It was one of the first questions asked and the bloke wouldn't leave it alone. Even when DC had given him a fairly thorough reply he was shouting ot back at him 'how do you know he's not good enough yet if we don't give him a chance' and when asked by DC who the bloke thinks Hirst should be in the team ahead of the guy basically said that Fletcher was useless! Yes it was an open forum but the basic informal agenda of the evening -as advertised - was based around the 1867 club idea and general off-field issues in response to recent publicity to attempt to clarify things. The top table consisted of the club owner, the commercial operations officer, the ticket office manager, the stadium operations head and the head of communications. Asking them a question about why the young striker isn't getting a look in ahead of 6 more experienced forwards perhaps wasn't the most appropriate.

TheEnchanter Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Bigups to the main man DC. Love him. Reminder to myself and others that the club is in the right hands but things do take time to progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was on the adjacent table (any direction when it's round! ).. I gave a couple of polite "wtf" comments to him.. But what can you do? ..... At one point in thought I might actually get up and do one of those comedy strangleholds shaking his neck! ... But thought that this may have been lost in cultural translation to DC! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodgybysea Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Football fans are funny creatures,watch arsenal V Foxes and thought it was great stuff,then the Arsenal fans were on the wireless whinging how crap they were and the boss should be sacked. Most fans in the country are probably thinking ,I wish we were that crap. We are going in the right direction ,but it may take a bit longer than some plonkers on here think.

They really thought we'd let slip a great chairman and they were destined for big things with the help of his investment. They genuinely thought we were jealous of them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan™ Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 2 hours ago, Ash76 said: Its unlikely I'll invest but I was hoping we'd get a lot more meat on the bones re this initiative. It appears to just have just given another platform to those who think their voice deserves its own route to deliver messages to the club. I may be wrong but don't see tonights forum delivering the results the club hoped despite it generally appearing positive. No other reason for that that we only know what we were told in the original OS news story. I wanted to know what else you get for your money, I wanted to know if the prices tell us anything about ST prices should we reach the PL. Others also raised good points regarding 3 years ST's should we go up this year. I know I could have attended myself but I've been away this week and only got home at tea time. I don't think it seems that complicated, I see the scheme as basically allowing you to donate money to the club (if you can afford to), but rather than being a plain old donation you'll also likely receive some kind of financial payback from it in the future. I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean that STs in the Premier League will have to match the Club 1867 prices, you're just willingly helping to 'crowdfund' - as someone put it earlier - the club so it can potentially progress quicker.

Athelwulf Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 When DC came in, he wanted to address the fans' grievances. So we got a new pitch, a new scoreboard, and a new manager too. A manager who plays attractive football instead of Gray's style. Then aspirations of promotion messed things up. Only the top clubs (ie the ones armed with parachute money, like Newcastle) can usually go up attractively. Those without those payments have done it pragmatically in recent years. The problem is that the players we signed (like Baz) we signed with attractiveness in mind, not pragmatism. So now we've changed styles to go up, but are short of the players to play it. The irony is that we already had a pragmatic manager in place when DC took over. Now we're caught between two stools, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
