[quote="Greg Florimos Boots":33txeo26]I agree with a lot that you have said previously but I totally disagree with this. Hoddie most definatley is anti-rugby and anti-Fax. He should be nowhere near any working group that has the interests of both teams at its heart.[/quote:33txeo26] He's not. You don't know him. You just don't like how he asks you to provide fact rather than bluster

[quote="Bubba":qdds68tm]He's not. You don't know him. You just don't like how he asks you to provide fact rather than bluster [/quote:qdds68tm] To quote him - "I wake up every day and hope to read the news about Fax going to the wall. I doubt there'd even be enough interest to phoenix it. Squatters out." There are a hell of a lot of posts on that forum that are very similar by him. I do find it funny when he is provided with an option that backs up everything that I have said and suddenly he moves the goal posts. Says a lot about him as a person and again from a fax point of view, he should be nowhere near anything that is working for the best interests of both clubs. He could ruin something that has the potentital to be a good idea as no Fax fan is going to support it when they know what he has been saying about our club.

Hoddie literally runs a town forum where a large percentage is slagging the rugby club off , in john mcenroes words ' you cannot be serious '

I don't know either Bubba or Hoddie. What i will say is i believe Bubba is genuine in what he says. Hoddie however is absolutely full of hatred for Fax and should be nowhere near a group trying to find the best outcome for both sporting clubs using The Shay.

[quote="Bubba":3skud1jo]On the flip side, is he worse for the future of the stadium or either club than any director who has led, for example fax into the current financial predicament they find themselves in?[/quote:3skud1jo] He has the potential to be as bad for our club. I wonder what the Town fans would be saying if there was someone that was part of the group and for the last decade or so had talked about how they want Town out of the stadium or to go bust again? I think we know the answer to this.

I see good will to all men didn’t last long.

But they'll put all of their energy in to whining on an internet forum, potentially getting an outcome they're not happy with, and then throwing their hands in the air at the injustice of it all when really they've done nothing actionable to try and alleviate their concerns. Hats off though to any supporter that supports their local team and puts the effort in to actually go and watch them, rather a team where the most effort they have to put in is turn the telly on. I would hope the love for their club is the over-riding factor in this, as is ours. I would argue there is more wrong with football that needs addressing rather directing their ire at us.

[quote="Bubba":1jpgf56z]So you want free speech to be limited on the forum to something you agree with?[/quote:1jpgf56z] Ironically there is no free speech on there as I've been banned 7 times . He can crack on with his forum but should be nowhere near anything to do with the running of the shay.

You've only been banned if you're being a dick or trolling. If you're making a fair argument, you wouldn't have been banned. This forum used to be the worst for banning.. Hoddie was banned...which i think probably led to his low tolerance of RL trollls

Seems like the kind of fair impartial person we want involved in the running of the shay.

I'm a strong believer in accountability. Hoddie should have warned flea for being abusive . That's his job .

[quote="Bubba":1eqehxex]He's one voice. Don't be so paranoid[/quote:1eqehxex] There is no being paranoid. Yes he is one voice but it is a voice of hatred towards Fax and when he has influence over a lot of members on that forum who seem incapable of thinking for themselves then it becomes a problem. I do have a feeling what you are saying and what you think about the situation are two totally different things. Again would you allow someone on your group who had expressed a hatred of all things Town going back nearly a decade?

With another football game being postponed ( before Fax have been anywhere near it ) with the backlog of games and the rugby season getting ever closer I can see the issues with the weather and pitch coming to the fore. In view of recent posts it will be enlightening to see if and how much blame and abuse will be levelled at the rugby club again.
