See main site has announced that there is a Q&A evening with the management and the Board on 29th March.
-
Who's in charge of the microphone ?
-
Supporters say they want the issues of the running/financing of the club and the performance of the football team to be separate, club announces joint meet the manager/meet the board Q & A.... ::)
-
It’s a poor show. Clearly to take the sting out of any criticism of the board we’ll get the manager who has done a brilliant job along too.
-
Smoke....mirrors....aroma of whitewash laid on thick enough to mask smell of bullsh*t......
-
Well it's a great opportunity for the Board to make a more formal announcement of the latest "f* off" to stayaway fans policy.
Come to think of it, the vast majority of the residents of Altrincham are staying away, so perhaps the policy announcement can be extended to them as well.
-
Pointless exercise
-
Think the board are treating the manager with contempt by inviting him along to this. Another low point for the club, gutless board of directors hide behind manager to avoid criticism
For all of you who have taken great pleasure having a pop at me on another thread for not keeping boardroom and football separate, how stupid do you look now? This is what you end up with, they can't be kept separate and never will be separate because the club don't want them to be
Time for many on here to take their heads out of the sand
-
It's all a bit tedious
The board are damned if they do damned if they don't, by a certain faction of the crowd.
We'll never know for certain whether Phil was asked or volunteered.
All it needs now is for him to tell us he's never known such support from a board and the posters on this thread will be in melt down.
-
Unbelievable. Un f**king believable. That's me done with this forum. There is nothing to complain about here - the club has arranged for the board and management team to have a meeting with the supporters. That is all. I suggest those of you unhappy with this go and take it in turns to hire out the CSH after midnight and continue to start an argument in an empty room.
I will continue to support my team and enjoy doing so.
Bye

How can you have progress with out dialouge .
If nothing was arranged people would complain
I know there were some issues with the mike etc last time lets hope that lesson has been learnt
Great opportunity for Phil to take the plaudits and anyone to challenge the board as they see fit
My other observation is this is a football club . We play football is it so odd to tie the 2 things together ? 🤔

The two should be separate Wayne, that’s the issue.
This has not been arranged at a board meeting, and has been pushed by GR without the approval of some board members. Make of that what you will.
-
Right didnt know that . Im sure those board members will address it accordingly then
Im not close to all the political side

To clarify, the next board meeting is due to be next week sometime (going roughly every 4 weeks off past ones) so it is my assumption that this was not discussed at the last board meeting. If it was, then for one it seems very, very odd that we’re not hearing about it until now, and secondly that it is still so far away.

So what. That’s what happens at board meetings too. Decisions are not always made unanimously.

You’re a f**king moron on this forum Jamie. I don’t look or feel stupid now. I still feel the same. Here you are putting your flag in the sand that you have no intention of doing that because it’s too much fun in your sad little life to come on here and wind people up. I can’t be arsed with it, I’ve got stuff to do much better than pouring over your tired diatribe.
You’re also making your claim now that you won’t be at the meeting and speaking up for yourself to oust the chairman or air your grievances. Much easier to carry on blowing hot air on the internet.
I tell you what you can have the forum to yourself you sad sack.

Oh dear, looks like another admin has been defeated and gone off to do better things with his time. Well done Chris for sticking it out this long.
If I was an potential investor doing my due diligence (even on a mobile phone in a bar) I'd be looking round the social media and then get onto the "fans forum". Hopefully someone could explain the backstory to this and some of it's worst posters to make sure they could see past it and that is is still a worthwhile investment.
Sadly I think attacking your own football club has been become so ingrained in some peoples routines that they have forgotten what the actual point of watching a football club is. If they are honest a new man at the helm would just be fresh meat, wait for the first thing that they don't agree with and off we go again.
Something as simple as having a Q & A with the manager and the board is seen as outrageous on here? Should we do one of the Thursday and one on the Friday so people who are interested in both come away from families twice?
For the record, my opinion remains the same that the club needs serious repairs off the field and my feelings on needing a new leader remain exactly the same.
It will take a long time to rebuild the damage of the last two seasons and it takes a long time to turn spectators into supporters.
Thank God we have a brilliant young manager who doesn't deserve any of this.....and so sad to see that the fans forum is a place where a new fan would probably not bother to get involved in.

Where have I called anyone a f**king moron or a sad sack? Do you think that is language thats becoming of a moderator? Yet you pat this guy on the back for speaking to a fellow supporter like this just because he disagrees with him.
We not allowed to post again unless we agree with you Ecky?

Having no reason not to have one, is not a reason to have one.

Another complete overreaction. A few sad lonely people on this forum. When having a Q&A session about the football club, why wouldn't you have the manager of the mens first team of that football club present?

As I just said in response to your private messages, I'm not patting him on the back. He shouldn't have said that but he has become exasperated with it I would imagine. I'm thanking him for putting up with it this long.
It would be a weird forum if everyone just agreed with me. If someone doesn't agree with me then they can address my points and tell me why they believe I am wrong.
It's how normal forums work.

Because the board said they have no impact on the pitch issues, and likewise by the same token Phil doesn’t affect.
One is working, one isn’t. Therefore I doubt there’s much to ask Phill compared to the board.

The team are doing excellent on the pitch and I suspect there will be lots of people who would love the opportunity to ask the manager about this and the future.
One the other hand, there are many people who feel off the pitch problems stil exist.
I suspect the Q and A was not set up as a "slate the board and expect answer/resolutions there and then" but as a genuine opportunity for fans to speak to the hierarchy.
Has anyone actually thought that Parkinson may be happy with the board since he came in and is happy to show a united front in an open forum with fans?
-
My own view is that any Q&A session with Phil Parkinson is somewhat superfluous at this juncture. Things are manifestly going well on the pitch and I'd prefer for him to be left simply to continue the successful work and then review matters at a similar meeting once promotion has (inevitably) been achieved.
It's now just over a year since that gathering in the CSH at which the Altrincham FC strategic review was unveiled to supporters by the board of directors.
Consequently, I'd much rather see a meeting focused on a progress report outlining which objectives have (or have not) been attained to date and any thoughts on how the club could actually prosper in the National League North once one of our two recent relegations has been rectified.
I'd also like to see an invitation to address the meeting extended to either Dominic McGuinness or Paul Taylor from The Sport Business, so that they could explain exactly how they are promoting the potential investment opportunity at Altrincham FC.
-
I have a very suspicious mind, and there is a a very strong smell of cover up.
There is absolutely no need for a "Meet the Manager" while things on the pitch are going well on the run in to Easter.
A "Meet the Board" is quite another matter. This club is in dire straits off the pitch.
I believe that the Board are trying to use PP as a pawn in their game. They put him on first, deflect any attempts to throw in "dangerous" questions by controlling the microphone (see my post at the head of this thread), and thus foster a happy clappy atmosphere. And once again we learn nothing.
I have total respect for PP, and I believe he's being used as a pawn in the Board's game. It's a disgrace.
I will be there, but I don't expect to go home with the slightest trace of a feeling of satisfaction. OK Board, prove me wrong, but I'm not holding my breath.
-
I for one will be attending the Q and A. I wish to publicly thank Phil and Neil and his management team. I would also like to thank the players for providing such entertainment and football of the highest quality this season. I would also like ask that should we get promoted this season, will the club get back previous ambitions to become a league club. If we get promoted, then I feel with the current management team why should the club not have ambition to greater things.
A lot of you negative posters will probrably rag me off as is the current nature of this website now, but though there is a long way to go at present, we are a club on the up under the current board and team. Yes mistakes have been made in the past, but there is plenty of light in our future. So why not call a meeting to try and capitalise on the situation. Lets try and sort this out and unite the club once again and keep the club and team on the up and up.
Sorry if my message offends any of you, but I get no enjoyment reading this forum, and though some of you are slagging Mark off; I enjoy reading his posts. No way am I staying away from the club, not after 43 seasons. So, board, management and team, carry on as you were and lets support Phil and the lads and show them we are fully behind them and the team. I don't want them reading some of these messages, it would de-motivate them.

Good post and someone from The Sport Business should definitely be there for an update on that.
Each to their own and all that but I think you're looking into it a bit too deeply. You can still ask "dangerous" questions whether PP is there or not, if someone has a question for him they can ask him as well?
In my experience though, dangerous questions rarely get asked at these events other than one or two.
PP knows the score with how some people feel about things of the pitch so I doubt he would be surprised if there was some.

Agree 100% with all this. I think PP and the footballing set up are doing superbly and they have my full support and praise. The off the pitch problems are plentiful and well documented; we need to know how this 5 year plan is shaping up.
And Steve, this isn't about being negative (read mine and other's comments about PP) but you are continuing to conflate the performance and ability of the board with that of the footballing staff. That is where a clear distinction must be made.
-
Hopefully the 5 year plan will include continued improvements on the pitch, the team only needs light tweaking during the close season, but our biggest priority is to make sure Phil and his team continue their great work this season.

To be fair Jack, didn’t the previous manager host a similar fans forum during March last season too?
Perhaps it was considered so successful that it’s pencilled in as an annual event now.

Bizarre lack of explanation about the whole thing leaves us guessing. The first Q could be “why have you arranged this?”

I hope I will be able to attend....
Most obvious questions to Phil would be about what improvements he would feel necessary for next season in the conf N....questions that are a) premature and b) difficult for phil to answer with the current team's motivation in mind to finish the job this season.
So I would probably thank him for making football enjoyable again and congratulating him on an excellent job pointing out Stalybridge celtic as an indicator of how badly a similar sized club to us have fayred....
Then I'd ask loads of difficult questions to the chairman about how he feels the divide is upsetting harmony and what can be done to bring the fans together behind a respected leader etc......I'd also perhaps ask for clarity on the f**k off saga....
As for praising the board Steve from Sale, as far as I am concerned they have made one decent decision about on the pitch matters whilst alienating more and more supporters with others....I support PP and the players and do encourage stayaways that that is possible and an enjoyable this season......but a change of leadership becomes more and more urgent!

I have put it to the board to use a simple, user friendly website to collate questions in advance and on the night, to be displayed on the projector behind them.
Fans can also "like" a question they also wanted to hear an answer to (to allow it to be moved higher up the pecking order).
This allows people who can't get there to ask questions as well the key important questions to get put ahead of other more mundane ones, like Phil Parkinson's favourite crisps.
The website is free, can be set up minutes and doesn't register any logging in. Let's see if the board are willing to answer all questions or just those simple asked by whoever can hold on to the microphone.

Nothing in the slightest, it’s just simple PR. Why would I want to potentially air the club’s dirty laundry on a live broadcast to the general public? If someone feels strongly enough about something then they should be there to ask the board a challenging question, in person.

We've live streamed these before to great success - even at our our lowest point with Matt Doughty.
Not all fans live in close proximity to the ground, can commit to attending the club more than once a week, but may wish to hear Phil or the board.

have asked my questions via that link.....
If I go I may fb live it....
-
Have also added two questions for the board on www.sli.do
Can anyone confirm if they have agreed to accepting questions via this format?

They agreed, but yet to see anything public.

I’m at work tonight but with St Albans joining the huge procession of noddy clubs to race past us in the last decade, lets hope for some positive news on proper investment in to the football club. The list of sh*t clubs with 200 fans out performing us is ridiculous

Great service. Much appreciated.

Overall there were plenty of positives. The Parkinson and Sorvel contracts were a nice touch and set the tone for a positive evening where our board members had the opportunity to speak, plus for the first time we heard from Rob Esteva and Lawrence Looney got to speak out and were very impressive.
Unbelievably poor turn out. It seems people are more than happy to post on the forum but when it comes to a public, free to attend event it’s a no show.

No surprise if it was a low turnout - in my view I do not think it was a good choice of evenings to hold this.
Many people have broke up from work (to coin a phrase) and have family plans for the weekend - not a night to attend an event at a football club for many.

Indeed, I think a combination of this and the fact that others work/live too far away to get there for a Thursday night. There will also be a percentage who stayed away because they feel it was nothing more than a cosmetic exercise, when what they want is a change at the top.
The news of the new contract for Phil & Neil was excellent as was the fact that we could watch proceedings from afar.

I would have attended, but I had training duties with my Alty ladies team. Caught some of it on Facebook. Thanks for that. What was the attendance out of interest?
Pleased Phil and Neil have agreed to stay on.
Think around 35 others were live on Facebook same time as myself which is not bad at all.

I saw up to 60 on the feed at peak
As for in the room it looked about 25 to 30 but hard to tell

Smoke....mirrors....aroma of whitewash laid on thick enough to mask smell of bullsh*t......
I seem to be eating a lot of humble pie recently. I was a little worried at the opening contract signing, a clear attempt to get the audience onside, but as the evening progressed I could see a lot of progress being made.
I have been more or less won over, and will revert to a season ticket next term to help Mike Adams's Curve. I also intend to do a stint on the bar at the Beer Festival, and will contribute to the purchase of pitch covers.
