Just a tenner Forbes - and you get all the other benefits of membership at the same time

Are we allowed to ask naughty questions, or are we expected to be as well behaved as the last lot?

[RG30]

When will STAR get another Fans Forum with JM and Nigel Howe?

When will STAR get another Fans Forum with JM and Nigel Howe?

We discussed whether this should include them but SC prefers to be on his own and as this will be his first this season we thought it would be more popular (it certainly is for us). We have in mind that we will try to get an extra one next year for just non-playing matters but haven't yet broached the subject with the club.

Cheers, less of the player forums and more club/management forums is the way forward

Thanks STAR for the time and trouble you go to to set these up they really are most entertaining evenings and much appreciated.

Would be good to be able to do 4 a season with the fourth being a "floating" Forum (i.e. any time of the year as and when required) specifically with JM, Nigel Howe, Nicky Hammond to specifically talk about off the field and non-first team squad matters.

Be great to have SC at last though he's managed to avoid it for a year now!

[Royal Lady]

It'll be his last one, I wager.

[cmonurz]

Perhaps we can make it tough for him, for a change.

I'm sure he's bricking it.

I know there is a preception that the written questions are so that they can be sanitised.

But as far as I am aware the only questions that have been sent in and not asked are the left-of-field non-football ones, and they are very few and far between. Sometimes several similar questions are combined to save repetition but that is all.

At the risk of getting deliberately provocative questions why not send in the ones you want asked.

[cmonurz]

I'm just being a bit harsh; I've only ever attended these during the 'good times' when there wasn't much to whinge about, but the notes from the last forum read like a bit of a love-in.

Will certainly be 'interesting' if we are relegated by the time of the forum.

I think you may find that many find it harder to be harsh face to face with the person than when anonymous.

Steve

Why are we in this current mess on the pitch, is it your fault or the players?

[Scrappy]

Will he want to do this so close to the Derby game? I may pay the tenner to join STAR again just to be able to attend.

[Dirk Gently]

It's definitely confirmed, yes.

Good stuff, may attend then.

[The 17 Bus]

If he is no longer manager what then?? Would hope he still attends.
