A] No it’s not true.

A] I have no problem with this. We have nothing to hide and we all want the best for the future of Huddersfield Town.

6] If I were to give £1m to the club as a gift, what would you do with it?

9] Is there scope to bring in some new faces?

A] At the moment no.

10] Could you ask The Director how much attention he pays to the opinions of the fans (whether it be by websites, papers, mailing lists or what-not). If he doesn't personally read or listen, does anyone relay the opinions on to him, and does he react to them.

A] From work and working very long hours.

15] How do you get on with the other 3 directors seeing as you have only known them for 3 months (assuming that you did not know them before the consortium)

A] We get on very well. We have a good balance between us, Geoff and David are from the old school and Paul and I are the youngsters. We all want the same thing too which helps.

Have you got a message for the Worldwide Fans?

Please keep supporting us in whatever way you can. Stick with us. Town is very important to us too.

I like Paul and Paul’s attitude very much. I also like where he is coming from when he talks about Town. He admits he has a lot to learn about running a football club but is prepared to learn in whatever way he can. I for one am glad he is on the board, He is also as obsessed as the rest of us, which can’t be a bad thing in my opinion.
