Bearing in mind i went out of my way to provide live streams from the q and a and welle group i cant belive some of the sh** i have recieved on twitter and here via messages or whatever.
So what if i thought Brian was a nice guy and i liked Kirsty. So what if i enjoyed myself and felt positive. Some people cant accept any form of pleasantry about the club whatsoever. All i try and do is say it how i see it. Im certainly not going to be bullied by anyone.
If i criticise the club i get told im a board basher and if i praise the club i'm naive or made to look an idiot. I think some of our fans need to take a long hard look at themselves. No point using forums or trying to get involved anymore imo. Dont need the sh**.

Unfortunately, if you put yourself out there, you run a risk of being attacked by faceless halfwits. Shouldn't take it personally because they would say the same thing to anybody. There are people out there that post nonsense just to get the response you talk of!
There were probably many more who found your relayed info useful.

Fair play Dins.
Personally you and Simon really gave me a boost last night/this morning; it's clear how much you both care, but recently how down/angry you've both been too (largely due to how much you do care). So for both of you to come out of last night's meeting feeling postivie was a massive, massive boost to me as if it can make two people who have been feeling so low IRO the Gas feel positive again it must have been pretty good!
It's a shame some people only ever see the negatives. Personally, on the whole, I thought the answers sounded very positive. Will we still be ***g sh*t? Maybe. But I'm prepared to wait and find out.
Life's too short to spend it being miserable as f**k - especially about something as pointless (in reality) as football.
Time to crack on and see what happens. If it all goes Pete Tong, then fair enough. But until then, we need to support Darrell and hopefully get this club back to where it belongs; the Football League.

The hundreds of people posting criticisms of the club yet only 50 people bothered to go to the wellie meetings and 100 last night. Its a sad inditement. Its very easy to say "there is no point"

Dins, being in London the only way I was going to find out what was going on was through a good soul like yourself putting it up on twitter. I'd like to thank you so much. It enabled me to follow a meeting that would probably have been swept under the carpet if it hadn't been for your voluntary actions. As I have found to my own cost, you get hung for whatever you put out in public. I've been writing and reporting for 35 years and you learn that you can never please anyone. I wish some people could put their criticism more constructively at times rather than resort to abuse and, in your case, why people feel the need to shoot the messenger I have no idea. It's just plain insolent. Please keep up the good work, for the silent majority who appreciate what you're doing.

Chill Dins, all will be fine when we start winning football matches under DC! And remember, whenever you're feeling sad, Kirsty made a move on you last night

Dins - I hope that you spotted my "thank you" Tweet, amongst the dross last night. I was following your Twitter feed throughout the meeting. I know that you are not a rose tinter, in any shape or form, so the fact that some positiveness was evident as your Tweets came up was an indication to me that this meeting was an improvement on the last, and maybe there is some hope for us after all. You did a great job with the 140 character limit.

You did a great job with the 140 character limit. I did thanks, i watered off a lot of people that hate the regime by saying i liked some of the club reps i met. Im just being honest. I wasn't massively impressed by DC so I'm not sugar coating everything. It was positive though as it was a start, uwe looks like it will happen, board changes will happen, they admitted fault on the footballing side and i even got an apology for relegation.

It's alright Dins. It's the keyboard warriors syndrome again. Mainly just school age children who cannot face down the people they slag off on the internet.
For what it's worth I think you got the mood of the meeting spot on. It seems the stadium is a cert now, and that the repair job on the pitch is just beginning.
Let's get down to winning matches and all will be well. UTG

Ben, you don't deserve any stick for saying how you feel after going to the meeting. You conversed with members of the board and regardless if you or anyone else agree with their answers or not, is surely one of the points of such Q and As
Despite some tough Qs last not and some unconvincing answers I think everyone in the room Thought it was a worthwhile and positive step. A bit of an ice breaker whatever anyone’s ultimate opinions coming out of it and I hope it leads to more of these and better communication all round

I would imagine the BOD will be less tense and defensive too the more of these we have.
Sounds at the least like a good start.

Ignore them, Dins.
Personally, as I find it difficult to get to these meetings and cant usually get to them, I find your updates really helpful, so thank you.
Sadly, not everyone will always see eye to eye, but you are honest with your opinions, so when you say you are feeling upbeat about it, a lot of us take note and listen.
Stick to your guns, fella!

I am not on twitter so cannot see the tweets you were on about,but can imagine/guess who some of them were from. Would not expect anything else from them,they find it too hard to find ANYTHING positive to say about BRFC. They just seem to like writing on forums etc,maybe just to see their names written up. All talk. And no,most of them will not get off their backsides to come to an Q&A/Welly group. After all "What is the point?" They are mostly a waste of time in my opinion and I would find it hard to not tell them that Don't let em get you down! They know who they are.

That's the problem with forums and social media some will always want you to run with the hare or the hounds. Middle ground or a change in perspective are frowned upon by some on both sides (massively negative or overly positive). But I just think f**k um and so should you.

I was following your updates on Twitter last night mate so thanks from me too. I was also following a couple of others and the clubs official updates also so was great to get different opinions. I went to the last one in June and found NH very defensive and angry, I thought BB was ok though and was pleasantly surprised with what KM was saying.
Like you I criticise when it's due and give credit where it's due, I get fed up also with some people and their 'agendas'.

Dins, i found your posts very refreshing and honest which left me feeling positive about our future
I've said all along and have been flamed many times about this, i believe there is a hidden agenda from a lot of people from the other forum and they just don't want this board to get things right, i can only assume its because the way they have been treated in the past
I look forward to reading your posts and find them refreshing and insightful in to they way things are
I may not agree with some of the items you post but i do respect your opinion on these issues
Please Please keep up the good work this club needs people like you to survive

I wouldn't worry about it!
The Twitter updates were great last night.
You can judge the likes if NH on his performance without knowing him, but very unfair to judge him as person unless you've met him!
Likewise, TW might be the nicest bloke in the world but when he states that we hadn't planned for relegation, he deserves some stick!!!
Look forward to updates from Somerset tonight!!!
