As mentioned on another thread, Paul Barber is very happy to host a regular informal question and answer session in Dick's Bar where all the questions and, dare I say, moans which feature on here could be put to him face to face. Do we want to do this? Thoughts please.

Definitely a good idea - well done to Barber for welcoming it as well, he seems like an incredibly busy man.

Good idea. Anything which encourages good communication between club and fans should be welcomed.

Yes a good idea, but l don't know if the meetings should be as frequently as bi-monthly as the OP suggested. Paul does, after all, get out and about quite frequently updating fans groups etc. around the County. But from time to time, or when something important needs to be communicated then yes, why not?

Voted no, why would PB worry about anything other than his own agenda?

Voted no also. I'm sure Mr Barber has better things to do then to listen to constant moaning about petty stuff from our fans.

It's a no for me too.

PB is contactable and replies to every piece of drivel that's sent to him.
It's not possible to make him more accountable, and yet we continue to do so.

Yes but no disrespect to you but get someone else to mc it. At the Ropetackle it was 60% you, 40% PB.

No, unless he's going to be made accountable and have an agreed set of outcomes.

I've been to one of his things, all very nice and back slapping, lots of understanding about fans concerns with a commitment to look into it. Then a quick pint and a bit of social.

If that floats your boat go for it!

I never know whether Bi-monthly means twice a month or once every two months?

Same with Biannual.

(I'm assuming in this case it would be once every two months, otherwise he's got far too much time on his hands)

Fence. As others have said, he does make himself very available on e-mail and is getting out regularly to supporter groups around the place. I'd come to a fan's Q&A in Worthing but wouldn't make a special trip to the Amex for one.

Once a month is enough,plus it should be open to all fans not just regular ones

Transparency and comunication is generally a good thing. I suspect the anti-Barber brigade wouldn't attend though, for fear of hearing the club being reasonable.
