No reply yet but, in fairness, we did ask the Board to take their time so that they would give us a considered and detailed reply. We don't want simple one-line answers to what are regarded as key strategic questions.
Rest assured that the Fans' Forum will publicise the response as soon as it is available. It may require a couple of different occasions to provide a full response. For example, we are currently trying to agree a date in the next couple of weeks for the next formal meeting of the Fans' Forum with the Club and, because we have specifically asked that this includes Richard Murray and/or Derek Chappell, the date largely depends on their availability. We would also anticipate a written reply to our letter, so a combination of these (and other) events should offer good opportunities for the Club to provide a valuable response.

You'll be able to read it in the programme for the rearranged Cardiff fixture, last week in April.

Not sure where the rumour about the response being in the Cardiff programme came from. That is news to me - and I would hope to have been aware of that if it was true.
As I said earlier in this thread it may require a couple of different occasions for the Club to provide a full response. For example, we are currently trying to agree a date in the next couple of weeks for the next formal meeting of the Fans' Forum with the Club and, because we have specifically asked that this includes Richard Murray and/or Derek Chappell, the date largely depends on their availability. At the moment, we think that the w/b 23rd Feb is possible (probably on the Thursday of that week - 26th). We would also anticipate a written reply to our letter, so a combination of these (and other) events should offer good opportunities for the Club to provide a valuable response.
Well I fell for it! Didn't register who had posted it and I assumed it was someone who worked for the club (and therefore would have seen it) , as we know a few employees post under different names on here...
OK, just found what I think is the relevant posting. It's from Henry's thread about the Bromley Addicks meeting on Tuesday of next week (at Bromley, on Tuesday ...... next week).
Here is the posting which, quite clearly, is referring to the announcement of the Bromley Addicks meeting (on Tuesday, at Bromley, next week), not the Club's response to the Fans' Forum communication:
As the club have cancelled tomorrow's game the announcement of this meeting in the programme will now not reach the masses.
Typical that the Ref should call off the game without thinking of us.
Shame as it was an interesting programme as well. Good interview with Darren Ward
I don't collect programmes so if anyone wants to buy it off me
[cite]Posted By: Henry Irving[/cite]The programme was never printed and I don't have a copy to sell just in case anyone else is getting confused.
Not strictly true, but I'm having them all delivered to my garage to go with the unsold VOTVs . . .
Actually, I understand the programme was mostly printed but not finished (folded, trimmed and stapled). Just in case anyone thinks this was part of a conspiracy!
The best conspiracy theory i heard on a Cardiff board was that it is the work of the Premier League in their attempts to stop Cardiff getting promoted !

As a Englishman, with a Welsh family background trust me, its all part of their inferiority complex (they think everyone hates them) we dont do we ? ;-)

Don't say that. You'll bring the e-bay price down

Umm .........basically, the contents of our recent formal communication to the Board (ie asking the Club to share its strategic plans).
Would you prefer that we stayed with smoking and catering?
Not that smoking and catering should be overlooked of course.
Now that the potholes are filled, we are 'reduced' to asking the big questions.
If that is so, can it be posted here?
Now thats why the game was called off!!!

LOL - the truth is out there.

Said the prog included the response to the letter and an interesting interview with Darren Ward, so it sounded like the poster had seen it.
;-)
Mmmm ..........

It has been edited and the original reference to the response to the fan's forum letter has been removed.
in effect probably, although technically the FA!
...or the Football League...?
