Have received completed forms from around 40% of our voting members, the results of the GTST questionnaire are now in. Below are the percentages of the vote in favour of each investment option:

•            Investment in the GTFC Youth System                  51%
•           Investment in GTFC shares                                   24%
•           Investment in GTFC via sponsorship                     19%
•           Continue to help pay off the tax debt                       6%

The GTST Board will now be guided by these results and are currently consulting with Neil Woods in order to ascertain how the Trust can best invest in the youth system and we will be looking to use our money so that our members can see the specific results of our investment.

We plan to purchase another 1000 GTFC shares in the near future, which satisfies both our commitment to invest in shares and to continue to  help pay off the tax debt, in accordance with our members' wishes.

In terms of sponsorship, we have already sponsored Ricky Ravenhill's shirt and we are also sponsoring the matchball for the games against Accrington Stanley on the 25th November and Lincoln City in 28th April. In addition, we are planning to pay for one lucky junior member to be a GTFC mascot, as part of our revised junior membership package. We will be releasing details of this shortly.

We will be auctioning off the four executive seats for the Accrington game in the near future, for what will be Alan Buckley's first home league game back in charge of the Mariners.

For those members who sent in their questionnaires, the draw for the signed John McDermott caricature will be made at this game.
