Lot's of people work on fixed term contracts and often don't have any heads up until a few days before the contract end. If this has upset their delicate sensibilities then professional sport is not for them. It would almost be more understandable if they were highly tuned virtuosos, but they aint.

The questions weren't checked before hand i can tell you that as i was there and we were free to ask anything we liked.

There were a lot of questions that didn't get asked on the night as we ran out of time unfortunately.....

Questions can still be directed at Wire fans panel on twitter and we can try to get any answers.

Thanks

I asked a question about Minikin & Harrison not being registered on the live cap at the start of the season which was part of the reason Butler, Magoulias, Charnley etc were moved on, to fit them inside the cap. Yet you 'ran out of time unfortunately.' If I had more time I'd post a picture of Jimmy Hill touching his huge chin.

I am guessing you asked the question on the twitter page? I do not run that but can assure you there were so many questions asked we would of needed another few hours to get through everything.

I will on your behalf ask that question at the next meeting.

I get that people are sceptical of these meetings but can guarantee you that these meetings are for the good of the fans going forward, we are consulted on lots of issues like new kits for next season, promotions etc.
I have been in the fans forums in the past and this is completely different.

We are asked to feed in any information that fans would like asking so please feel free to send me any issues you have.



We all want the same

My only gripe with the one was how it was handled.

With the fanbase so restless, the minutes from this meeting should have been up within hours with a lot more transparency. I appreciate that's not your call.

I actually think the people on this forum are quite level-headed when it comes to what Powell is trying to do at the moment but my sense is that others (perhaps more casual fans) are a little angrier at our current situation.

Whether it is or not, to some this felt like a PR stunt to placate fans rather than a genuine attempt to understand fan frustrations.

How are the fans forum members appointed? Is it a ballot? How do the members know they are reflecting the consensus of the fan base? How do the members obtain their mandate from "the fans"

Imagine the kind of busybodies who would put themselves up to be elected reps....it would be worse than student politics.

My campaign would be
- Tony Smith as Director of Rugby
- Statue of Briers at the HJ
- Club badge goes back to the wolf in barbed wire that Cullen designed in the 90s
- Plain white kit with p&b chevron or thin band across the front
- Phil Chadwick as Head of Conditioning
- Re-sign Chris Hill

Lets Build Back Better.
