input from Ian on writing it. It tells one side of the story, it is clearly aimed at being a vindication of what the DTB and ESG have done, not a clear unbiased statement. It is exactly what I expected, though maybe more verbose (I thought James a better communicator). It will achieve what the DTB want but it won't address the growing issues with many of the members who aren't satisfied with just watching football.

“(See text at the end of the article for an outline of who the ESG's current members are and what their role is).“

TbK - it would have been easy to throw that statement into ChatGPT and asked it to create a precis. Or even ask to ensure it was delivering the intended message.

How would you improve it Nick?

Realistically a statement of that kind is just the DTB putting out a statement for the sake of it. If it were intended to be meaningful communication or they were really worried about the members’ views it wouldn’t be so long and badly written.

Laurence - you have email (hopefully)…. 👍

Lol,i see the Dons trust have done a mayor Khan and turned off the replies on twitter to the statement.

TBK, will the statement be emailed out?

Aideen, don't for get his role on the PLC board.

A4E - too long for posting here. So Await email address form Meadow.

Hi Lee, that was 20(?) years ago and I have apologised multiple times since then. It was wrong then and would be wrong now. If you want to equate that with what other other posters have done then be my guest.

Laurence - you can post it on here 😬 or failing that, I’m happy for Meadow to give you my email address 🤗

TBK - i asked a question the other day. Will you be withdrawing from the election? As you stated the other day, you used this forum to post undernames (tags) that were not yourself. You admitted this and we know you have since apologised but to me and others it is a bad look and could look bad on the DT

A4E - no email address in your profile. Where do I send it, please?

What on earth does it take for Angus to be relieved of his post Ition. Worst board , in our history, faced vonc, resignations , “read the room” bollix, and he’s still thier leader! Just want them all to show some balls and resign. I’ve zero respect for anyone who is clinging on to thier positions on that shit show.

OI - I’d volunteer for that, but at 67 I’m not exactly the right age group, plus the criminal record doesn’t help 🤪😂

It's all very well putting the statement out on social media but it needs emailing out to members.

Laurence - yes please ☺️ and Meadow wow that’s a LOT of words to say (dare I say) very little….

2440 including the title.

If we wish to complain about the ESG, we need to be willing to step up and improve it. If you always get the same people volunteering you'll get the same viewpoints year after year. I will try to join after the election but it would be good to have a mix of others including younger and new members as well as people with DT experience. If anyone is interested let me know.

A statement that doesn't really confirm anything. Rules voted on will be in August minutes which conveniently aren't out yet. Still no confirmation on who the individual is who wrote Rule 10. Too long to get a statement out. Changes nothing for me Simon Hood is the only vote for me and long term it's time to sell up as a private owner would be no different to this model might even be better

Word count is 2433 and 86 paragraphs according to MS word.

2426 including the bit about the ESG😉
