Meet the owners

[roversdude]

How will they know the questions?

[Arsenal Of The North]

Unfortunately the questions they will already know what they have to answer. It would be better if they didn’t know the questions they were facing, more likely to get a proper answer instead of a straight bat one.

Well that’s not quiet true, last one I went to was an open floor and anyone could ask anything, nothing was off the table, yes they have facts and figures to hand, exactly what you would expect from accomplished business men!

If you’re going tonight and you have a genuine question, if you’re given the opportunity you will be able to ask what ever you like!

[mushRTID]

Can you collect your ticket at the event?

[Glyn_Wigley]

You'd rather them make stuff up on the spot or say they don't know something off the top of their head rather than having the facts to hand? Who in fandom would that help apart from the social media gobshites?

[andy didcott]

They certainly don’t know what questions will be asked, anybody can stand up and ask what they like, I’ve been to em all, quite entertaining sometimes.

[Sammy Chung was King]

A few good questions would be have we got a long term plan in place, to try and get back up the leagues?

Are the board prepared to pay money for players if the right ones come available, breaking the sustainability push, or would they just go for another opportunity?

Are there any plans to clean up the whole stadium as it’s getting a bit tired and dirty?

Do they think our fans deserve to keep being fed dog meat for food, or are they prepared to go a different way from the contracted food?

What is the plan god forbid, when Terry wants to step away from the club, will his family continue with the support of the club or will they step away?

Would there be a way of building a club hotel that could bring in extra revenue?

Do they think the shadow board are fit for purpose ? Only kidding.

Do they have plans to scout the Irish leagues as a few teams seem to be doing this and getting good players on wages we could afford?

[selby]

  There are some good players well within a hundred miles of Doncaster we can afford Sammy, we need to be proactive and get on to them.

Cracking questions, exactly the one's that should be asked.

  Reesie lad I would think it will be recorded on film, and would most likely be broadcast after the event if there was no untoward bad language or behaviour, I think that will be the yardstick those attending will need to follow.
  If nobody spoils the event by being silly and spoiling it for others there is no reason why everyone does not have  a chance to say what they want and ask the questions they want to, and everyone see the response.
  I don't think many clubs would give their supporters the same chance, we want to take advantage of it, and the only way that will happen is if the meeting is treated by those that attend in the right manner.

I'm excited for the moment when they ask their Q1, why someone who works in Comms has been given a job working as Head of Academy Comms, and why wasn't Copps (Head of Football, not Head of Non-Football) included in the decision making.

4 questions in that list I am interested in though. Some others would be a waste of limited timing.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Would agree there's some wasted questions there and I don't understand the relevance of Q1. Seems to be a couple of loaded questions trying to dig some dirt suggesting there's been some impropriety.

They're skirting round the issue that they believe the club is always looking for the cheap option, so why not just say it and quote the examples? One question.

[NickDRFC]

I think Q1 looks like a misunderstanding between Head of Academy and Head of Academy Operations.

Have they? all of them? then I must have missed the answers, along with the OP, so just to reiterate, exactly the questions that should be asked, in my opinion.

[EasyforDennis]

Is there any chance tonights Q&A could be filmed and put on youtube?

[DonnyBazR0ver]

DFP and the club normally do a live blog and then a YouTube video normally follows.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

There you go...

[The Beast]

Just been to the club this afternoon as my junior club are linked to the Foundation as a legacy club. I know a lot question the club Doncaster model but what a marvellous asset it is, a great giver of opportunity to the youth of the Borough. Really opened my eyes and made me proud to be a supporter of the club.

It’s a massive positive for the club, and one we should be really appreciative of.

But unfortunately it doesn’t suit a lot of agendas therefore it’s given a negative slant when it shouldn’t.

The work those guys get through is incredible.

I go every week with fit Rovers , I was on early course and its on 25 now. Unrecognisable from the start and changed 100s of lives for the better.

So, how did it go?

Been fairly beige so far.

[Glyn_Wigley]

Perhaps they should have had a fireworks display?

[Prez]

I could be wrong but I thought Copps was trying to send a subliminal message to the board that we need more investment. He spoke well and was very passionate. The club clearly means a lot to him.

[mushRTID]

Coppinger and Schofield were very impressive. A really good presentation it’s just a shame it ate into the question time as there was nowhere near enough time. Coppinger very passionate.

You look at and listen to those two and have confidence.


Gavin telling us our model works better on L1 which makes a mockery of appointing McSheffrey when we were in trouble.

Gavin also told us Bramall has put in 12.6m which goes against the 20m figure that keeps getting spoken of. Still a generous figure but is it enough?
