Fans Forum - Thursday 15th June

[barrowfan_chris]

The things i wanted to be asked were asked

Ground - no major overhaul planned anytime soon basically promised too much and cant really afford it. The big plan is to knock the crossbar down and build a new stand with boxes ect... in.

Can't extend main stand as it wasn't built to correct regulations so would have to either knock it all down and start again or build two stands either side but not connected to it.

No plans or ambitions to relocate.

Council are planning to build 2 new 3G pitches on Ormsgill playing fields.


Cox - Not sure I was totally convinced by the responses here they tried to imply Cox never agreed any terms even though they spoke with him ans then asked the club to waive the compo??? Surely if they've spoke with him and then ask about compo again that means hes agreed in principle to go? Tried asking.

Tactics - no idea why people bang on about this we went months unbeaten and got to the 3rd round. Its about winning go watch Baracelona if you want pretty football.


Player layer - He said he liked it even though we said we hated it. My biggest gripe is they have the new home shirts here but wont sell them!!! Or give a date when they will be sold absolute madness.

Ogden - Got the biggest applause of the evening he is our biggest asset it would seem and has some good plans linking up with clubs potentially in Holland as well.

Overall it was what I expected to happen positive spin on things that are concerning atleast we know now that we won't be getting a shinny new ground and that budgets will be tighter.

I just hope we can build a squad to challenge as more money has come into the league so will be tougher on a reduced wage structure to build a challenging side the 7 play off spaces will help though.

Sums the club up at the moment. Not listening to fans.

A big crowd of fans and an opportunity to get them sold off on the night. Mental really.

I simply don't get it, people are moaning that the the three Pauls had an easy ride but there was a fans forum laid on for fans to ask the questions they felt needed answering!
One question was asked by a fan, for a fan who couldn't be there....so even if someone couldn't make it, why did they not ask a friend to ask the question on their behalf?

Not everything is perfect, I understand that but sometimes it feels like there really is no winning.

I sent 4 questions in via proxy. Weren't asked though!

[DaveP]

There were over 100 fans there and from the details which have emerged none of them seemed overly concerned about anything.

Perhaps its you who is out of step.

Just my opinion

Who was your proxy and have you asked why the questions weren't asked?

hmmmm. Looking at the questions asked, it was a bit like going into PMQ's and asking Theresa May how her Gardens coming along for the summer.

What's the craic with the Dutch club link up? To send a few of their youth team here on loan or what?

[K-Man]

The "What did you say before the Bristol Rovers game?" was my personal fav.
Tame questions and when the trickier ones were asked it looks like the wishy washy answer were accepted. No surprise at all.

[DaveP]

The point is that anyone who wanted to ask trickier questions had the choice to go to the forum

How can you expect K-man to be there when he is based in the middle east?

[Mark Johnson]

Did anyone ask where these 'very close to signing' players were?

Yes, they are on holiday.

[Mark Johnson]

So they'll be signing when they're back? .. Or have they signed already?

[saltcellar]

I presume judging by all the hostility on this forum about the matchday hospitality pack that questions were raised about it?
