Wednesday Night's Fan Engagment Forum Notes PT 1

Cheers for all that I've done minutes myself of a similar nature so understand the work involved.

What about Hemsie's question about why we don't sack Winnall and employ an 8 year lad from Chelsa surely the most important question of the moment.

 

The average salary in league above is boosted by derby paying everyone thirty k a week. Even tea lady.

 

A very good read. Thanks for the write up.

 

Reading that, it seems to me that BFC have a "can't do" mentality.

Quality Patrick.

"No… No.. It's just that, if I created the impression I'm holding something back then I'm not doing well enough because you try and get hold of Kevin McCabe. Try and get hold of him, you might be able to get a few words for the Sheffield star. Try and get hold of the Sheffield Wednesday owners, whoever they are? Who are they? I don't know any more. Try and get Dave Allen to come out and speak, from Chesterfield. Try and get them to come and speak from Doncaster. Since John Ryan went I don’t even know who they are either. Name me another owner or custodian of a football club who'll turn out to answer any question that is actually thrown at them"

Wednesday's run by ladyboys smelling of tuna I think and the Blades have a pretend Prince or summat.

 

And also that he seems to think I went to the meeting and accused him of lacking transparency.

 

Is it just me or do they seem to answer different questions than what were igibally asked a lot?

For example I asked if the club have or would look into how much FANS would have to raise for specific improvements and the answer is that the club can't afford improvements. That's the second meeting I've put the same question forward and the second meeting that the same unrelated answer has been given.

And don't get me started on the Wembley thing

 

Planet earth to troutman....

 

She makes a grand brew though.

 

Do you have any idea why the club isn't keen on it? It seems detrimental to the club for no apparent reason

 

Can we have a supporter's bar? Not possible for us. Walsall, Rochdale, York City, Harrogate Town and Alfreton can, but Barnsley can't.
Can we have a scoreboard? Not possible for us. Colchester and Shrewsbury can but Barnsley can't.
Can the fans have a choice of home shirt next season? Not possible for us. Doncaster Rovers can but Barnsley can't.

 

Because the fans made more of a contribution then the club wouldn't be able to Lord it over them as much.

 

We've got one.

We've got one.

It's not really a choice. It's three or four pre-decided designs and there's a vote for the one they'd like. Rochdale though have done a proper version of this, where they asked for fans to send in their designs and then these were created and options were able to vote on, home and away. Even if your shirt wasn't selected I think the manufacturers still made a version of your kit for you. Summat like that. The Dale lads on here will know more. Easy to implement things like that though when you're only getting 1,500 home fans at home games.

There'll be a red home shirt and probably a white away shirt next season (we're due a white shirt). There's your choice. Buy it or don't buy it.

If Patrick and Ben manage to persuade hammill and aidy white to stay next season and we keep the majority of the squad together with a few decent recruits. We will have a very strong squad next season.

 

Doncaster didn't choose from three or four pre-decided kits, they allowed fans to come up with ANY design

 

It's easy to talk and even easier to listen but posting on here what's said and heard takes a lot of time and effort. Thanks Gally, it's much appreciated.

 

Agreed. Many thanks for such a detailed account.

 

Even if we could vote on our new shirt you'd all be f*cked because my design would win it.

 

I'm not so sure about the three quarter length sleeves
