Football Trust meeting pre Northampton

[Mr Shitpeas]

MD is Mehmet Dalman.
SJB

Yes but it says Managing Director, Mehmet Dalman. It’s not about the initials MD.

 

[Jimmytaff]

Probably an innocent mistake in the rush to share promptly

Dalman is always referred to as MD in Trust reports. What you see must be a typo.

Potentially controversial question, but have you ever considered rebranding this place to avoid confusion with the almost identically named Cardiff City Forum that likes trying to undermine the club? Especially considering the traffic you're generating on Facebook, which will be much more visible than what goes on here.

 

[TDA]

In all seriousness, I didn't start the forum in order to get anything from the club but for the last 8 years the only time we've been mentioned is indirectly and it's always either the manager or senior staff slagging us off. I've never once had any contact from the club and any mention has been publicly negative towards us.

You might say they're talking about AAMB but the mentions are always about "the messageboards" or "forums" plural. This forum gets more engagement than any of them and that's not even mentioning our Facebook group of 17,000 members which takes more moderating than this one.

And now apparently the trust, who I've always tried to be positive and supportive of, is outwardly telling the chairman of the club to not look at the forums because we "do not reflect the majority of the wider fan base", as if everyone on here has the same opinion on everything.

The community is made up of fans of Cardiff City and I'm getting pretty fucking tired of us being looked down upon as some sort of nuisance that just needs to be ignored.

Frustrating as it is, I don't think the vast majority of people browsing get any further than AAMB. As you know, that was my experience yet again in engaging the Lincoln forum, where after further discussion they identified AAMB as a proper football discussion platform and this place as a meeting venue for piss heads and attention seekers.

It is what it is, but I don't think that MD's comments could possibly be construed as including our forum as I don't think he would get very far down our front page.

piss heads and attention seekers.

AND?

Wasn't wrong there.

 

[TDA]

This place is too far out of left field to be taken as a serious discussion board.

 

[TDA]

AND?

There is no "and".

 

[DeadDeadGang]

This board is where those who dont want to be bombarded with negativity go. So perhaps they should give it a look and they realise not all cardiff fans are ll gammon faced has-beens with agendas.
