Sounds a positive session. Could anyone present provide any more detail?

Questions, nothing else intended.  You obviously don't have the answer then.

Obviously not. Hence my use of 'my guess' giving it away I assume?

Multiple promises of better engagement have been made and broken multiple times over multiple years now.

A very few things are commercially sensitive and may need to be kept confidential but the fans are the lifeblood of the club, without whom there would be no club, and deserve much better treatment and much more respect than the club have shown in recent years.

If they  have no genuine intention of improving communication just be honest and say so and then everyone knows where they stand.

Wonder which will come first, the League Title or the minutes from the second meeting...

Seriously though, is there anyone here who can get the club to post the minutes from September's meeting? The amount of time it's taking to have these minutes posted makes the inclusion of improving communications seem like a gag suggestion...

Secret society 

At the very least it would be good to know about the welfare of our players, especially re injuries or illness even if personal matters cannot be disclosed. There are more than a few rumours flying around about a player having been released from his contract in the last few days.

Which should be treated with caution given that the last such rumour was without foundation.

Whatever legitimate criticism can be levelled at the club for poor communication, they cannot and should not be expected to spend time commenting on every baseless rumour.

Thing is though, rumours and speculation will always appear particularly given we have an utter void when it comes to connecting with fans and keeping people abreast of team news. 

I really appreciated the email about lawn care services though. 😂

We have a rumour mill thread on here…..

I agree they should not need to comment on any baseless rumours .... but once those rumours reach a critical mass and are coming from multiple directions, then it needs to be addressed. Our club - like almost any football club - is a sieve when it comes to keeping info and gossip quiet or secret. Too many people who want to share their "knowledge" whether it is true or not.

We are not exactly renowned for our communication skills and the original question earlier in this thread about minutes from more than 2 months ago is indicative of that. Either commit to communication, or do not ... I've been through that a few times over the decades where various combinations of the club, ourselves and at times, the media all collaborated to have regular bi-directional communication channels with supporters which started well and then tailed off, always on the club side .... and this feels very much like deja-vu. 

 

 

While I do appreciate the club's efforts in offering me back of the stand advertising boards at half price for Cyber Monday, I really think I'd prefer it if they offered some indication towards releasing the minutes from this meeting...

Personally I was really more interested in the lawncare options the club has given me. 

I doubt we will see the minutes from our last meeting now but I’m glad to see that one of the ideas raised by the fans forum are being launched this Friday. Let’s pack the west stand and get right behind the team.

Maybe you should attend the next meeting to hear the information first hand. The next meeting is to be an open meeting for all fans to attend. We are just waiting for a date  for this from the Club.

Any chance of joining in remotely for those of us who don't live locally ?

That might be a possibility but we are waiting for a date in the first instance.
