I might be missing something... but are there a lot of 'tough' questions that they would need to 'duck'. They seem to be doing alright to me...
This. Some sound a bit like nutty conspiracy theorists. What are these ‘difficult’ questions? Can anyone share a few? Do the owners strike folk as shady, evasive types, or open, reflective articulate people? Jeez. Go if you want. Email a question if you want. Get a grip. Are there supposed to be bodies buried and a murky cover-up? What about precisely because I’m frigged if I know what some people are so vexed about, other than some disappointing recent results.

The lengths some owners will go to, to avoid answering questions about flasks is crazy…

Clubs host fans forums because they're mandated by the EFL to meet with fans twice a season:
"Clubs are required to meet with a representative group of supporters at least twice a season to discuss significant issues relating to the club. "
Thanks for that. Even more like a parents evening then.

I think the current owners are far more transparent and open to criticism compared to their predecessor, however it's just best practice to ensure any debate like this is moderated by an independent party. There are *some* fans who have a (misconstrued or not) axe to grind with Stockwood and Pettit, and allowing the submitted questions from those who can't attend in-person to be managed and put to the club by a third party means they're clear of any suggestion they might be avoiding scrutiny on certain issues. I really don't know why they've just not tried to find an alternative date where Radio Humberside and Matt Dean can attend to host the thing.

But I can’t think that S&P have anything to be fearful about and I’d be pleased to hear what these ‘axes to grind’ actually are.

Could the Trust reps on the board not act as a third party in the sense that they have a foot in both camps?

Depending how the next 12 days of the transfer window pans out and our form before the fans forum, questions about that would probably get asked. I think there are some difficult questions that could be asked about the commercial side of the club, some of the stories I've been told in that regard is pretty concerning.

Perhaps they will but fans, on the whole are a little more undertaking of the difficulties sometimes in bringing players in. At our level you’d imagine the cost of living and so forth is coming in to play when players are making decisions, so that will impact moves etc. It’s all well and good a few man babies jumping up and down demanding players etc but we’ve been told, pretty clearly really, that the reputation of the club still needs some work because of what’s gone on before and just signing players isn’t always a solution… I’m sure some boring girl private will moan about not receiving a reply to an email though, or want to know what food outlets will be at a stadium that’s not even designed yet, let alone built, perhaps someone will female dog and moan about advertising boards and then compare us to Clee Town🙄 In truth, even if Stockwood and Petit turned up dressed as Mr Tumble and sang nursery rhymes, it still wouldn’t be as bad as that fateful fans forum…
