For me another really positive and enjoyable forum last night!
Abundantly clear that this board appreciate the importance of building a relationship with the fans and the level of transparency is night and day to what we were subjected to before. We might not all agree on various issues but fan engagement is at least permitted and encouraged under this regime.
Really great to see merchandise available at the forum too. This may seem a small thing, but again what a difference to what we had before and a no brainer for getting in extra income. Nice touch with John "working the till" personally too. From what I have heard there were obstacles to getting the shop open last night so this was the perfect solution (and it looked like they sold a fair bit.)
For me the big takeaway message from all the forums so far has been the acknowledgement of how negative a presence McGowan has been , and continues to be at the club. The ice rink shambles is a perfect example. Nothing to do with the club yet its our reputation that is damaged by the usual standard of McGowans projects. Oh and the fantastic company that designed the Web site has gone bust! I for one am shocked to hear that a company linked to this guy has gone out of business and failed to deliver what was promised!! We need a fit for purpose club web site and on line club shop ASAP and it goes without saying, that for me the sooner McGowan is fully gone the better.
Long may the forums continue! Win loose or draw, very happy with those that are running our CLUB now. Yes there are still issues and no one would claim that things are perfect, but at least we have the reassurance that there are people working in the best interests of the club and us as fans.
Massive thank you to the board, keep it up please.
