Well surely it would be worth your while going the extra 42 miles to see your beloved mighty Gills, than travel all that way to see a team you've got no affinity to, and in a division of less quality?

Shame. Was looking forward to an update on Wimbledon-gate.
I wonder if that is what his meeting with his lawyers is about?

If it want to be cynical I would say its an implied threat to the fans who have been abusing him on line.
Amazing how we can always afford more legal action.

Or to discuss the continued ramifications of our punishment of breaching the terms of the bail-out loan.

Could be but who knows if we will ever know.

I would imagine it's to do with the FA charges ref the Shrewsbury melee.

I'd be surprised. I'd have thought you'd engage lawyers for civil law not infringements of FA/EFL rules of the game.
Maybe he's preparing to sell up.
Maybe he’s working out how to hand the reigns over to his son?

I would think it more like Scally is looking into weather he can put the frighteners on a few online critics or vocal critics in the ground. That seems to be where he is most focused. There is past history. Basically that is primarily the reason I do believe he needs a front man someone who can field questions from fans and deal with the press .Also rewrite a few of Scally's long winded statements which often do him no favours.The chairman should be trying to boost crowds.That can be done to a degree by the manager and players. But uncle Paul is very much part of that unfortunately he seems more of a negative and the more publicity he gets the more problems he gives himself. Occasionally he does say and do some stuff that helps boost the club don't get me wrong I think he could be a asset to boost crowds.
But he definitely needs help but it has to be someone with the balls to stand up and tell him how he can help himself and the club.He has to be willing to listen. That could be the most difficult bit.

I think that's likely at some point. I think we will see more of him on the chats before that happens though

Are we thinking it's over then?
You can't blame him I guess as people just took the piss out of them but I liked the idea.
Nice to hear what he was working on.

I personally am against any of the constant abuse aimed at the chairman whilst the game is on. Actually i am against it before a game.
Having those people around me during a game would push me over the edge eventually lol.

I expect we'll get more Chairman's Chats, but I always thought that planning a video every week was over-ambitious. Once a month, with a written update/bulletin at the two-week interval in between, would have been sensible - but only if there was a bit of discipline to get through a full range of topics rather than spending too long talking about something people don't care about! As with so many things when it comes to GFC - nothing wrong with the idea, but the execution has been a bit lacking.
Got to feel sorry for the guy on the communications...
...a complete lack of communication and lots of people (rightly) get pissed off.
Then he communicates regularly and people take the piss out of him:
- for promoting revenue generating opportunities
- for moving the meeting by a couple of days
- for criticising ‘fans’ who jump in to the directors’ box to abuse him
- for not answering every fan’s specific question on every topic
- for some of the cringiness when roping in BFSE and sponsors to explain the damage that the moaners are doing.
Honestly, these people are just on a wind-up. Their dislike of PS is so strong that they are blinded when he actually does something good.

For those of us old enough to remember the days before social media , videoed 'Chats with the Chairman' , interviews with the players , manager etc didn't exist. And somehow we managed to soldier on.
The current , voracious demand for fans to be kept up to date , brings with it , its own set of problems.

True enough VG I used to wait for the evening post to get my daily update which was often nowt.
However we do live in the digital world and gills need to (and are) embrace it to get the message out there and attract new customers

Although wasn't there a premium cost Club Line where you could phone up and someone would give you several minutes of updates as to what was going on at the club?
