    I don't expect a lot from it but it is good he is doing it. I suspect he isn't looking forward to it and knows he has to say the right thing or his boss won't be happy.
    I think the nature of football and the emotion that it triggers in its fans, it is just common sense to communicate with them. Isolating yourself and putting up a wall with your customers isn't smart especially if you want an exit strategy. I know people will point to Mike Ashley at Newcastle but it is a lot easier to sell a huge premier league club like Newcastle than a small L1 club in a small northern town with a poor public image.

    Perhaps if Tony Stewart had a light bulb moment, & switched on to what he has forged at the club, & now realise the gloss is eroding under his tenure.
    Tony Stewart has provided the club with capital over the years, be it some capital is a loan.
    He & we saw the glory years of obtaining a number of promotions in the EFL & wins at Wembley.
    We had a manager in Paul Warne, who was a success for the club, but the road ahead after Warne left, was a bumpy one.
    With different managers taking the club down a country lane, full of bends & twists, & now the club has hit the pot holes, which have got deeper, with no sign of repair.
    Time for Tony Stewart to look at the clubs troubles, & where it stems from.
    1 Perhaps start at the top, & sell the club, but no value really.
    If he was going to sell, he should have sold it while Paul Warne was at the club, with the club in the championship.
    2 - Perhaps think, do I need certain people at the club, one being Paul Douglas, who wags the tail for the club.
    3- what is Scott doing in recruitment of players, which has been shocking, with injury prone players we have signed.
    4- Does Tony Stewart release funds to the manager, to bring in players to keep the club in the EFL League 1
    5 - we await the owners response to the problems at the club.

    Start a thread, your questions. Mods keep a tally, remove any duplicates. Then post to the radio. We are all expressing much the same thing but don?t we have questions worth asking? Not just assume they will be vetted.

    I think the overriding question for me is why have so many sickies (phrased correctly, we know which risky players) actively sort. Rob would not have deliberately gone out for such on his own. I guess it was costs, but if they at least came clean on cutting the cloth accordingly, that would be something.

    If we as a group supply the questions and they are not fielded, then we will have some answers none the less.

    What say the mods?

    So we could have ended up with a one legged player, [ Its ok he can hop ] to save money.

    Said in Jest mate.

    Have any season ticket holders received an invite to submit a question for the upcoming Q and A session with PD?

    Not that I'm aware of, it's not even mentioned on the club website. Paul Davies used to be a regular contributor on here but if I remember rightly he packed it in due to the grief he was getting from some of the posters.

    Right now all I want to hear is we've signed a striker or two.
