Let’s hope there is a good turn out on the night.

Let’s hope there is a good turn out on the night. Or maybe let's hope all parties leave the evening feeling more confident and comfortable about the upcoming season.

Unfortunately I have another commitment this evening and can't make it. Look forward to reading and hearing reports of what was said.

Need a bit of reassurance then Andy? Not especially, but there are plenty of others that do (which you've seen on here and on Facebook). Plus it would be nice for the management team to get a little more positive reinforcement from the supporters as a whole. There's been a lot of ill-informed comments flying about since the current management team have taken over and this is a great opportunity to strengthen the bond between the fans and the management, especially as the communication between the two hasn't been what many newer fans have been used to. So no, my reassurance will come after the season starts and we know who the squad will be and we get points on the board. It's still far too early to know in any shape or form if we even need that reassurance.

Thanks for clarifying; thought you was getting a bit worried for some reason.

What a great evening. Very informative and I liked what Matt had to say. Very excited about the new season

Yes, I for 1 couldn't make it and would be interested in knowing what has got the juices flowing. Sounds good

Good or bad timing for the next one? What's the betting it gets cancelled for one reason or another? I for one won't be going because I don't think that anything will come out of it.

The timing couldnt be worse and I can't see the value in it this week. Matt needs to be able to concentrate on the next two vital league games which may well determine his future, And I very much doubt any of the people on here calling for his head will have the guts to address him directly. What will it achieve? Delay for a few weeks is the right thing to do.

He can't win really. Going through with it after going out of the cup in that fashion is going to be tough on him, but cancellation (for whatever stated reason) will be interpreted as cowardice and won't win over anyone, even if there is a genuine reason.
I think baboon is right. I've spotted many a keyboard warrior (not specifically on here) who come across with bravado but won't have the capacity to ask those questions in a constructive way. Or those who would rather reply to a Sutton United tweet with "pathetic". Again not constructive.
I know we're angry and upset after last night and I think both the board and management are probably looking forward to Thursday in the same way as a perpetrator looks forward to a public execution but I really hope the audience as a whole can just take a breath and listen. I expect theres more than just "Matt is rubbish" or "we've been unlucky" to explain our current predicament.

I expect theres more than just "Matt is rubbish" or "we've been unlucky" to explain our current predicament. I don't see how anything positive comes from tomorrow night, really. A lot of people have made up their minds already, so they'll be going into it with a negative perspective and any questions (or, most likely, long rambling statements) will be with that bias in mind. I don't think I'm going to bother with it, just another evening to get annoyed about things and I could do without that! The truth of why we are where we are lies somewhere between the poles of incompetence and bad luck - to what degree will depend on everybody's own barometer. Ultimately, we haven't just been getting bad results this season since Gray took over, we've only got 35 points from 36 league games this calendar year. 8 wins in that period, so the "rot" (if you want to call it that) started a while back under previous management. That's not a defence of where we are, per se, but it provides a bit of context that perhaps it's not *just* the manager that's the/a problem right now.
