    I've been told the selection process was based on mahoosiveness of forehead. There's YT, Chris Shuker and the Tefal man going to the inaugural meeting.

    can't hurt to give these a go, not really sure what can be changed though, all the ideas that a lot of supporters share cost money.

    I will say though that of the two grounds I've visited so far in League One, I prefer our catering!

    Sixfields didn't even have a clock, never mind a scoreboard, and the clock at Gresty Road looked like an early prototype for Countdown!

    They clearly don't value season ticket holders or maybe Jase wanted a part time supporters view!

    I got an email yesterday out of the blue, thought it was worthwhile attending, so I'm leaving work an hour early to make the hours drive from Hessle (West side of Hull) hope it will be well worth while :) I replied via email and also got a letter today as well. No idea why I was picked, not sure if my name was put forward or if I was seletced for a certain reason, age/location etc???

    David Cameron should like it there.

    I feel Ben is wasting his time with these meetings, just like with the pub meetings. I don't see the need for any meetings. If he's reading the emails sent to his address, got folks reading the BBS on his behalf and also being stopped by fans at home/away/developmental games he should have more than an idea of what people like and dislike without them seeing him in a special invite only meeting where the same problems will be brought up again anyway.

    Ben's rounding up those he suspects to be running his Parody account on Twitter. He's then going to use a blow torch and a pair of plyers to get to the bottom of the issue. Obviously, with Whitey being at the top of his suspect list he's been dealt a bit of a blow. ;)

    Seriously, the idea is to get together representitives from the various fans groups and forums. Hopefullly it will be a useful forum to disseminate info back to fans and help address genuine fans issues. Quite a few clubs are doing this now.

    We'll see on Wednesday I guess!
