I saw a mini bus once on the A66. It was called the "Happy Clappers Christian Revival"

Didn't realise they were Town fans  



Can only be a good thing, reckon we could do with some Divine intervention.

As others have said the main thing holding the club back are the director loans. They have stopped people taking over previously. Nobody with money wants to work with the current administration.

The honorouble thing to do would be to free the club from the debt.


It's all the rage - surrounding yourself with 'yes' men with no clout - albeit Donald Trump is running through 'yes' men far quicker than JF.

I never get this, how can you be a fish merchant and then all of a sudden turn your hand to running a football club, says it all really,  

Have we still got a chief executive?, Ian Fleming is it? Maybe instead of writing spy novels he should just re-publish his biography - The Invisible Man! What does he do for his weekly wage I wonder? In my day I think he would have been called The Club Secretary.

I saw a sign over the motorway saying 'Hurst Out' whilst we were in the middle of the playoffs. Hurst is now managing at the top end of league one with a load of ex town players who apparently were never any good for us.

I remember being called a 'happy clapper' loads during Hursts reign for wanting to get behind him and the players.

Define 'a load'. Is it any more than 4? That includes a GK he never played at Town, and Rodman who he shipped out.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I'd say 4 outfield players is quite a lot....and he didn't ship him out, Rodman rejected our offer.

I'd like to see the Trust join forces with Mike Parker (and other individuals) and look for a way to dilute Fenty's holdings and vote him off the board.


I'd heard from someone that knew Mike Parker that said he was drunk off with the trust for giving those shares to JF.

I spoke to someone who knows MP very well and 'pi$$ed off' is somewhat of an understatement. At the time, I couldn't believe how gullible the fans had been.

Think it is a case of Stockholm Syndrome.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

forza ivano

Forza called it about right back in May.  Jusy add in a long-term injuries to key players, and selling a striker:

"Just to play devils advocate even further. Madeley mariner is factually correct with his view that Kelly's projection is ever downward. It is a fact that the fat Scottish Kent ,who, whatever his failings is a v successful manager , has ridded himself of rose asap on 2 occasions, whilst dembele has never been considered good enough by any pro team to be offered a contract. We have a gk who we all know is good conference at best, plus 2 players in their mid 30s and a 30 year old who has hardly played a game in 18 months. Add to that berrett, summerfield and yusuf who are mid table performers at best, and IMHO we will do well to get even close to the play offs. Oh, I forgot, and we haven't got a goalscorer. At least we are not looking forward to Braintree and Maidenhead away, but it don't look brilliant.".
