There's a Fans' Panel meeting on Thursday 29th August. Wanderer (Gary) and I (Mike) will be attending the meeting.



These meetings take place around every six weeks. The Fans' Panel members meet up with club representatives Carl Hall, Gavin Baldwin, Shaun Lockwood, Mark Hughesman, and others to discuss various club matters. No agenda for the meeting has yet been issued by the club.



Questions from fans are invited. If anyone has any questions they would like Gary and I to ask at the meeting, please post them on here or send me a Private Message. The club prefer real names to be used when questions are asked, not forum aliases. With this in mind, to help ensure the club answers your question, it would be helpful if you could add your real name to your question or questions. Thanks.

Promotion looks increasingly unlikely (though not impossible). Do the club already have plans in place should plan A prove unsuccessful. With DMBC seeking to appoint a legacy officer for the world cup a place in the championship seems essential by 2021.



My real name btw

Thanks, Rob. I'll ask this question next Thursday.

looks like being a very short meeting with just one question to be asked,,,

The Facebookers have asked quite a few questions, the club will have an agenda for the meeting, and I'm sure other fans in attendance will be chipping in along the way.



Most of the meetings I've been to last around an hour and a half.



It'd be nice to have a few more questions from forum posters though...

Will CH be putting in as much effort to getting the club promoted as he has himself? Prince Harry tweeted that it was a real honour to meet him.





Whoops I forgot my real name - Zebediah Twine (or my assistant)

Careful,I got lambasted when I made the same comment several weeks ago. But seriously where has he been,no comment in the last couple of months or even longer,when the team has been struggling to meet expectations?Now that he's mixing with the big wigs I honestly don't think he's bothered anymore and therefore next year will be a repeat of the status quo because we are not going to get promoted or even make the play offs.

Not wishing to hijack DM's questions thread but my belief is that trips to New York and Ottawa will count (League 1))and I will end the CH issue with that statement.

Is there a serious question lurking beneath the surface here, Tatty?



I'm quite willing to ask it, if you want to put your name to it?

Here's my present list of questions:



1) How many current players have already signed contracts for next season?



2) When will the club start announcing the names of players retained for 2020?



3) With the reserve grade being reinstated for Super League clubs, how will this impact on our DR relationship with Hull?



4) When will Season Ticket prices for next season be announced and when will tickets go on sale?



5) What's the latest RFL news on the status of Ottawa and New York?



6) Has there been any more progress with regards to teams outside of Super League getting their own TV deal?

Thank you for the offer but no because my expectation of a genuine answer is zero.I used to have a really good relationship with him but sadly my respect for him has gone because of the way he has distanced himself from the fans when the 5 Year Plan is a joke,DR has failed,the coaching has failed and the club has once again stumbled along on a track of mediocrity.

Erudite as ever DM. Good stuff.
