Any questions not to do with the AD situation, fire away.
Haven't read the other boards, and sorry if my questioning seems aggressive.

Here's my issue:

The rules of association state quite clearly that all shareholders in Arabtrust are equal. However, there's currently an information asymmetry between the shareholders.

The information being withheld from some members would appear to be of a fundamental nature to the association's objectives. These are the objectives all shareholders effectively bought into when joining. It's their equity, of which you're a custodian.

My question, therefore, is quite simple.

Why is Arabtrust having to keep secrets from its own members, when doing so would seem to go against both the code and the ethos of the organisation?
Hi Naebody,

Nope, I wasn't referring to any aggression on here, only joined today and been made to feel very welcome.

That's a question I'm going to have to consult over, I will get back to you with the answer. Sorry for the delay.

Hi Naebody,

That's Naebody's special initiation test to see if you're made of the right stuff. It's not quite clear who exactly has passed his test yet, but his classic response to one new member's first post was "F*ck Off", so he was relatively pleasant to you...

Anyway, personally I think there's a risk of some fans coming out with over-entitled whiny pish on this one. It was a members' meeting. If members that couldn't attend really want to know what happened, I'd hope they'd get a response from someone qualified to answer, but as a member of the 'TRUST, I have no real interest in attending or being kept abreast with such events - I just want to give my £15 to support the principle of the fans' trust and let them get on with it, and don't want funds used in some sort of superfluous overcommunication activity that a reaches people like myself who can't really be bothered to get involved.

Fans that make a big show about wanting to be kept informed with everything going on at the club, and think themselves armchair financial experts, yet never no anything to help the club except turn up at the gate or on the end of the TV/monitor unaccountably expecting to be entertained do not impress me. And I include myself in their number.

If I have even an apostrophe out of place, somebody has a go.
Yeah, they're the bits I like.
