By "Trust" do we mean "Coalition" or have the Trust broken back off and decided to go their own separate way again?

Divide and Conquer,a fanbase for some unknown reason split right down the middle even after all that has happened these disastrous last 15 years of carnage.

I dont understand it.

I like the leaflet.  Well done WATR.

It would sit nicely alongside the red card proposal; they could be A4 to fit the bag policy 🫣

I also filled out the survey. 

How long is it staying open for, and when will the results be fed back?

The use of part of the club badge will have the copyright police out in force…

Change the rose to a dying rose and you may have a chance of it being different enough to avoid copyright infringements

I’m not a lawyer but if they’re sold at cost I reckon it falls within parody.

The fanbase is overwhelmingly united against the ownership, yet a small few still cling to the idea that the Venkys are somehow our charitable saviours, keeping us financially afloat and ensuring that our small-town club remains “competitive” in the Championship. If that’s the kind of club you want, one with zero ambition or involvement, genuinely feel sorry for you. Thankfully, those voices are very much in the minority.

Sheffield Wednesday have shown that real change is possible. Even a simple restructure, with Pasha and Gestede gone, could transform this club. And as for those claiming that “no one wants to buy us” or “we’ve never had offers,” that’s absolute nonsense. There would be a queue. English football remains the crown jewel for investors, and we’re no exception. 

One straightforward step we should take, in line with previous calls to action, is to write an open letter to the Venkys (with support from MPs). The message should be clear: with the multi-year Indian tax prohibitions now lifted, 15 years of failure and on our 150 year anniversary, January is their chance to finally show ambition. There are no more excuses for avoiding investment. By that point, we’ll likely be hovering around the relegation zone and in desperate need of reinforcements. The media would undoubtedly pick up the story, and if there’s no response or action from the owners, then our conclusion becomes undeniable — the Venkys have no desire or ambition to ever see Rovers grow.

It’s a simple move, but one that could be hugely revealing.(Apologies if this has already been discussed)
