Yep, got selected. My question was: "What is of greater value to the club - Investment in talent from outside of the club, or further investment into the Academy for homegrown talent?"
Of course, they're both important but it will be interesting to hear the opinions of those at the club.

I'm guessing they only let people in who asked decent questions. 
Plus I bet you don't actually ask your question again, I bet they just read out your questions from a prompt sheet to stop repetition? (Didn't you have to submit your question when your applied?)
They'd never fit in 150 questions in 2 hours would they?!
If you get to ask another question at the end, ask if they'll ever open up the rest of A Block now that away fans have moved further away. Would create a better atmosphere around the A/B block along with Lower Bridgford and U1/U2 etc

Well, a nice night was had. First 45 minutes was questions asked on the application email selected at random, then a break and then almost an hour of questions from the floor. After that was photo and autograph opportunity.
Stuart Pearce has a very sharp and quick wit, raised some proper laughs. Paul Faulkner comes across really well and seems to properly understand the club, it's supporters the history and it's 'iconic status' as he put it. Chris Cohen great too, he referred to how he'd like to finish his career with the club.
Last night was the first of many apparently, Paul Faulkner wants to start giving more back to the season ticket holders - all 15,000 of them and more than some Premier league clubs.

Did you get any photos?
I must also share this story but admit it's very much a "you had to be there" story:
Chris Cohen was asked what he'd be doing if not a footballer, he said he always says he's a roofer when he's out and his best mate is a roofer.
Soon after, someone asked Stuart Pearce (remember, he's an electrician by trade) if he could take a look at his bathroom lights sometime between now and Sunday. Pearce's response was:
"Yeah, can do. In fact I know a roofer aswell. He's got a day off on Sunday."
The whole room filled with laughter as you can imagine.

to settle the old nerves Reasonably happy with a point. Good game, plenty of fouls though...
Seem to remember last year we got stuffed after the international break, so this was better, still top and I thought Derby looked a decent side. Heresy I know.
Losing Reid early was a blow, so all in all, not too shabby.
