Paul Barber contacted Daniel and invited him and Bernie on to a conference call tomorrow (Wednesday March 14th) for a discussion re. Ticket prices for next season. When the point was raised that we had our Annual Ticket Meeting with the club next Tuesday, he said that would now be to incorporate a discussion on Terms and Conditions and Membership packages.
The agenda for Tuesday meeting and strategies on issues was discussed in detail.
Agenda and strategy to be released to members as meeting begins.
Agreed that no price rise in tickets for next season would be acceptable, and if prices were raised contact would be made to The Sun (in line with their campaign) and other media outlets. Agenda to be attached under separate cover.
6. Confidentiality
A discussion was held regarding the merits of collective responsibility of The Board – and it was agreed by a majority vote that this principle would continue.
7. Newsletter/Questionnaire
It was agreed, by majority vote, that rather than re-write a further questionnaire on the stadium issue, our previous one, already sent out to our members, would now be sent to non-members via news links and message boards. Derek felt it preferable to have a completely different set of questions, but the majority wanted a broader view collected in line with the questions used. Action Paul, Tracey, Darren, Danny
8. Racism
The recent incident at West Ham, and Trust reaction was discussed. It was felt the Trust had dealt quickly and efficiently with publishing its views. The Trust will continue to have a presence at future anti- racism meetings pressing the rights of Tottenham fans.

General discussion as to the amount of people on the Trust Board and whether this prevents swift action on issues. However, numbers are clearly laid down in the board constitution, but it was agreed there does need to be a raising of tempo at times.

A podcast company has also contacted us, and this idea is to be explored further. Action Graham & Darren
