    Too right! ?
    I am with @Gaspode on this one. I think it's much more important to have an open and frank meeting where the club representatives can speak freely, than to have a bland public exercise that acheives nothing. If the NDA allows this to happen then I see this as no different to what many private and public  businesses have in place already. You have to respect commercial confidentiality and this is a critical time for our club in that respect.
    As for representation,  I feel reassured that the club has chosen to work with established groupings, not just now but over the several years since these supporter charter meetings have been established.
    I have seen many engagement initiatives set up in my line of work,  where new systems have been established whilst alienating all the people who have been doing the work before. Starting from scratch inevitably means that the "wrong" type of people get themselves at the table, rather than those who are happy to work with and engage with their constituency all the time - whether formally or informally, like this Forum. They put in the hard yards for little or no reward, so I am more than comfortable that they will try their best to represent the range of views in a constructive manner.
    Let wait and see what comes out of the meeting before we start beating up our club yet again.

    The Stadium currently has ACV (Asset of Community Value) status, where a moratorium of up to 6 month applies in a situation where the ACV becomes subject to sale. This permits a Community Right To Bid for the Asset during the moratorium. Has this time condition proved a barrier to previous or current takeover bids? Is a local consortium involved in the bidding?

    I think we need to get answers to every point on this, including the details behind each one. Why are we the only club in the entire football league default in payments to the HMRC. Do regulation 16.2, 16.3 and P&S non-submission of audited accounts really relate to purely amortisation or is there more to it? 

    This is as of this morning.

    Is there any future plans to move away from having betting advertising? ..... Due to increase in people getting in debt through betting and effect on metal health and increased suicides from betting debt. Understand means needs other forms of advertising which i'm sure isn't exactly free flowing at moment but be nice to acknowledge the issue/ have a plan to move away from it in future.

    Your investment into our academy has been first class. Nothing gives me more pride supporting the club than seeing a local player become a first team regular. With the success of our academy, what is the long term extenal plan recruitment plan for the club? Can we have a similar long term vision for player recruitment?

    What is your thoughts now on the EFL having been through the last 2y?
    Do you think they (EFL) have a vendetta against our club?  (Or more specifically senior leaders in the EFL).
    When you speak to other chairman to what extent are they sympathetic toward us?
    What are your thoughts on future governance of EFL?

    This is likely more media hacks having fun at Rooney / Derby's expense; we're such soft targets. Remember the Covid-positive clown that visited Rooney allegedly with a presentation watch to show him, which put Rooney into isolation last season?
    Rooney could do with behaving with more decorum as a public figure and also be mindful of the disruption, disgrace and cost that Derby players contrived not long ago, in their stupid drunken-driving incident. 
    I've begun to expect little else but public scandal, business ineptitude and zero entertainment from DCFC.
    They don't deserve a large loyal fanbase and it's difficult to see any progress at present, the club is up zzhit creek without a paddle. 
    Seriously considering (after more than 5 decades of S/T loyalty) whether to require a 21/22 refund and postpone visits to PPS for a season (and the 100-mile round trips) if the seat can be deferred for a season....
    Shambles.

    The EFL don't have a dispassionate justification, Ken Tram.
    They exist in a spiteful, insular parallel universe where objection to their vapid policies and initiatives, like the feeble broadcasting rights deal, or intervention in the imbalance of 'parachute payments' is admonished and suppressed  in a harsh, lengthy and painless fashion.
    Derby are major criminals! Their plans and projection must be disrupted and their competitiveness damaged for years.
    However, in the other irregular football universe, six self-appointed 'elite' Premier League clubs join a clandestine mutiny for a European Super League which would wreck football pyramids around Europe, have to back down in disgrace - but 'endure' a rapid judgement within weeks being required to pay the equivalent of a £3.7 million donation apiece to football funding.
    They suffered no points deduction, no embargoes, no banishments from cup or European competitions, no relegations.
    The 'elite six' can still spend freely - indeed, Manchester Utd spent £73 million a few days ago on one player, Sancho, and are mooted to be spending another £80 million+ on two more players. The normal order of things continues.
    Well done, EFL, you've really got your house in order.
