I recall seing it was lodged years ago but I think the company went out of business. No idea if it's happened again or if that actually happened in all honesty. 7 minutes ago, Frank conner said: Doesn't stop folk crying about having no money but refuse to turn up. Iv missed 3 home games this season due to illness of me or my daughter. 1 minute ago, Frank conner said: So what are your suggestions then? Probably another one I won't turn up but expect money to just appear! I bought a season ticket to support the club two days before our first league game due to assurances I was given by someone that will remain nameless that dgw wouldn't be paid off from money coming from supporters. Iv also been putting in to the players fund since it was official he was off the books. So hush child. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted December 20, 2022 Author Share Posted December 20, 2022 I think the point is that the fans are putting money in, it’s more what we’ve done with that money that seems to be the issue 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough I buy a season ticket to help the club I love not on the basis of some insider bullshit.

I guess I am a special kind of twat, that being the case... I was merely showing that what you said was nonsense, as usual. I'm actually surprised it's taken you this long to pop up again on this thread. If mcglynn was still here you'd normally be here every day telling us how terrible everything is.

TxRover Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 1 hour ago, grumswall said: Building a stadium there just wouldn't work regardless. That area of the town isn't easily accessible via train, bus etc for travelling fans, nor is it particularly attractive for home fans with the surrounding amenities. It's all pie in the sky stuff regardless, unless one of the supposed interested parties are ridiculously wealthy and fancy losing millions. Which all can be said for most mooted sites, regardless. The reality is SP is a decent location, crippled by tight boundaries and aging infrastructure. If someone wished to, redevelopment at SP likely would be the “best” choice…guess it’s time to start buying lottery tix again! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I'm not really sure what this has achieved. According to the article: - We are looking to move players on - We are close to breaking even - There is no threat of redundancies - Everything is fine if we finish in top 4 - Please donate money to us Also found it weird how he "believes" Sim was back in the country and at the game. Is there that much of a disconnect between the Chairman and the Owner that they don't know if the other was at their clubs game at the weekend? I don't doubt the intentions of those close to the club, at all. However, every time an article comes up - more questions are asked than answered - which really is not great at all. I find this statement a hard one to follow - "I think we certainly have some good players that teams would come in for in January. I believe that we have some very good assets here. I'm really not sure who anyone would bother coming in for. None of our contracted players warrant paying a transfer fee for, and those out of contract surely teams would just wait until Summer? Mentioning selling "very good assets" is not a way to calm fans, nor is it a way to encourage people to buy half season tickets etc. Don't get me wrong, there a few players I think in an ideal world we would be wanting to move on - but those players need willing suitors. These type of comments with little to no context do no good whatsoever. Certainly is weird he was sat in front of Sim in the directors box on Saturday 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TxRover Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 In the end, the whole chatter about stadia and such comes down to what a member of our BoD has said (SP is in danger of failing safety standards if we don’t invest some money) and what our Owner has said (he’s not so interested in continuing to invest in the Club/Facility). No matter what happens, the Club needs somewhere to play games, so we either fix up the dilapidated white elephant that is SP or we move elsewhere, and judging by what has been said recently, the time for that decision isn’t that far away. As there is no where in the immediate vicinity that would be suitable, a move to a nomadic existence for any period of time would likely cement us into part-time status and down a level or two as the attendance would likely wither. I guess what that means is that making a silk purse is the best bet right now at SP, but the club needs someone(s) to come in and provide the necessary financial support. I simply also wondered if there is anywhere suitable for purpose to relocate to, and it seems clear there isn’t… 3 minutes ago, Frank conner said: Texas still that boring! Fucking seriously?

pub car king Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I'm sure we employed a P R firm in January.
