Nope just a meet and greet with players. I imagine virtually none turned up. It's the chairman and manager who people want to speak tom Saying that there was the bloke at the last one asking the players what it meant to wear the shirt. One had just come.on loan a few days earlier haha

So there was a Q&A which was announced and then cancelled, and then players and owner turned up to meet and greet and, I imagine, answer questions that went pretty much unannounced until they were already there?

Could not even organise a meeting
You need a reality check.
Pedro ! You let me down :(

I thought you'd have some conspiracy theory into why the meeting was cancelled.
It is rumoured that since the Great Leader saw the Carlsbxxxg ( no ads please) he would buy a brewery !!!
He can introduce his organisational skills there.

I bet alot of his fans are upset especially after buying those I love Paul and Paul and Paul badges.

The meeting could have been arranged after the game so we could carry the Great Leader to the Crossbar after our great defeat of Woking !

Hope Effiong does not score against us.

This is [SwearFilter] typical of a response from a club director, cancel a Q&A session and hastily post at short notice saying well the players and Casson were there to answer questions when it was just announced as a Meet & Greet with the players. A number of us who were going to go to the Q&A session didn't bother when it was cancelled and are fed up with sarcastic comments like this appearing and I actually thought you were better than this Ian.
The club will no doubt blame us (the regular fans) for not attending - yet this is presumably convenient for them because they don't want Casson to have to answer any difficult questions from angry fans about the way the club is being run at present as proven with this. Gradually losing affinity to the club the more things like this goes on, the owner and his son are clueless about how to run an English football club.

Yes anyone would think he wants to demoralise the fans whilst running the club down.

Not surprisingly you are at it again
It's these relentless attacks on here that Radio Cumbria turn into general fans' disaffection and people start believing it - amazing that you and Azalea and one or two others are so consistently anti Casson's (personally I think you are just anti-establishment). Then you have the temerity to suggest you are a Barrow fan. As someone pertinently put it recently - do you cheer when Barrow score?
If arseholes like you get your way, Casson, like him or lump him, will leave. Why bother trying to do good things if there isn't fan support, just slagging off all the time by people like you on here. The club will plummet rapidly and where will you be then with "letting players go"?
The better players bettered themselves by tripling their wages and going to play a better standard of football.It may happen to someone like Bauress. It's not rocket science, but you seem to think it is some financial conspiracy. Along with lots of other people who post in response to you on here, you haven't a clue. Get real. Without the current chairman who did you have in mind to run the club? Repeat who? What are alternatives?
You should take some responsibility if Casson/Cox leave because of your divisive negativity. Show you are a supporter by showing some support on here, even by making criticism constructive rather than scathing.

With regards the question of who should be running the club. The 1st thing Paul Casson should have done is advertise and bring in someone experienced in the day to day running and promotion of a football club, not rely on friends on family as I think it's been pretty obvious they don't have a clue what it actually takes. There's been plenty of time to rectify this but the owner still persists in handing over the reins to his son. He would have been better served employing someone experienced with his lad as number 2, learning the trade, ready to step up sometime in the future. As it stands, mistakes will keep on being made for the foreseeable future.

Does anyone ever ask any difficult questions at these Q&As ?

The one I attended was that much of a love-in I was expecting the baby oil to be pulled out at any minute and someone having to bring Casson to a happy ending.

Now thats a good Commercial suggestion to make the club money .
Though I am old so make sure its a one off payment and not based on a time slot I would get value for money then.

Has he not heard of Tweets if his President can save the world and still tweet why not do a Tweet Q&A.
The Leader can then stop vexatious questions being asked with the para phrase thats Commercial and Confidential otherwise people would come along and buy our best players.
Maybe the Donald could show him
