Fair comment Richard. Thanks for the update , never a right or wrong with communication but one has to respect the Directors using appropriate discretion in such matters

Thank you for the reply Richard.
The issue with the signing / not signing / availability of Efe is in the match preview for Saturdays game it stated:
The squad will be boosted by the availability of recent signing Efe Ambrose who missed out on the FA Cup last week, having played earlier in the competition for previous club, Bury.
His arrival has caused great excitement within the club and it will be a special moment when the Nigerian international and former Celtic defender steps on to the Borough Park pitch in a red shirt.
He didn't play and nothing else was said (as far as I'm aware) until after Tuesdays game. I admit I hadn't listened to tuesdays post match interview before posting so I wasn't aware it had been mentioned, the same goes for Cass injury but I did just use Cass as an example. The club may be better just putting a short statement out if someone gets injured, obviously once the player has been assessed, with a brief update. The same if there are any problems with future player signings / loan deals being recalled etc. Tuesdays match preview just said he was doubtful along with 2 others. Now it seems that it is more of an injury than just doubtful!
Good article on the female side, however unless you looked at those news outlets we wouldn't know, it's only been today that the club has put out a link to the articles. Can we not be the first place to break stories like that on our website in future? Might help drive more traffic to the website and its the first place many people look at for club updates.
Also good to see the reserves update as well.
Fully understand the last point about future plans but it's taken for someone to ask the question before we got any information hence the frustration and rumour mill turning.
The idea that someone mentioned about monthly newsletter update is a good one, this could include all sections of the club including the Juniors, disability, walking teams, upcoming events / promotions in the following month etc.
Anyways, like I said, we appreciate what everyone does for the club just giving feedback along with others to try and prevent any unnecessary frustration on both sides as we are all wanting the best for the mighty Reds

With regards to publishing information and I appreciate we are going off topic a little here. Mark has clearly answered what the hold up is with Efe to a point where there simply is no more to tell, you know as much as us. Injury wise similar from Mark on Cass it's likely to be a while but as of yet we don't know any more. Female side funnily enough there have been two news articles posted in the press yesterday (before the above post was posted) there is no more to tell at the moment but progress is being made. Future development of the club, well if I'm honest much of this is now at a point where the stadium is the controlling factor. We are at a point where we need to concentrate on delivering that project whilst looking after the clubs interests long term. That is taking a lot of time and most of it is quite simply not for the public domain at this point, it's pounds and pence, it's business plans, revenues, savings on overheads etc. That is where we are and that is the same for both clubs but in different ways. That's not to say we aren't looking to develop today, tomorrow or the next day but we do have to be wary how anything long term will transfer into the new stadium or on the flip side how anything we do short term isn't just chucking money away for the sake of it on a Stadium that hopefully has a very short life expectancy. Hi Richard, I appreciate your reply and the onerous work you are undertaking on our behalf. Part of my reason for asking for an update comes from an understanding of the coordination it takes to align multiple stakeholders and run a complex project like this successfully. The stadium project has been going on now for over 3 years now. So far I feel board updates have been generic assurances rather than summaries of completed actions and agreements. I'd really be grateful to have something definitive around what has been agreed, next steps and best guess timelines. I am not expecting to have detail or confidential content of meetings etc. I suppose I want to feel more certain the club I support has a vision for the future it's fans can share in.
