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?

With reference to Big Dogs "suggested" questions I am sure the person concerned will have a meeting with "friends" to try to come up with some answers and then contract influenza and have to cancel meeting

Excuses coming out already 😂


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Promise a man someone else's fish and he votes Labour.

You could spin this the other way by saying JF took over a club 3 mil in debt, with a Massive tax dept and possible winding up order, A massive overdraft and a previous Charmin /Director asking for his Directors loans back of circa 800k now whilst he has been Chairman / None Chairman he has seen 1 relegation and 1 Promotion 4 times to Wembley and 1 trip to Cardiff, No overdraft or Tax bill outstanding and the club dept is reduced to 2mil and self sufficient..

and 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 .

Spin is the word. And not even clever spin.

The reduction in debt by £1m, exactly the amount given to the club by MP and the Trust

Plus £1m Bogle money gone whose transfer fee was raised by OP

3 relegations not one, you're using a technicality

Promotion - From non fooking league
Wembley appearances - Non fooking league competitions
Cardiff - We lost

Are you seriously defending the last fifteen years?
