FAO 'the club'

Come on here and tell all who asked for a thread to be taken off and why.

Money's obviously on Fenty as he posts on here from time to time but could be any of them.

The clubs attitude towards The Fishy is terrible, I seem to remember Mrs Doyle posting once about what they said to her when she told them that she was a fishy poster

Maybe the club could work with The Fishy and create a partnership which could be used to move the club forward, this would be a start by not having Fenty posting on here and being argumentative towards fans

This forum is supposed to be somewhere fans can comment and discuss things concerning the football club - be it positive,negative,neutral etc etc. However, it's been apparent for a long time anything that doesn't tow the Party line isn't welcomed. Which in itself is a shame as it doesn't promote debate, balanced - not everyone see's things the same way. We're individuals. Difference of opinion is good - it can sometimes lead to an interesting thread,providing reasoned argument is used and not insults etc. Some on here provide that.

The power, or powers that be, should recognise that said difference of opinion is needed, and should be welcomed. It can be useful at times.

Excellent post. As I get bored of saying, the powers that be need to have a little think about what the loyal GTFC fans spend, both home and away, before they start trying to gag us.

By the way, really good article/interview with Burnsy in tonight's Telewag

Exactly things concerning the football club. So why should we attack and threaten and call someone who has supported town and sat next to us for over 20 years based on e newspaper report as to his business activities   there are probably town supporters sat with us who have done a lot worse and we don't delve into their activities and then open a thread on them. By the way the opening post states that the club asked us not forced us not to carry the previous thread on

When was he threatened ??  By who ? And what were they threatening ??

There was at least one post on the original thread where someone said they would physically assault Newman if they saw him at a Town game. It received plenty of green ticks but now almost everyone is saying they didn't see.

It is not ok to threaten someone in that manner. It's not good enough to say "free speech" or "it's just because we care" or "just letting off steam" which i believe is the standard catch-all excuse for saying totally unacceptable stuff on the Fishy. Newman is reasonably well known and recognisable and I believe he attends many matches despite living in Scotland so if he was the one who complained I wouldn't blame him.

Just to clarify, as mine was the post you've quoted - I haven't done any of the things you've mentioned.

Not repeating the threat. Think it's been removed now but was in the original post
