The FF worked well when it was two sets of people across the table pulling in the same direction. Issues like the price of pies really were the most concerning thing on the day as the likes of John Williams were trusted to get on with the macro stuff.

Now both sides aren’t pulling in the same direction and the FF are being expected to pull the regime up on all kinds of strategic  stuff it was never intended for when it set up in more simpler times.

The FF hasn’t changed, the club has. It’s somehow ended up in this position by default as the last forum standing. Ergo other supporter consultations (I.e the ones they quietly dropped around Covid) need bringing back ASAP, and the FF can go back to its modus operandi, I.e the lower level retail stuff - of course they won’t bring them back as this set up works perfectly fine for the regime.

Up there with the best post ever made on here Matty.

The fans forum now need to accept that despite their good intentions, they are doing more harm than good and I call on them to disband and stop the club from taking the easy option in terms of their obligations to have dialogue with fans groups.

July 2023 - Waggott boasting about continuing to attend both Fans Forum and Supporter Consultation Meetings, even though the latter he disbanded three years previous during Covid under safety reasons and haven't occurred since. 

They're laughing at us.

Maybe these minutes from previous meetings now need to be revisited. If false minutes have been standard practice, an explanation needs to be made. 
Why has this been allowed to happen?

Comments doesn't help mate, you are better than this. O2G does a fantastic job in the minutes sometime he has been doing for some time

I think you are very wide of the mark here and if you care to do a bit more research and speak to people who attended the meeting (especially this who want for the first time) you will understand what is really going on here.

The club use these meetings as a way of meeting their obligations and are literally getting an easy rise and taking the fans for mugs.

Some will accept this and some won't and you are free to choose the former, but this is creating more harm than good and I stand by my call for the Fans form to disband.
