    He's already said why. We might not agree with his reasoning but I don't see the point in asking again when he isn't going to give a different answer. I'd rather the focus be on the way forward and what he and the players are going to do differently this coming season to get us over the line.

    You should take time to attend next time so that you can ask those type of questions yourself

    “Why did you take Scott Banks off against Carlisle immediately after he set up the equalising goal?”

    I wouldn't take MH's comment literally about 1 or 2 more players to come in. To me that's just a phrase you would say when still not quite sure

    Why is offering the chance of seeing city in a friendly match in Spain fleecing fans it’s an offering that’s all no pressure on anybody I just don’t see the fuss here. I think if I was complaining about fleecing it would concern replica kit pricing

    I was going but not attending now. I have just one question for MH if someone could ask.

    Why do we not put a man out on opposition corners a free kicks in and around the box? They would need to send one or two out to mark him, making the box less congested and we wouldn’t be getting as many repeat corners.

    I think we’ve been spoiled over the years with the ones Geoffrey used to run. He could sell sand to the Arabs and ice to the Eskimo’s in those forums.

    Why does nobody ever ask proper stuff at these things, instead just fart around

    Budgets, Rupp's involvement, Season's finishing position aim, etc.

    What's the point showing up to tip-toe around important stuff

    It’s a pretty ridiculous statement. The top 12 teams in league 2 aren’t as good as the bottom 12 of league 1. If he thinks that then he doesn’t have a clue about league one and some of signings that have been made by those clubs.
    I wouldn’t want the majority of our team in league one. Not if we were to stay up anyway.
    I’d say the top 6 clubs is more realistic but that’s the same for every division. For example Leeds, Leicester and Southampton are probably going to have squads on par with Burnley, Bournemouth and Luton for example.
    Sparks loves a sound bite to make us sound massive. It’s boring.

    Exactly.
    It’s already been asked and answered.
    No good raking over old ground.
    It will just get his back up.

    I wouldn’t expect a single word of truth from any fans forum, they are designed to appease fans, not stir up controversy. Never in a million fans forums would Hughes admit first team players could be leaving.

    ‘There absolutely won’t be half time zumba’

    Honestly, some of the questions were cringeworthy.

    One bloke talked about we need to stop talking about Wrexham then went on to talk about Wrexham for five minutes.

    Most answers were very cleverly articulated, in a non committal manner.

    Hughes absolutely didn’t say nobody would be leaving, just implied nothing was imminent but who’s to say clubs won’t be in between now and the end of the transfer window. That comment was more ‘we’re not in a position where we have to sell any players’.

    The ‘1 or 2 more’ comment I didn’t and wouldn’t take literally.

    I’ve been to a lot of forums over the years and this one was very low key with little of anything to report if I’m honest

    Id love to know which players haha He’s talking nonsense. The fact the guy is trying to rip his own customers/fans off by helping his mate out tells me all I need to know about Ryan Sparks. I wish he’d just keep his mouth shut tbh. We’ve seen this season after season from him and despite all his crap he has yet to deliver any success. This season we’re going for leaner and more flexible. I wonder what it’ll be next summer. Like I said.. he’s boring.

    No one said it's compulsory. The main gripe is the club making it compulsory to buy a third party package if you want to watch the game whereas other clubs playing at the same venue are offering just the match tickets.

    Also, let's not forget, they originally didn't even offer a match ticket unless you bought a hotel package with kadima so there was no way of planning the trip yourself. And let's also not forget that this, several hundred pounds, package was with a company who weren't even abta or atol registered.

    It's been a very poorly organised event from start to finish and the club should rightly take criticism for that and strive to improve for the future pre season trips they are planning.
