Fan Forum; One Week Away.

[Billy bodger]

Q&A fans forum on the 23rd of February 6:00pm at the Mazuma Stadium Local Choice Suite is only a week away now. Tickets on general sale now, hopefully it will be well attended and even more it will be informative for the fans.

You can forward questions at media@morecambefc.com or ask questions on the night. Members of the Board and Ged will be in attendance.

Topics I would like to see discussed are:- Progress of the Sale of the Club. The upcoming Fans March advertising we are for sale. Retaining members of our Squad for next season. Looking into Ideas for a Fan Zone out side the Mazuma.

They won't be discussing the March as it has nothing to do with the club so limited to what they could say.

Fare enough!

Leave it up to them to bring it up!!

But if it is, the point I would want to make is any action by the fans is only to put on public record our disquiet at no movement on the sale of the Club and is in the end only the same type of action as when the Board of Directors made their extraordinary public statement.

James said on this week's podcast that 90 tickets have so far been snapped up for the fans forum

Think the early start will put lots of fans off

[Billy bodger]

3 days away now, but the general consensus is unfortunately there is nothing new on the sale of the Club, that’s disappointing if true. However there are other issues surrounding the finances of the Club. Also with Ged being there an insight into players contracts and the shape of next years squad would be a topic that could be discussed. I just hope it’s not a waste of time from the fans perspective.

My ticket for the forum arrived last week. I was charged £2.50 but it was posted out to me so I don't mind.

There's lots of questions to be asked particularly on the sale of the club , and whether we can now take Sarbjot off the possible owners list. Has the club tried contacting people who may wish to purchase an EFL club , people like local boxers which is unlikely and he already owns a fair chunk of the land etc. Maybe see if any retired premier league footballers wish to own a great club.

Have the club tried to negotiate with Tyson Fury for the sale of the G3 training pitches which are of no use to him and could be put to good use for the youth of the town which Tyson has championed before.

Also Derek mentioned that we had options to renew some contracts although I don't think that will be disclosed in detail and quite rightly.

Are we actively looking to appoint a new assistant manager to replace J McMahon as it was thought the coaching team was light before the new chap joined a couple of months ago.

Yes 6pm is an early start , maybe there is a board meeting or something later in the evening.

[Wild Bill]

For me the key questions are around the club sale. What happened to Sarbjot? Have any other offers been made? How is the sale being advertised? What is the asking price? What can thd fans and board do to get the message out that MFC is up for sale?

No better time to try if he's going to up-sticks to Keithland...

I've said all along that the caravan park will extend and now it has new travelling owners removing bangers, modernising and creating new developments it looks even more likely in my opinion

[P/T Indie]

I think any questions about ownership will be met with it's confidential we can't comment.

[Old Man Kensey]

I can't imagine we will get much in the way of detail regarding the sale, more broader bigger picture answers.

I'm pretty sure the Board are just as frustrated as we are.

I've got my ticket but I'm not holding out much hope of getting any real answers from the evening, we might however get a feel of how positive or negative the Board are feeling at this point in time.

Our CEO, Ben Sadler said on Twitter that "we've decided to wait until the summer to get the right person in. All in agreement that the current team are more than capable for the rest of the season".

Well maybe Ben needs to post on here because not everyone is on Twitter ‘X’ the same as appearing on the podcast not everyone watches it. This platform seems to reach a fair number of Morecambe FC fans since I’ve been on it I have enjoyed all the different views but the Club don’t seem to want to use it. Facebook is just an extension of the Club website, it’s not a platform we’re views are exchanged or debated.

There is not a great deal of hope that the forum will be beneficial other than holding it and a box ticked off on a sheet of paper!

Jason's arrived in good time and is straight onto looking for a good deal down at Christie Park...
