We get 4 opportunities a year to attend a forum with coach, Chief Exec and senior players. I'd like to know how many other clubs do this, as I bet it's not many. Nobody's forced to attend and they generally sell out within days, so why criticise the club and the organisers? Good work by all involved IMO. Would you rather they didn't bother, because the increase in forums was a response by the club to criticisms of not having enough. They can't win.

Spot on.

It appears what some fans really want is a private audiance with Agar, Rule and a bit of 2x4 with a nail in the end.

bloody eck, it was a joke, i cant get to these fans forums, mainly due to work commitments, but everytime i listen to one it usually the same answers from the same questions

As Mrs B says they are there to be used I just hope all thopse on here with their very forthright questions are there to ask them. Many seem to be saying my question would be.......
Once the event starts to role there are no holes barred and I can quarantee that the Brother and one or two others will be letting the panel have it 'both barrels'! A lot of us are unhappy and this is the chance to have your say, thing is though you have to do it in public!



But Don't decry the fact that Hull Fc have more fans forums than any other club though, thats not fair. As for stock answers what else do you expect them to say, 'You are absolutely right, I'll write my resignation here and now, well I will after Jimmy has finished with the pen'

It does not stop you getting your point across and out on the air!

Only because the same people keep asking about Cooke and Friday nights when Rule's already told them ad nauseam the answers to their points both at other forums and on Airlie Night. The club can't control people who enjoy making these event Groundhog Day. I've never been to one either - difficult as I live in the West Riding - but the point I'm making is that, however formulaic they may seem, they are an opportunity - 4 times a year, no less - to have your say with the coach and Chief Exec there. That's pretty impressive IMO. I don't know about the other clubs, apart from Rovers who have one a year and Hudgell didn't go to this year's, so the club should be applauded for doing it, and also for getting people like Cummings in as guests to mix it up.

Bloody hell welcome back, when did you get out?!!

Now you're talking

Question For Rich ............ Can you explain why we have only scored 6 points in the 2nd half of the last 4 matches, we have got no chance of killing teams off and is beginning to be our down fall.

It's all too orchestrated to allow anyone to really have a go. Will be rule et al telling us about being 4th in the table, injuries, agar needing time to settle his players in blah, blah, blah. Waste of fecking time

Amazed he's turned down the chance to join agar's FC revolution

What do other clubs do on the communications front that's far better than what FC do? We have Rule on the radio fortnightly, a great website, 4 fans forums a year, Tell Us, surveys.....stage-managed perhaps, but maybe you can list better practice at other clubs so we know what the benchmark is.

Where did I suggest that anyone else was doing anything?

The club's PR/propoaganda machine is probably one of it's best functioning parts. In fact, if the playing side were as good we'd be doing the double year in, year out.

Fact is that any opportunity for the public to question the club is well managed. I've emailed in plenty of questions to airlie night and not had them read out. I've also called in but been told that they didn't have time for any more callers.

They pay lip service to the fans, and I'd be suprised if you don't agree

Wigan tend to be entertaining and win games at the same time.

No more than any other club IMO. Customers vote with their feet. Ours keep turning up at the stadium and the shop.

Indeed, and most sensible people realise this, the point I was making was the club will still come up with some stupid answer to justify his appointment/renewal.

When's the next forum? An end of season capitulation could make that one more interesting

It's not exactly orchastrated in that way. You simply put your hand up if you want to ask a question and they bring the mic over.

Although you do get dirty looks off the other "fans" if you dare to say anything slightly negative.

Most clubs will have AGM's. Shareholders meetings.....

"when are the club gonna take cooke to court over his move from fc to the doddins" not long left to act on this and rule seems to want to forget about it.........

For shareholders not fans, there's a difference

:
You won't get through the door!

He will if I chose to let him in

Is this going out on the radio ?

Yes. KCFM 7pm.

i wonder if there will be any anouncements tomorrow night regarding signings or re-signings?
