UPDATE - SUPPORTERS QUESTIONS FOR GEORGE

Following the recent meeting hosted by Brad Piercewright and his consortium, The Trust offered to put questions and concerns from Supporters to club owner George Akhtar.

George very kindly agreed to meet with us, and offered answers to most of our questions. Many of the same questions that we asked of George were also asked of him by the club media team, and his answers were broadly in line with those he gave to the Trust.

Rather than list them all, which would make for a lengthy post, you can see the interview he gave to the media team here: https://youtu.be/DaS6C5e4lo8?si=MAPMd8Yiua2V3aYe

The main question from a Trust perspective was around the toilet renovations and our donation towards them. You will have seen details of the resolution to this particular issue in our recent email, and on our socials. We are delighted that the toilet renovations are now proceeding apace inside the ground.

The only question George was not able to answer at the time, for various reasons, was the question around Liam McDonald, the FA investigation, and what plans were in place should he receive a ban. This has obviously now played out, and so has also now been answered.

It is part of our remit as a Trust to hold the club owners to account to help protect the future of the club, and we will continue to do so.

We extend our thanks to George for agreeing to meet with us, and for engaging positively with all of our questions and concerns.

Thanks as always for your continued support.

TOILET RENOVATIONS - UPDATE

Just a quick update on the toilet renovations at Latimer Park, which the Trust donated £2,500 towards.

As many of you will know, the Trust made the £2,500 donation last year to go towards renovationg the toilets in the clubhouse at Latimer Park.

This project met with several delays, meaning the money had yet to be spent. Current plans with the clubhouse mean that the toilet configuration may need to be changed, so the renovations were put on hold. With no clear timeline for this, it was agreed between the Trust and George that the money would be re-allocated to renovate the toilets inside the ground instead.

It was further decided that the easiest way for this to happen would be for George to return the £2,500 to the Trust, and for the Trust to project manage and pay for the work ourselves.

We can confirm that the money has now been returned, and that work is well under way on the toilets.

The Male toilet facilities at the Morrisons end are now almost complete - as can be seen from the attached "Before" and "Current State of Play" photos.

There are a few bits still to sort, and then we will be getting to work renovating the female facilities.

We hope to have the work completed as soon as possible, and we will keep you updated. A big thank you to Workforce Bathrooms and Tiling for undertaking the renovations.

Our heartfelt thanks again to all of those who helped us raise these funds, and rest assured the money will be spent on improving the matchday experience for our supporters.

A reminder also that money from this year's membership fees will be going towards the cost of installing a stair lift in the clubhouse to give more people access to the hospitality area, which is used not just on match days, but also for other events throughout the year.
