Shadwell Dog Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) 50 minutes ago, Shooboax said: Some of the folk owed the most money (6 figures each) now run the club. The people owed money voted through the CVA. There was a collective decision to accept zero pence in the pound. It was all about saving the club. The guys now running the club were those who fought to take back from the previous regime. Nobody at East End has tried to defend what happened. We've accepted it and have strode on collectively to ensure it's in good hands for the future. So the decision was unanimous then? If thats the case then I suppose you have a point although you should still be doing the right thing and paying back some of the people who lost out especially now your making a profit. Surely that would really cement the local community and make up for the bad taste left in the mouth created by the cheating of the past. I presume that unlike rangers most of the cash wasn't owed to the HMRC which it was in the case of Sevco or Dunfermline could easily have gone the same way.

While being no lawyer I'm not sure of the legality of doing such a thing, it's been mooted before and it would open up a massive can of worms. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Stirling Albion in the cup on Saturday at Forthbank. Hopefully a decent crowd head through although it is bang in the middle of traditional local holidays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buttonmoon1980 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 5-0 Bairns and a McHugh Hat-Trick ;-) Baird will come on and score to boost his confidence! Craigan to score too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one told me it's a local holiday ?? i was quite enjoying this shooboax poster, getting plenty of bites with small quips. This long winded pish has just confirmed to me he is actually being serious though. Wee lamb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First fortnight in July is usually a popular period for local trades to be off etc. to be honest, it's probably mirrored across the country with the schools off too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believe The Hype Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Meh, I'm Monday - Friday anyway so will be there regardless. Hoping to have the wee man there for his first game. Mine was the 93 b&q cup final at fir park beating st mirren 3-0. Was heavy snow if I remember correctly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC55 FFC Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I enjoyed last Saturday's friendly and we played some neat stuff at times. Be interesting to see who starts up front, I think it will be Austin & McHugh tbh.I think the team will be:Danny RogersLewis KiddLuca GasparottoPaul WatsonLuke LeahyMark KerrCraig SibbaldWill VaulksJames CraigenBob McHughNathan AustinSubs:Deniz MehmetAaron MuirheadTony GallagherMyles HippolyteKevin O'HaraJohn BairdLee MillerYou can tell the strength is there this year when there could be no room for David McCracken & Scott Shepherd with Tom Taiwo, Peter Grant & Liam Henderson still to come in to the equation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of nostalgia googling required I think. Was that the game in the howling wind in the days of Crabbe, Keith & Mossy? I also remember Latapy getting sent off for us there 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC55 FFC Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 I think it must have been about that era. A quick google scan revealed nothing. Abandoned though as my employers and me have widely differing views about what I should be doing for my wedge. Pretty sure I remember the weather being horrendous. Whips right into that stand. Yep, we made a great decision that day to move from the stand to the terrace.... http://bettermeddle.org.uk/archive/match.php?season=1998&id=220&type=1 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
