Some great questions already lined up by others that I’d want ask by the look of this thread.
Will be uploaded to YouTube the following day apparently.
Would be good if they explained why we’re a bit timid with our social media presence. Other clubs have podcasts, regular club news updates etc, but we don’t.
May be because we’re a “small club” and there isn’t a lot to report but can’t help thinking the “internet team” aren’t actually doing very much on the internet to speak of.
Had to check Crawley list of Managers to jog my memory. I see Sean O'Driscoll was a failure in all his jobs lasting 5 months at Forest took Bristol City down and did not last long at Walsall either. Now at Weymouth? Looks like we dodged a bullet there!
he was such a disappointment leaving so quickly - as he is where he is now I'd agree he hasn't suceeded
Sean O'Driscoll came to Crawley, got his holiday pay, and buggered off. It tasted bad. However, although he never managed us for a competitive game, there's no doubt that he had us playing in a style that made us look more like a football league club. In our rise from National League to League 1, we relied a lot on the ball over the top because we had a player like Tubbs who could scamper after it and beat the defenders to it. I won't knock the style because we did mix it up with decent interplay, but it was sometimes found lacking on a wet pitch where it might take a while to find the range and avoid the ball skidding away for a goal kick. It was effective, as results showed. But League 1 was a different animal and we needed to move away from an over reliance on over the top and a furious workrate. I saw us playing under O'Driscoll in some pre-season friendlies and thought 'Who are you and what have you done with Crawley?' Although I was pissed off with him, you couldn't really blame him for taking Notts Forest over Crawley. Wanker!

You are right LB, there are some great questions in here but let's temper our expectations on this.
Remember that Preston is not doing this because he wants to - he is doing it to ensure compliance with EFL regulations and he is being forced to. Questions are submitted in advance to eliminate the questions he won't want to answer - I anticipate a few "I love Wagmi and I want to have your babies" style questions and I expect that we will not reach the Open Forum as the questions would then be unregulated.

A real shame Sons that you feel the need to be so negative
1- applying to the council for a longer lease or even to buy the ground 2- new commercial deals to be announced in the summer 3- shouldn’t have taken the fans for granted

Liking the sound of all this
Preston is speaking a lot in past tense. I really hope they answer the future plans question. I’m still not convinced.

Fair point.
Now should be their opportunity to give us reassurances not further uncertainty.
The Only Question we want answering is 'ARE PRESTON & EBEN BOTH STEPPING DOWN IF WE DONT GET PROMOTED THIS SEASON AS STATED WHEN THEY TOOK OVER'?
please dont SHOUT. Yes its a question ive asked and Twitter says its all over. Did they cherry pick the questions? Plenty of other Ive asked not been addressed.
Trying to follow in Twitter. I found it very disappointing. Still Jed Brown is with us till the end of the season. From Twitter coverage appeared to be a lack of questions, or even answers to questions sent in.
