saintscottofthenortham Posted 14 October, 2010 Share Posted 14 October, 2010 We were due one, then all that happened with AP resulted in it being postponed. Postponed means on hold til a later date. I PRESUME this is to allow both NA to settle in and for us to get to grips with the changes. Otherwise a fans forum would be waste of time.

Scudamore Posted 14 October, 2010 Share Posted 14 October, 2010 Source? Well there isn't one of course! Sure i remember mention of there being one in the new year mind... By then we should be in the top two having just made the January signing of Michael Owen so Cortese can look forward to much backslapping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously putting of the Fan's Forum until we're five points clear at the top of the league and nobody can remember the last time we conceded a goal.

I don't think anything 'official' has come out of the club yet (so nothing to postpone). The only thing I'm aware of is the comments from NC at that dinner the other week.

See this is why the forum has gone downhill. At no point did I say anything like that. I think the club should communicate better with the fans on issues like this. I would say that whoever was in charge. Notice that I never said Cortese either just the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you did there, instead of the 5+ pages of debate, you went straight to the conclusion! Anyway, I just like to add that I haven't seen any annoucement of a Fans Forum to postpone, but think it's a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Warrior Posted 14 October, 2010 Share Posted 14 October, 2010 Hypo yes I do and some are being sarcastic so know Im not jumping to conclusions Why doesnt somebody contact the club directly to see if there is or isnt going to be a fans forum this season.

Wes Tender Posted 14 October, 2010 Share Posted 14 October, 2010 There have been some pretty devastating changes that might well have influenced the Club's decision on this. The normal time for it to have taken place was just before the start of the season. There might have been a line of questioning then about the security of Pardew's managership and criticism of a rather poor pre-season. Then came the death of Markus Liebherr and inevitably there would have been requests for assurances that the family would continue to support the club financially, although otherwise it might not have been an ideal time anyway, out of respect for the family. Then followed the dismissal of Pardew, so reasonable to postpone it until a new manager had been appointed and got his feet under the table. Otherwise the inevitable line of questioning would have surrounded the circumstances that led to Pardew's going and speculation as to who would replace him. It would be nice to still have a forum, but a lot of the questions that will be asked will inevitably rake over old coals. But my feeling is that the mood amongst fans has changed to coincide with some decent recent results for Adkins and admiration for the way that he has apparently turned around the team into a more confident and stronger unit, playing attractive football. Perhaps a few more matches won in style like the last one and many of the previous issues will cease to have as much importance in most people's minds. Mind you, there is always the worry that some of those on here who delight in posting vitriolic and venomous posts seemingly from an agenda of personal spite, could attend the forum and have a public platform to cause mischief. But then they would have to be very careful that they weren't prosecuted for slander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't an attempt at humour, it was a tired line that people trot out when they disagree with someone elses opinion. People jump straight to assuming that I (or other posters saying similar things) am saying "Cortese is a c*nt" when in reality I am saying none of the sort.

saint_mears Posted 14 October, 2010 Share Posted 14 October, 2010 The assumed reason for no radio solent fans forum was nothing more than Cortese unwilling to give Pardew the gig.
