Awful behaviour today, moaning about people being allowed to register on an UNOFFICIAL forum, you're a glorified ticket seller who just annoys and alienates many. How about contacting potential sponsors instead of trying to lord your position over the supporters whom you exist to serve, they do no exist to serve you! Hope you are ran from the club at the earliest possible juncture.

It certainly could be what we've been missing on here lately.

When asked about various things ie why he had a go at rich Ingram for helping a journalist register for this forum, he continued to be aggressive and dodge questions like why shirts aren't here. He came away with no credit and came off a s a spoilt child constantly intimating if the board withdrew the money the club will die. I won't renew my membership while he's on board.

Was also to do with the Evening Mail survey and how the Mail are asking people for their views in order to slag off the board. I think things were said to Steve Shaw of the Mail about how they were conducting the survey.

While we're at it I think BK was out of order having a go at Stu Nipps for his opinion on how he thought we'd do this season which was in the pull out section Thursdays Mail. Earlier in the week (when we'd only got 13 players) Stu said he didn't think we'd do well this season. Today BK came up to him and told him people had been ringing him up saying they'd seen Stu's comments and weren't going to today's game as a result and he shouldn't have said that!

I don't think having a go at the Mail will do the club too many favours (they've given us a decent amount of coverage this week) and neither will annoying long standing fans.

That just seems like an out and out lie to me.

Not Tidds' comment, the BK comment.

Also, it has got absolutely nothing to do with John Mackay or anyone else on the BOD who uses this forum and I'm pretty sure that the journalist would have figured out how to register without Rich's help.

stu was only giving his opinion of which i agree with the club still stuggling on and off the pitch does mr keen expect people to say were going to do well and win promion and lie. mr mckay does alot for the club but he needs to improve his people skills and do more of what he supposed to be doing and not having a pop at fans

Poor John works harder than any of the bod & gets a heck of a lot more of the fans aggrieved comments, he is stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Whose fault is it that we have a scratch squad very low in numbers prior to the season starting, whose fault is it (re) the seasonal shirts fiasco, late Tax / Nat Ins / whatever payments and ever repeating fines, no -one maintaining the pitch, club closed down every summer, etc etc Its the BoDs main players and we all know who they are, take it on the chin because you deserve it.

Lots of skilled supporters have been ignored for years and years when offering you a helping hand in their various specialties , but you chose to turn your back on these offers, keep a CLOSED SHOP then whinge when people get put of by the constant BoDs apathy.

How dare the fans voice concerns, how dare the local paper highlight your failings, their doing there job, if you'd have done yours there wouldn't be all this hoo-ha .

Yes you saved the club but your also strangling the very life out of it, Why is all the financial stuff soooooo secretive ? enough is enough.

We all want the same thing, take the chips off your shoulders and acting like children & work together for the common cause.

OUT OF ORDER CHIEF !!!!!!

No one works harder than John, If John wasen't on the board then what would get done?
He can't do everything, maybe his comments were frustration because he is doing everything.
Time to lay off, Too many knocking everything that goes on.
The board is well short of numbers, its needs another 6 good people on board at least.
Think you are picking on the wrong person

I would hope that admin haven't taken it down.

Unless something has been added to it since I last saw it, there was nothing untoward in it.
