I will make up a document and email it to you in the next day or so. I expect my views will be similar to most peoples but another voice, i'm sure, won't be of any harm. If you have a problem with me, text me. If you dont have my number then you don't know me well enough to have a problem with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BishyTON Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nick, I am in the same boat as Weegie. I assume there is some scope for supporters that cannot make it to send a brief summation of their thoughts on the matter and these could be read out at the meeting. This will ensure that as broad a section of the Morton support as possible has a say. Mon the Ton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro.mcghee Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 same as my statment Dear Mr Rae, I understand that you will be getting vast amounts of correspondents on this issue and appreciate your time I have been supporting Greenock Morton for as far back as I can remember. Growing up my father took me to my first game on a cold wet Tuesday night in to see us go out of the Scotish cup on penalties to eventual winners Motherwell. I remember this being an exciting thing for me and had a lot of fun (despite the result). After this I began pestering my father to take me more often which he did we travelled the country with our team. And witnessed grate times (1994 team, the Peterhead Game and appearing on the video in a big hat and kilt) and low times (relegation and the years under your predecessor who I still refuse to name) I believe this is the same for most fans; we are a family team and always have been. I looked forward to the day where I could bring my child along to cappielow to share in what I experienced, good and bad. However I Feel Concerned over the interview with you that appeared in The Herald and Evening Times newspapers last Tuesday about inviting the “newco†The Rangers into the first division I am deeply concerned that the cub may be willing to put a short term gain before sporting integrity respect and fair play, values that the club have held dear for its 138 year history. And values I wise to pass on to my child. We are a club that thousands love and are passionate about, but I fell this is in jeopardy with many fans voting with their feet if entry in to the 1st division is allowed. The only option open to the ranges is to reapply to the Scotish football league along with any other team that wishes to apply and that there bid is looked at on a level playing field with all overs ( if any) it will hurt many to have to make the choice not to return if fair play is not in place . But unfortunately it will be your decisions that make them choose and it wills saddened many that your legacy would be tainted with this situation and what comes from it especially after saving the club. I look to you to do the right thing for the club its fans and Scottish football. Regards I am dyslexic and I am getting tired of your shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bewilderedbeast Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I know that others have posted polls, but given that there is to be an organised meeting, could a poll be pit up for those who are unable to attend. Only thing is that how would you stop folk voting on the poll and then again at the meeting, thereby giving a false reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Bit strange for a meeting of football supporters to be held in direct competition with a European Championship Semi Final. Unfortunately I'm working that night so won't be able to attend unless I can get a shift swapped. Disappointing as I was interested to hear the views of the Trust board on the issue.

The trust board meets the last Thursday of the month and the Euros did not factor in our thinking when that was set up. We avoided Tuesdays and Wednesdays as Morton might have a midweek game and nobody wants to do Mondays or Fridays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasta Ton Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 Nick I would concur with the general sentiment already expressed on this board. I would also suggest that you should not accept anonymous contributions. If people have a point to make they should have the balls to make it and after all this is the commercial enterprise of Morton FC we're talking about not the East German Stasi or the NUM. I also think it will give more credence to your submission to the club.

I'd say the semi-final is pretty unimportant compared to the 'newco' issue Also, did Sean not talk a few years back about having one of the Trusts AGMs videod so people could tune in ? I know it's a bit late in the day, but is that a possibility ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
