Whilst its good for the manager to hold these things, i do find it strange the stressing from Buzz that its him organizing the forum.

It would have made sense for the forum to take place after being arranged by a board member, but hey.

After all the criticism given against the chairman for lacking communication, is this just another example that he's lost confidence from more than just a few fans??

This could easily have been a PR plus for the chairman, which clearly it is not now.

Look, its a good thing.

1) someone has actually read the forum and seen what the supporters are thinking
2) they have taken onboard what has been written from some faceless people & those who are recognisable
3) they have acknowledged shortcomings within the current structure
4) they have acknowledged where they can do better

Very positive and should be taken as so. Perhaps there is a person who has the balls to accept the club as a whole should and done better.

How do you know it's made up? As in evidence rather than speculation.

I agree with Cheshire Cat. The idea that this is a police matter is very strange. Many things happen in our lives that we find hugely unpleasant and distasteful without us going to the police about it. In fact people on this very thread have said that the chairman has permanently damaged the reputation of the club and poisoned the relationship between board and fans. If true - and people are entitled to their opinion - that's very serious and affects the lives of fans who live and breathe this club, and undoubtedly feel very hurt. But could you report GR's interview to the police, in the same way you want him or NY to report people who have offended them to the police?

For the record, I think Gr should have been more careful in what he said. There are lots of genuine, longstanding fans here who have taken genuine offence (and some who seem to have manufactured offence), and GR has a responsibility as chairman to be careful about that. But all of that can be true without people needing to throw around wild, baseless claims about lies or concoct fantasies that people should only complain in public about things that are worthy of police attention.

Well, the matter was so serious that our chairman laid into the all supporters with his notes. Since its being used as part of Young's resignation, presumably what happened was in poor taste and would be a form of harassment? Harassment is a criminal offence. This is why the  issue, if it is so serious to merit a person resigning from his job & comments from the chairman, should be reported to the police for further investigation.

Social media is easily traceable..... All it needs is for someone to confirm the issue has been reported......

Sam isn't a right back and is better at centre half. He will develop into a decent player for us.

Today wasn't the best, but he'll learn and become a better player. He seemed to struggle with the pysicality of today's game and needed some encouragement.

 He is comfortable on the ball and does have a good eye for the game.

Deasy will help him become a better defender.

TBH i didnt think Dawber had done much wrong in the last few games. He's not helped by having a naff defense.

He's only going to get better with the more first team experience. He's made some very good saves, but needs to work on his kicking.

Having Deasy back is good, but may be a big negative for Dawber. I hope we continue to use and develop Dawber, as we could get a lot off him financially.

Add him to the other non prolific strikers we have then.

Hopefully the manager sees him as complementary to Reeves, rather than a replacement.

Stats show 41 goals in 259 appearances. Including 2 in 24 for York.

Didnt Joe O'Neill get 5 in 37 for York??

Steve, Graham came over and approached the supporters. The supporters did not spot Graham.

Anyway, I was stunned Graham came over. Not the best decision in the world. What did he expect to get? A pat on the pack and a "well, there's always next year"? A round of applause for presiding over the cock up of Griffith, severe drop in form, inability to replace players & appointment of Tolson?

The fans in the area are frustrated with a relegation that many feel could have been avoided if better key decisions had been made.

One of Graham's points was that a manager was not available (of the 42 expressions of interest) after Sinnott leaving. He also did not want to listen to other supporters who were critical of Tolson's tenure. Nor did I like the Chairman shouting for someone to take over his job. It was a no win action that was, frankly, bizarre. Grahame should be applauded for the amount of work he has done for the club over the years, but needs to learn how to handle those who are severely angered with what has happened this season. A priority needs to be getting other people in to assist at this level. Unfortunately, I work out of the country for 10 months a year.

Lets also clear something else up. There was no abuse aimed at Graham's family, although I agree some of what was said in the heat of the moment was over the top.

Back to the match. It was awful. No ideas, no communication. The sort of thing I would expect from a pre-season friendly. Braintree didnt have to get out of 2nd gear. Rankine was off the pitch as soon as the whistle went. I felt sorry for Ginnelly who showed more passion than the rest of the squad.

The most frustrating element is that the group of players could and should have been good enough to avoid relegation, given the right management.

Anyway, Neil Young looks like a good appointment. Even if he has been out of work since leaving Stockport in January.

An amazing achievement to such a fantastic bloke.  Truly a tremendous triumph.
