Really disappionting how this thread ended.
What started as positive feedback/comments resulted in something completely unfortunate.
For me I'm happy for the original post to come from within the club, as the people who work there will be fans and will be as excited as the rest of us are to see the team do well.
I think where it went wrong was asking someone not in the right position at the club to comment on club matters and for that person to respond.
I think the questions would have been better directed to the Fans Forum during the week, as the person in the right position should be addressing them.
If these become quarterly meetings there will be plenty of opportunity to raise them - not saying the queries are invalid.
In any other organisation, banks etc, only qualified members of staff who are media trained, or have the responsibility of the organisation are qualified to post respones of this nature.
I think any Accies employees not with that responsibility should take the approach not to comment on club politics, even though best intentions are at heart to try and respond.
A number of fans will be happy to hear from staff in this forum and hopefully it doesnt put others off in future.
