I am pleased to see the statement posted by Billy on the club webpage yesterday. At last a few long standing issues are going to be addressed some great and sensible advice to fans regarding bad language. Generally a move in the right direction. Long may it continue.
Hi George, I think the fact that the webpage has been lacking information of late is not good, so any info. is always a good thing, I personally like to know what players have left the club as well as those who have joined, regular updates on club issues, important and not so important, also a good thing, keeping all supporters up to date, not just on social media, as not everyone is on it. Bad language, it`s not always good around the youngsters. The forming of this new committee. Anything that brings information to "all" supporters can only be a good thing, I think of late the webpage did lose it`s way a little, if what Billy says is true (and I have no reason to doubt him) then all will benifit from the changes. Just my opinion.
The new committee...same as the old committee IMO.
Neo does a good job game day and does ask relevant questions hes well worth a watch

The swearing is never going to stop at football matches, but the occasional chant goes too far I wasnt happy with this recently and verbalised that at the time in the stand, our support CONSIDERING ALL THATS GONE ON BEHIND CLOSED DOORS has been superb imo and thats not just the singers im referring to. Theres been great energy and enthusiam shown despite the lack of communication/poor communication from the club 100% focus on backing our side. While we are on about fans, i mentioned it on the podcast but for those dont listen/watch...booing your own side at home which we heard about through the coaching staff and a few in that stand...not great, heard it came from the main stand
Would appreciate your thoughts/comments

Ah yes. In all this, we're not addressing the AWFUL booing from the main stand. The team is 6th on the league in our first season playing some of the best football the league has to offer.
Think what you like about the owners but showing negativity towards what the coaching staff and players are serving up is ridiculous.
I regularly use the main stand and have never heard booing, but that could be the opposite end I sit, booing is a pathetic way of showing "your" team you are not happy, I really do not get it. If these guys were on 100 grand a week thats different, but they are not on anything like that money. It's because they enjoy what they're doing and do not deserve that. As you said George, 6th place in their first year, amazing.
