    People are rightly cynical after the previous few years. Happy to be proved wrong but I think Pozzo will pull out due to an “unavoidable other commitment” and it will be a hand picked farce like last time with WD18, 1881 and FTRE front and centre trying to get a few crumbs for their own ends in return for being ownership sycophants.

    We know how the repellant Pozzo and Duxbury operate - they aren’t changing.

    Exactly you ‘think’ until proved otherwise, nobody can judge.

    Ok what do you want? I fear that if I gave you a fifty pound note as a gift that you’d complain that there was a crease in it. Come on mate, let’s be positive. If you don’t like the result of all this complain then. You could you never know, be surprised.

    Was talking about you ‘think’ he would pull out. I ‘think’ many things none of which happen. You don’t know this. Judge when you’ve seen the results that’s not a unfair request. Your scepticism could be totally just, we just don’t know yet.

    18th October 2022-post Edwards sacking between TheSupporters Trust (one representative) and Duxbury, Walker and O'Brien (commercial director)-this presumably counts as one fans forum type

    I’ve already said the time for Gino to talk has long since come and gone. I don’t want anything from him other than for him to sell up.

    Not everyone has to be desperate to hear what he has to say.

    Eh? Is this a serious post or tongue-in-cheek? The post in question was logical, reasonable and didn’t personally attack anyone or make digs at any fan groups. Genuinely can’t see any justification in this response if it’s serious.

    Edit: Never mind - I’ve subsequently caught up with the rest of the thread. I’m glad you apologised Amersham; although, I would say that it’s always worth judging a post by its own merits, not by who you might think has written it.

    Any meeting of any description with any combination of any number of WFC fans will achieve nothing and change Sweet FA.

    I am rather enjoying this thread, though.

    Perhaps we need a 'mission statement' from the Club? Or perhaps a 'submission statement'? Or a 'mission unaccomplished' statement?

    You'd be pretty stupid to look up at the sun in the sky at 5pm and believe it wasn't going to set that day, unless you lived in the Arctic on those rare days when they have no night. Or is it no day? Or do they have both.

    Anyway I digress. If you think after 12 years our **** of an owner has suddenly started caring about what the fans think, then I've got some amazing Arctic real estate to sell you.

    That's a false equivalence.

    A better comparison would be you vaguely offering to give him something approximating £50 in the future, whilst giving good grounds for him to believe that you neither would, nor could ever pay up, based on 12 years of having never ever paid up £50 before

    There have been some serious goofs and gaffs, jokes and japery on this thread in the past couple of days, and I’ve just enjoyed catching up to the point of guffawing out loud once or twice.

    Sterling work.

    I don't believe it does. The regulations state that clubs must set out the framework of their fan engagements in their customer charters. Ours still states that meetings will be open to all fans, as they haven't bothered to update it for a few years (a pretty good indication of how seriously they take it...)

    An ode to HMS PTL, Watford 2022-23

    HMS PTL
    Didn't go
    Very well

    Backing Edwards
    To the hilt
    Left us with a sense of guilt

    Slaven really seemed to fit
    But looks deceive
    And he was ****

    Who came next?
    Well who cares
    More crap tactics, vacant stares

    Now we're just a bunch of moaners
    Furious at the silent owners
    One thing worse than Pozzo's skive
    You know what: Hive effing Live

    Vecro, aged 56 and three-quarters

    Yeah, I had kind of hoped that on top of the apology, which was welcome, he'd also correct or at least clarify his misunderstanding in the original post. Sort of ironic that the original point was that it was fair enough to mistake someone's identity based on their user name on a forum. Now I'm relying on people reading on the subsequent messages to realise it was all just a misunderstanding.

    Having said that, it's now three pages ago, so it might as well be carved on ancient tablets in the lost city of Atlantis.

    We have journalists for a reason.
    The majority I know are very clever and insightful people.

    They should meet the Pozzos and their gang.

    Otherwise the podcasters will be just as bad at asking questions as many on here have already pointed out; a selection of naivety, oddness and sycophancy to varying degrees.

    Id send 3-5 proper journalists to ask questions over perhaps 2 hours in a panel style format. The podcasters and amateurs can sit at the back being quiet and can get their 30 mins at the end if they need extra bits for their content/validation

    I would send:

    • Andrew French - brilliant journo for the Wobby and never gives us any BS - tell's it straight.
    • Adam Lethandral - not overly keen on him as of late but does have an inside on how things are run.
    • Emma Saunders - life long WFC fan and worked for the club for a fair few years, reporter and already works in the media.

    • A few guys from WD18 (Sam, Jacob)
    • Three from DNSYE (Justin, Greg and Karl)
