    Let's just consider as well a wider question. Tony Stewart made the decision to take over RUFC. He made the decision to leave Millmoor. He made the decision to build NYS. He chose the name. He hires and fires managers and staff. He owns the club and his property company takes the rent. He decides the budget and a whole host of other things.
    For my part I pay to watch the team play.
    Where in this relationship does it say that in addition to accepting TS's rule in all these areas I have to be f*cking grateful as well!!!!??? Well, I'm NOT grateful. Just as I wouldn't be grateful if some faceless venture capitalists owned the club. Gratitude is not part of the deal. He wanted the club (for reasons I suspect but don't know) and he's got the club and all I want is for him to finance an attractive and reasonably successful team. If he starts to slip in that regard he is no use to me. Gratitude does not come into it one jot.

    We as fans have a lot to be grateful for to our chairman. But for me me if you take the praise you also have to take criticism. He's made mistakes one was not strengthening the team in the Jan transfer window but where would we be without him. Most fans I think know we are a league one team that sometimes punchers above its weight. As for our manager he's still learning his trade and he's made mistakes hopefully he will learn from them. He knows himself the limitations of his team.

    Yes gmgm makes an obvious comparison to what happened before with the Coffee man, Solicitor from London and his pals with Millers05
    They got rid of Ronnie, appointed Hartford and nine months later the Money ran out and they walked away leaving us go to oblivion.

    Doesn't mean it wasn't the right idea. Wrong people.

    One simple question "What are your real ambitions for the club?"
    The reason for asking is that we have twice reached the Championship and failed dismally to consolidate on each occasion.

    Clearly some on here don’t understand the thread Brin but no surprise really is there.

    Obviously we’d ask how he is (isn’t that the norm?)
    Can we try and be honest in answering the questions (obviously some he can’t or doesn’t want to for whatever reason)
    think we’d ask the obvious question like some have already posted, what’s your ambition (which we probably know) do we really have the money but we don’t want to fall in the trap that other clubs seem to.
    Why did you sack certain managers/why did they leave (I don’t think a certain one would get answered)
    Why did you give Warney the job.
    Whats happening with the away end exit
    What’s happening with guest and chrimes
    Why can’t we have a better catering system in the concourse
    When will Wharton statue get put up
    Why aren’t you looking after the stadium (leaking roof, mucky seats at start of season, badge pitchside needs re-painting etc
    Why don’t we have a fans player award
    Why do we talk to other media about our club instead of putting it on our main web for all the fans to see instead of searching other social media sites.

    I’m sure there’s plenty more that will be asked as we go along but believe me it won’t stop all the moaning if you answer these question

    Btw when is the next fans forum? Personally I think there should be one before the start of season then another one maybe end of January.
    Obviously them that do the most moaning won’t turn up and ask their question/s they just carry on moaning

    Biggest understatement in the sixty years I’ve watched the Millers.

    I would like to ask him what regrets he has since he / Ron Hull /Brian Beckett and the other chap saved the club.
    I’m sure he has plenty.
    Not being able to build an Hotel on Guest & Chrimes will be one.

    Just be careful what you wish for...
    The grass isn’t greener on the other side.

    Don't get me wrong guys, I've always said, and will continue to do so, that whilst ever RUFC and RU Estates Ltd are both wholly owned (bar minor shareholdings) by Tony and Richard Stewart then we have nothing to worry about. I suspect/hope they both view it as one entity.

    The fun and games COULD arrive if ever one of the companies is sold separate to the other leading to a situation where separate, unconnected, owners are in charge.

    Surely a genuine concern that warrants the one question to TS in Brins' mythical meeting?
