Good to know that "all supporters" will be invited to the July forum. They previously said that it was season ticket holders only. Nick is quoted as saying: "There will be an opportunity for all supporters to come along and put forward their questions where myself and the rest of the directors will be endeavouring to address any concerns they may have regarding how the club is to move forward in the future. "All of our supporters are welcome to come along to the forums and take part in open dialogue because I am always happy to engage with our fans through those bona fide and official channels." |

"The focus of the review is really to analyse what areas each of the directors is to look at so as that our responsibilities don't overlap to make sure that the same mistakes are not made again.
"We already know that the reasons we were relegated were simply down to the fact that the team didn't score enough goals on the back of a poor recruitment strategy.”
On the first point, why the f*ck doesn’t this already happen. It happens in any other business
Secondly we were simply relegated because we didn’t buy a Striker. Well I am glad that is cleared up. How does that factor into the mistakes mentioned in the previous sentence? What are these mistakes that were made? Mistakes that obviously didn’t contribute to relegation

At least there was some kind of response about fans' views and disquiet.

Three words came to my mind when reading this:
Complacent Arrogant Denial
He just can't see that there is something very wrong INSIDE a club which
has quickly fallen from L1 to the Conference. There is no sense of urgency
at all in setting up a meeting to answer the concerns of ALL fans. The Review
seems to be amateurish at best. He cannot see that he should focus alone on
the new ground and let someone else look after other matters.
As said above, his awareness of unrest is a plus...but he doesn't seem to care
a toss about it.

AS long as they are SC members or ST holders ... pay on the day non SC members can do one...basically well thanks Nick!! |

I think he is saying "At properly arranged meetings" . For some no matter what he does he will be wrong.

I agree, Nothing stopping a representative of BRISA, The Welly Group, or GHS or whatever going to official Q and A (whenever that is) making it known they represent said group and asking questions on behalf of the fans they are representing. If they want to ignore you then at an official meeting than that shows you the contempt they may hold you/us in |

As said above, his awareness of unrest is a plus...but he doesn't seem to care a toss about it. Agreed pirate. The thing that irks me was the bit where Higgs states "We don't know what peoples motives are." When fans write in and send emails. You what?!?!?!?!?!  I think a 5 year old child could very quickly work out from reading just a few lines of a letter or email as to a persons motives. I will wager that anyone who has taken the time and bother to write to him about their concerns would deeply care about the football club they support and want it to do far better. It ain't complicate Nicholas, it's really not. But then, he knows this and doesn't need anyone to tell him. It's just another barrier that they use to fend off any flak or help that's offered up in their direction. How can there be ever any way forward with this lot if everything from supporters is met with mistrust and disdain? These "men" after all are supposed to be mature, successful businessmen. It really is about time they grew up and treated their paying customers with the respect they deserve. Tinpot doesn't even cover it! |

If, as it would appear from Nick's statement, it is now open to all supporters, then fair enough, he is giving everybody the chance to ask questions. |

Sorry guys if I am losing the plot(about to enter my 50th year!) but can't they hold the Q&A on the Open Day?
I'm sure that would create extra interest in the day and you never know we might sell some more beach towels!

You could always put it in the suggestion box. |

"I get emails and letters from a lot of people, but I don't know who they are or what their motives may be."
"We already know that the reasons we were relegated were simply down to the fact that the team didn't score enough goals on the back of a poor recruitment strategy."
Oh, just f**k off you clueless and incompetent muppet!!!
