Duncan replaced Mike Graham as the rep for WATR - Mike resigned as he had too many other commitments.

I think you're both talking about different games. In the away game we had 2 on target, at home 8. The home game was one of those where the goalie had a blinder.

Not wishing to detract from KHod as he certainly made his opinions felt but he was far from the only one who did so in the meeting. Inevitably what appears on the minutes of a meeting cannot reflect everything what was said and more importantly how it was said.

If a number was mentioned I must have missed it, which is always possible. It was a challenging meeting to take minutes at because there were a lot of people there so it was sometimes difficult to hear everything said at the far end of the table. I have just had a look at the minutes I took and I do not have any numbers, or rather there were a lot of numbers but not the one you're looking for.

Because it is a long held policy on the Forum and the norm in most organisations to wait until the minutes are issued before discussing them. As you will remember Simon from when you were on the Forum.

I don’t know where you got the idea that I don’t know when the minutes will be out. As I said somewhere over the weekend there were a couple of loose ends to tidy from our side and they have I think been sorted. I’m also a bit mystified why you and a few others are obsessing about the number of season tickets sold at a date 2 weeks ago, about 3 weeks from the early bird deadline. To put you out of your misery there is no figure in the minutes as no one asked the question. I’m relaxed about that because it would have been a meaningless figure whatever it was. The great majority of people who were going to buy will be doing in the last week. What would be the point in paying two weeks ago?

The club aren't sitting on them - I have a version approved but I'm just checking with the chair on a couple of points. He has a day job (unlike me) so it could take a little while.

There were certainly lots available when I bought mine on I think Thursday.

I've never been Chair. I have been the secretary ever since I joined the Forum in 2009 and still am.

It will all be on the minutes but I see no reason not to list them now. The top 6 attend most meetings these days. Steve Waggott Chief Executive Suhail Shaikh Chief Operating Officer Lynsey Talbot Head of Operations Christina Haines Admin., Access and Inclusion Officer/Supporter Liaison Officer Rudy Gestede Head of Football Operations Yasir Sufi Head of Commercial & Partnerships Adam Owen Head of Technical Development Anna Melia Head of Marketing

I think this time it was because there had not been a Forum for longer than usual and there was clear unrest from the fan base. Although we have also seen more people attending from the club in general over the last year or two. Rudy Gusted has attended pretty much since he was appointed, Suhail Shaikh has been a few times etc.

The minutes are agreed jointly between the club's management and the Forum members, effectively myself as Secretary and Mark as Chair. On the club side anyone who came to the meeting I assume sees any sections referring to themselves but ultimately it is Steve Waggott. For the last meeting there were a lot of attendees from the club which inevitably slows the process down a bit. Us agreeing to the minutes does not of course mean that we agree with all they say, only that they are an accurate record of what was said. For Old Codger on the season ticket thread the minutes are sometimes changed after the meeting to reflect updated information. If this happens I clearly mark it as such. There is as far as I know no intention to do that this time.

I expect them to be out early next week.

Northcote has finally been sold and Lisa Goodwin-Allen has come back as a result - https://www.northcote.com/northcote-announces-new-owners-alf-and-clare-ellis-as-lisa-goodwin-allen-returns-as-chef-patron/?utm_source=revinate&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Announcement E-Shot April 2025-714027 It looks like the long planned changes will also now happen.
