To my surprise, we (the people working onsite) have been told strictly nobody is to speak to him or those with him, even if we are spoken to. If we do we risk being escorted off site.
Others working here have told me that this is common practice when working here, with the same rules applied to the players before/after training.
There must be 20 season ticket holders, and regular away fans on this site. Was excited to start this next few weeks of work, bit of a dampener on it now.

both bits of it for me leave a bad taste, like we aren't worthy of saying hello to someone that at a weekend we cheer on passionately.
guess its where we are as a club being a PL team | | | |

I get it to a degree, but ‘even if spoken to’ would lead to a remarkably weird situation! 😁 |  |

Shame. Also feels a bit short sighted to me because while you don't want tons of workers fan girling our players and new manager, I would view it as a good opportunity to give GON a sense of the community, the depth of passion for the club in the area etc. Bit of a gentle reminder of the people he's representing on a Saturday afternoon, paying their hard earned to fund his wages etc. Especially in his first few days, a real life example that he's joined something big. |  | | |

Ashton: 'How did you find today Gary?'
GON: 'Really good thanks, the training ground is looking class. Have to say the workers are moody, I asked a couple of them how the build was and they looked at me like I'd asked to tickle their balls'. | | | |

Not everyone onsite is a Town, or football fan. A quick walk by and handshake surely wouldn't have ended the world.
Not GON's doing I might add, as seems to be the norm up here | | | |

In Ashtons recent video he said a lot of weird sh!t to be fair in his opening speech.
Total weapon. |  | | |

With the amount of scepticism over O'Neil's appointment I would have thought a smiley photo with the site workers would have been a nice positive bit of PR. |  | | |

Not a word about it. Strict no photo policy that I fully appreciate.
Presumably you're offended by this, strange. But takes all sorts, doesn't it. | | | |

Might still happen, you never know. But my guess would be it's totally staged if it happens | | | |

Oh, I’m sure the standard ‘politician’ photo with a hard hat, hi viz and a spade is already choreographed to the nth degree [Post edited 26 Jun 11:41]

The OP doesn’t mention Ashton at all, but let’s make this about him. | |

It's only because they don't want people telling him about MAs bull and to stop people asking him about cheese |  | | |

Who else would give out a instruction like that the admin staff or the CEO / Chairman who has ultimate power? | | | |

I'm not sure positive PR is our forte to be fair. | | | |

Really?!
I would acknowledge any player/member of coaching team I saw around the place, whatever I am told, especially if they say hi to me!
I wouldn't grill a player on a missed chance at the weekend, but saying "good morning" to a "colleague" is polite and what you should do. |  |

Yeah because if the likes of Man City or Liverpool etc see our brilliant training facilities on social media they are gonna crap themselves. Despite our new facilities being an improvement on the previous (which wouldn’t be hard) it’s hardly Carrington or Melwood. Think we have a way to go before we have facilities like the Etihad Campus which we would probably name the Ashton Campus although we all know if should either be the Ramsey or Robson campus !!! | | | |
