    As these type of things go it was really good. Sat in a portacabin in front of 50 proper footy and BFC fans. No bull in Athersley. Not really much bull from the 2 guests either. Out of every one of these things I've been to (WSB lads don't get invited to the fans forums) I reckon it was the most, honest, down to earth one I've witnessed .

    Fair play to BM LJ and Beth (driver and translator as she told me) for turning up in 'the ghetto' and as far as I'm critical when we're *****. I'm not fooled by spin. I'm really not. I did hear some 'politicians' answers but 90% + I felt was honest stuff and they told loads of 'off the record' bits.

    I critisice when I feel it's right but man enuff to say well played BFC and those their toneet!

    Welcome to the jungle!

    When I met LJ before the start of the season he was very impressive and persuaded me it was worth getting a season ticket. He's definitely got the gift of the gab and is really personable and seems honest enough. However, he's not yet proved he can cut it in football management and will always be judged on results. I'm prepared to give him more time, but there needs to be a significant upturn in fortunes sooner rather than later...

    They didn't really say anything that you don't already know. No revelations, no secret clubs. They're working hard to get it right and that was obvious from there demeanour as much as there answers.

    Truth about JOS
    Truth about Waring
    About Hammill
    About releasing players
    About BM been a mental case with refs and 4th officials
    Digby!
    The moment LJ signed his contract, spoke to his dad bout the fact that he was going to be Head Coach not manager! It's written in his contract he's 100% got a final say on who signs.
    Truth about conversation with Hammill

    It was really good

    Interested in Waring elaboration. Suspect can't say much about Digby as can't see it being positive.

    Truth about Waring - Is that his injuries?

    About Hammill and Coversation with Hammill - Can you elaborate?

    Diggers! Due to injury he's lost 2 years development . So at 20-21 he's more like 17-18 in his 'footballing' and learning. With England scene pace of game is more suited to him. Then comes into L1 starting line up and he's an 'old head' in a really young team but still not experienced. They've thought of best position, CH, DM etc but know cos of his size folk think he's suited to a role he's not ready for!

    It was summat and nowt really. Fitness of players that would damage their prospects rather than what people would like to know about the club. I don't think anything said would change people's opinions - if you don't like Ben and Lee, fair enough, this meeting probably wouldn't have changed your mind, but if you're willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, I don't think you could have come away from it without believing at least they're genuine and honest.

    If they're not, I'm even more impressed, because being genuine is a **** of a had trick to pull off if you haven't actually got it.

    Thats nothing new about Digby but did he say why he's criticised him twice this season in press conference.

    It's been said a bit by Danny Wilson and Ben Mansford but I keep an eye out for these things.
    It seems hes very harsh on him but Pearson and Scowen make the same mistakes and nothings said.
    Good to see people sharing info though.

    It was more about the way they spoke about the situation rather than what they revealed. Wipe away the ******** and you get a decent synopsis about what's going on at BFC from the statements issued. Trouble is, you need a Vileda super mop, a gallon of disinfectant and the entire production crew of How Clean Is Your House to whittle what they say down to what's important. Tonight it was laid bare.

    They are just words though , it's actions we need to see.

    Sick of hearing words
