The annual #Notts forum has in effect, questions vetted in advance

The same will likely be happening in this scenario?

Piethagoram Yep. What usually happens in these sort of programmes the Same Old Same Old ground will be covered things will asked so has not to present the  guests with Awkward Questions they Can't or Don't want to Answer. When the Hard questions come to the surface it will be Well We've Ran Out of Time, we'd like to thank our Guests Joe Palmer and Richard Montague for their time and NOT Answering Any Questions That Notts Fans Really Want Answering. Yeah OK I Added the Last Bit. Will the Questions be written or Phoned in by Fans? If it's the latter, it will probably be and What is the Question you want to ask Joe or Richard? You tell them, and their answer will be Thankyou for your Question caller , your question is in a queue and will be answered if Time Permits. Sound Familiar?

I can remember on the BBCs "Nationwide" current affairs programme when Maggie Thatcher was asked a question by a woman she hadn't been briefed on.

Maggie was caught unprepared and it was an embarrassing moment for her & since that moment, the politician answering the questions has always been told what the questions are or may be, & like you said, it will be no different here.

I remember that Robbie wasn't something to do with the Falklands War and the Sinking of the General Belgrano?

Yes I remember it was about the Falklands war, the controversy about the Belgrano went on for months after that question

Politicians insisted afterwards that they were briefed on what they were to be asked by members of the public on the TV or Radio.

I'm expecting some politician's answers as club employees are limited in what they can say and they can hardly rip into our current players. That limitation aside, I think it'll be illuminating and it's good that they're speaking on a fans' platform that isn't controlled by the club. 

Yeah I'm not quite sure what some fans are realistically expecting from this. A lot has already been said in the statement the board put out earlier, fair enough if you don't agree with it but you're not going to get a different answer a few weeks later. And considering they themselves have admitted the season has been disappointing season, it's not been disastrous so I'm not quite sure what questions are even that tough for them to answer?

I think it'll be interesting to watch but at the same time part of me feels like I'll know some of answers they'll give. If for example they question why didn't we sign any defenders, I'm sure the answer will simply be; some of our targets weren't available/ some wanted too much money/ some signed for other clubs...

@menzinho I agree, I don't think we will learn much more than what we know already from both statements.

I'm sure both of them will stick to the script and ensure they don't deviate from what they wrote.

The most important thing we have learned is that they are behind Stuart Maynard, and they wanted to end any speculation about his future and they certainly have.

@menzinho I've listened to the podcast and we haven't learned much more than what we already knew
