What measures are the club going to take to improve relations with supporters? When Paul Casson took over the club he said he wanted transparency. Over the past few months it seems supporters have been kept more and more in the dark and the clubs silence on various issues has been deafening. Now, i understand there are certain things i.e transfer negotiations which have confidentiality clauses which is fine, it's in the day to day running of the club where the problem lies.
What exactly have we been kept in the dark about?

Who do you turn to for advice when making football decisions? If it is Paul Ogden, does he have enough experience across the football spectrum to give an informed choice?

Do you know of anyone else for a second opinion so you have the right amount of information to make an informed choice?

Gary Simpson was an internal matter.
The HR department won't discuss an individuals circumstances with a group of people. Now that wouldn't be very professional would it....

Given that it was reported / rumoured that paul Cox wanted to sign a player that was done for biting but was denied due to not fitting into the club image - if true, why did we then sign Paul Bignot?

No it wouldnt, but letting it go on for weeks before finally making a statement only when prompted isnt either

Last I heard he'd had a bit of a set-back with his injury Steve.
We didn't underestimate them, we just didn't think they were that good.

I'll be amazed if there are any satisfactory answers anything awkward will be sidestepped e. g.confidentiality etc.and ground development awaiting drawings etc.
It's just a PR stunt if the club were really bothered they wouldn't treat us with contempt as the comments /statement over the new manager and then totally do the opposite! This was total arrogance and people are naive if they think they can change things this Friday!

Yeah I've got a feeling you might be correct hear. Do we know who will be asking the questions?

1. Did your father underestimate the cost of running a football club when he agreed to buy the club?

2. If so, how will this affect his investment in and development of the club moving forward?

3. If the club is relegated this season, how will this affect the management and development of the club and ground?
