    50% Kurt?
    I'd be surprised.
    5-6k BFC fans posting on here and Twitter?

    Hopefully this decision was not related to people moaning on Twitter or Facebook. That would be an awful way to make decision.

    Can someone please tell the CEO to delete twitter

    Don't know about Twitter, but more like 2% on here. And then the polls tend to be in stark contrast to the comments.

    I can lose the will to live reading the comments on here but then I view the results of the polls and find I share the same opinion as the majority on a lot of stuff.

    @Gally recently claimed that was higher than the same stage last season.

    I've read a few comments aimed at JAQ on Twitter (after being directed to them from here). They'd influence me, they'd make me want to cry.

    The club are more than aware that X / BBS / Facebook posts do not represent the view of the entire fan base. Ive had discussions on this with the current CEO quite recently and know that this view is held by BFC. How much weight the club should put on analysis of these views is a harder question to answer. I’d be very surprised though if this or this alone is the reason why Collins was sacked. Id be fairly confident in betting the reasoning is much more complex than that and there are probably multiple factors that came into the decision.

    Its obvious they check the vibe on here and some have chose to vote with their feet alluding to the football served up has put them off, that won't have gone unnoticed.

    Had our home and very good away form until recently been the opposite way around, had we a couple more points on the board I don't think we'd be having this conversation just yet.

    Fine margins eh

    I heard he was sacked because the board felt it was unfair on Neil for him to coach a club where a percentage of the fanbase are bigots for disliking Wrexham.

    The comments frequently aimed at JAQ are an embarrassment- this week, she posted a well fine to the women’s team vesting Sunderland 2-0 away last Sunday & the warriors came a-calling with their bile.

    Each to their own I say. If people like a bit of Wrexham that's up to them.

    Mis-read it, as the 10k figure is in the title. I interpreted it as the proportion of BBS users who also use Twitter, for which 10% looked way too low.

    We should look at absolutely every decision in football and assume its about money, because it is, and always will be

    What we can't do, is assume everyone on social media including the BBS go to games. Or are season ticket holders. I once knew an old guy who slagged the club off for decades. Reason.
    " They dunt want to go up, They stopped Paul Sykes getting involved, But i would go if they get to the top tier."
    He never stepped in Oakwell. Nob.

    The worst are those that don’t go to games, but still post negative comments on BFC related threads. It’s a ‘I don’t like it, but I don’t want anyone else to enjoy it’ mentality. Once you mix them with the young fans that claim to be ‘embarrassed’ by everything, it becomes s toxic cocktail.

    I did say in some cases. It’s just that the nasty ones will stand out more as well

    I'm not, and never have been, on Twitter/X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, etc.

    I am on LinkedIn, which originally was a business networking application, but has seriously gone down the social media rabbit hole since Microsoft took over.

    If we're talking about fans voices which I'm pretty sure want be the sole reason for the position, but if it is it will probably be the chanting in the stands the booing in the stands the lack of season tickets sales the decline in attendances the fans contacting the club directly the fans on Twitter the fans on the BBs the fans on Facebook the fans on Instagram the fans on tiktok, in fact the fans in pretty much every form of communication that you can possibly think of. If you think that the only people the club of earth complaining our fans on this BBS and on Twitter then I think you're very very mistaken. Go search on tiktok Neil Collins there are hundreds of videos made about the football under him

    If the Board listened to social media, JAQ would have resigned, Alfie May would have been signed and the West Stand would have been renovated.

    The posters that think the Board listen to social media start threads with titles like “I hope your all happy now”

    The Board listen to season ticket sales and financial projections of next season’s income.
