Any update on the FF from those who "meet regularly" with the Club?

My one big gripe about our present owner is the terrible PR and commercial organisation. Is it too much to ask for at least a date at least a month in advance for the fan's forum? A little news about new kit even if it is as simple as saying that it won't be Nike rather than hearing through a fan website.
Even the local newspaper is making up articles with the lack of info from the club.

I personally haven't got any update as Mark had been discussing this directly with Lenagan. I do know that Mark is currently abroad and prior to that Lenagan had been abroad too.

If IL is on the FL board still, they are in Faro later in the week at their AGM

What would a fans' forum entail this summer? What sort of questions would be asked?

Post by bazzer9461 on Jun 3, 2014 19:53:33 GMT
"What went wrong last season" That should be one of the questions.

My question for Mark to ask at the next fans forum would be “Ian, why do you go abroad to places that have no mobile, txt, or internet communication channels at the busiest time of year in terms of off the field issues?”

Anybody who goes to the FF can ask a question it doesn't have to be Sennet.

How about people stating what questions they think should be asked?

For me it would be the usual questions.
Target for this season What's our budget like, also compared to last season Does he feel that LW will have a negative effect on our performances

I'd rather;
Do you regret taking so long to appoint GW.
Do you feel by going to Australia for 3 weeks during that period had a major impact on our end of season failings.

Could you believe that experienced coaches and players managed to completely throw away the season, even after waddock was appointed?
I'd have thought the first team should have run itself even if the chairman is on holiday for a fortnight.

If there is going to be a fans forum this month or at the beginning of next better we ask the questions at least we will hear them being asked and the replies in person.

Have we got an objective to meet Championship or at least League One status? When would that be?

Surely the vast majority of club chair people would say the target is promotion. The key question is what are you doing to achieve that aim. I would like to know; - what the intentions are regarding coaching, I would like to hear that Chris Allen is going to be involved. - what developments we can expect to see in the youth policy, I want to see better scouting within Oxfordshire which encourages families to send children to Oxford United rather than Southampton, Reading, Chelsea and other Clubs. - the expected size and make up of the first team squad for the coming season. - what IL and his management team learnt from this season. I am particularly concerned about media and commercial aspects which were dire and I hope IL recognises.
There is no point whatsoever in asking him to give any financial figures because it's pointless. IL has made clear he wants Oxford to become a non loss making club which is difficult with the present stadium situation and until the day comes when the mortgage payments minus additional income from owning the ground are less than the present rent a pointless debate.

How is the plan progressing to eliminate the losses going, and how does this plan agree with the plans to move the club up through the leagues?
What lessons have been learnt from lasts seasons collapse and failure, and what actions are being put in place to ensure next season will be a lot better?
How does he view the clubs current relationship with its fans, and does he believe that are any actions that would improve this relationship, for example improvements in communication?
And one for Waddock if he is there:
The end of last season was extremely poor, given the number of changes you can make to the squad how are you going to ensure that the fans see a vast improvement next season?

like just about everything OUFC Admin throw out to the majority of supporters....they talk the talk, but dont walk the walk ...talk is cheap! its one thing SAYING we'll have a Fans Forum.... its a completely different scenario getting an actual DATE for it
.... to be epected though....apparently theres a 5 year plan to attain championship level, ....whats NOT been said is which 5 years that plan applies to!
...So, WHEN IS THE FANS FORUM THEN?

Sarge,
Whilst there is a long standing 5 year plan to attain championship level (chuckle, chuckle) there is now a 6 year plan before we reach fan's forum level. You are just a mere life long supporter, why should you know what is happening at your club? Just pay up and be quiet.

It is now mid June. We were told that a forum would happen June/Early July. If that is the case surely the club realise that fans would like some advance notice.
I would like to see Oxvox being more proactive with regards this issue. Mark is not the only member of the Oxvox committee and an email asking for clarification is all that is needed. If the club do not respond then that is what you feed back to us.
I don't know what communications between club and fans is like for Wigan but it must be better than what we get and surely IL recognises this and realises that this is a serious issue for many of us.
