Stay just as you are Grizzly.

Yes that would work. If 6 members, for example, submitted very similar comments, then a general reply would suffice. At the very least those 6 members could be sure that their concerns had been addressed.

I know this is an agreed governance issue Joe, but assuming that the club Board has 5 members, including 2 employees, are we saying that Society reps are outnumbered 3:2?

Sorry, don't agree. Given the posters involved, the Society will know who they are. The ones who have commented on here are extremely unlikely to be emailing them constantly over multifarious trivial issues. Unless the communication is illegal in nature, fractious or abusive then I think members are entitled to a reply. The Society does need to be more open. Its essential in fact.

I get that 100% Grizzly and I know a few others have become a bit disillusioned with the Society, as have I. The issue of the POD seats annoyed me. Of late, communication has been an issue for me. We are frequently kept informed of minor matters(nothing wrong with that per se), but not of major strategic matters such as the training complex or the feasibility report. As for the latter, I'm not expecting a detailed blow by blow account but simply an update on progress. In contrast, some members have encountered difficulties in getting their feedback taken on board or even considered. Not good enough for a fan led organisation. I have wondered of late just how much actual power the Society holds on the MFC board, despite being the proxy owner. Sorry for the off topic rant, but its been coming for a while, and Grizzly's post was the catalyst.

Absolutely. It wouldn't surprise me if we have to pay the fines immediately, but have to wait until the end of the season for our prize money. A parcel of rogues if ever there was one.

Talked to a Bantams fan this morning and they think the world of him. Devastated he is leaving.

Good post. At the end of the day, armchair fans rule. If they continue to pump their cssh into TV things will only get worse.

I kinda get your gist, but what is "horseshoe territory"? Not an expression I'm familiar with. Maybe just me.

9th, but I suspect you knew that. 3rd the season before that.

I should have added the usual caveat of not abusing anyone or cursing.

Duplicate post - please remove.

I agree in principle, but don't think we are reluctant to go long. Thats one of the biggest differences, for me, between JBA's team and AJ's team. We are now playing more long balls, irrespective of who is in the team.

Great post. Thats it for many - a relatively harmless way to let off pent up steam.

That was an important game for sure and a turning point. Celtic will prove to be a far sterner test and I won't judge AJ and his team too harshly if we don't win. I am looking for a good performance from us though and one which demonstrates progress over what we've seen so far. Probably the Kilmarnock game will be a better yardstick. The following Hearts game will also be a good indicator.
