Wouldn’t it be more neutral, if you all came on a Jolly and held it in Toronto?

Me too

 

[Eeyore]

I'm FREE then

Are you in the Cliftonville TOMORROW ? I might pop by and share a SAUSAGE with YOU. Would be good to KETCHUP with you again.

Maybe ask Chris at the Prince Albert if you can have the upstairs if they don't have a gig on ( or the back room if not too many ), easy on the train for people and parking nearby.........just a thought.

I'm available for two of the three. I can guarantee it will be on the one I can't do. If that is the case.

Please thank Paul for 99% of what he does. Turning up and having a go for the 1% that perhaps some don't agree with seems a little churlish to me but if he is up for a chat what's not to like.

Paul will have an enjoyable evening with fans grateful for his and the club's work. All talk on this summer's transfer window will be amenable. The "churlish" confrontations won't happen.

I agree. Lucky to have a CEO like Barber.

It was the first venue I thought of when thinking about a central pub.

 

[Bozza]

It's good of him to make himself available and he's always been great at speaking to fans. But I confess I don't entirely get what he's about here. Does he WANT the critics to come out in force so he can shut them up by the force of reason? Or is he hoping no one mouthy will show so he can say there's no real issue here?

My position, for what it's worth, is that I've been strongly critical of the way window was bungled (as I see it). I've argued the club's much vaunted transfer strategy needs re-thinking. But I've said my piece elsewhere online and not on NSC.

And, although I won't agree with Mr Barber on this issue, I still think he's an excellent CEO. So, not sure there'd be much point me showing up. He won't persuade me and I won't persuade him.

It's not a "transfer window Q&A". You can ask about anything you like. And you'll get direct honest answers.

And unlike on here when I paste a Paul Barber note and it gets picked apart, people will be able to go back on Paul's responses and ask the more direct follow-up question.

If this takes off , perhaps PB would be up to a meet for the London based fans?
Say Wembley

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

wouldn't it be easier to hold a Q&A on here then close the thread after an hour or so?

This. If he wants to engage with NSC (including the northern and overseas seagull diaspora and, for better or worse, the keyboard warriors) then engage on NSC. Otherwise it's just an event in Falmer or Brighton much like the Fans' Forum with probably a lot of the same people.

Run it like a Reddit AMA: open a thread, people post questions, people thumb-up the questions they most want to see answered, Paul answers a selection of the most popular and the conversation can spin off from there (or not). We'll probably find that vBulletin doesn't support that format very well but it seems like it would be worth a shot.

AMAs are ridiculously slow though, aren't they? The fact is we can talk a lot quicker than we type which both allows more to-and-fro on points of contention and allows more questions to be answered within any given timeframe.

If you want to question Barbs, just pop in to the Western Road Starbucks of a morning and say your piece.
I've had many enlightening exchanges with the be-sweatered one that way.

Brighton or Hove ?

 

[Rugrat]

He does has to be asked as to why, as 8th highest nett spenders in Europe, and with 4.1/2 months to sign two strikers we failed to get one.

And yes, I'd like to ask him that question myself.

But you know the answer, and there's no valid argument you can put up to challenge it. If you try, his next sentence starts "what you need to understand is ........."

 

[BensGrandad]

Whilst appreciating the good work done by PB I believe that this wouldnt achieve anything as it will turn out like a politicians Q & A session which avoids straight answers as the question being too sensitive to receive an answer so although well intended rather pointless for most supporters, except of course those that want to be seen to be seen talking with PB and consider them selves special.

 

[TSB]

Brighton or Hove ?

Fair question. Hove. Possibly both.
