The AGM was so good that we never voted on last year’s minutes

Also Ian was wrong in his point as Lofthouse has pointed out.

Voting was and is a waste of time when they vote to issue even more shares for nothing.

When the team hit a sticky patch then will be time to judge.

There are too many good people being fobbed off by the control freaks.
It’s sad but it will all end badly in my opinion

For me there is an awful lot of the future of the club riding on the new stadium as this appears to be the only way the Fulton’s can be repaid. In the current climate of brexit, and any other excuses, I can’t see the investment of the new stadium going ahead. The longer it takes the more I feel things will only become very difficult to move forward with any confidence.

On field is going well and could be sustained for the next few years. Better decisions are being made and more people are doing more for the club and all appears well. We are in a good place in many areas just now. Long may this continue.

In view of how some things have been done regarding shares and the way the control of the club has been handed to one person I am not so sure that in the next 5 years thingsi will be as good as they are just now.

I do not like or agree with the way the club has more or less been handed on a plate to one person and for this I see one man as the big reason why. Too many unanswered questions for me and Ibfeel we will never find out until it’s too late. I have no issue with the loans owed but the way things are being handled is very very poor in my view. We shall see.

I've no problem with people questioning things we should always be looking to be better rarther than saying look how well we've done last few years
Doubt we will ever have a chance like this again with the coach we have the squad we've got the fantastic support we have for a town of just over 40,000 people and the chance of a new ground
Happy New year everybody

You obviously know far more about this than the majority on here Robbo, so can you explain to me and probably others, if Cas hit this "sticky patch" what do you think will happen? What is the nightmare scenario? Not on a wind up here just interested to see what you think will happen and why?

If we have a bad season, most teams could have this scenario, then the consequences are falling attendances. If we have a bad run with injuries, as any team could, this will also impact their n things.

The big problem I feel is if the new stadium doesn’t happen, why does anyone think it will just now with the state of the country and brexit issues, this is where things get sticky for want of another phrase. No new ground, stay at WR will mean there isn’t any money to improve it. If the loans outstanding are called in then unless there is anyone out there willing to pay the current owner then we are either out of business or the current continues to keep the loan in place.

When you hear what he has done so far this for me is far more worrying than having a bad season or two. If we have a bad season or two and there isn’t any money to improve the squad, as the current situation appears to be, then would the coach stay in place? If not then what?

Having said this I feel we have the coach to win us trophies, the players if we stay fit can challenge and the crowds should be good if these two things happen. We have had some good years since DP was put in place and he seems to be a loyal kind of guy so for me looking good just now.

It’s the off field antics that are the concern for me. Do I trust IF and the BOD? No I don’t, not one bit.

I worry the BOD is no longer balanced in the sense they have removed shareholders.
As there is little that I can do it’s a case of enjoying the match and let them get on with it.
We have no plan b and the ground is not going to happen in my opinion.
So we need some serious cash very soon

If Mr Caddick had takeover many moons ago, just think how different things could have been. Imagine the new south stand in place of our aging wooden stand!

I find myself in agreement on this one Robbo( did l really say that!)
Warm weather training to play games in February in England.
Climate change hasn't gone that far yet.
As for what may or may not have gone on hopefully Sunday will answer it's effectiveness.
