The questions are vetted. It has beencan open forum in the past but all question will be the easy ones to answer. 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. The fanzone should not be discussed and if it is them it’s a sign the board are completely deluded and out of touch. They should realise that fannying around with kudos projects when we are in deep shit is both belittling and a lbs affront to fans. There is no point creating a fucking fanzone when front of house is totally fucked-I.e the product on the pitch. Pissing around spending money on this, upgrading the training ground etc I get from the fact it is not FFP reliant, but it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth- the training ground especially as it seems to attract idle fucking loafers who want premier league surroundings, good money and to comfortably see out contracts with us with minimum effort/giving a shit about the club or the fans.

I agree with the sentiment but find the profanities dilute the effectiveness.

If they were running the club properly then they should be able to do everything all at the same time. I get your point though because simply put they are doing a shyte job of running the club. It's that simple. Clueless.

Doesn't look like any snow for Stoke now. Just a bit of sleet and plenty of heavy rain. So that excuse has gone. Ricky's last throw of the dice will be claiming he's got food poisoning

Question: Do you consider the league position acceptable after the millions you have invested? Answer: We have a new fan engagement plan called Stoke City Connect. The future is very exciting. Question: There are rumours of discontent in the first team squad, can you throw any light on that? Answer: We have a new fan engagement plan called Stoke City Connect. The future is very exciting. Question: Do you consider that recruitment has become too data driven and ignores character appraisal? Answer: We have a new fan engagement plan called Stoke City Connect. The future is very exciting.
Thank you all for coming and have a safe journey home.

Sorry to sound thick (again) but when is it and what time? Can't be bothered to scroll through four pages of the thread.
Heard no mention of it on local radio.

After checking terms and conditions! 😉 Don’t do it. Show frustrations but remain rational. We need searching questions put in a fair manner to elicit proper answers with the host prompting and funnelling if not answered. We don’t seek apologies we want reasons and thinking behind decisions?

We don’t seek apologies we want reasons and thinking behind decisions? Yeah I'm not going to kick off, however tempting it may be! But if I have the opportunity, I will try to get a word in. I've sent a number of questions, worded sensitively in the hope they make it through the veto process but I don't hold much hope. My first was: Who was responsible for identifying Ricky Martin as a candidate for Technical Director and how many candidates did we interview?

From a club perspective this couldn't have come at a worse time, for a fan a good time I guess 👍.

Nope, like I said I don't hold much hope for any of them. I've also asked: why we've not signed a left back since Pieters in 2013? Why we've relied on frees, loans and academy goalkeepers since relegation? Why our home form has been so bad despite numerous managers and probably 100+ players used? Is there a contingency plan in place for relegation to league one?

I understand the frustration but as you rightly point out FFP prevents the money being spent on front of house but allows the Coates to spend as much as they like on upgrading the ground and training facilities. This is not the board's decision. All they could do was decide whether or not to spend the money. If you would rather say the team is rubbish so let's have a stadium and training ground to match then that's your opinion but I think the family are trying to show their willingness to invest in the club which doesn't deserve the ingratitude with which it is being met on here.

Response: What a great question, and look it’s important to us to get these kinds of questions. That’s why we’ve started a new fans engagement initiative… LGH and other fans in attendance “remaining calm”:
