Should I?

[Reg Smeeton]

Gaz, can I ask you a question?

Do you want the current board in or out?

I want to win promotion back to League One.

Did that nice man tell you it wouldn't happen if those nasty fans got their way?

soapy tit wank nah I don't care who is in charge, current board, power, rikki hunt, brady whoever as long as we get promotion and sort out the CVA.

 I don't really want to start an argument, but surely even you can work out Gazza that the only reason for a decent season this year was because of Power and Devlin....even if we did go up the present Board would soon get us back down.

[pauld]

I think you're probably about the only person in Swindon who wouldn't care if Rikki Hunt came back!

[lebowski]

...which probably tells us everything we need to know?!

For a self-professed informed individual, thats one hell of a naive statement.

[reeves4england]

Well I don't see the CVA being sorted too well with this current board!!! Promotion yes...what happens after that is anybody's guess

[Simon Pieman]

Even if the CVA is 'sorted' etc etc, what will happen after that. People will protest a year too late if we're battling relegation in league 1 next season or struggling to win promotion in league 2 (again).

What rubbish have they been filling your head with then? Its easy saying sort out the CVA etc. but the question is HOW! How do you propose the current board will do this for us, how do you propose the current board will stabilise this club.  How do you suppose they can regain confidence from the fans?

The answer is clearly not that simple.  Think long term and you will see the current board cannot possibly benefit this football club in any way.

[sonic youth]

You're so full of shit Gary.

Wise up.

The board, however nice they've been to you, aren't going to give you a seat on the board or make you a fans' representative.

You're so fucking naive that it's actually quite terrifying.

[Frigby Daser]

Having never met Gary, i don't want to comment as if I know the bloke, so on a purely objective level, if the board were looking for a fans rep, after stating that they don't like the idea of it (see Seton Wills' outburst a while back) then it'd be for show, to placate those that have called for it now....without having any of the practical uses that we want outof it.

They would go for somebody impressionable and naive enough to accept what they say to them as gospel and perhaps have the means, by way of a networked website perhaps, to promote their views. They might also go for someone who loved the fact they were the 'chosen fan' so much and felt that fantastically important, that they'd be blind to the diabolical reality of it all.

Now, I don't for one second suppose our board could possibly be systematic and indeed wise enough to appoint someone who wouldn't have the nouse to ask them probing questions in a fans rep position - so it's obviously not the case, and this is obviosuly, in no way applicable to whatshisface.

i.e. Gary Stanley.

damn, i think i blew my chance when i took over this place

I don't re-call saying I wanted a seat on the board and besides if the Trust have been campaigning for a seat on the board for years why would I think they would give me one after they know I was on the Trust board?

Spot on, but the best bit for me is that the Board haven't a clue how to stop him damaging their position even more as he blunders on in his naive attempts to rewrite history and promise us jam tomorrow. They really have underestimated the intelligence of the fans - he was sussed as soon as he started.

Is there no end to their ineptitude?

[STFC_Gazza]

People may say I am naive or whatever but being quite honest, seeing the abuse the current board get I wouldn't want a "fans" position on the board anyway, It would take a lot of convincing, just need to look at the facts. If it all went tits up people would blame "that fan" for not noticing it etc or making people aware of it, would I really want that on my shoulders? No.

I am happy to make suggestions and give my opinion etc and have told the club how I and other fans would be opposed to a move to Chippenham and a rise in ticket prices next season even if we are promoted. It's best to keep these big crowds going, especially young fans who are the future, get them hooked before they start wactching Chelsea, Man Utd etc.

People don't see this as ofcourse it does not get posted on here. Anyone can write to the club explaining how they feel. I have always had a response and would imagine you would too.

If people do have serious complaints etc I would write or call the club.

[Luci]

And fans can expect an honest response with no lies whatsoever?

Gaz, people have lost faith because of all the bulls**t the club have told us in the past.  Once they have got themselves into that situation they will struggle to regain support from the fans.

Look what happened to Mex around Xmas time when him and his family were treated so badly by the club..........classic example of the club not dealing with an issue properly.  They are paying a price for their incompetence.............only brought on by themselves.
