Everyone will melt. Good on Jon for facing up. I'll look forward to this. COYRs Good on JL for coming along to one but it's only right and proper if done correctly and in a civil and sensible manner, are asked. That is on one level the point, especially when there is some uncertainty or split views among the fans.

If they have any sense at all they would never go into something like this without having thought about the sort of questions they might get and therefore the answers they might give, if they don't prepare in this way then god help them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me that it would then revert back to previous. All this sudden communication just seems like a PR thing. They've gone from one extreme to the next. I'm not saying it is the sole reason, but since a small working group from the SC&T have been meeting with the club they are buying more into things like this that we are putting to them Of course it stumbled with the departure of Phil Alexander, but our meetings are definitely something the club are buying into each month Due to the sudden passing of a family member there will be a delay on last months minutes being published - and I am sure everyone will appreciate that there are many more important things that need to be done at this sad time But, I can also confirm that we are meeting with Dave Barton, Jerry Tocknell, Tom Rawcliffe and Gavin Marshall on Friday 24th November 9 minutes ago, Club and Country said: Hope Jon gets asked to put his crayons away and get rid of that terrible robin I have an image of that comedian who chucked all the fake money into the air in front of Sepp Blatter (Lee Nelson ??)

Steve Watts Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Do the questions need to be submitted beforehand? (In crayons, obviously) I'd love to hear the reason behind the splat, especially as the template was on page 1 of Google images. Seems both pointless and lazy.

Bazooka Joe Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Am I right in assuming that anyone carrying a pitchfork or flaming torch will be turned away at the door? If so, I know many fans who will be barred from attending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazooka Joe Posted November 16, 2023 Report Share Posted November 16, 2023 Which came first? The Hen & Chicken or the egg (on their face)? Having said that, I hope for both their sakes and ours, that the session goes well. We need honest, credible answers and specific goals/targets for which they, collectively and individually, agree to be held accountable. The relationship between the owner/Chairman and the fans cannot get any worse, and this, clearly, has to improve substantially. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The relationship between the owner/Chairman and the fans cannot get any worse, and this, clearly, has to improve substantially. It can and could get a lot worse. The lack of investment for example is a major frustration, but at least SL hasn't said, 'I expect 20,000 of you to chip in and pay HMRC for me' or that bloke who bought Bury a few years back. For all of our many frustrations, born from losing valuable younger players to top flight teams and then the manager not being backed financially to replace them with experienced players is small-fry compared to what some fans have to endure. So yes. It isn't great and the communications (should) have been more honest, clearer and open; but they weren't. So the way that sort of question is framed will either produce an engaged reply, or a 'nest egg' against which they'll be beaten in a few windows time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I don't think it'll matter what anyone asks, they'll have their key points they want to make, their pre-planned PR in place and you could ask them what the colour the sky is and they'll find a way to lead it into that pre-planned stuff. There is no way they'll address anything that they don't want to. I wouldn't be surprised if someone mentions Nigel Pearson and they'll go with the whole "we have a strong squad who we feel should be doing better, we appreciate Nigel and all the hard work he's done to create that squad and now we're looking to push forward with a strong, dynamic coach.... "yadda yadda. I mean this is why they're calling for this now, because they're in full PR drive so they'll have been talking to experts into how to divert discussions into the route they want etc The only question I can think that I'd really liked answered is "why sack Pearson after a derby game when more than a starting line up worth of players were unavailable and yet the following game we had a large number of players returning?", for me it gave Cardiff fans a chance to rub salt in the wound, Pearson didn't have a chance in hell of winning that game and so in my eyes they saw the injury situation, knew that game was a very likely loss and had pre-planned his removal without thinking about the fanbase at all.

One Team Posted November 17, 2023 Report Share Posted November 17, 2023 I hope this is streamed live again could be superb viewing and listening. I also hoped some of the key questions and issues we’ve posed here are asked and answered with some honesty. It’s a risky move to do this, but if it’s done in the right way it could regain some credibility for the Lansdowns. That said if we lose heavily to Boro on the Saturday it might be a little tough! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
