Simply I cannot physically get there:
transport
when I finish work

There will be a report in the MEN regarding a supporters meeting according to the clubs FB page.

So the MEN says it might be on Monday.
Has anyone heard anything concrete on this? I've not had a rep from the email I sent. Not even a recognition of receipt.
Typically if it is on Monday I can't go as I'm working Arghhhhhhhh!

It may be a good idea if those attending write down their questions to ensure they get asked and the meeting doesn't 'wander off'.
I would prefer it if it wasn't stopped for belly laughs or rounds of applause or hero-worship or devil incarnate
deviations but the meeting ends with me feeling a bit more optimistic.
Lots to cover it would seem - perhaps Forever Reds board members can vet questions going into the meeting to ensure all points are covered and the questions are asked in some kind of order.
May be the only chance we get - make the most of it.

SCR-SeaDiver - good points

The thing I'd say is that we need to understand just what it is reasonable to know as customers - if Tesco's were in this position, then just because you buy your bread from them doesn't give you the right to know their commercial secrets.

Clearly there's lots of stuff that I'd love to know out of interest:

What is the total debt?
Who is owed money?
Are any of those owed money willing to forgo repayment?
Over what term are the debts due to be repaid?

Now I suspect all those questions would be deemed commercial in confidence so my questions are:

1: If a sizeable portion of our income for the foreseeable future is destined to be servicing debts then how much will be available to improve the team?

2: If the new investment is realised, is it a genuine takeover, i.e. the current owners are out and then are we looking at a complete replacement of the existing board?

3: Is the talk of involvement of a supporters trust realistic, how do the new owners envisage such a thing working?

4: Is there a plan B? What if all this fails, what then?

They're asking for questions to be submitted... Quote: reds.co.uk "Salford City Reds will hold an update meeting to discuss the current situation at the Club.

The meeting is open to all, tickets are not required. Entry is on a first-come, first-served basis. Admission cannot be guaranteed. The first part of the evening will take the form of answers to pre-submitted questions before the floor will be opened up to further discussion.

From the Church website

"The church is blessed with a good organ, a small choir, and a group of bell ringers who ring the church’s 8 bells."

Can't beat a good organ .....

Has this location be chosen as it's a good place for us to say our prayers ?

If it was Tesco I reckon they would have had a Plan B while waiting for ever and a day for the council to give an answer which could only go one of 2 ways,and prepare for the worst case scenario.

I hope Mr. Randy Watson is supporting.

Depending on which parts of our support turn up on Monday, there could be a lot more than 8 bells there...



Tesco are well known for treating their employees like sh**e. They were all over the workfare scheme like a rash.

Fuckingings!!!

See, Fungus doesn't like Tesco either.
