i can only imagine how many people on here would be up in arms, if we had the old style vic jobson wall of silence approach. You ask, Ron replies, if you dont like the answer you get thats your choice, at least he takes the time to inform the fans whats going on at their club.

Ron Martin = Legend!

Anyone else think that publishing this email in full (spelling mistakes, bad grammar and all) is a bit wrong?

The email clearly states he wasn't expecting a reply so it wasn't the intention to be used in the Chairman's Blog, as opposed to many people who've emailed specifically for that reason. The person who sent it whilst not being the most literary of souls has an obvious passion for our club and was merely expressing frustration at his view of events. To have this put up for ridicule, which if not Ron's intention is certainly what has happened, is a bit insulting to someone who is obviously a loyal supporter of the club. I feel however that part of this blog was to put the email out to be laughed at, almost a 'look at the idiots I have to deal with' sort of thing.

I have defended the blogs in the past and overall think they've been a good idea. However this one sits a little uneasy with me.

As for all the snidey comments about the guys grammar and spelling - are we saying that to express a view on our club you have to pass an English exam first?

I hope not because, in addition to the "schoolboy error" of their/there, we also have Steve Tilson, our Manger. Also, you are precluded from something, not of something. Punctuation is a bit lacking in a number of areas too.

I think making fun of that unfortunate email does him no great credit and is on a par with shooting fish in a barrel.

I agree completely, the fact we get these blogs is a good thing. I just feel the content of this one, specifically how he used that email, was ill-advised.
