| Are people who moan about moaners any better than moaners?
And should having a season ticket come with a gagging clause?
I say these as discontent rises among fans and some sheep have wandered in from left field

Does having an opinion which doesn't involve agreeing 100% with every decision and statement made by the Club make someone a moaner?

Very good question. On the flip side what would it make someone who does agree 100% with every decision? Clue. The answer is not supporter.

Yes,some people on the other channel think I'm a bit of a bard.
But some of their spelling is not what it should be.

| Different opinions are what makes the world go round. After all, sharing views and listening to others is what we come on here for.
I prefer it when we don't make our posts personal by having a go at others with different opinions. Sensible debate can then get lost in 'mud-slinging'.
The one thing we all have in common is that we want the Dons to do well.
I would never knock anyone for having a different opinion to mine. I respect they have the right to air their views. I listen and learn from what other people say. There are some extremely good points raised on this forum.
If someone doesn't agree with a club policy, it doesn't mean they're being disloyal. It means they believe things should be done differently, to make things better, and in my view no one should ever be afraid to express their views albeit done in a respectful way.
I run my own business. Listening to my customers is vital. Criticisms, when constructive, can make things better for my business and the customer. Should I stop listening to my customers, always thinking I know best, my business would decline rapidly.
From the posts made on here, I think it's fair to say there seems to be a 'disconnect' between the club and the fans at the moment. This concerns me greatly. Wanderer and I attend the Fans' Panel meetings with the club so we're able to raise such concerns at the meeting. However the next meeting isn't until Thursday 23rd May. I'm sure we'll both have a number of points we want to raise with Gavin Baldwin, Carl Hall, and Shaun Lockwood at that time.
Personally, I think the demise of the regular Friday In The Dugout was a backward step as the Dugout kept everyone informed better. With a few tweaks I think it could have been made better. It got 'personal' with the fans questions at times and I'm sure that was one of the reasons it was dropped. This could easily be worked around if the interviewer was able to ask all the pertinent questions without having to be prompted by fans.

Not sure what you mean, Brian?

| Spot on DM. Take the fact that we have been unlucky with injuries so far. If the club was to take out a different approach on 'keeping quiet' regarding said injuries then IMO that may help us understand the situation the Coach faces on the selection front. We do not need to know the specifics of the injury but perhaps a statement that says a player is a doubt for the next few weeks etc. It takes the guess work out and may help with understanding the dynamic a little better.

I think we all find it quite mystifying why so little information comes out from the club at times. We're all in the dark about Elliot Townsend, we don't know when Brad England and Frankie Mariano are coming back. How long are Keiran Cross and Ryan Dixon out for?
The switching of fixtures to Featherstone is frustrating especially the change of dates. It now nearly clashes with my holiday. I deliberately booked my holidays around the fixture list. Making a statement about moving the fixtures without any sort of apology to fans for any inconvenience is poor to say the least. I understand that moving the fixtures probably has to be done but anyone without a car has now potentially been cut short of two home fixtures.

| I see that over on the Cleggbook that we are being urged to show the club some support. Support for forty two years is no mean thing, how about the club show the fans a little support and get the information side correct. Getting the message out every quarter or so through the good work of DM and Wanderer is not sufficient IMO. The coach has a slot on the main site every week perhaps the answer is framing the questions to RH in order fill in the blanks.
How hard can it be to ask for an injury update?
