    I expect to be in the minority but I think it is a good statement, yes he could have said a few extra things, he talks of processes changing but not people however I assume that is for legal reasons. The fact we do a deep dive on the player availability now when common sense says that should have been done two years ago when it started to get worse amazes me but doesn't surprise me as there are too many people in comfortable positions at the club. Overall a good statement but it has to be followed up with more communication and action.

    The bloke can`t win can he ?
    I for one appreciate him saying what` he`s said,not sure what people would expect him say...."That Hamshaw was w*nk,Scott is a right w*nker,Douglass is stealing a wage,and I haven`t clue what I`m doing".
    Lets see what the close season brings.

    We get communication Supporters I don’t believe it.

    Don’t know why he bothered. He can’t win.
    Supporters would like a communication that tells them something.
    Why did TS leave it until the ship had sunk before he said anything?
    That statement was probably written for him and contained a lot of words but what have we actually learned?
    What is the strategy for the club going forward?
    You say supporters don't believe it. Believe what exactly?

    That there will be a full review. I took it that he needed to address us he?s done that. Hopefully there will be further statements. I?m not saying everyone should be applauding him just we wanted it we?ve got it and it?s not good enough. He can?t win.

    He can't win BOTN because he's hidden away for most of the season and let things go from bad to worse. That's not leadership and people are entitled to be upset....and cynical as well.
    The next communication will almost certainly be asking people to get behind the club when season tickets are due for renewal.
    I'll be renewing mine, it's a bad habit I've developed, but I know quite a few who've had enough and won't be making that commitment.

    Agreed. I?ve just got in from work and seen the chairman?s message. Then I came here knowing exactly what the reaction from some might be.

    Not really interested in what the owner has to say other than season tickets are being reduced and he?s putting the club up for sale, he?s done a chuck norris missing in action and the club is going in only one direction with the current owners in charge .

    We've got one idiot thinking he's owed a rebate on his season ticket. Maybe the main sponsor is due one as well? The saving grace for our old Tony is he (his son) owns the ground. Seems to have let everything else get out of control.
    What I said was put the season ticket prices back a season, quite obviously. Not a rebate of what we paid this year, so idiot yourself.

    Many people think lowering prices for D2 is more than fair. Stewart admits we have been short changed this season.

    The current Board are not capable of running the club and have allowed it to go down the leagues back to the bottom level.We don't trust them to correct the mistakes they have made,It needs new fresh ideas and AMBITION injected in to the club.

    TS says "a full post-mortem of the season will be required". Very true, but who will be appointed as the independent coroner?
    I am not confident that an in-house investigation will end up with any significant reforms.
