Well said sir.
It's bad enough being insulted for 3 straight years for having a different opinion but when it's brought up on this site, it's even worse.
Football only, only Barnet.

Re: Chairman's Q&A
I remember Ray Clemence and David Bulcher walking around the ground to chat to us during half time once. Great PRjohn dockers shorts wrote:I've highlighted how disconnected we are as a fan base, putting aside performance on the pitch which often determines our mood in the short term. More about the continuous own goals the club scores which just chips away at that 'feel good factor' we crave.
Its for TK to acknowledge this and be aware.
I've suggested that he makes himself more visible in the stadium on match day be it in the bar or stands etc
Build bridges is the message!
Re: Chairman's Q&A
Interesting you mention Ray Clemence in this context, I remember him once saying to me that he thought that the players were too close to the fans and should keep their distance a bit more. It was all about making us a more "professional" club.

The story told on BBC website's preview of Maidstone's next cup game is that Still stood down as Barnet boss last December to spend more time with his wife, Barbara, who was seriously ill.hoofer2 wrote:John Still retired tooletchbee94 wrote:He said he has retired, though he is still England C manager?MCB wrote:Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time the club has publicly confirmed that Paul Fairclough is no longer with Barnet FC21. Have you now decided that there is no need for a Director of Football at Barnet?
AAK. We have drifted quite a bit since Paul Fairclough retired
Best wishes to her of course, but could it really be that Still's departure was not for footballing reasons?
Re: Chairman's Q&A
I can completely understand his leaving Barnet to spend more time with his seriously ill wife. What I don't understand is why he then joined Maidstone. He was 68 years old at the time, why did he not simply retire?

Also is Maidstone closer to wear he lives so not as far to travel away?
I also guess does his role at Maidstone mean he gets to spend more time at home?

Re: Chairman's Q&A
Are we actually going to any answers to the remaining questions?
Re: Chairman's Q&A
The club confirmed on twitter they are coming, and that all questions will be answered. Didn't say when though.edgeog wrote:Are we actually going to any answers to the remaining questions?

What a very odd comment Hive, you usually make great sense.

Oh dear.............)
Re: Chairman's Q&A
Oh god, unless someone has asked the Chairman about Brexit, it's a good point to remind people there is a long running, entertaining thread on Brexit already here: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=14761

Re: Chairman's Q&A
My point is that we have all done it to death by now so unless you are unbelievably thin skinned you should be able to rise above the insults that don't apply to you.

With regard to Labour's assertions that the Tories will put the NHS on the table in Trade negotiations with Trump if given the chance Dominic Raab unwittingly confirmed that they were true today in a very helpful interview, he was supported by Liam Fox who seperately confirmed that the documents the Telegraph were citing as of Russian origin were actually what Corbyn claimed they were.
If you want lies to look at you can find bucket loads here in a record compiled by a right wing journalist, which makes it even more staggering in terms of the sheer scale annd frequency of the mendacity on display: http://www.boris-johnson-lies.com
