The best possible message that people can send out to the club here, is just don't turn up. Not a single soul. They'll only be laughing at you in the car on the way back, anyway. I agree to an extent, but that’s also letting them off the hook. An angry room is what’s required unfortunately.

I can see Tricky picking up a late knock and Simon King subbed on. His is the only part of the club that has shown (limited) improvement.

Right after a 0-5 thraping, 100 days since a home win and 4 points from the trap door. The mood will be as dark as the February sky.

This could be interesting.
I’ve asked. ‘What do you blame for the current malaise around the club’.

A bit cowardly Yep, I expect it will start with a bit of gentle joshing between the 'boys' about Valentines day next week a nice gentle long hop of a question about the fanzone which can be hit to the boundary.

it's probably a pointless exercise because all the questions will be either stupid ones like the Oatcake one or even the slightly more challenging ones will be easily answered.
"despite spending loads of money in the past eight hours, the football club has made no progress of any kind. We have gone from a top half Premier League club to being genuinely concerned about relegation to League One. What does the club think is the reason for this?" is a better one.

This forum and thread should come up with our top 5 questions to ask?
I’ll start…
1. What is the thinking behind not signing a proven left back in several transfer windows? 2.

Q: "Jon, how relieved are you that levels of supporter apathy are so great that it's unlikely a braying mob will storm the Waddington Suite and throw a table at your head in protest at your shocking mismanagement of the club (as happened to your dad circa 1997)?"

Thats a perfectly acceptable opening gambit to get the show started in my opinion. I’d be asking Richard Martin how many of his 18 summer acquisitions he thinks have proven themselves to be successful signings for the club. In my estimation, 4/18 are decent or promising while the others have been a disaster.

On Thursday night could be interesting. I’ve not sent my questions off yet but I’ll be working hard on them tomorrow to try to word them cleverly enough but still challenging that they don’t get veto’d. Anyone else going? I wouldn’t be surprised if some are actually vocal in the crowd and they’d have every right to be to be honest. John Coates needs to be told face to face. Thursday night, I was under the impression it was advertised and due to be hosted on Wednesday evening?

Ricky The winning culture is taking time to gell , Stephen has had every possible support but sadly hasn't delivered Jared and I will continue to seek top draw cultural architects driven by data and hope in time Steven learns his craft Jesus Christ hell has frozen over! That is the 1st post of yours I actually didn't have to work out what the hell you were saying . Admittedly not been on much lately, so most of your posts may have been ok.

Id like to know We have clearly been the recipients of major investment from the owners over many seasons but there is absolutely no evidence of even marginal gains in the League table. This despite regularly changing managers, going through numerous squad rebuilds and changing the structure of the Club. Why?

Emailed my questions this morning. Don't expect a single one to be asked but if they get a flood of similar questions then surely even Radio Stoke may have to ask one half-tricky question, or is that too much to hope:
What has gone wrong with the Club over the past 8 years and why are there no signs of improvement? How far is the Board prepared for the Club to decline? Why is player recruitment so poor and why can’t the recruitment team see the needs that the fans can clearly see - a decent left back, half-decent centre backs and a forward who can score? What price will season tickets be in League One? Is the Board ashamed to have thrown away the Club’s reputation and money over the past 8 years? Who is to blame for the Club’s plight and why is no-one taking responsibility? Why has the Bet365 turned from a fortress into an easy 3 points for away teams?

Questions will be vetted as usual so it’s probably a pointless exercise at this moment in time.Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if there’s a virus round the club come midweek 😊

Why don’t you voice your opinion at one of these fans forums or even better take your blanket off when your sat next to all these folk in your seat in the Upper tier We both know the answer. He's a cowardly little creature who only appears when we've lost. Why the hate? He's been right far too often. I'm sick of this 'positive non critical' culture you are all living in, all whilst being hypocritically offensive towards another person. It's fucking annoying to be honest, verging on bullying. I don't know who he is but at least he posts and his views are consistent and often correct. I mean, the team is shit, recruitment is shit, and the fans have have fuck all to do with it.
