When was the last time the club held an official fans forum to allow fans to ask questions to the clubs board and the management team?
Can I make a plea for someone to post a note of anything of general relevance that was disseminated / discussed? We have heard little of late from the Club about the redevelopment project, state of the ground (when is the collapse at the away end gonna be repaired?), financial position, etc. etc.And the Exiles had one with Taggy on Friday.
We published this on 28th March. http://www.exeweb.com/2013/03/28/east-devon-grecians-meeting-with-paul-tisdale/It's a shame there isn't more advance notice of these meetings. I would've been tempted by the EDG one if I'd known about it a few days earlier.
Apparently there ought to be some notes emerging from it, but to answer specifically on some of your points:Can I make a plea for someone to post a note of anything of general relevance that was disseminated / discussed?

Thanks for that Jason.Apparently there ought to be some notes emerging from it, but to answer specifically on some of your points:
Redevelopment: Hold tight. Possibly the key thing I took away from the meeting was the robust defence of our much-maligned chairman in terms of how he is fighting the good fight re: redevelopment. In terms of "why don't we say anything?" Taggy mentioned the Brazil "announcement" and how, despite overwhelming evidence that he could come out and say it was virtually a done deal, he regretted saying it until it actually WAS a done deal as these things can bite you on the backside.
Repairs: Still one or two issues to sort out, but the capacity / safety of the away end isn't affected.
Financial position: When it was boasted that we were one of the top 10 richest clubs in the country, it was wrong. We're the RICHEST club in the country...the only one of the 92 that apparently has no structural debt.
