I've no idea what you're talking about. I've only just got in from the meeting and I know another mod is still in the pub.

Hi folks, there was a post by Black Cats summarising the meeting, about 80-90 reads and then it disappeared. I too thought it was strange as it merely put across a feeling of bewilderment.

Yes I saw the post,
black cat said the chairman's speech went on about the journey to Barton (he should try the journeyaway from barton after the game!!! Lol) which we've heard all before.

I dont think it was very critical and then the post was gone from the site. If were being censored with our views maybe we are being taken over by the KGB!

So what was said. Just how deep is the hole?

We need 'approx' 600k by the start of the season to keep the club afloat while we hold out for investors that seemingly don't exist.

Red Willow's post on the other thread sums it up. Wilky struck me as incredibly naïve as if this was all down to the recession and he's made a succession of right calls throughout. Much of the meeting was eaten up by Wilky giving a potted history of how we ended up at Barton which we all already know.

I didn't see Black Cat's post but he was sat close enough to me that I could see his kite, and from the impression on it, he took the right message from the meeting. We're doomed. Other points of note - any demotion from Super League means it would be impossible for us to play at Barton and Wilky can't guarantee we will start the 2013 season. It became obviously clear throughout that leaving The Willows under the circumstances we did signalled the final nail in this club's coffin.

Just got back. No idea what happened to that post.

Sorry! I deleted it, purposely, as sometimes I cannot tolerate having to respond to recent regular posters on The Turkey and those who continue to criticise anyone who actually berates the club.

I said in a previous post on another thread exactly what would happen tonight, I was proved right. There is no censorship on here and quite rightly so, Iain, Gaz, Paul and loyalfan have done a fantastic job on here in allowing that and as far as I can tell always will do!

In short I wrote what Walshy has written.

I'm at the end of my tether with some of the posters on here in recent weeks who continue to advocate the current incumbents so deleted my post and decided to play with my rattle elsewhere!

Those who know me hopefully respect that decision. I'm happy to spend my time with all those who have shared the up's and downs of the Salford roller-coaster with me, 99% of those share the same ethos too! The Scarlet Turkey (rlfans) and Forever Reds is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in and I've met some fantastic people who I hope to keep in touch with forever and I thank all those involved!

I come in peace and with a very good knowledge of our once great club, a very good insight, very good connections and ultimately the truth! Some people on here don't like the truth! I keep a lot to myself as loose lips sinks ships but those who were there tonight got the message loud and clear I hope!

Love ya's g'nite!

So what of the investors he mentioned that had just appeared mentioned in the last official club statement?

Was at work last night was anything mentioned reguarding this so called takeover

We're talking to two possible investors. One's a Salford fan who works for Securitas, the other is being negotiated through the RFL (as a third party, not them investing.) If I've followed everything properly we don't actually know exactly who that is. But the signs say that the RFL are on board at least.

I believe this to be the perfect opportunity for you to show your maturity and apologise for the insinuations you have made.

To be fair I've thought posts have been deleted before. He hardly needs to apologize for his above statement IMO.

There isn't an emoticon representing a WUM, so you'll have to live with this

Nice try though Ian.

Two things that stood out for me are Wilky taking full responsibility for where we are ("IT'S NOT HIS FAULT!"icon_wink.gif and it seems that we've been completely shafted by Sale moving in. Lost the club shop after paying for it to be fitted out, Sale being able to negotiate terms when we were just told what we were getting... Shafted by Sale, shafted by the council.
