Yesterday members of our group met CEO Ioannis Vrentzos, Chairman Nicholas Randall QC and Director Jonny Owen. The primary reason for this was to discuss co-operation on in ground displays with hopefully fans returning soon.
We also addressed our concerns on comms from the club.
The club acknowledged the suggestion from ourselves and others that fans could benefit from better dialogue from within the club right now.
We have been keen to make the point that dialogue should not be restricted to existing fan groups. All deserve to hear it.
The club have listened and indicated they would look at ways to listen to feedback from fans on this. We ourselves have tabled some suggestions to encourage fan interaction.
But this is not about one event or update, it is about rebuilding fan relations at a critical point.
Inevitably all of this only matters to a certain extent. Results, especially now, are of the utmost importance but given the current supporter ban and various uncertainties that exist it could be beneficial, and offer some much needed hope to us all, to get some reassurances.
Good luck to the lads at Norwich tonight. You Reds.
The thing that everyone agreed on is that this shouldn’t be one chat that goes nowhere. Hopefully things will actually happen as a result but we shall see.

Very positive news, goes to show that sometimes you have to be forthcoming and open in your criticism to get the right reaction.

I think we have far bigger problems than ground displays.
By the way, is that the same Nicholas Randall who according to some is now only employed on matchdays and is it also the same Jonny Owen who according to some was relieved of his duties?
Asking for a friend.

Its good that Forza have managed to get some dialogue with the top table and give feedback to the fanbase.
Why can't the 'Supporters Trust' have done the same thing?
I have been scathingly critical of the ST from the very outset, as they have never openly engaged with us mere mortals.
Forza, on the other hand have been far more open with the fans, even though it is not actually within their remit to be acting on the behalf of us in relation to the board.

Jonny Owen is very much involved.
Nick Randall is not full time any longer, predominantly match days.
He’s now a non exec director, although the club have never announced it.

Yes there are bigger concerns than ground displays Sniff. Like the poor communications from the club at this period in time.
I notice you picked up on past comments regarding Nick Randal, Johnny Owen and the ground displays, but completely overlooked the conversation about the poor comms coming out of the club.
Can we have a bit more balance please?
Asking for a friend :P

Reds 73, I hear what you said, so who is the club chairman (or figurehead) now and do you know why our FD was never replaced last year?

Nick Randall is Chariman - he’s very reputable, QC, Name on the front of house. He brings credibility and the previous regime where clubs just wouldn’t deal with us.
But it is the Vrentzos show - he runs it

#NFFC have been fined £5000 by the EFL for 'failing to ensure that its players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion' in the Watford game after Nate Chalobah's challenge on Harry Arter in the 84th minute.
The club have accepted the penalty.

Cash or cheque? Whatever was said was justified. It was a disgraceful decision by the ref.
