I was of the belief that the Trust's aim was to help and promote the Club through fundraising events and any other practical ways it could. Going by recent posts it appears that this is not the case and I am a bit confused as to what the actual aims of the Trust are. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to explain the Trust's role in connection with the Club as I genuinely seem to have the wrong impression of the work it does and what it's aims are. Hi, this was a list we produced a little while ago of the work the trust does.... http://queenstrust.org/?p=522 An updated version would include extra items such as hosting the quiz and author night at the club, purchase of hundreds of pounds of club shop vouchers for prizes for our raffle and sharing the matchday posters and guessing the score competitions on social media to promote games, main sponsorship of charity calendar of old queens photos. Designing and distributing the matchday posters to promote games (although costing nothing to the Trust does take many hours of volunteers time), also promoting queens and their news and events and history through our use of social media (again costing nothing just hours of volunteers time) Some recent posters from this season can be seen here... http://queenstrust.org/?p=880 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again I'm fully behind the theory of not just giving the club the money with nothing in exchange. My point is where the shares come from. While those aims are undoubtedly worthwhile, there's no mention of buying 1000 shares through whatever means necessary. It does seem as though I've got the agenda of the trust wrong in my head. I'm glad I brought the subject up on here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTulip Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Hi Senior Coconut, I am glad you brought it up as well. Happy to discuss any issues. Sorry for misunderstanding the aim of 1000 shares was an aim of the committee to reach for our 10th anniversary so we are bit behind with that one. We also aimed for 180 members this year and have so far reached a fantastic 218. We also aimed to produce a matchday poster for every game this season and so far so good and we aimed to get our resolution onto the AGM to give the shareholders the chance to vote on the issue for the first ever time. Ps don't worry we are also doing our best to make sure that we have some savings for the future. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rjc-1988 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I always thought Marc McAusland was decent enough. We've had far worse. This thread is starting to worry me - we are not seriously thinking of signing him are we? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding was that shares were being secured with the desire in mind, of it helping to achieve some representation. Injecting funds never struck me as the object of the exercise at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northfield 53 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 We need pace up top if we play this 4-5-1 system.Somehow we have to try and get a pacy forward in before Tuesday.It will be a difficult as I suppose anyone good will have better options than us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Naysmith has the contacts in the game to get a pacy striker in on loan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmy_cammy Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Who are you dropping to accommodate this pacy forward? Dobbie?Naysmith has already dealt with the lack of pace by bringing in Thomas and Thomson. We also have Carmichael, and Hilson will be back in due course.Looking at other areas, Mercer has infinitely more pace than Hamill. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERSOUTH Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 No need to drop Dobbs a quick pacy striker would compliment him, even if he is to be used of the bench for the last 30 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 No need to drop Dobbs a quick pacy striker would compliment him, even if he is to be used of the bench for the last 30 So who are you dropping? Presumably one of the 3 in midfield? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northfield 53 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 For me I would go with the experience if Hamill instead of Mercer.Would play DOBBIE out on the left with a new pacy forward.Carmichael is not 100 % fit yet.As I posted earlier it is going to be very difficult to get a forward in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjc-1988 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Much as I like Danny - he is wasted wide left and when playing there he just gets pulled deeper and deeper.He is a threat when he plays wide right but with Thomas favouring the right I think he is the man to make way.Dobbie up on his own is a waste of his footballing ability - chasing aimless punts and lost causes not playing to strengths. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Are folk who want a new striker trolling? It's getting pretty ridiculous now. We have more than enough quality going forward. We are far weaker defensively than we are offensively. With views like this I'm glad the Directors are voting against having a fan on the board 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
