Two sides to most stories- is that the extent of the "issues" because they seem a bit petty to me.

Somebody is being a tad frugal with the truth methinks.

Awaiting the response from the AFT with interest!

Now--this is where someone needs to act in the best interests of the fans, even if it means eating a little humble pie. The opportunity to liaise with the new supporter liaison chappie is there as are quarterly meetings with Martyn Starnes. Just shake hands and move on. I bet most of us in business have been faced with similar situations, but you have to look at the bigger picture i.e. representing the fans, and put aside everything else.

Exactly! The decision to withdraw dialogue with the club was done without consulting the AFT membership and makes a mockery of the AFT motto "a voice for the fans".
It's disappointing that this is being played out in public when so much good is happening on and off the pitch.

The way forward is to talk to the club again. If not the AFT should be disbanded.

The problem now, will be that it will take 6 weeks for a reply to be drafted!

Posty - as a man "in the know" why does the Club NEED a Supporter Liaison Officer ?

Surely another layer of political propaganda and posturing ?

Keep the Faith :scarf:

You don't half talk some poo sometimes Paul! :lol:

You got to lay off the Tsingtao for a bit, or maybe you've been in China too long!

:lol:

Simply because there will be supporters from all over the place, Devon, Cornwall, SW, England, World...who will not be affiliated to any of the many and varied supporters clubs.

It gives those supporters a direct line to someone at the club for grievance or for any other reason.

Sarcasm doesn't become you Paul.

Also means the supporter liaison man can filter out all the crap we tend to throw in the direction of the club leaving the Board to run the business.

If the letter from Martyn Starnes is correct Bob Foale should do the honourable thing and resign, being an AFT member I am more than disappointed with what is going on, the chairman being an ex school teacher should know the meaning of transparency.

The AFT chairmans response will be interesting.

Keep the Faith :scarf:

Every club has an SLO under guidelines from the EFL.

Under Article 35 of UEFA's Club Licensing and Financial Fair Play Regulations, clubs across Europe are required to appoint a supporter liaison officer (SLO) to ensure a proper and constructive discourse with their fans.

Political posturing and propaganda Paul?
