Thanks for bothering both of you. I thought you did a good job of asking the questions in a firm but non confrontational way.
Because they care. But it's a very good question. Why bother when the answers are so pathetic, dismissive and trying to avoid the question.
Because if they didnt we have even less communication with the club At least after their engaging with them we can decide what we think about them rather than just guessing based on nothing. The fact that the answers given may not be to all our liking doesn't negate the value of asking the questions in the first place
I think my question has been took out of context.I suppose my attempt at sarcasm as been swallowed up by all the gallows humour.They've done a fantastic job and I for one is more than grateful.
I think everyone knew exactly what context you were asking it in 'why bother when all the Barnsley fans are so horrible to my uncle Paul?'
I knew the club was up the creek before so I'm not arsed about it to be honest. Just a regurgitation of what we already knew. In the grand scheme of things the key stat is that we're 24th in the Championship staring down the barrel of relegation. The £750k issue and West Stand debacle have been a great subterfuge as it for the most part has taken attention away from the crap on the pitch. In that respect the new CEO has worked a flanker.
I think it works the other way, our good season led us to think that all was on the up and the scoreboard, stewarding, West Stand, missing money from the club this season shows that our club employees are left plaiting fog to a large extent.
If you look on other platforms, rather than just the BBS, then it's more asking 'why bother' when people are so critical of those giving up their time to facilitate the interview.
Head to the official thread. Or Doug O'Kane's Twitter/Chronicle. He was on the call in the background so he could cover it too.
Anyone who is critical of Gally for giving up his time is a bellend. Anyone who is critical of you is perfectly justified. Just to balance it up a bit for forgetting gally was on the Dane video.
I've got thick skin. And a sharper than what's used on the BBS tongue. So I'm happy with your assessment on this front.
I know this is slightly off topic but what do you actually do for a living? I know it's brewdog but are you a rep or something? (Or whatever a posher word for that is). The way you speak in interviews is extremely welcoming and has just the right balance of professionalism mixed with informality
Cheers - I will watch it at some point. Just struggling for time. Cheers to you and Gally for making the effort.
Think its only a handful. The vast majority are very grateful of your work..i thinl its the usual expected responses and dodged questions from the CEO that gets some folks back and up not you guys for doing it.
