    That isnt journalism that is his opinion. If he had provided evidence to back up his claims that would have been journalism. What he said is probably correct but it is not journalism.

    Has anyone who applied heard anything about the fans forum? I guess they'll let people know in good time, around 10 minutes before the start time.

    At the moment we have a venue and a date. How it happens, who attends etc. is still to be worked out but final questions are being chosen from all that have been submitted and this will continue over the next few days. I would of thought that one person from each selected fan group would attend and ask questions, however this is not confirmed and just my own speculation. As we get nearer the date I am sure more information will be released and either myself or Tony will keep people updated.

    It was yesterday, and truly great. Surprised so few bothered to turn up given all the fuss. Only downside was they confiscated my flask.

    Yes thought that was rather late notice although probably thinking people knew already?

    I get that not everyone is a member of DNSYE and the people behind it all, but the club have known since the date went out week or so ago. In my view they have had more than enough time to make this statement. It's just perfectly in line with how our club is run right now.

    They'll probably do a whip round at the start to get cash for the training ground leccy meter to cover the meeting.

    Never followed me to start with. It's a very exclusive club who follow my knee jerk rants.

    Clearly some people want their '15 minutes of fame', and want to break exclusive news themselves. Just a ploy to increase their own viewer/listener/reader numbers.

    Yep just reeks of social media bods acting in their own interests despite their rhetoric. Shame.

    I told you! I told you! I told you!

    It’s exactly the same as the last fan forum. “Random” ballot, wink wink, nudge nudge, know what I mean, know what I mean.

    Nothing but self promoting social media fan accounts. Audio file released, yes of course, after some very clever and heavy editing. Only those exclusive enough to go to the actual event will truly know what was said. I would really love it if someone on here that isn’t afraid of the club went and would publish everything. Unfortunately no-one on here who has the balls to do that will be invited.

    I said it will divide the fanbase even more, and shocker it has.

    That is a shame .

    Regular readers of the WO would want to know what was said.

    Not all are on Twitter etc or listen to podcasts.

    It's just people looking out for their own interests. Andrew French knows a live blog would be the most visited thing he does all year if he goes, and the podcasts know it'll be their most listened to podcast if he doesn't.

    Can understand why French is doing it but to conflate it with the last season's is a bit off. That was an entirely closed cast list, sworn to secrecy and not advertised, with rather pathetic minutes issued weeks afterwards.

    This one, they've asked for questions in advance, will release the whole recording on audio within 24 hours and have an open ballot to attend. Some will be lucky on the night, some won't (looks like chances of getting a place are about 6 to 1). But everyone will be able to listen, rewind and discuss what's said afterwards.

    I'm assuming this is tongue in cheek but if not, do you have a source for the ballot being rigged?

    Is a bit weird tbf, why not let them attend on the understand that the traditional journos dont take part in the Q&A ?

    Suspect there will be some 'before and after the tape recorder' comments from Duxbury as usual which dont make it to the audio file...

    Do you think the club or the podcasters know all our true identities then? How exactly would they stop people going?

    I agree, can't see what harm it would do (other than fewer listeners to the podcasts) and if it was up to me, would've let them. But the manufactured/misplaced outrage is quite funny to watch.

    Massive build up to an event which will now allow about 70 people, most of them podders and their mates to ask some questions from their patrons at the club. Utter fail.

    As an online community, nobody from WFC Forums will be present in any official sense of the word. As one of the possible "fan groups" selected it was seen in the best interest of the forum and to of course keep all forum member's identities private, that we would not be taking part as a collective group. DNSYE are fully aware of this and I have spoken to Peter who is okay with our decision. I only bring this up now as the subject is being discussed about our personal stake as a forum community. If any individual does attend, they are not representing any other person but themselves and in that capacity only.

    What an own goal from the podders. A chance for all Watford fans to read a live reporting feed of the Q&A from French. But nope. The need for these individuals to be front and centre and have special access is more important.

    I agree Jumbo, but unfortunately I’m not at all surprised.

    Social media/podcast people pushing their own agenda hoping for ego strokes and pats on the back.
