    re: rams trust

    Last i knew of them they were run by some women called Elaine who thought she ran the club! Very arrogant and not at all a voice for the fans, just for those in the trust. Claimed they outed the three amigos when it was in fact mostly down to a group of fans not associated with the trust that campaigned and protested against them to get them out of the club. Always remember the trust claiming to have inside knowledge that the club were being taken over by a billionaire from chile, then somewhere else in the world and we ended up with Gadsby who was on their doorstep yet they failed to know anything about it.

    Bunch of arrogant *****s who think they are somebody, that's all they are.

    I believe that Ramstrust had some influence in several key events around the ownership of the club.

    Since the 3 Amigos were outed though, their significance has diminished. I made some enquiries once about joining but was put off by the attitude I came across. By that point they seemed little more than a group of individuals who wanted to feel and be seen as having influence at the club, rather than fans who were simply doing it for the best interests of the football club. Big egos.

    You know those people you come across who are on a 'committee'. They love it, they love being a committee member, love attending meetings, love to feel they have influence, love to think they know things that others don't because they are on the 'committee'.

    Ever meet people like that?

    That's how Ramstrust seemed.

    But you could always ask Bloomer. Apparently he was a key member during the trusts early days but became disillusioned with them eventually I think. He could probably share some light on the

    re: rams trust

    A fascinating website if only for one insight.

    The 2013 AGM had on its agenda a proposal to reduce the quorum to 10 or 3% of membership. This sets the minimum number of people who must attend the AGM to make it legal.

    The proposal did not get passed as insufficient people turned up for the AGM so it was unconstitutional as inquorate!!!

    I'd say not many people are bothered about the organisation.
