i wish that parish councils had more powers but they can't even stop traffic lights at Toll Bar, never mind influencing planning decisions.

To support Dav having being at the heart of the County Council for 13 years I hate to shatter your illusion, Parish Council are held in what I will kindly call bemusement.Please tell me what Parish Council has responsibility for street lighting,it is the remit of either County Councils or District Councils in the case of unitary authorities,most of which is now outsourced in Lincolnshire to Kier. but I am sure you know better.


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.

Any chance of you parish council guys taking your p1ssing contest to the non footy thread ?

Ta.

It's depressing enough with all the negativity about anyway. Without reading Town fans arguing amongst themselves.
JF must be loving it !!!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Well it seems like the Trust have had a relatively easy ride in this thread which despite our disagreements has been conducted without resorting to abuse.
Sadly it has come to my notice today that on Saturday that a female member of the Trust board was subject to some pretty vile verbal abuse that has affected her to the point that she is considering her position.
Apathy is one thing. Verbal abuse of that magnitude is another. Perhaps people will end up getting the Trust some of them deserve.


I hope these people can be identified Ian? People abusing others who are voluntarily trying to make the match going experience and all things GTFC better against remarkable odds deserve full backing not abuse.

Friskney and Dav you seem intelligent people judging by your posts and how you construct them. What I don't understand is why you don't bother to look into the Trust constitution properly and understand it. I can't see how you fail to understand the fact that there aren't contested elections to the Trust board because no sodomist seems that bothered about standing.

Given your skills and experience of working with councils why don't you stand for election at the next opportunity? It'd be better for everyone if you were inside the tent pissing out than standing on the outside pissing in.

There's been decisions by the Trust that I fundamentally disagree with (principally the vote to give JF those shares) but I don't have any beef with the way it has conducted its business. It has to comply with the regulations applicable to public interest companies.


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.

Given the number of people on here who state their objections to the Parker shares issue I'm becoming increasingly amazed that there was such a high percentage for giving the shares up in the actual vote. Can Vladimir Putin account for his actions at that time?


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Thanks Kingston spent 10 years on parish council I was never voted for at anytime.It was always sub quorate and I was co-opted on my dint of my position in village.

As I live considerable distance from GY I couldn't attend all the meetings,besides as stated previously I am a committed anarchist and have an aversion to hierarchical orginisations.

Not aware there is any vacancy anyway and would not wish to step on anybody toes
