    However, I tend to lean more towards Aloreburn, - we need to give the guys a break.

    I'd far rather that they got things right on the pitch than appear here, there and everywhere on the whim of Tom, Dick and Harry.

    Saturday was the first time in what seems like ages that there was a feel good factor at Palmerston and that's what we as fans should be asking of the BOD

    There’s been enough negativity around the club this season without a meaningless thread like this Donny

    y would the board not attent as has been said they normally attent and make a small speach

    im not saying they should stay all night but surely at least 1 of them should attend and show the fans they do appreciate us cause they do nothing other than the odd silly statement on the official site to actually show appreciation

    Donny,

    I haven't had an opportunity to read the Standard today, but the front page does not look good, - and that may have been praying deeply on the minds of the BOD.

    I think you have reflected on what has been aired on this thread and you make what I think is a very pertinent point: "im not saying they should stay all night but surely at least 1 of them should attend and show the fans they do appreciate us"

    In essence, you are accepting that the BOD have lives outside football, and no doubt wives completely fed up to the back teeth and complaining of them attending matches, meetings etc, (as well as their own full time jobs) and so even a brief appearance from one of the BOD to acknowledge the tremendous efforts of the fans would be appreciated.

    It is definitely a two way street and we must be mindful that at the end of the day, we are all doing our level best for the club, so any nagging doubts should be couched in terms which don't directly offend. Rightly, or wrongly I did find your initial post was quite offensive, - but fair play to you, you have modified your approach and you have suggested a fairly reasonable compromise.

    Now the Standard.................as Burns would say "An forward though I canny see, I guess and fear"

    Never ever believe everything you hear in the pub or on the terracing. Let them get on with it , the club doesn’t need anymore negativity surrounding it

    Let's get this clear you expect the whole Board to turn give a speech then disappear. Due to circumstances I have not attended end of season dances for some time but I'm pretty sure no one from the Board turned up at the last one I attended. I'm also certain Willie Harkness never turned up at such events for obvious reasons.

    Surely the Manager and a few players is quite adequate at such events.

    one things for sure ,the board at some point need to address the situation of our dwindling ageing support ,with a public interview wheather it be on tv or radio or whatever ,the walk away fans need to hear some sort of rallying cry right from the top people at the club ,this trend of going backwards needs to be addressed asap to get the fans motivated to turn out at palmy .
