    I hope Mr Cryne gets a standing ovation tonight.What hes done for this club can never be under estimated. I hope his health is bearing up and he has years instead of months to see our great club thrive.God bless Patrick Cryne.

    I think everyone who is in that room tonight know how much he has done for the club & he will get the reception he so richly deserves.

    Direct questions about Hecky's position will be asked & the answers will be intriguing.

    The club have to make him an improved offer & Hecky has to decide if he wants to carry on the job he has started here.

    Are we thinking this is his farewell to the supporters then?

    Not at all, just a timely fans engagement opportunity with a takeover imminent.

    I think he will announce that the takeover will be completed on Friday.

    Someone should take their coat off and let him walk on it.

    I would - but I'm not going.

    Do you honestly think anyone is going to allow let alone answer any difficult questions? like take us through how we lost £1 million in 2015/16. Was Conor Houriane lying when he said no players had been offered contracts and most would have signed them? Did we actually bother to offer Scowen or Roberts new deals?

    You are exactly right.
    In my opinion it's a farewell to Patrick - and I hope he gets the accolades that he deserves.
    How many owners of a football club can walk out of the door and still be loved ???
    Not many.

    But yer right with regards to questions - I'm expecting there will be general announcements about the takeover that's all - but there's a hell of a lot gone off at the club in the last 10 years that remain unanswered - and that's why a book or a record of his time would be good.
    Obviously - that's if he is up to writing it.

    Or equally difficult questions like...
    how did you manage to be lucky enough to get us a spectacular promotion, a first cup win in 100 years, security for the club, a position of moderate comfort in a league that is our traditional home and where moderate comfort is mostly the best we've previously achieved in said division. Alongside which we are now almost certainly more cash rich than at any time in our history.
    That sort of difficult question?

    That isn't a difficult question. It might have no definitive or "easy" answer but it isn't a difficult or unwelcome question

    As I've said. The club is currently in one of it's strongest historical positions. Even when the playing field wasn't slanted as heavily against us we've rarely threatened promotion from it.
    I've never known us have as much cash in hand as we've earned recently.
    Am I happy to settle for that? No. I'd like more but I'll never understand your constant need to carp and criticise someone who has, eventually, put us in a good place.
    I wonder how Fidel would have welcomed "difficult questions" by the way. Not that I don't admire him in a lot of ways but it seems to me you apply different standards to him.

    I don't have one. I was just saying that there was no point in anyone going who might want to ask or learn a but more than what we already know.

    We've been agreeing a bit of late but I have to say I think this comment is totally inaccurate. The way some folk talk on here you'd think we'd never played above the third division. We might have plenty of cash in reserve but it's abundantly clear we are not intending to spend too much of it. Goes against the strategy.

    Lol, well we're not going to agree on everything.
    You're an idealist and I'm a pragmatist. There's nothing wrong with either as long as they're balanced out.
    I think at times you can't buck the system. E.g. Conor was going to go, we can't compete on wages etc.
    I like the plan because, though it's 2 steps forward one step back, I think every once in a while we'll be in a position with players at the right point of their contract who could have a decent go at going up. If we survive this season then next season could be an opportunity.
    I don't think, under the current situation we can possibly push for promotion every year.
    That said, if the takeover happens it might be a whole new ball game.

    Churton... Its not up to you, me or the man in the moon, what questions get asked. And I would stand up for anyone's right to ask owt as long as its not intrusive or personal... weather it gets an answer or not is another thing.. Debate should and must be open for transparency, and trust should be a foundation
