Thursday 14th July at 7pm. This is going to be interesting...

I doubt it.

They won’t answer the questions, they’ll tell the fans to be patient and give MD time.

They’ll talk about building sustainably and long term strategy.

They won’t admit if crowds continue to fall that we’re done.

They won’t admit they took the cheap option in MD, they’ll claim they had multiple applicants but MD was the best.

They won’t acknowledge that this is their mess.

I stopped going to these after the first question asked was "when will we get vegetarian burgers in the food outlets?"

I agree with this 100% it will be rigged in Nigels favour.. There is no way he would line himself up to be ambushed by a hostile crowd.
unless the exciting news is bringing in a multi million pound backer with a firm plan to develop odsal.
This is unlikely though as if this was the case they would have been taking on an SL quality coach last week when they had the chance.

Interesting that the forum falls in with a training session so the players will likely be in attendance. I wonder if that will put off some questions about performances from the crowd.

How many will call out our fatties with said fatties sat across from them.

George Flanagan has already offered to meet one vocal Twitter personality to discuss his concerns. Could be a dark day.

The fact that GF offered a fan out online for questioning a very bad performance and it went unchecked by the club speaks volumes about the level of Professionalism at the Bulls tbh, imagine this happening under Brian Smith, Matty Elliot or Noble? ... the back tracking by GF afterwards doesn't hide the fact that is exactly what he did do..

There is no doubt that is why Nige has combined it with an open training session, with pre vetted questions **nothing to see here we are in great shape***
Vegetarian catering options are on the way so don't worry.lol

Hmm. It'll take actual deeds rather than fine words to persuade me that all is well, I've heard plenty of complete rubbish at forums in the past and will be giving this one a miss. The physical condition of some of the players is worse than I've seen it since the 1980s.

Never forget Paul Medley telling us the club were on the brink of great things owing to its focus on youth. He really played the crowd and got a huge roar. Then he took a job at the RFL and only months later PH said if we didn't give them half a million quid the club would close. They got the half a million quid to get the directors off the hook and then went into admin anyway. It spoiled my impression of Medley who I'd always admired and I never attended another forum.

That night he and McB talked utter *****. They both swanned off to the RFL and we were left with a crock.

For all of the mess they started, Hood, Duckett and co were far more competent than the current lot.

If we knew what was to follow it was probably worth the club folding after admin 1!

Anyone on here going to the forum tonight?

I’d rather watch the coverage of the Conservative leadership contest.

If I’m going to listen to a load of inept, shady character talking about their ‘long term plans’ I’d prefer to do it from the sofa

I'll be going. I'll try and make some notes and post on here afterwards.

Thanks pal. I expect some people will attend and try and ask some difficult questions. Nigel is quite the politician so I'm not expecting anything revelatory.

My predictions:

It will be late starting.
It will be wrapped up promptly and there will be very little time for ‘questions from the floor’.
There will be plenty of things said to play to the crowd but very little substance.. ‘stadium progress is on-going but we can’t divulge anything further at this time’ blah blah.

Thank you for offering the summary.

Further predictions. There won't be enough staff on at the bar and the beer you want will need the barrel changing just as you order. There won't be enough chairs out so you'll have to drag one in from the next room. The mircrophones won't work properly or the users won't know how to use them. There will be very little substance to any of the answers. It will come to an end as soon as anyone starts to ask anything that hasn't been vetted beforehand.
