The game?Straight after the unstructured free-for-all
We will be told the usual bugger all.It will be interesting to see what is said about our summer transfer dealings and what plans are being put in place for January. Looking at the bigger picture, updates on the TG and East Stand will be welcome also.
We will be told the usual bugger all.Typical negative doom and gloom attitude. How pathetic…
Nonsense the club at these meetings have always been honest and open but there are certain things that can't be said if it's not signed and sealed.We will be told the usual bugger all.
Surely pies and the vegan options must get a mention….I would like to see questions of the summer on reflection, some of the deals that didn't happen, the wage structure, the pricing being too high and how the membership is going, selling Bowler late and being cash rich, we brought in Wright who looks good and reportedly cost 750k ish, but we still should have the vast majority of the Critch and Bowler money in the bank, as we have a budget anyway without that income.
How we plan to grow the fanbase, kind of releases to pricing as its not going to grow under the current prices baring a promotion push.
Anymore?
These are all reasonable, sensible points which could, but won’t be, addressed or answered.I would like to see questions of the summer on reflection, some of the deals that didn't happen, the wage structure, the pricing being too high and how the membership is going, selling Bowler late and being cash rich, we brought in Wright who looks good and reportedly cost 750k ish, but we still should have the vast majority of the Critch and Bowler money in the bank, as we have a budget anyway without that income.

I'm personally not interested in the sexuality of the pies, or vegan goal celebration music.Surely pies and the vegan options must get a mention….
To be grammatically correct it’s actually become accustomed to spouting. There’s always the ignore option, that’s if you only want to read the jaundiced, club can’t do anything wrong perspective.Nonsense the club at these meetings have always been honest and open but there are certain things that can't be said if it's not signed and sealed.
Why don't you attend and ask a question or join a group and get them to ask it rather than this constant negative drone you've come accustomed to spouting on here.
Police Grammar bore.To be grammatically correct it’s actually become accustomed to spouting. There’s always the ignore option, that’s if you only want to read the jaundiced, club can’t do anything wrong perspective.

Most fans, including me, don’t want to know everything, that’s a ridiculous all encompassing statement. We would like to know more than we are being told, which as I said is bugger all. Signings which fell through, positions which need filling and haven’t been. Just general stuff which is of concern to supporters. A bigger transfer budget? which resulted in fewer signings, these things are our concern. All we get are generalities and made to feel as if it’s nothing to do with us. The club needs to remember the fans aren’t an interruption to their business, they’re the reason for it.Police Grammar bore.
Club have got some things wrong and many things right but to say we'll be told bugger all after they are doing two meetings in a space of a week is plain wrong.
That's the problem with the modern fan they want to know every single thing about the club and just moan yet we have a SLO who always answers questions on here or can be contacted.
Isn't that what the meetings are for.Most fans, including me, don’t want to know everything, that’s a ridiculous all encompassing statement.

Excuses?? We don't need to give people more excuses!!! Please ** no more excuses!!Does it matter what is said . All anyone wants is improving results and I believe we are all singing from the same hymn sheet no matter what is said at this meeting. What will happen at this meeting is more excuses to get on this website and moan.
It would be good if some independent fans other than group representation could go, it just feels too clicky. On the other hand the ones who do go tend to represent a lot of people.Nonsense the club at these meetings have always been honest and open but there are certain things that can't be said if it's not signed and sealed.

What an absolute ridiculous title for a meeting - 'structured dialogue' - makes me cringe.
FFT - it's the EFL's choice of title, and holding these meetings is something the club is obliged to do.What an absolute ridiculous title for a meeting - 'structured dialogue' - makes me cringe.
Most fans would and most fans would like proper answers and not vague generalisations.FFT - it's the EFL's choice of title, and holding these meetings is something the club is obliged to do.
The way these meetings work varies from club to club, but (for example) the BST Committee and Members have come up with a range of questions covering topics such as player recruitment, infrastructure, the cost of living crisis, stewarding, BFC/BST joint working and ticketing policy. We'd like to think most fans would have an interest in most of those things.
That's fair enough; I was only commenting on the title of the meeting, not the purpose of it.FFT - it's the EFL's choice of title, and holding these meetings is something the club is obliged to do.

You don't need excuses for a 3-1 win.Excuses?? We don't need to give people more excuses!!! Please ** no more excuses!!
Totally agree Will see if I can get an inviteIt would be good if some independent fans other than group representation could go, it just feels too clicky. On the other hand the ones who do go tend to represent a lot of people.
Have you heard who the BASIL rep is? There will be some blunt speakingTotally agree Will see if I can get an invite
No mate, but I have been told what the first question will beHave you heard who the BASIL rep is? There will be some blunt speaking
You might be surprised at how few people (in terms of percentage of crowd attendance) they actually represent.... On the other hand the ones who do go tend to represent a lot of people.
@Martonmosser he's travelled around 8,000 miles to be thereNo mate, but I have been told what the first question will be
Apologies for being ageist but Isn’t Liz Hurley getting a bit old for this kind of gigThese meetings are a good idea in theory, but it's pretty obvious the club are just going through the motions because they are obliged to hold them.
Any decent questions are never answered because of "commercial sensitivity", so you just end up with hearing about trivial stuff like goal music, and Mansford grandstanding in front of an audience that we're going to sign Haaland in January and that Liz Hurley will be serving the free pie and pints in the Heineken Lounge.
You'd hope so. The bigger problem seems to be people expecting to be told things that they are really never going to be privy too. I don't really care why we didn't get X & Y player. It's frustrating of course, but you're always going to lose out on some targets. I'd be more concerned if we're also making no progress on club infrastructure. These are the things that will make us better longer term.Think they’re a great idea personally, another example of the club trying to be more transparent
I agree in part. However, is it not right to question the people who are doing the recruiting if you believe there to be something lacking in the execution?You'd hope so.

Of course. People should be questioned and held to account. Not that I think it will happen, but we shouldn't sleepwalk into a new phase of 'shit ownership' just because the previous bunch were utter charlatans.I agree in part. However, is it not right to question the people who are doing the recruiting if you believe there to be something lacking in the execution?
That, surely if the point of the meeting. To be able to ask awkward questions.
Not sure people want all the details, a general answer may be enough, maybe that was already given.You'd hope so.

Is there something that can be done to encourage attendance at the AGM? Last year's was a bit disappointing when I was expecting it to be bursting at the seams.SD is on Tuesday (11 October). BST AGM on 5 November.
Hilly, a meeting of all interested groups with the Police is scheduled for Wednesday.Really need to ask what the policing arrangements are going to be of the game with that lot down the road.
They can't say they can't keep them held back until all the home fans have disbursed as that is exactly what they did at dumpdale for a hour last season.
Good to hear. They made a right pigs ear of it last season sending them down the same road as pool fans....be interesting to see if they keep them in this time because that's what happened to pool fans over there...Hilly, a meeting of all interested groups with the Police is scheduled for Wednesday.
First PLF Seasiders have heard about it!!!!Hilly, a meeting of all interested groups with the Police is scheduled for Wednesday.

Perhaps taking 100 Seasiders on a coach and being subject to first hand “incompetency” & “nativity” from Lancs Police is something the meeting doesn’t wish to hear.First PLF Seasiders have heard about it!!!!
