The club ambassador cites Mark Twain and Graham Taylor as he urges fans to share opinions without bitterness, and listen to other opinions.
These are words from the writer Mark Twain. His quote actually goes:"If God intended us to talk more than listen, he would have given us two mouths and one ear.”Sadly, we are at a point in our world where volume and vitriol appear to have more value than the art of listening.
That, or me being told by the media that myself and John Barnes would want Watford road names changed to ours. Told, not asked! When we replied “absolutely not” the proposer was shocked. Riding roughshod over something does not change history. Nor does it create an educated future. “That doesn’t mean you have to agree with them but a recognition that they’ve got as much right to express an opinion goes a long way to establishing that we all exist on the same planet.
Luther: You can be annoyed, but you have to have the facts before you can impose your annoyance on others. Yes, modern facilities are marvellous but consider the blood and sweat that went into every single brick and blade of grass. Players that follow on must earn the right to walk in shoes and understand why.
But I was still there volunteering for years for the Club and the fans. Because that was what I was brought up doing. Becoming Ambassador has been a few years in the negotiating – and not about wages I may add. I had an existing contract and I had a small increase in my fee. The main thing was that I wanted a pathway that would enable me to ensure that I was heard and changes could be made. At my age I would hardly do that if I wanted an easy life!Luther: Well firstly I am learning all aspects of how things are being done.
Everyone is entitled to be listened to - I may not have all the answers, but if I get some things changed and communicated better then I will be pleased and proud of that achievement.Luther: To be honest, as an onlooker I was surprised at the initial appointment as I wondered what his role would be, perhaps like many fans.
Then I decided to wait further until after the Club arranged that event for Gino to talk to fans, something the EFL had raised as a topic back in April. I told Scott I wanted to have a really clear picture of where things stood and I was prepared to wait . . . a year.
