Alfreton

Quoted from forza ivano

hope you've got a good lawyer.


btw all this hate towards the mullins does seem a little mean spirited/small minded. he' was lucky to win his fortune and its entirely down to himas to how he spends his money. as far as i can tell he was a significant help in Operation Promotion and for that i thank him. i wonder if we would all be whiter than white (excuse the pun) if we found ourselves in similar circumstances? just a thought.......

In short I agree with you, 20k  was a great contribution but, as far as Operation Promotion went, did he make a significant contribution.... In my opinion, nah. The success of the campaign was down to the fans, lead my the Mariners Trust Board. Was he there during the long hours managing the campaign, creating all the things for fans to pledge for? Was he buggery.

His time and effort has been nothing compared to what other recent directors have in recent years. Yes 'he put his money where his mouth is' but so have other Directors, except they never shouted about it or bragged. Do I begrudge him his luck? No, I don't do the lottery so can't complain that I haven't won.

I have no strong feelings either way about the Mullen? family.
It should be noted however that he stuck his head above the parapet before the start of Operation Promotion to pledge his wedge. Had it not been such a success (we had doubts initially about how much it could raise) we could' ve been thanking them for half the total raised. They also paid a lot of money for auctioned items. Above all perhaps their contribution raised us above the psychologically significant 100K point.
He is no longer involved at GTFC.  For me that is as far as it goes.

Quoted from psgmariner

Fleetwood, Crawley, FGR all prove that if you use the money wisely you can make it in to the football league. Wouldn't be surprised if AFC Flyde join them next year.

If Alfreton get in to the football league he may see a return on his investment and will have had a lot of fun along the way. If I was a millionaire lottery winner I'd be tempted to have a go!

Absolutely! It'll be an adventure for him I'm sure - but it'll be a tough division to get out of. There's a surprising amount of money down there. Salford aren't short of a bob or two, and Harrogate are strongly funded (and about to go full time). Kiddy, Stockport and Darlington will be challenging for promotion too.
