Expand on this please. What more would you like to see that would make it a “go to” website for you!? Would like to see some community / chat room there for the many fans who are not on here for example. Maybe some online ‘membership’ tiers so could interact. Surely fan data also useful for the club? Essentially mailing it more of a fan hub - maybe small subscription for more ‘access’. More incentives to visit - maybe some ‘giveaways’ Make it local! Have it designed and managed locally Please, stop, I beg you. |

Lock this thread please Admins, these 10 questions are the only ones that need asking and are of any importance. |

In addition to speaking to a few outlets this summer, I will be conducting his end of season Diary this weekend. You may have seen his recent tweet quoting some questions already submitted, those will be asked. If you can, please refer to that tweet and if there are any glaring omissions, I will try to get those in as well in the spirit as always of open access and transparency. Leave them here and I’ll mark them. Also it goes without saying, but “why are you a Knucklehead” probably won’t make the cut, so let’s please be constructive. Tough questions welcome. My question in two parts: 1) What is the club's expectation on how League One will compare to the Championship in terms of level of competitiveness? 2) As an extension of the above, are there people at the club who are able to advise on this in order to inform future decisions regarding investment in the playing squad, i.e. what will a competitive team in the third tier look like? Thanka for reaching out. |

If we are seeking the holy grail of instant automatic promotion then :
(1) What is your name?
(2) What is your quest?
(3) What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Wow! Can you imagine having the opportunity to ask those questions at any other club? The ATT meetings have been going on for years Pete with questions asked and sometimes answered. Why are you trying to suggest we Town fans should be more grateful when we've witnessed utter shite all year? I'm well aware of that. I'm not suggesting gratitude |

"3. Stadium Connectivity A panel member enquired about the potential for the installation of wi-fi at the stadium. Mr. Threlfall-Sykes said the club was examining the possibility of doing so. He also confirmed that the club was in the process of developing a new website and app." As per ATT in March. Maybe they cant do anything until he gets full control of the stadium but hopefully he will also answer this question to when he might be taking it over as the last time he spoke about it he said he hoped by the end of the season it would be all sorted so fingers crossed he's got it then he can implement these ideas as he also said they was looking into a new bigger score board and many other things. |

9. Dean Hoyle bought the freehold for £550,000 in December 2010….he said on multiple occasions he “may” transfer it to the club, but he never did. Now youve got space for a new question, not sure it’s worth wasting anyone’s time asking questions whose answers are already in the public domain 🤷♂️ |

If they put stadium WiFi in, you can add a tenner on to the ST price. I think it’ll be quite common in a few yrs time. Can’t have folks slumming it with cell saturation at half time… |

Arriva Wi-Fi is great, when you're the only person on the bus. Get to double figures in passengers and you've no chance. I'm not a Hawking when it comes to the tinterweb though so maybe that wouldn't be the case? |

In the minutes published I am not sure how it is thought that lower season card prices result in some people attending less due to them being devalued.
And as for wifi god technology is not Towns greatest forte.

Might be more worthwhile finding out just how robust our land licence/lease is. Have we got a 50 year agreement that is watertight, or can Dean lock the gates at a whim? |

Q - the official website is boring and not a ‘go to’ site for many town fans. Can you rebuild / redesign it and make it more interactive and interesting? Expand on this please. What more would you like to see that would make it a “go to” website for you!? My suggestion would be have the interviews typed out so we can read them. Used to happen up until a few years ago then it became just a link to a video. The Examiner then used to type them up but that stopped when they got rid of Chicken, so now there is nowhere to read the pre and post match interviews, that I'm aware of. |

If you want the login, just arrange to go on a tour of the stadium 😉 |

Bit like the stadium shares being put in a trust, not wanting/expecting to get money back, not blowing our brains, not sleepwalking into relegation Could go on For a lot of good DH did he could spin a good yarn and play up to the fans Should have been a politician. |

Two points:
Hoyle spinning a yarn? Colour me shocked!
People moaning about Wi-fi is everything wrong with football/the world.

Improve the screen situation and actually put the scores on it and most folk would have zero interest in WIFI anyway.

Edit, sorry, I quoted the wrong post of yours. It should have gone in here, apologies. Hoyle actually recently had an opportunity to put the stadium shares in a trust, secure a zero interest loan from the council to fund stadium infrastructure investments, and gain operational control of the ground for the club. But he killed the deal - that was ready to go - when he came back in after Hodgkinson went bust. Because he wanted to sell the shares. huddersfieldhub.co.uk/exclusive-new-fears-for-john-smiths-stadium-after-huddersfield-town-owner-dean-hoyle-pulls-plug-on-community-trust-deal/ |

Firstly, apologies for the way I worded my final sentence, it was late and its a tad abrasive - thats not how it sounded in my head at the time!! But, YES, I have considered that possibility, but Dean Hoyle is the SOLE owner of the freehold of Canalside, thats an unquestionable fact, as documented with Land Registry. He owns it through the company "Gweco 493 Limited"...a company that Dean is the sole active officer of and sole shareholder in, and which continues to reflect the Canalside Freehold as a fixed asset in its latest filed accounts. And to answer someone elses question, the football club has a lease which runs 20 years from July 2019, a lease which was filed the same day that Dean transferred ownership of the football club to Pure Sports. |
