I have various cereal based questions along with a couple of anecdotes about a car parking pass (I don't use the car park but I feel for those that do as it must be horrendous the amount of questions they get about it!).

Yesterday in the pub pre-game I think I heard the best question to ask, and it'll cut through all the waffle

"What the F***s going on Ian"?

In all seriousness I have my 2 part question ready
Not sure if I will ask or get an opportunity to ask, we will see

The tone of the evening will be very interesting. I think there are some fans who are expecting Ian/Kris to grovel and make a series of announcements to appease - both unfair and unrealistic in my view. On the other hand, I do think they need to acknowledge some mistakes that have been made and the poor performances of the team this year. I'm sure they'll try and strike a balance between an honest appraisal of the challenges the club and sport face and reasons to be optimistic and hopeful going forward.

One thing is certain, there'll be no excuses for fans not asking the questions that are bugging them.

There's been a lot of anger on this forum this season, and I've been as guilty of that as the rest. But this is an opportunity to resolve some issues. If we don't ask the right questions, we've only ourselves to blame.

Guess that depends on who got the tickets.

I'm not holding my breath. If the fans forum was open to just people on this forum, then we'd be fine imo.

It's some of the others that will hijack it and ask moronic questions. I saw someone on FB saying that Lam had lost the plot because he hadn't picked Clubb or Powell. The fact all the talk around Powell was about HIA and he got injured in an actual match, says it all.

I reckon the first bit will be announcements. 2022 coaching staff, Wane, player signings, Lam being packed economy back to Australia. Then followed by questions.

What I fear is that last nights half decent performance (let’s have it right it was half decent, wasn’t very good just efficient and effective for a change) will temper the questions and boost the mood. There’s still huge issues at this club and the questions we’ve persistently raised on here must be answered.

Re: Fans forum - Tuesday 31 August : Tue Aug 31, 2021 1:39 pm  

Im not confident at all that the forum will be anything more than a box ticking exercise and that no real info will come out

Lam will be announced on a 3 year deal.
Clubb will sign another 1 year deal.
We will lose Bullock, Clarke, Hastings, Gildart, Leuluai and Manfredi but won't sign anyone else due to there being no money due to contract upgrades of KPP, Havard and O'Neill.
Kelvin the Gorilla won't be coming back and the Edwards Pie Man has been lost.
