42910_1337432023.jpg [i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

| Well you're telling half a truth there aren't you? Andy started the thread about the Banter page sponsoring 'a player' and then provided a list which he had been sent by Amanda LeeAs promised here are the details of the 2015 player sponsorship package and details of which players we have left.
Players remaining
A few people then asked for Jamie Acton to which Andy replied"If we have a consensus I'm sure the lovely Amanda Lee will put our name on Jamie Acton as the official 2015 Leyther Facebook Banter Page Player. I will deal with the invoice and payment and we can sort collections of cash out etc[/i"
Even Amanda Lee replied saying [i"Thanks for your amazing support everyone. Consider it done. I will reserve Jamie for you for now"[/i
(I've posted all that for those who don't use FB)
I totally agree that existing sponsors should be asked first but that's Amanda's fault for sending out that particular list. Everyone makes mistakes but if they weren't yet on the open market why didn't you, DB or Amanda not say so right at the beginning of the thread, explaining that they hadn't yet been offered to existing sponsors?
Instead, DB once again jumps in to try and humiliate Andy by berating him like a naughty school kid and he obviously wasn't aware of the rules himself as he then offered to 'buy' Jamie for the Banter Page whilst you took someone else. He then had the cheek to say this to one of the fans "[iI am just the person currently burdened with its financial responsibility as others have been before me and will be after me and the level I have been prepared to be burdened with this year is the reason we are where we are which I think deserves a little more respect than your post delivers." [/i
Now I don't know who you think 'my leader' is (I presume you think it's Andy) but let me assure you I'm nobody's 'yes man', I just know what's right and what's wrong, and I know that some of the stuff I've been reading over the last month or so leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.
Now I'm going to split this thread so as not to disrail the sponsorship one.

There were pledges from fans and facebook users of £1100 plus in place before the thread was derailed and subsequently deleted.
Nothing to be gained by going over old ground, onwards and upwards now I say.

It was an edited version of about 3 million posts, simplified that's what happened is it not?

..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself: |
|
| I've left the banter page group, it was just too cluttered and too much being said about the same thing in different threads and my timeline was awash with tittle tattle.
That said I'm sorry the player sponsorship thing didn't work out if people were willing to back it. I can't wait for the new season, its been a good decade since I was this excited about the future of the club.
