Ideal time for one as it will give people like Charlie to attend before watching the game.
^^^^ thinking similar.
A good move from the club.

Add in
training ground (not started by him) but agreed to pay what ever the rent is and sign it off. [emoji736]
Academy coaches and scouts[emoji736]
Introduction of a new u23 side[emoji736]
Improvement to the important ox4life package [emoji736]
All little steps, but all things that have been missing. Doesn’t strike me as someone who only been here 3 days and has no one running the club. Or as someone with no money, these things would not be top of the list if true.
In fact if it was a different owner, people would be getting way more excited by the exact same improvements
Yep...heres mine
Given our chairman/owner having a proven inability to grasp the concept of real-time, will it actually start on time? It'll definitely be cut short as theres the matter of a football match ongoing
IF Robinson is supposedly attending the fans forum, then who is doing the pre-match ( his first home game in charge) team talk?
Most who go to matches have something of a pre-match ritual (for luck) that will be interrupted by holding a fans forum on the same day as a match. League 1 survival hinges on amassing a certain amount of points, so why f**k about with fans and supporters superstitions ?????,
Questions, of which there are plenty, will not have enough time to be given proper consideration, so this pre-match Fans Forum is no more than a PR exercise, paying lip service to what should be the opportunity to ask questions of those with the answers, yet - & given its a bank holiday too, with travelling by public transport limited to a Sunday service- whoever decided on holding a pre match fans forum certainly HASNT got OUFC supporters interests in mind
Nor that of local to the breeze block businesses who rely on home matches for the bulk of their income
Maybe Tiger should make himself available for a fans forum on a NON match day?

Team talks aren’t held 2.5 hours before a game. In fact most managers don’t speak to the players until about an hour or so before a game and generally leave them to go through their own preparations before going in to speak to them once the warm up is done.
Most of the team talk and instructions are done the day before a game.
Leaving one up front at corners.
Nonetheless KR will slope off( to work) from the fans forum before the fans forum has run its full course. IF the fans forum is limited to a time span ( which could equate to anything given the owners' proven inability to adhere to time spans) this pre-match fans forum is highly likely to be a PR box-ticking exercise, with no real substance....... IF the start time is too early it will deprive interested parties relying on public transport of having their say.
Fans Forums SHOULD be held on non-matchdays
Spare a thought, for example, for chef at the 'bird, spent hours already planning the pre match buffet for Good Friday, sourced and acquired many of the ingredients in advance, and now the new regime decide to hold a limited time, limited access to key people, fans forum on a matchday, a matchday that is also a bank holiday with reduced public transport services.

I suspect Faz will be doing this anyway with KR observing/saying the odd thing.

Sunday maybe but by next Friday Robinson will be taking the team fully I’d imagine.
Sod that, its a stupid time for a Fans Forum.
Good news that one is being held, even if the timing is less than ideal. I hope Tiger has prepared a bit more for this one. Plus I hope we find out a lot more about how the club is going to be financed now and in the future, and just what are the plans to bring long term success to the club.
After the initial car crash of a take over there are some positive signs in the last couple of weeks. We must however remain skeptical and questioning until the big questions like the finance have been adequately answered. Everything good so far could come crashing down if it is not backed by money in a way that does not bankrupt the club.
Its far too early to claim the new owner is good for the club until we get the big picture and a lot more answers (and Dave T that for me would apply to any owner).

Agree totally mate, I’ve never said he’s good for the club, nor have I said we don’t need to find out the answers to those questions. My point as always is adding a bit of balance to the overly critical and negative comments, that are very one sided.
As always I can only judge an owner on what he does, so far his actions are speaking louder than words for me. Even with the tax bill and the initial press conference. Both were put right almost immediately by paying it the next day (it could just be as the club said and not a major conspiracy) and better interviews face to face after the conference. The rest is at best speculation and the people putting it out there don’t even have the balls to back it up with evidence or who the source was that can make it credible.
if he, Tiger, wants to ingratiate himself best he avoids handing out Carabao and instead some of this ....
A better option than the overpriced swill served up at the Breeze Block IMO
Think a lot of people will be put off by the timing. 1015 am finish, then linger around until kick off.

Ah good point. Oops.
Exactly my point!!!!
Public transport is reduced to that of Sunday service on a bank holiday, so many interested fans will NOT be able to make the start time
And if our chairman is relying on public transport, whats the betting the forum start is delayed????

Yet again the supporters are being given scraps, that may be good enough for Dave T, but for some of us we have no chance of getting to the ground for that time and then to spend time waiting around for the game to start. As Sarge states fans forums should be held on non match days with at least 4 weeks notice.
