Its a good job we have a squad of players who are very happy with each other and the club, and who have been doing their best to get in the play offs this year, but have just fallen short.

I don't ask my neighbours to give me hundreds of pounds a year to watch what i do. If i did they could talk away.

It is, but to some on here that's not important.

| Quote: Theboyem "Did you see the word correct as well or was it selective vision?
A £1.2 million first year loss, three winding up orders and a double figure amount of ccj's in the last 12 months tells everyone something is wrong somewhere. And the other stories that are going round from well connected people are reason to be worried. Its not about points scoring, its not about gloating, its about wanting to know what the hell is going on with OUR club AGAIN.'"
The full sentence was 'if it is correct' which can also be intepreted as it might be a bag of site. Things happen in business that can cause some of the issues to rise to the surface and not all of them can be avoided. That doesnt always mean that the worst is happening. Most of the 'information' has been generated by THIS forum. I have been around long enough to know that 1% of the information on here turns out to be true and the rest........make up what you want seems to work for most.

I take it you'll be wanting a seat on the board for your hundreds of pounds then? Most of us just get to see 27 games and actually enjoy watching some of them!

Some of these have now got very nasty and personal. That is when I would expect a moderator to step in, not add more fuel to the fire that doesnt exist.'"
I'm only supporting his right to an opinion, that's all. As a moderator, he still has the right to express his opinion, as long as it remains just that.

I think you and I know it has been more than just that.

Most of the things haven't even appeared on this forum trust me and hopefully never will. It all feels very late 2010/early 2011 at the minute and we all know how that ended. Things are tough right now and the close season is the hardest time for a club. I'll leave it with i hope AG is right and we are through the worst of it. Time will tell if he is right.

Well you're lucky. Some of us get to see a lot less (but still enjoy it)

I think he's a top bloke, so maybe I read his posts differently to you. I don't doubt his love for the club, though. It's always different when it's words on a message board or face to face.

I agree, but "t'was ever thus".
It's a shame the posters I used to enjoy have by and large left, but it's only a forum after all. I'm still free to ignore it, which I do most of the time now.

Like it or not, this is not "OUR" club as the fans voted with their closed wallets when Ted asked for the bailout ahead of going into Administration. The club is a PRIVATE company who we can choose to buy tickets & merchandise from or not.
I'm sure it's not slipped anyone's attention that the whole country has been facing financial difficulties over the last few years, so is it really that surprising that one of the lesser teams (let's face it - that's what we have been in recent years) in the top flight of what is (at best) the fourth most popular sport in the country has had some financial difficulties of its own over the same period?
Of course we'd all like to know the TRUE details about the day-to-day business at Belle Vue, but none of us (except Daddycool ) actually have the RIGHT to know these things.
If anyone feels they can run the club better, then I'm sure AG would be happy to listen to their offer for his shares if they have the cash to back up their aspirations. If they don't then the best thing to do is keep buying the tickets & merchandise rather than constantly looking for the "bad news" and spinning it further out of proportion on the internet.
