    See above. It's definitely not an open meeting.

    I agree this one did seem to fly under the radar. First I knew of of it was updates via matchday drinkers on twitter and the issue of secretiveness clearly came up as it was mentioned, as fired has said there's usually any question posted on here not sure how much interaction went into it on other platforms but this particular meeting does seem anything but open.

    The owners are a select band of ninjas and you only get an invite if your 'nunchuks' are big enough o_O

    Personally felt they were a bit premature reporting the 4 second pint news

    Fair do. Was trying to act as some kind a mediator.

    Although I didn't realise there was a distinction between an open meeting and fan group reps.

    I assumed they were the same set of ongoing meetings. Which might add to the confusion for some.

    A simple title change of meeting type probably would suffice in these instances going forwards

    Ie
    Open Fan Forum Q&A
    Fan Groups Reps Q&A

    Or summat like...

    Yeah better naming would make sense as well

    Given JAQ’s is an Aussie and they put ies or ey on everything maybe Fannies Forum although Open Fannies Forum might be a step too far

    The fire started to flicker in about 2012/13 and the embers crackled for a couple of seasons after but it was definitely a struggle and this is from someone who had lived and breathed the club for 30+ years, so I get where the more passionate fans are but believe me one day you might be where I am now and you'll probably look back and wonder why I wasted so much time money and energy. I can't remember last match I attended it would have been the 16/17 season but I do remember walking out the Ponty that it would be my last time and that's how it's been, I do still keep an eye on what's happening but I feel no connection anymore to the club.
    One thing I do know is you definitely see a clearer picture looking from the outside compared to the in
