Amazing how, in a random ballot, they've managed to pick pretty much the blandest audience possible. Surely there's got to be at least one person there who's keen to ask a proper probing question.


Maybe the questions are vetted first?

I've been to a couple previously, and it's been organic - I was able to ask unvetted/unseen questions from the floor. That's not to say that it might not have changed since, though.

Disappointed at the doubling down on the programme covers, and the usual "you should see my inbox" line. I can't imagine that he was being bombarded by emails from those who missed having generic photos of squad players on the cover.

To be fair I know people who are 60/70+ who are traditionalists who hate the Call Me Ted stuff, but I doubt those would be the people who would be emailing Mark Ashton.

That's a fair point - and they're the ones more likely to send an angry email or green ink letter at the slightest annoyance or inconvenience.

Bit of a weird answer to that one - started off saying it was unfair to put out communication suggesting it was because of the sponsors, but then ended by essentially saying they took their view on it over the fans'.

That's what annoys me really, the problem is there are a load of people that go there who want to go there to be there, rather than to ask questions.

And the longer these events go on, the worse the questions become.

What was it? Something like 150-200 tickets available for the event, yet they're scrabbling around trying to fill the hour.

I don't know how it could be managed better, but surely they could have filled the room five times over with people who actually wanted to ask questions.

By my reckoning John Catton has been to all the forums. Just the luck of the draw I guess.

Im more annoyed with the sneering on this thread than the questions.

And i hope they do question why many fans will get to zero away games even after buying a membership.

I know they asked for questions on social media but it's quite easy to get a platform where people submit questions and other people then upvote/downvote them - that might be a good way of seeing what questions do want answered (at least from those online).

Is it so hard to ask questions. Even if they are awkward

Mark. Why do you feel you can be both chairman and ceo
Mark. Why did you refuse to discuss the programme cover
KM and Mark. What are your thoughts on the increased muscle injuries this season, what's behind that... ( just a mice footy question)

How close are we to being cat 1 Mark have you now changed your mind on it because it's now financially beneficial or has KM changed your mind about it..

What does KM feel about mcgreal as u21 manager is he getting enough from the players.


Why do you feel the need to ask awkward questions when the club is being well run.

If the ownership group were unhappy with Ashton doing both roles then they would step in.

You will be a real bundle of joy if it goes badly.

I think if you look at the answers to the Broadhead question and the one about the Call Me Ted covers you can get a flavour for how any tricky/probing question would be answered.

That's not to say they aren't worth asking but unless the club want to reveal something they won't

I agree. We beat Spurs away, and hence I believe that you should get at least 5 points for an away win, rather than the usual 3.

That's what you meant, yeah?

Why not? It's a fans forum to ask questions which we don't already know the answers of. Unfortunately those who asked didn't get the memo.

Nothing wrong with asking questions that actually would be interesting to know the answers of.

Asking pressing questions isn't an issue. They used to be asked by the journos so if they aren't done that way then nothing with supporters asking them.

Oh, apologies! I think I must have completely misjudged the tone of your post!

I'd read it more along the lines of "wow, I can't believe Fabio Wardley's luck. No away membership, but always seems to get his and five mates' names pulled out of the away ballot!"

I think it also dovetails in with the club's/Ashton's desire to try and stop the interesting/awkward questions from even being asked.

When he's dictating to Radio Suffolk what he will/won't be asked about during a fan phone-in, it only really leaves the Fans' Forum as the only place in which the awkward questions can be freely asked, even if they won't get a decent answer.

"What's in the player's contracts?"

Yes, that was always going to get a solid answer.


Think that's a fair question, was an issue when we went down and was discussed at AGMs etc at the time.
