Quote: vastman "Are you a bit envious EW? You never stop banging on about your alleged involvement in the Glover era! Pot kettle or what.

For a very two short periods of time I was a bit more than your average supporter in terms of the time I gave the club, especially under the Ted regime. I was involved in a very modest way, I don't feel any need to deny this, in fact I'm proud of it, bad me.

However my claim isn't that I had any power or authority or was in anyway important, I usually had to remind MC who I was. But during the second period of my involvement JM used me as a bit of a sounding board and at the same time told me certain confidences, again I don't see why I should deny or be in anyway contrite about this. It may upset the BOD are the root of all evil brigade, but frankly who cares, I know what I know. I'm chuffed he felt secure in telling me certain things, and I will keep his confidences, such as they were (nothing earth shattering by the way).

Now though I don't know anybody such has been the purge, the only recognisable face other than some of the players is Daz at the shop. I know there are others, but he's the only one I vaguely know. And you know what, it's great. I've had enough of helping out, it's quite waring when you see the bitterness on these forums.

I did my small bit, just like Prince Buster, TRB, JINJER and Klav to name but a few. Now I like you can hopefully rejoice in having an owner who only need the fans to turn up and support the team. Happy days.'"


I think your association was obvious even to the point of posting what you were instructed to say on the forum. I guess they saw how useful you could be but why you, I suppose you had the traits they were looking for.

The bottom corner at the bottom of the north stand and the new stand, that wasn't open on Friday, is there plans to have that open for the new season?

Envious, not in the slightest pal.

Alledged, feel free to visit my LinkedIn page.

Yes, very happy to turn up and support the club, just like I have been doing for near on 45 years.

Now now gentlemen let’s have order ,it’s like the House of Commons at times on here ,with everyone trying to get one over the other one at times . Anyway we move on , and my little observations from Fri night , Hand dryers , lighting outside on entrance and exit as it was pretty dark with security using their phone lights to look at tickets . And somewhere to put drinks around bar area. Probably all earmarked on the snagging lists and no deal breakers but would certainly be a welcome addition.

Forgot to mention the Fri night game that gone on YouTube , cracking coverage filmed from the West stand with commentary from TC even though he couldn’t tell the difference between Mago and Ellis it was still very enjoyable and a bit surreal looking at our new stand

Tend to agree Kettycat about the House Of Commons comment, regardless there will always be disagreements, but not prepared to keep quiet, when theres an untruth about me, regardless of whoever they are.

There are a few snagging issues around to be sorted out, which I'm confident they will be.

Were you sat behind us at the match, all things that we highlighted icon_smile.gif
and as Prince B has noted, the Lindsay Hoyle's (the Speakers, the House of Commoners connection!).

The situation with new stand is a result of the client not keeping the architect and M & S on a short leash, any successful build relies on client being proactive stating the needs of the facility. For me the bars in the hospitality suite and the supporters bar below are far too small. So having to increase table service in hospitality would really impact on profit/loss but supporters bar is all about supply speed on the queuing impact. Think toilets could have been bigger and the general layout much better but hey lets all let Matt pick up the tab to get things running smooth.

Im not talking about how sevice went, the staff went above and beyond all went well. Talking about a revenue for club but you obviously you know about that side of things too.

Lol.

1) no I didn't
2) I bought my own drinks thanks
3) why would Minards have any pull. He's just a supporter now.

Think the stress test on Friday was always going to pull up some anomalies in the facilities, vast majority are easy fixes and the buying of a generator should fix the lighting issues once and for all .overall very impressed with the seating , i’m 6’5 and feared the worst but no problems with getting the old knee’s in . And our friends with disabilities have a cracking view of the game now after years of being shoehorned into that shed in the far corner , and their toilets were cavernous.On a sour note , a lad who peddled to the ground had his bike nicked even with the bike being padlocked , if no one is patrolling the bike sheds during the game it’s going to be a free for all for the local low life’s , and absolutely no one is going to use them and they will just take up valuable space around the ground .

Despite the obvious issues which I am sure ME will get sorted I loved sitting in a brand new stand, something I didn't think I would experience in my lifetime.
