    @City-since-67@City-since-67 come on! Waiting for you to answer the questions.

    How would a fly over damage the club?

    The only damage to the club is if things don't change

    Firstly, well done to @JonButterfield@JonButterfield for taking on the organisation of the fly by and for responding to the changing circumstances by taking the decision to cancel it. The decision to cancel was not a 100% right or 100% wrong decision, but one based on the balance of probabilities, given the evidence presented to him.

    And regarding that evidence, it is very clear to me, that whilst there are noises coming from various people within Valley Parade, the main one is Julian Rhodes. It is he who has been talking to various supporters (as reported by WOAP) and it is he who, no doubt, has laid out the current decision making structure within the Club to those supporters.

    Terminating someone's involvement in a business is often complicated and can take some time; I'm not sure we can expect an announcement as early as tomorrow, but I do hope that it won't be too long coming; the Club will know that this needs to be concluded as soon as possible, so that we can all move on.

    There can also be little doubt that the supporters have played a large part in the changes that are taking place at the Club, and that the strength of feeling amongst supporters has been very effectively conveyed to those in power at Valley Parade towers. For us, of course, it really is a 'Matter of Heart'.

    @JonButterfield@JonButterfield

    Fair play mate, you made the right call. How would any right minded fan do otherwise if told it would do more harm than good and have financial implications on the club, a no brainer for me.

    Having said that, I have no confidence that what you have been told would have factually played out and until he’s gone I firmly believe this should just be a postponement.

    To be honest I was hoping and still are hoping the reason it was pulled was far more to do with Edin going than a non contracted player signing for the club.
    As you say this fly bye has been arranged for several weeks the player was signed up on Friday the situation gets stranger by the minute.
    If things don't happen behind the scenes certain people who have put @JonButterfield@JonButterfield in this position should be ashamed of themselves.

    I'm not getting into an argument with you. Everyone on here knows what you are like and I'm not wasting my time. You add nothing to the debate whatsoever.

    If the end result is he leaves the club, his ego can be cocooned in cotton wool and bubbled wrapped for all I care.

    There wasn't time to discuss this with 64 people !! Doesn't it tell you something that a month ago the club weren't bothered about the flyover. Things are changing and now they are !!

    Then answer it to someone else. We're being told it would damage the club but no evidence is there to support that.

    Whispers aren't enough, "oh don't worry things will get better soon"

    We need to know what is happening, soundbites aren't enough

    If you are referring to Edin's ego I can assure you he was not involved and had this plea come from him then we would not have got involved.

    Then instead of all these playground activities
    Come out and say exactly what happened to postpone it

    @JonButterfield@JonButterfield have the people who got in touch and paused the question told you not to divulge what was said, if so all this is doing us getting fans against fans, even contributions from some who posibly didnt contribute.
    You was put in a very awkard position with time running out, was this an official of the club who made the request or a friend of a friend (not doubting tor a minute that you won't get the money refunded) can you tell us if it was an officual approch by the club, or would you prefer it to remain anonymous.
    This is not in anyway questioning what you did you was put in a difficult position IMO.

    He's asked a reasonable question though. Why on earth would a flyover damage the club? I just don't get it.

    Look I am not being arsy for the sake of it. I didn’t know until you have just told me that weeks ago they weren’t bothered but now they are! The club panic over a protest at the last minute and we are all supposed to stand down and behave? You then start snapping at me because guess what something only you know? I like others do not have a hot line to the club heirachy as you obviously do! I fully accept Jon decisions and obviously trying to consult with 64 ppl would have been challenging to say the least.

    I will await further developments.

    Where exactly am I snapping at you !!! I asked you to consider the fact that they weren't bothered about the initial flyover but yesterday they were. That should explain that things have moved on from 3 week ago.
