I remember it well. It was part of the reason you and I started to become disillusioned with the purpose of the Fans Panel.

Yes, one of a number of reasons not to take the process seriously.

It was no real surprise when the more 'open' forum gave way to the Club significantly reducing the number of supporter representatives who they were prepared to have dialogue with.

The current arrangements also require the fans within the group to sign up to certain Ts&Cs. This was when Wanderer and I left.

Barry Brown did an excellent job as SLO. He really tried hard to help bridge the gap between club and fans. I miss him posting on here. His successor, Carol Green, didn't have the best of health and missed a considerable number of the meetings. I've not seen Carol at the matches this season. I hope she's okay. As far as I'm aware there is no SLO now.

A vibrant link between club and fans is important. The ability for fans to pose questions and get answers matters. If I was in charge, building proper links with fans would be top of my list of priorities. Difficult questions shouldn't be considered as an inconvenience, they should be seen as an opportunity to bring everyone together.

Does Barry post on Facebook at all?

Those scripted interviews inside Carl's office used to make me cringe, the questions that were asked was that rehearsed he used to start answering them before the question had finished! Club doncaster have built up a cult following that are sent out to shoot down anyone who dare question the regime.
