    Or have an e-presence.

    When do they get to know what's going off ?

    What about supporters who have had legal issues in the past and are still pissed off about it. When do they get a cosy chat?

    If it helps the chat last night wasn't so much about the club and exclusives but a chance to hear more from Cryne and Mansford about them as people. Understanding that Cryne remains a proud man of morals who wants the best for a traditional club, and Mansford bringing to the table his qualities as the next generation of board members.

    Good. Why can that message not be put out to BFC fans as a whole ?

    Some of those supporters aren't paying supporters anymore Jay, so I guess that's solved the issue.

    50% of those we know about are (the 50% who was fortunate enough to know a lawyer who worked for free and thus didn't get hold of a stick quite so shitty). And that 50% is also pissed off that the other 50% felt so alienated from the club he loved for most of his life, not to mention the fact that it provided a basis for a father/son relationship, that he chose to withdraw his support. Or felt he had nothing left to give.

    I'd like a discussion about morals. I've got a feeling it wouldn't be so one way though.

    Bugger, I'm all angry now.

    Is it just me, or has there been an "I'm more important than you" **** measuring contest going on for the past few weeks, with too many people wanting to have a seat at the top table. It's a little bit pathetic if you ask me and is behaviour I'd expect to see in my little boy's foundation class at school, where everybody wants to sit next to 'miss'.

    Agree with that GO.

    Am I the only one who couldn't give a sh.it about having a chat with the club hierarchy? If I got a personal invite delivered personally by Ben himself I'd still not bother going.

    I pay to watch them play football, not to try and get involved in the day to day running of the club.

    I think they need all the help they can get based on the shambles they have presided over for the last eight years.

    They should employ people who know what they're doing then.

    Totally agree - I have no interest in players wages, transfer fees, admin issues. I want to see a good game of footy and us getting 3 points at the end of it - is that too much to ask?

    It's each to their own innit?

    Personally, I've never attended these sorts of events in all my years as a supporter, dunt float my boat. But I was invited to those forum things recently - for whatever reason - and had I been able to attend them I would have done. But I wasn't, so didn't. But I was happy to agree to chat with Ben before the MK game and I found it a decent half hour.

    I think I'd be up for chats like that, whilst am already at Oakwell, informal etc. The travelling over after work to sit for an hour in a proper 'meeting' with other fans isn't really my idea of fun. I'd have attended one of the forums, but only because I'd been invited. But now I know I can get in touch with Ben and others at any time, I doubt I'll be attending such events in future unless I'm already at Oakwell. Basically, I've other stuff in my life that I prioritize. Which may come as a shock to some. :)

    Does it have to be a group/ e-presence that fits the clubs agenda or can any mob join up?
