    If you get the first question a good opening quip would be...

    "At the risk of this forum only lasting one question....I'd like to ask Ralph.."

    Ask Ron;

    As he seems to fit the club so well & seems very happy, any chance that he could commit to the next 5 year plan. Please.
    <ok>

    Ask them all;

    Can you state your ambitions for the club, here and now, one more time because there are still an awful lot of supporters who can't/don't/won't believe it.?

    More worryingly, what if Rodgers is still free? A chance to manage his dream players at source without having to pay £20m+ for them would surely be difficult for him to turn down!

    Would be nice if someone could ask them to allow the fans to have more of a say in future kit designs, just like the good ol' mid-90's.

    I remember those votes in the echo. Trouble with public votes in today's social media world is that they often get sabotaged.

    Another possible question....

    Following the completion of the Markus Liebherr pavilion.
    Which part of the clubs infrastructure is the board looking to invest into?

    You do realise that when someone used to say something was pony they meant it was rubbish. :)

    And when fans got involved in organising the first Ted Bates statue it was laughable. By all means have a yay or nay, but let designers do the designing.

    I don't remember that we were given a choice over the Pony kit. In fact I think it was that design which led to a lot of fans complaining about not having a voice. And subsequently for a couple of seasons, the fans we're given a choice of three designs - still designed by actual designers, not by the fans.

    Let's face it, we've had some pretty crappy designs over the last few years, and I think, considering they cost so much, they we should at least be entitled to a vote.

    I wouldn't restrict it to the last few. In fact, I largely enjoyed the designs from the post-2009 era of Saints. But agreed, we've had some kits which stank.

    You can always vote with your wallet....not essential to buy latest kit. Young kids might want it, because they want what others are wearing, but anyone past 10 could just give it a swerve.

    This. I've only bought 2 shirts in the last 15 years (my time going to games) and that was the home kit for cup final season, and the sash. I simply won't waste the money on it if I don't particuarly like it.

    That's just pissing into the wind. A few people not buying the shirt will make no difference at all. They will probably just raise the prices again. I really can't see why it's not reasonable to raise the issue at a fans general meeting. At least it's realistic. Does anyone really think that if Mike from Eastleigh asks Les Reed about Koeman's contract situation, messrs Reed and Koeman will suddenly put pen to paper right there and then?

    I think it's a reasonable question to ask...may be taken on board as something they can concede...though will have to be a choice from, say, three designed by the manufacturer. I miss the sash :(....luckily I have my little gnome in his sash kit by the fire. :)

    Nice being able to watch as well as listen. And being on You tube we'll be able to go back again and again to clarify points of discussion later. All good.

    Unlike a lot of supporters, I consider a change of Home kit from stripes to be fine and welcome. So, although the kit to return to may be red & white stripes, we can forage off into the past with variations of sashes, quarters, halves, extra broad stripes, narrow thin stripes, pinstripes, no stripes at all, white necklines, red necklines, striped sleeves, all red sleeves, Denmark kit, etc, or indeed invent new designs. We can do the same with the Away kit. The Third kit can be even more adventurous, as far as I'm concerned.
