BairnsTrust

Bairnstrust, in our last announcement, intimated as part of their ongoing structural changes that we will be holding a Q&A session and fans forum soon. We are pleased to announce that this will be held on Thursday 27th of September starting at 7pm. The venue and guest speakers will be announced in the near future. Anyone who is interested in coming along, please put this date in your diary now. We will be releasing more details of a number of the changes being made within the Trust before the launch night over the coming weeks. We hope as many of you can attend on the night, we will endeavour to make it an informative and enjoyable evening.

Bairnstrust have released the following announcement http://www.bairnstrust.com/

The Chairman is meeting Trust tomorrow night.

Bairnstrust are united in their views as to how the club should have voted. Our posts on this site are merely factual or reiterate what we have already said publically

We can tell you 100% what we believed the fans view was on this situation. They were presented in person the results of the fan poll we ran the week prior to the meeting which had 90%+ of fans wishing to see Newco Rangers in Division 3.

Thanks for the understanding and support. It is a difficult position we are in however there is a determination that Bairnstrust becomes a more effective voice and focus for Falkirk Fans. There are a lot of things going on in the background with the organisation and we plan to expand on those ideas soon. This issue has slowed that down a little however we have a clear focus as to the direction we are heading. We hope that the support will be supportive, however we are under no illusion that because of the problems the organisation had in the past it will take a lot of work to rebuild the fans confidence. Hopefully our actions during this time will start to do that. The Trust can be an effective voice within the club if it is managed well and represents the broad view of our supporters.

The Chairman returns from holiday on Friday and has promised to brief the Trust on his return. We expect to understand the position from that meeting. After that we will make a public statement. Problably not what you wish to hear but the Chairman has promised this so we will give him that courtesy. We repeat however that we will not change our view on how the club should have voted. No matter what we are told.

Bairnstrust will not climbdown on this issue.

Bairnstrust have taken the decision to cancel their monthly meeting at the Stadium on July 16 for the following reasons: 1. The Scottish game is still in a state of flux and the ramifications of the SFL vote on Friday are still rumbling on with no resolution. 2. Our club has been widely accused of voting to parachute Newco Rangers into Division 1. At this juncture despite pressing the club for clarification we still do not know which way they voted or if indeed they will make a public statement. 3. The Club were unable to send a Director to attend. 4. Bairnstrust believe that it is best to hold a meeting when everyone is possession of as many facts as we can obtain and the club Board can be represented. I trust you understand why we have taken this action. We will announce the date of the meeting when we have a much clearer picture and when the club can be represented. We envisage that this could be later this week or early next. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused.
