Dear Brian,
I couldn’t let this whole distressing mess pass without a comment and as I don’t know how else to contact you….

I would hate you to think that the fans of our club don’t have tremendous respect for you and all you’ve achieved over many years because, even though this is a personal message and represents no-one but myself, I know that the vast majority of fans at the club bear no ill will towards you at all, not a shred. Just the opposite, in fact.

What they also have is a great respect for Mick Potter and the coaching staff, along with a distaste for the men at the top who got us into this mess, and that, and only that, is behind all the comments and apparent bad feeling. After three or four years of underachievement and a gradual decline in fortunes it seemed, under Mick Potter, that things were at last, on the mend; a team playing as a unit, fighting for each other and showing wonderful spirit. Even under the ‘glory years’ I’ve seldom been as proud of the team as I have been on occasion this season.

I hope the background, which obviously you must be aware of, from the point of view of a fan, can help you put all the negativity into context; it ain’t about you mate, it really isn’t.

Yours sincerely
Ian Copley

Seconded in full.

Seconded again (or thirded whatever the correct term is !!!!)

Fourthed. Very well put.

Agree fully - worth sending to Ross at the T&A - he will have a contact number for him?

Very well said!

Totally endorse that!

I don't tbf think anyone needs to tell Nobby anything, seeing as he (allegedly) felt himself forced out of the club by internal politics. Equally, while the majority of fans would regard both Potter and Noble as men of integrity, that doesn't cancel out the many vitriolic assholes and conspiracy theorists. They of course may well speak for not that many but as Nobby has said he still doesn't need it.

And I reckon that there is a pretty high percentage who when Caisley first entered the fray with Noble in his 'entourage', took a position that there is a conspiracy which ends up with Caisley buying the club for a song and Noble coaching the team.

Can it really only be 2006 since Nobby left and McNamara stepped up? Seems a helluvalot of water has flowed under the bridge in that short space of time.

me forth, could you put from RAB or put alot of names so if it gets published or whatever they know alot are supportive

Fully agree

Agree 100%
