Chairman Rad ox 5 min ff with oufc owner

Who told you this?
several posters on here as well as acquaintances who know one or two OUFC employees.... questions via rad ox 5 min ff are, Im told, 'pre approved' to be answered on air

additionally, from my own personal experience, having submitted a question for yesterdays 5 min fans forum, I was pleased that part of the question I submitted was asked & responded to, albeit part of the question submitted wasnt asked.

which is probably all that could be hoped for in the on air format, better than what we had before while not 100% ideal IMO

proper fans forums, as in fans and those in the hot seat who take and respond to questions,in the same room, however that is when un-edited, un- filtered & un- censored questions can and are asked

Well that is a great shame and makes a nonsense of the whole thing.

Why I expected better I don't know.

Its the best supporters have currently to ask questions , albeit 'managed' , of those who could and should have the answers

Until those able to do so at OUFC (the Owner, MD, head coach n co) agree to an open fans forum, rad ox 5 min fans Forum is all weve got. Hopefully the next one, (open fans forum) whenever its arranged for, will not be time limited by taking place on a matchday, before the game. Ideally ,(for me, for one), itll be held of an evening.
Supporting OUFC for well over 50 years, Ive sort of learnt to live in hope, but conversely not to expect too much ,from which ever regime are running the club :cautious:
 
He’s an mp in the making, apart from saying ‘we made mistakes’ we learnt nothing, the question about the ultras was more or less brushed under the carpet, yeah we could have done better but we are looking at ways of making the match day experience better. Bollox, it was a soulless place before, it’s even worse now.
 
Of course the questions are 'carefully selected'
And of course they are not going to tell us anything they don't want us to know!
Cynical I know.
 
Of course there will be vetting of the questions.

You can't expect the presenter to plunge his hand into a bag and pull out a question from "Karl from Oxford" only for the club representative to reply with words to the effect of "I don't know the answer to that" or "I can't say anything on that topic".

Regardless of whether you think that such answers are treating the fans with contempt or as "mushrooms", it would hardly make scintillating radio.....
 
KR taking questions this coming Thursday's 5 min fans forum

So what’s the point of it then?
 
There is a difference between the question being told the cub in advance (so they can find out answers if they need to, or get a consensus as to what the answers should be and how much information can be put in the public domain) and 'vetting' - which would imply that there were some questions that they simply didn't want to be asked and so RadOx wouldn't even ask them.

Yep. I thought that was apparent from the moment they told us it was ‘pre-recorded’.

Having said that, the fact that NM didn’t know the answer to the level of investment from the owners, indicates that they haven’t been told all the questions in advance.

Or maybe he did and just didn’t want to tell us. Proof of the pudding will be if he comes back with a credible answer.
 
Know it’s probably been posted elsewhere in the thread, but how/when are questions submitted? Would like to ask about futures of players with expiring contracts, especially Mous

via twitter @bbcoxfordsport

or via (sms)text , start your message with the word Oxford and send to 81333

it may be worth adding 5 min FF in whichever option you go for.

sooner rather than later for Qs probably a good idea too

This I can answer, and in less than five minutes...Mous is here till 2020.


Unless you mean an extension beyond that?
