    Assuming they do and assuming the majority of the supporters prefer a certain manager (i.e Wilson according to bbs poll)

    How much influence do the supporters have in situations like this?? (In anyone's experience?)


    Just thinking about Wilson's appointment at Blunts, didn't go down well but Wilson had the balls to stand and be counted.

    But they do.

    It's human nature to do so. They aren't robots, Phil.

    If there was a forum related to my workplace, and folk were typing about me and my performances, I'd be having a look. Curiosity innit?

    i think they should read it. if they genuinely want to know what people really really think, this is a great medium to do it, from a safe distance. obviously they won't even give a second thought to individual rantings from individual idiots. and neither should they. but there is a good proportion of people on here, who speak sense.

    106 people have voted for Wilson. Is that the majority of supporters?

    This BBS is a small cross section of the Oakwell attending punters, with a strong weighting in terms of educational background. What's written on here doesn't often reflect what the typical match attending BFC fan thinks.

    They can't do. Otherwise they would have learnt a few things from my posts.

    So they should avoid the sports section of the Chronicle, particularly the letters?

    No reason for them not to read it imo, as long as they take everything they read (good or bad) with a pinch of salt and keep their wits about them.

    If ANY player or family or friend tells that person what someone said they haven't a right to have an opinion really on what they've said.

    A lot of Sportsmen and Women say they don't read newspapers or other media because of this.

    If i did something that someone would have an opinion on then I wouldn't care.

    Like i put yesterday, if anyone as an opinion good or bad then keep it in the club.

    Can't make sense of that first paragraph.

    Second paragraph - lots don't, lots do. Personal choice.

    I'm not suggesting the players or staff should post on here (they probably shouldn't tbh, it could get very messy as shown by some of the issues with Twitter) but if they want to read it then why not?

    The main reason for this was to establish is the supporters are listened to and if there opinions count in decision making etc.......

    Some ppl talk sense on here some a load of crap but with the poll's that are set up, I just wondered if the results are seen by the ppl that need to see them

    Can you imagine Kennedy reading this board? That'd be fun for him.

    I don't get this attitude 'I pay to watch my team so I can say what I want about them'. It's a public forum that the players and management can and will read, not the same as having a chat with your mates down the pub. If you wouldn't say it to their face, don't post it on here.

    Bobby reads it a lot - on a Saturday afternoon from 15:00 onwards thanks to Hill and Flicker.

    I agree with that sentiment but quite frankly, if the players are thick enough to be reading this forum then they've only got themselves to blame imo. Even though football is a game of opinions, very few posters on here are really professionally qualified to comment and as such, the players should be interested only in the views of the management team (I hope anyway). This is a fans forum.

    I honestly can't see players getting home from work and going out of their way to have a read on here. What have they got to learn from this site? They've got nothing to gain and everything to lose, so I can't see why they'd bother and if they did it would only be the once.

    Twitter and Facebook though might be a different matter, which is why Hill didn't like the players having personal accounts.

    I think what this forum proves beyond any reasonable doubt is that there's no such thing as a 'typical match attending BFC fan'. We're all such different people and have so many differing opinions. And it's not like we're all different on here, but the rest of 'em that don't use this forum are all the same. Everybody's different with a unique opinion.
