Lack of communication from VP .. An idea to the Mods

Withes Sweatbands wrote:What if it was done in a courteous and professional manner. .. a proper fans representative like Taylor Collymore even someone like Tom Ross if they don't fancy meeting someone from the forums themselves .. It's just an idea that i think would put some of the nonsense to need once and for all of we actually had an idea of what was going on .. No specifics required just the principle of what we are trying to do as a club to move forward ..

I'll speak to the others dude, I'm up for trying.... something!

I'm sure the other mods will all see this and we'll have the conversation, I'm just letting you know not to have high hopes  :)

Could the MODS put differences aside (if there are any of course) and contact the MODS from other fOrums and supporters groups with the view to a joint request to Tom Fox to meet a representative of the cOmbined forums to air our frustration at the lack of communication coming out of the club and other concerns such as investment etc .... Doesn't have to be a multitude of people he meets just 1 or 2 or maybe even someone like Ian Taylor acting on our behalf ..... Just an idea .... What do you think ... I think may just entertain the idea

Good post this WS and a really important concern for us fans. I'd personally be all up for it and happy to take part. I think we need to gauge the views of other members too (hopefully this will give the thread a bump) let's talk communication and what can be done? Beats moaning and waiting for a takeover.

Is WS right? A multi forum approach to the club to seek answers? (The Trust exist for this, but appear to never want to be seen as rocking the boat IMO)

There's the obstacle of getting different forums working together (we're open minded enough and don't have a problem chatting to other forums)

Re personalities, love or hate him Howard Hodgson does get to speak to those that matter, maybe some kind do initivatbe behind him? Or Jonny Gould? Or a few realistic and approachable people?

What would be the aim? Simply better ongoing communication? (The club could point towwars the Supportes consultation groups as evidence it does communicate) maybe try to get a spot on here for our forum?

All thinking out loud and for discussion?? UTV

I agree we need to be kept informed on this or at least something along the lines of Randys statement last year I don't mind not being sold just want clarification do we have bidders or not? Apart from that though I'm happy with the communication the club gives out and so far I'm pleased with the new AVTV.
