    I really don't see the point of doing this without Jones. Fans want to ask about what's happening on the pitch and there's going to be no one there to answer those questions. He may have a prior engagement but if Jones has simply chosen not to attend it's pretty poor from him.

    With the greatest of respect, we may never know. God willing, that will be the first question asked of them all

    Someone has to ask why we persist with a back 5.

    Fair play for doing one at all when we’re bottom of the League. Could get ugly

    If anyone on here goes or knows anybody going please can we have a question on the state of the high interest loan we took during covid.

    There were rumours of SR settling/refinancing it when they came in but nothing ever confirmed.

    See I don't think anything like should be asked at all. Why would we discuss the specifics of tactics with a bunch of fans?

    For me these events should be about the wider running of the club such as the block one fiasco and fans in the home end etc

    This isn't very useful because my memory isn't good enough but I'm sure I remember hearing about or reading that we refinanced with a far far better deal. If I didn't read it here I probably heard it on TSP. Think it was a while ago now. Anyone else remember?

    Away fans in the home end has to be brought up. That is the main cause of violence in the stands and is not acceptable.

    They'll say we do everything they can blah blah blah ignoring the fact that stewards openly let them in and show them to their seats.

    Also guarantee they mention the database thing for the Toon game despite it not working lol.

    Cheers, it may well be possible that I've missed it as I don't follow everything.

    Confirmation would be nice though as the terms were crazy iirc.

    But but but, that nice man Toby Steele assured us at the last fans forum it just doesn't happen. <doh>

    The cynical part of me would change that to: "Fair play for doing one straight after they've just spent over £60M" ... the timing is very fortuitous don't you think?!

    I’m not at all surprised Nathan isn’t attending . Like him or not, like his tactics or not, he’s here to try to keep us up. There would be far too many fans there who can’t see past their 15 seconds of fame to take their turn to bash him rather than ask something objective

    Given it's ST holder's only I don't think that would be the case at all TBH.

    This 100%
    The crowd will be full of moronic fans chatting **** at NJ, personal attacks too which would be pathetic.

    Yes, not great timing for NJ. Don’t blame him really.

    But think of the valuable advice he'll miss out on, from people who've won the Champions League with Saints on FIFA 21.

    I hope he has his ears open enough to hear that the fans want the 5 at the back gone, the pundits want it gone… and by all appearances so do the players.

    I don’t care if he doesn’t go to a forum, as long as he is listening…

    I'm amazed that none of you has picked up on the obvious reason why Jones won't be present...













    ...but maybe his successor will be :bandit:
