rooney Posted 8 January, 2020 Share Posted 8 January, 2020 This was advertised on the OS for tonight at 7pm in the Gasworks Bar. Cannot see a link anywhere so perhaps it is not being broadcast, which is unusual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saints-til-i-die Posted 8 January, 2020 Share Posted 8 January, 2020 Weird that it’s being shrouded in mystery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooney Posted 8 January, 2020 Author Share Posted 8 January, 2020 The advert on 31st Dec simply stated that Ralph, Martin Semmens and Toby Steele would be present and limited to 100 fans. No mention of big Adam. I would have hoped somebody in attendance, would give us some feed back on their I Phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saints-til-i-die Posted 8 January, 2020 Share Posted 8 January, 2020 I thought the whole point of these events was for greater transparency and to connect with the fans. What’s the point in a hidden meeting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miserableoldgit Posted 8 January, 2020 Share Posted 8 January, 2020 They are not really shrouded in mystery. They are normally mentioned on the OS and anyone can apply to go. I went to one last season and someone on here reported what was said the following day. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last few were hosted by Adam Blackmore and live on Radio Solent. There were constant media reminders about the events prior to them taking place. This time Blackmore doesn’t seem to be there and it’s not on the radio or being live streamed. That is clearly shrouding it in more mystery than the others. That’s undeniable and I am surprised you would try to argue otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserableoldgit Posted 8 January, 2020 Share Posted 8 January, 2020 (edited) God this is getting boring! How difficult is this to understand? There have been many Radio Solent (normally pre-Season) Forums. The club hold their own regular Fans Forums to 100 fans who submit questions. These are not broadcast on Radio Solent. Here is the one that I went to on 17th January 2019 There are other videos of forums on Youtube. I have no doubt that this one will be shrouded in mystery until they put it on Youtube in the next couple of days for all to see.... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06gt81l Edited 8 January, 2020 by miserableoldgit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErwinK1961 Posted 8 January, 2020 Share Posted 8 January, 2020 You still fail to answer the question of why it wasn’t live steamed. Transparency isn’t sending out an edited version after the event. Not all are live streamed, there was one earlier in the season that wasn’t live streamed at Staplewood. Video of the full event was then put on YouTube a couple of days later and there was a fan who put a load of info on Twitter about it straight afterwards.

Transparency isn’t sending out an edited version after the event.I didn't make any comment about live-streaming and have no idea why the club doesn't live stream. I was merely making the point that they are not "shrouded in mystery", that the opportunity is there if anyone wants to submit questions to have a chance to attend these forums. I am not aware that the club held these before RH came, so they are a newish innovation. They are put on YouTube in full the following day.

saints-til-i-die Posted 9 January, 2020 Share Posted 9 January, 2020 You still ****ing whinging. You could call in whinging if you like. It’s a football fan forum here where the whole point is to express views about the football club. That’s the purpose of this site you are on. The club said they wanted better communication with the fans and more transparency. Their words and aim. I would like to have gone but the club made you submit questions in advance and then selected 100 people. I don’t understand why they took this approach in light of their comments. They could easily have live streamed the event like they do with press conferences. This is a football forum for Saints FC. It’s fully acceptable for me to ask questions.

benjii Posted 9 January, 2020 Share Posted 9 January, 2020 I went. It was amazing. Loads of top Saints fans, the usual suspects from the club and a couple of VERY special guests.

Marsdinho Posted 9 January, 2020 Share Posted 9 January, 2020 I filled in the application form to attend, but they wanted examples of 3 questions I wanted ask.....I knew that if I entered the actual questions I wanted to ask, there would be a high chance I wouldn't get chosen to attend. It then dawned on me that they are going to pick people that ask the less complicated questions. Like that woman who had a chance to grill the board and asked Ralf "If you had £100m, who would you buy" as opposed to "What happened in pre season that meant Ralf didnt have a clue what his preferred formation or starting XI was when the season started" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 9 January, 2020 Share Posted 9 January, 2020 On the one hand you could suspect that they wanted to chose easy questions, on the other perhaps they wanted a broad range of questions so that they could cover a broad range of subjects and were properly prepared. If we ever get to hear what some of the questions were perhaps we will find out which it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
