AFC BOURNEMOUTH SUPPORTERS TRUST

The Supporters Trust has, on a number of occasions, contacted the Chairman for replies to certain questions that we feel we need answers to. These questions include why the promised introduction of initial monies as share capital is still in the form of loans to the club? To the Supporters Trust this issue was paramount in our agreeing to hand over certain rights. We have not heard anything for a number of weeks and feel extremely disappointed that our requests still go unheeded.

The Trust gave its support to the Chairman and Steve Sly and were looking forward to working together for the benefit for the club however recent events would lead us to the conclusion that this is not the case.

We are also concerned as to the situation regarding playershare and why their fund raising efforts have been suspended on matchdays.

For the avoidance of doubt we have not compromised the independence of the 2 ST Directors of the football Club because it is recognised that their legal and fiduciary duties to the company are paramount with the current situation (The Football Club). This is perhaps even more important at the time of administration where the actions of everyone are being scrutinised in fine detail.

The ST remain as a voice for the fans of the club and we welcome discussions on the future of our club. We now publicly ask the chairman of the club to meet with us and discuss our concerns However notwithstanding our concerns, we are very grateful and have been told it by supporters, for JM/SS's cash injections which have helped to sustain the club in the past.,
