People who have a true interest in the club should go. I am on a holiday which was booked in march so won't be there. There should be sensible constructive questions. They might get sensible constructive answers. If it turns out to be a slanging match it will be a massive opportunity missed by all concerned The media must be controlled and not be allowed to sensationalise situations
The supporters trust should give positive leadership on consolidating sensible questions which hopefully the club directorate will respond in an open manner
Let's hope that all of this is on the back of an entertaining draw at home tomorrow and a vital away win on Saturday

Looking forward to attending my first fans forum. Ill hopefully have the opportunity to ask a few questions, trying to get to the nitty gritty as Bigdog and others have suggested. Never been the best public speaker, but needs must!

Important we don't let Fenty use his political experience to distract those present from the real issues that currently affect OUR club. Watch out for the long, rambling answers to insignificant, planted questions relating to "Dribble". Time to give the board a drilling about THEIR performance in running GTFC.

Why can't it be at the weekend? Oh that's right, a wider cross-section of people will be able to go.

I believe for the record town has been relegated twice out the football league previously in the 1960 and was re elected both times back, this period the gates also where around 2k per game .
That's not correct. Town were only re-elected once the 1968-1969 season when they finished second bottom https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968%E2%80%9369_Football_League#Fourth_DivisionAll the bottom four that year have tasted non-league in the modern era of 2 up 2 down. Re-election was, of course, the norm. Hartlepool were re-elected by their fellow clubs a record 11 times. So their demise last year was long overdue. Only 5 out of 32 clubs who sought re-election were ever relegated and they were normally serial offenders: Gateshead (1960), Bradford Park Avenue (1970), Barrow (1972), Workington (1977) and Southport (1978 ). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-election_(Football_League)

thanks Rob for correcting me, I could have sworn it was twice in the 60's I stand corrected

Please help me by which part of the above warranted six red crosses. I am at a loss

Me too Ilkley. I don't always see eye-to-eye with you but there's nothing I would disagree with in your post. Can't say there's anything controversial at all.

As I live abroad, I obviously can't go. This is your chance people. There will be an attempt to fill the place with sycophants. Don't let them paper over the cracks. Make sure you all go if you can make it. Do not let him use the words "keyboard warriors." Prove him wrong.
If anyone wants to ask any of these questions for me in my absence.. thanks in advance
Benign and football fortune are words that do not sufficiently define the impact of your director's loan on the club and for potential investors. Could you be more definitive in what is meant? Wouldn't it be more honourable to convert them into shares like every other investor?
It is written in the club accounts that you are in effect in control of the club. After fifteen years of poor performances on the pitch, three relegations, six years of non-league, not a single season above tier four that didn't end in relegation, non delivery of a new stadium and lack of ability to attract new investment, wouldn't you have got the sack by now if it was an accountable paid position and how can you think that you are the best person to run the football club with this record?
Who is in charge of your PR and marketing? Who has the final say on output and why are they still in their job?
Bragate, why no comment?
Checkatrade, do you really think that fans were bullied into not going to matches? If so, what proof have you got as bullying is a strong word to use on your fanbase?
Checkatrade, why not vote against the competition and still take the money on offer? Surely that would be even better financially for the club as it would have brought you closer to the fans and earned their respect.
Your brother has stated that you have looked all around the world for investment. What marketing methods have you used and is that offer open to anyone even if it meant losing your controlling interest or is it just investment for the new stadium project?
New stadium, how and when?
What is the playing side philosophy of the club?
Most clubs market their season tickets before the end of the season, why do we leave our marketing to the last minute and why are there no new ideas of how to incentivise them after 15 years in charge?
How long do you want to remain in your position and what is your price to leave?
Shouldn't there be a minimum catering standard for the fans? Was the standard checked before handing out the contract and should it be better than it is?
Couldn't you publicly put your controlling interest up for sale as a package and see what happens?
What time is it there, if I was you being so concerned and supertive, I would get a flight back mush.
