    they're sending Karel Fraeye instead
  • Oh dear.

    I fear a riot at next week's FF meeting....

    Seriously, I'm guessing this may have come from Jose as he needs his players totally focused on matches now which makes sense.

    Some players will live the other side of the river and an hour or more's journey to a meeting and then back again isn't ideal at this moment in time.

    Mind you, had this been a NWKA (RIP) Q & A, I may have reacted differently....

    Any idea why?

    Is there a fans forum next week? That's a serious opportunity is it not?

    It is understandable really. They are battening down the hatches and hoping Riga can do something miraculous. This plan requires them to back him! That is good news in itself. I can't think of any other plan than has any chance of improving the situation from their perspective.

    Poor Stephen Henderson one minute it's "go outside and talk to the press Stephen" the next it's "don't talk to the fans Stephen".

    When Hendo and JBH came to Bromley, it was bad enough for them,
    but now it would be sadistic and pointless, just like our results of late.

    You have to hand it to that genial old Richard Murray. When he says the club realises the need for better communication, he really means it.

    What a man of his word.

    7/1/16: “I think we need to communicate with supporters better. The Board accepts it’s not been as good as it could and they are taking a number of steps to improve that" Richard Murray

    18/1/16: Apparently, Stephen Henderson has been removed from attending East Kent Addicks this week.

    They know that every question will be about the shambles behind the scenes. In that regard, I can see why they would not want to expose a player with already shredded confidence to that kind of evening.

    But if Murray meant what he said (and we all know it was for media consumption only) then someone from the board would have taken their place.

    if Fanny is right, and I bet she is, it would have been much better if the club had made a statement to this effect as it makes sense and the majority offs would understand
  • It's alright we're getting used to it... we have an owner that doesn't want to communicate with the fans of the Club he owns, he obviously relays that down; cough Katrien cough.

    Karel Fraeye and Hendo were due to attend. For obvious reasons, Karel was no longer attending and Hendo is now unable to attend.
    The club tried to find a replacement (I was tasked with this alongside our Player Liaison Officer) but others, understandably, aren't exactly queing up to take his place.
    Jon Fortune attended the U21 fixture this afternoon and he was asked by the club if he would be up for it. Thankfully, he agreed!
    That's the long and the short of it folks.
  • So now the club are boycotting the fans, what say you the fans return the favour and see who comes out better.

    In fairness, I can understand in his case more than anyone. He was hung out to dry last Tuesday. He deserves a break.

    So after attending Bromley and stepping in at Huddersfield as spokesman.
    I have one thing to say to you Badger.

    YOU CANN'T BE SERIOUS.

    At the November meeting, filmed and posted, I am pretty sure Katrien said the next Fan's Forum meeting would also be filmed and posted. it was one of the three points for action alongside the (lol) target 20,000 initiative.

    I am expecting the Fans Forum meeting to be cancelled, however Fanny, care to share the agenda with us?

    Only asking the question, he shouldn't have been put in the situation in the first place, unable to attend with an explanation would have been better.

    Sorry, Seth.

    As far as I know it hasn't been finalised yet.
