Fans forum 13th Feb

Post by Latecomer »

Just received an E mail confirming my place, but the agenda for the evening appears to only have the coaches taking questions. Have sent the club an E mail to say I think both Simon Cohen and Peter Tom should be available to respond to supporters concerns. Anyone else find the lack of Board representation worrying?

Good news! Always been sceptical about these "open" forums having heard wendyball supporting mates telling tales of "plants" asking very comfortable questions! The board have bottled it again IMO leaving the poor coaching staff to be grilled! But still,questions need to be asked. Poor lineout for years,poor coaching set up,all the wrong records being broken,why are we leaderless, rudderless and directionless from top to bottom,awful second and back roe,massive drop off from first team to replacements,more injury prone players bring signed,J.Ford,God I wish I was there! Have I missed anything? ;)

The Tiger news of 27th January reported that Matt O'Connor, Ged Glynn, Simon Cohen ,Geordan Murphy, Boris Stankovich & Brett Deacon would be attending. I will be a little annoyed if the cast has changed.

Are you saw that Cohen and Glynn are not going to be there?

They usually are TBF so would be surprised if they both miss it, Tom well he does what he wants.

Although I expect the usual preapproved questions from preapproved people, which happens at open forums.

This is what I was worried about RB,they are never "open" forums,usually most questions come from plants and are incredibly comfortable!

I think in this case open just means it’s open to everyone, and not just say shareholders or season tickets or it’s focus groups it has. Not open as in anything goes.

Having attended two or three forums this time last year I can say all my questions to the stage were both searching and answered as honestly as they could at that time, ( in the midst of George Ford returning) and questions to the individual CEO & coaches afterwards was inspiring too. I am not a heavy plant! :smt043

I have been to most if not all of the Open Forums and have never been aware of any plant or pre-arranged questions. Could I suggest that if you have concerns you put raise your hand get off your backside and ask your question in a respectful manner. You at least will know you are not a plant.

And you really think this forum is a reliable source of accuracy without bias or erroneous opinion?
