No difference whatsoever between 5pm Thurs and Tues morning. Banks businesses and tax offices all closed.

Salaries have to be paid next week so do some of the tax liabilities.

Which is what should have been made clear to everyone as soon as they realised that the problems were about to arise, not drip fed out through certain people once time had been taken to prepare mailshots and a website.

On the very first morning that this came public someone on here (I think) pointed out that yesterday was a meaningless deadline in terms of any creditors that may have been becoming due with it being the BH weekend.

Anyway what's done has been done, but if the current regime want trust and respect moving forward they really need to sort themselves out.

Quite. The morons in charge of the club have completely lost me now. I honoured the pledge made last year in purchasing a season ticket which I knew I'd hardly use because I wanted to help the club out and help it to succeed. I made the effort to turn up last night for a fixture I've not attended in years and have little interest in. No more - I'm out.

without a doubt.

Think people are being a bit precious here. Yeah they've handled it badly so what's new?

THe main thing is we've done the 500K so the club is safe and that's all that counts really. I'm off to rest me bones.

The deadline to pledge was always 5pm yesterday and the announcement was going to be this morning at 09.00 which was moved back yesterday by two hours. It's now been moved to Monday.

After a few hours to calm down I think you're probably right, and if I came on a bit strong then I apologise to all concerned.

I am still sat in the hospital waiting room waiting for the final prognosis on a family member though.

The thing that riles me abit is the emotional side of last night.

I saw a couple of people visibly upset that it could have been the end, but the club have moved the goalposts again.

Probably a good decision, but they've handled it disgustingly.

Thing is, we would not all get so wound up if we did not all care so much. I hate injustice with a passion. Others hate feeling they have been lied to. Others hate it when they feel they have been taken for granted. What we ALL hate is the thought of no more Bulls. The thought of that can send more than a few of us into orbit for a bit, myself included.

I cant understand why people are getting so upset. We're nearly at 500k which we planned/hoped to be by Friday, but not quite there so the club have given an extra few days in the hope that we can muster up the remaining funds.

My worry is what happens next, are the club going to be relying on fans for the next 500k or is there some other ways of raising the funds?

If it hadn't been an Easter weekend no doubt the Club would have announced the Pledge as originally stated, but as been pointed Banks and Goverment are closed till Tues, earliest HRMC would want their monies around the 15th. Why people are carping on is silly just chill out there will still be a Club next week,and getting extra money to go over the 500K makes sense. Whatever the p r on this its done, last minute hindsight not involed just a reaction to the situation by the Club, and the usual overreaction by some Fans

The puzzling thing is though, whether banks are open or not, they could have, by now been collecting the pledge money had they closed the pledge and all card payments would be credited to the bank account regardless of whether the branch on Market St is open or not.

Extending the deadline means they won't now begin collecting the pledge money until Tuesday morning at the earliest. If it is indeed needed for salaries next weekend, then it's pushing it a bit.

So, was the cash actually needed quite that desparately or not? it's about time someone from that administrative shower started telling the truth!

After going through this myself recently, I know exactly how you feel. With other things on your mind, people tend to shoot straight from the gut without thinking about the subtle nuances or reaction that this may cause. No apology needed.

I just said this on Facebooks
