sutton rule and flatman are gonna be busy manning the phones every week

Credit where credit is due I would say, they have responded and it looks good.

We asked for action and they have done it.

We asked for new players and they have done it.

Things are looking a whole lot better than a few ago, even the team is playing with passion.

TBH Interest in ISA's has been really low since the credit crunch.

I am aware of that. The results however have ony just been published.

More specifically the actions as a result of the survey have only just been published, presumably they took time to formulate and approve.

The alternate would have been to publish in a couple of weeks and the be accused of "only doing something becuase of the ISA."

Presumably, but we don't know for certain.

Anyway I don't believe that it is because of the HISA threat, I was just commenting like I have already said.

Although I do believe the club would much rather just have the toothless FCVoices to deal with rather than a new HISA fan club.

The main point is the club have listened to the fans, for once.

if we offered kingy a pay off (30k) for example he'd take it.

How many teeth do you think a new HISA would have?

The advantage of an ISA over something like FC Voices is purely it's representative structure, which would theoretically lend more weight to any suggestions/requests it put forward. However, the club would still be free to ignore it - witness the demise of 'old' HISA for example.

Not much more, but they do seem to have Voices nicely in their pocket but you are right they would both end up as useless as each other quite frankly.

I see this as a bit of a bod blow to the new ISA, it's almost like the club saying it isn't really required.

What on earth makes you say that?

It was the "toothless" FC Voices that pushed for a survey so the club could see how the fans felt, but don't let facts get in the way.

Given the way HISA ended up last time around can you really blame the owners of the club from being some what aprehensive about a newly formed band of brothers.
I am sure they watch this board even if they don't admitt it. They can clearly see what the agenda is of the vocal ones.
You may consider that Voices is toothless, that is your opinion and you are entitled to it. But so long as the owners of the club are in communication with a section of the supporters of the club. A section that has a reasonably good cross section of the support, then surely that is better than not listening at all.
FC Voices are independent of the club. That has been explained on many occassions. If you fail to believe that then so be it. Don't let facts get in the way of any good conspiracy theory.

The only way that there will be no need for groups such as Voices would be if we had shareholders. The chances of that are dim and distant as things stand. Until that day I am certain that the club are better off speaking with a level headed group who can distance themselves from extreme emotion. That does not have to be Voices, but it certainly would not be a militant group who just want people out for the sake of getting them out.
The thing that people fail to realise is that unlike in the glory days of say the 80s the club is a business, which has to be run professionally. In the 80s we had a chairman and a board who would sign blank chqs and that in turn lead to the rapid demise of the club as we knew it. Glory days yes, but ultimamtely it almost lead to the closing down of the club. Would you want that again.? I want glory for the club as much as the next person and I do believe this is the worst "team" I have had the pleasure of seeing in B&W in terms of their achievements compaired to their potential. But what would be the point of abusing the owners of the club because of that.

In the mean time you can have your say on what is brought up by Voices by suggesting to them via email, phone call, facebook or on here and I am certain that they would bring it up with the club. Providing your suggestions are nothing as pointless as sack the board or the coach etc.
