Fans Forum - Thursday 15th June

[boyliegladbach]

With regards to above good coverage, However this bit as quoted on offocail forum "The home, away and third kits will be on sale and details will be announced in the next week or two"


I asked as it's coming up to holiday season,
It wasn't announced when kits will be on sale, Paul Casson didn't know, he passsed over to his son who also said he didn't know.

the next week or two wasn't mentioned!, I think the words were "don't know" with a bit of of a who cares shrug offf Casson Jrn IMO

If I'm wrong then someone feel free to correct me.

And none of them will be red!!!

Sounds like a Theresa May double act ffs, questions asked, [SwearFilter] all answered. Cheers BB

Take your stupid political hat off, it's not an election it's football.
I felt all questions were answered. And walked away happy.

Got to admit that after reading the twitter updates I thought the questioning (and answers) were a bit soft but the full update on the website goes into quite a bit more detail and happy to see people admitting to mistakes and saying they will learn from them (time will tell if they do but admitting them is a good first step).

It would have been good to get some more questions on the longer term plans and sustainability but then if people are more interested in getting answers to questions they already know like who is supplying the kit these season and a meaningless Furness Select game then it is hardly the panels fault.

Thank you Ryan for the twitter updates and full report - really great for those of us who are too far away to attend

No you're right Al, my mistake. The answer to the question is that the home kit is ready and the other ones should be ready in a week or two so I added it in even though it wasn't answered at the time.

I forgot to mention the drum ban too

[The Mole]

Plenty of people having a good whinge on here that no difficult questions are asked, and they're getting the answers they want! pretty simple go down to these events and ask the questions! (Unless not possible) Not rocket science is it?

No problem Si, credit for the tweets has to go to Ronan though! I was too busy taking notes for the report.

I got called a sad old man by a sad old man for bringing that up!!
Again though, it shows what the owner needs to learn. " Can I ban drums he asked!!"

Yes Paul it's your ground, plenty of clubs ban these horrible aides to atmosphere.

Get it in your ground rules, brief the stewards. Simple.

I'm not on the same Continent. Pretty difficult to get down to.

Think you missed the 'not possible' bit!

"A supporter then asked about the January transfer market last season and both Paul Cox and Paul Casson acknowledged that mistakes had been made; with perhaps too many loan players and not enough permanently contracted players in the squad"

Well yeah! - Awful answer that. I hope no one believed it. An experienced manager accidentally signing too many youth loan players instead of permanent ones.

"He also stated his belief that getting things on the pitch right first is so important, which we are well on the way to doing, though even that has been more difficult than expected and that a lack of time was a big problem with ground developments."

Lack of time? How long has it been now? Salford, FC United and Fylde have all built/are building a new stadium in the time period Cassons been in charge and theres no plans or any indication of when plans will be ready. I don't understand the emphasis on having everything on the pitch sorted first? Surely building the clubs profile to make it self sustainable and getting more fans in is a better way to protect the clubs future. Surely a better set of ideas than unrealistic targets of winning the league/play offs.

"The Chairman added that he is sure the club have a core fan base of 1000 fans who will always be there and that they are the fans the club want to go to war for and appreciate"

Good luck if you ever get to football league then with gates of 1000 plus maybe 200/300 on the side.


There seems to be a lot of "lessons being learned" and they are being learned too late every time. It seems to be a regular excuse when the shit hits the fan over something.

[blue nige]

Might be wrong but all the people who are moaning about the questions had the chance you had to put the question forward with #askpaul oh wait a minute that might take a bit of effort.

I thought everything was covered, mentioned players, costs ,future ground development (steelworks end) and both Pauls admitted to mistakes and Paul Casson is still learning only downside Paul casson said he likes playerlayer!

[JimmyCrabstick]

The link up with the Dutch club sounds interesting if it comes off.

[olbarrafancumbak]

Thought it was a good do... questions were asked and answered! Lessons to be learned...can't be good admitting that but he put his hand up (casson) and took some responsibility. Coxy also admitted a few mistakes.. we are all human!! Had a good craic with coxy and he seems committed to the cause...he hurts as much as we do when we loose or don't play well, even mentioned the hammering at tran mere when he and his missus disn't speak for a week and he kipper on couch because of some comment she made about the result... also had the pleasure of talking to both Mr and Mrs casson who are absolutely committed to taking us forward and he openly admitted he didn't realise the immense job it is taking on the club !! I'm pleased with the the things he told me, he is being more cautious and business minded with their approach and there will be big changes in the future... sustainability is a massive factor and he has learned the hard way that you can't go in like a bull in China shop.. I thought Mr ogdon was excellent too... I just hope he is sharing his knowledge and contacts to someone younger as he isaid getting on a bit! Great turn out by the fans, some good and valid points... shame the keyboard warriors couldn't be arsed turning up and persist in being a gob shite behind the keyboard! Ffs.. if some of you paid more attention to being actively behind the club instead of being continuously against absolutely every single thing..th3 club would be a far greater place!! Rant over...
