I can understand the reticence just because our history of Club to fans group engagement is well it speaks for itself It is trying to rise above that level and do something very different to just about every Club in the country but if done right a lot would follow. So QI klaxon time but a UK version (it can't be the same) of the German approach to this specific aspect. It is not about running the Club, or commenting on financial matters, or picking the team.

hawksmore Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 How do you even get to go to these? I thought it was invite or ticket only? Do they put a spread on? If so I might try calling in, fill up before I head out for some beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torryowl Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 12 fans having any thing to do with the running of a one owner club is frankly laughable .....a more sensible suggestion would be to get howard Wilkinson as his only advisor ....chansiri has said he has advisors around the world , if you have say 12 advisors offering different advice then he's going to be very confused bloke ,with only one good'un like wilko who's done every job from fan thru to chairman he wouldn't need anyone else .

He has advisor's around the world and he's overseen this shambles of a year! They are obviously doing a great job.

jonesy87shef Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I just really hope it isn’t like the last steering group meeting where those in attendance applaud everything the chairman says and does like a bunch of lapdogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They give the chance for supporters to add their views - them seemingly the club do nothing! No point! Maybe go to one and then make your mind up?
