    Charlotte raising the question about ownership of the Valley and training ground. Gavin describes conversations with the landlord as "encouraging". Possibly looking at use of University of Greenwich areas near the training ground.

    For what?
    Didn't say.

    Sticking a vegan kitchen on it
    Sensible decision. As long as there’s enough chips for the vegans.
    Would 13 suffice?

    Asking about likelihood of any more incomings - answer from Rodwell best described as non-commital

    Gavin asked about the Millwall game - says the players are up for it, and some of the owners are coming over but he's warned them "it's likely to be a little spicy"

    Ooh Lucy asking "is it a happy camp?" on the back of the recent departures, and refering back to the training ground Valley split from the last meeting.
    Hopefully Jim answers the happy camp Q

    You have to watch for that zipper to go right to the top, then you know he's gonna strike.

    Basically saying that its circumstances and personal reasons, but Sparrows Lane is a very happy place to be at the moment.

    Says life goes on

    Now Lewis asking the "happy camp" question. Rodwell "I just think it's circumstance... we will miss all of them but life goes on..."

    Am in awe of how long it took Rodwell to answer that question.

    Charlotte asking if we can get control of the tv feed so we can show the tunnel jumps and the crossbar challenge. Gavin doesn't know but will try to find out.

    Apparently we've renewed Karen Hills contract.

    Usual question about use of the loan market, usual answer that we'd prefer to develop our academy prospects.

    Gavin Carter talking about how pleased he is it's 2 promotion spots for the Women's team this year.

    Interesting question about whether it's hard to negotiate the wages or transfer fees - Rodwell says this year it's been negotiating with other clubs as players have wanted to come but clubs haven't wanted to lose their best players.

    Another good thing to come out of Tuesday night's game, Ahadme's gone on a season long loan to Stevenage.

    Rodwell just sounds and looks constantly pissed off doesn't he? Has the disgruntled northerner act down to a tee

    Thought that was the Best one so far
    All came out in Credit and answered some tough questions at the start especially re catering

    Said it before but this Club is genuinely moving in the right direction and I think we can all look ahead to exciting times both On and Off the pitch

    Maybe speaking happily is alien to him?

    Another very good fan engagement call, which we have no real entitlement to. Good questions. Positive stuff from Ed & Gavin.

    I’ve got to say Gavin didn’t look overly enthusiastic to be there either.

    Far less stage managed and comfortable Q & A than last time.

    Not just saying that because they used five of my questions.

    I couldn't tune in unfortunately. Did they answer anything about the catering?

    Ed Warrick has the demeanour of someone who's spent all his working life in Finance cranking numbers, who's been allowed outside to do something more interesting, and is loving it  :D
