I've spoken to Ian Lenagan this morning. The OxVox meeting will now likely be this month as he plans to hold a fans forum between mid June to early July. He was more than happy for this to be made public. well done :-) ..... I still think the earlier the better for a fans forum, given IL's prefered timescale, how about June 18th to coincide with the 2014/15 fixtures being announced?

If oufc want mine and my sons season ticket money they will hold a FF before the start of the new season. Looks like they've called your bluff.

Living such a long way away from Oxford, I've never been to a fans' forum. But I might go to this one, so long as it's not when we're abroad on holiday. I'd like to form my own view about the way things are likely to go, rather than getting the information second hand.

I think a forum in June/july is right as fans will be in a better position to see what kind of squad Gary Waddock is trying to build. It also will be a good follow up to the answers OxVox members are given in our upcomming meeting with Ian.

Can be interesting, Certainy when Duggie of radox fame starts to argue with the chairman over the scum chairman walking away and leaving them debt free even though he spent 13 million quid at Scum under PDC.

So you want IL to come out and give his vision for the future, we all know they never go well ie. Championship in 5 years, Kassam's journey.
The trouble is whatever gets said will just be used to beat him with if it doesn't materialise, having said that I think it's also a good opportunity for IL to win some people over

Poster asked a perfectly reasonable question given the current circumstances and you reply as though you've managed to get one up on him? All fans views should be taken seriously.

What on earth are you wittering on about? You've quoted my 'bluff' line in response to Junior's statement. Junior didn't ask a question. He said, quite clearly, hold a fans forum or you won't get my season ticket money. It's very clear. Unfortunately for some of our fans, IL has announced that he will hold a Fans Forum and they can air their grievances in a public domain as opposed to setting up silly forums and hiding because they haven't got the brass nuts to attack him either using their own name or have a discussion with him or his family face to face. By the way, Yes all fans views should be taken seriously and you can come along and ask your questions. Something which again was quite clear in my post on the previous page.

So what do you think about the OxVox successes over the Right To Bid and Under 11s admission prices? Pretty good work by Mark and the team, eh? Working for the fans and, in the last case, challenging management to do so. Surely nobody could be negative about that, unless they had some sort of personal agenda going on? I forget, which group of "Oxford fans" was it who, through the knowledge they'd acquired during their long stays on the planet and their in depth experience of the business world, were sure Firoka would win their appeal, resulting in massive legal costs for OxVox? Not heard from any of them lately.

Oxvox should be pushing for a fans forum sooner rather than later ie within the next 2-4wks fans need to hear answers from the club before making a financial commitment for another season! With the news that James Constable has left and gone to a club that is paying more than us in a league lower yet it was a better option for him than staying at Oxford I struggle to see nothing more than a season of yet more what might have been!

In total agreement, Will IL have the bollox too hold one?

I'd hope in the short term, IL is busy bringing players to our football club.
He has said late June/early July. I think that's reasonable

I think that's reasonable fixtures are out june 8th ....imo that would be a good date? .... Im not renewing my ST until I see what quality of (replacement) players IL gets in....glad you enlightened us just WHO it is (re)building the squad above too ....seems its nowt much to do with the yes man Head Coach then?..... perhaps as was the (derisory) offer put to James Constable? And , if it was KNOWN that Clarke needed (another) op, once playoffs were unreachable, why not bring in Max Crocombe & give Clarke his op before the end of the season, then he should have recovered if not for the full pre season at least some of it, or at worst the START of the new season? .....instead according to OM etc, Clarke wont be ready till sept/october!!!! ( & hes on a half decent contract GIVEN by IL, so why not ensure what your spending money out on is ready to PLAY competitive football, at the start of the season) mystery percentange splits would be good to know too..... after all those who could afford to shell out to go to the awards night got (half/ part/some of) the story.....about time it was knowledge to ALL OUFC supporters ......Ive heard for the next campaign LW have the same deal off OGB on the bar percentage split as OUFC...... be better to hear what the real mysterious split is from OUFC chairman first wouldnt it?

A modest understanding of PR or brand would suggest the sooner the better. Strongly.
I'm sure IL's busy but ffs, a stitch in time saves nine.

I would imagine more chairs are needed for this FF. I won't be buying an ST, until I hear what IL has to say. Never been to one before due to location, but I shall be making the trip this time. Currently feeling disillusioned and would like to know the answers to a lot of questions.
As always, I am behind IL, but answers need to be given and soon. I haven't known this forum to be as down and disillusioned ever, and that is saying something.
