We can only hope another scandal doesn't emerge in the meantime...

Is it possible to submit a question or questions via PM to anyone ahead of the meeting, or are the questions to be asked by those only in attedance?

I have something I'd like to ask, but obviously my location means I can't attend.

First question should be to test the water.YES OR NO.

Is Sutcliffe on the pay-roll and or does he submit invoices for perceived services to the club.

Completely agree, we don't need the pie, peas and pint and I'm happy to make a £10 donation to Ashgate Hospice bearing in mind the savings the club will make as a result.

What do you mean "if" you are going ? Your one of the most abusive person towards him behind a keyboard surely you would want to see him face to face. A no show from you would make your points you have ever put across even more inane.

Whilst getting criticised for suggesting as much a couple of days back, I've got a feeling the meeting won't happen.

I've been trying to set up a one to one with AC for over 3 weeks for him to address the points on the "what can we they do to win fans over" thread, but he won't give me a date.

So little chance of a group meeting where he's got to persuade the elusive duo to turn up.

If he was in anyway abusive to Turner the meeting would be over in a flash so maybe he would be doing the right thing in staying away

It will take a calm temperaments if Turner behaves like he does in his interviews

I'd hope exchanges are conducted an a civilised manner, with those present refraining from any kind of insults or 'calling out'.

Clearly many Town fans are very interested in discovering what those in focus have to say for themselves - let's not waste time bickering or offer them an opportunity to evade answers!

Ashley Carson made an offer which was accepted at face value.

What's more it's only a week since the CEO stated in the national press that he wanted to be 'transparent' and his door is 'always open'.

If no meeting takes place those words will be rendered worthless and Town fans might, quite legitimately, wonder what there is to hide.

He might be referring to the digs costs...that Sutcliffe was offering free of charge? Obviously, that would have to be measured ref amount of scholars.

However, if correct, that would suggest to me that Sutcliffe id making a pretty penny elsewhere in order to not charge for digs services (which aren't cheap)....what's the incentive to do that?


You make an excellent point; are we really expected to believe that a character with no emotional attachment to the Club and who sees his enterprise go so deeply into debt that he can't pay wages, angry parents or bills waives tens of thousands of pounds worth of possible income? All this whilst claiming he's not taking a salary himself? Why would he do that, what's in it for him?

Once again things just don't seem to add up.
