Surprisingly I agree with much of what Bartonscorpion says.
The damage has been done. Irrevocably some may say.
However honourable the idea of a fans panel it won’t get us the ground back. It won’t get us a squad that can win us promotion.
The fans weren’t even listened to on the kit vote, given what we’ve ended up with. So what’s the likelihood of being listened to on a panel?
Remember those token “Students Committees” at school?
Rather like politicians canvassing before an election they’ll nod their heads and tell us they’re on our side, but ultimately do what they want.
The best that’ll come of it will be shorter queues at the refreshment kiosks, but given what the gates are likely to be that’s going to happen anyway!
I admire your enthusiasm for it Awaywego. I’m guessing you and UTI99 have already applied. Or will UTI be sat on the other side of the table?
But once again we find out about it from a website, not from the club.
Communication? What communication?

It’s really that simple.
And Sweeney Todd was just a barber!
Just watch the game, concentrate on the eleven players. Don’t look anywhere else. Nothing is happening off the pitch. The ground hasn’t been sold, we’re not heading for non-league. Just watch the players in their pretty tie & dye tops.

UTI99, think about it please.
As several people on here have said when you check out the OWS or when you receive the club newsletter as I do each week all you get is buy season tickets, buy last season’s kit, etc etc.
All it takes is a few sentences saying something like “Neil has identified areas where we need to strengthen and the recruitment team is actively looking to bring in players that will contribute to our challenge next season. We will keep supporters informed as and when we are able to confirm any new signing”.
Or letting the fans know about any trialists.
That doesn’t require a brain surgeon either!

The toxic atmosphere as you call it hasn’t been created by anyone posting on this board. It’s been “Bru-ing” up for three seasons now, and has been brought to a head by the owner’s decision to sell the ground and land to raise revenue.
This has been exasperated by the lack of communication between supporters and the chairman, and falling out with both the local press and local government.
Jem Karacan’s podcast gave us an insight into why our recent seasons have been so poor.
You say this is Cox’s team but is it really? There are still a good number of players on the books who arrived ahead of him. We also can’t know if there have been any players Cox wanted who the ownership have knocked back.
You are right that we still need further recruitment, and whilst you say it’s a new season and a chance to banish the bad times, we can’t be certain that things will magically change for the better.
I hope it does but I’m not overly optimistic.
The Hungarians and Russians have it right!
You mean those embracers of Marxism?
