Our majority shareholder getting a driving ban for various offences, including speeding, and then using his position as Ward councillor to claim, “there is no appetite at all among locals for a speed limit reduction along Humberston Avenue”.
Instead of worrying about road safety, NE Lincs Council should “focus more on things like the grass verges”.

Summoning fans to "meetings" where they bring print outs of things they said on a fans forum and bully them into an apology or worse, threatening legal action against the forums to get their own way. I can't think of another club where this has happened.

This is genuinely the most depressing, upsetting, and miserable thread I've read I think. Some stand out for me.
1. THAT Fans' forum! The whole "you lose trust, Matt" exchange plus the JF sycophants in the audience. I think that sticks out as a low point as far as PR is concerned.
2. Closely following that is just the run-up to the sale, Day's defense of May, just conducting sale negotiations in public summed it all up.
3. The Holloway era. The terrible, shocking, unforgivable recruitment, the darts saga. I'm getting angry just writing it out.
4. In terms of football that day at Halifax away stands out for me. Fans chanting "Hursty is a w****r, the whole sage surrounded the alleged racist abuse at Toto after FT. Yes, we had some bad footballing days, Burton, Chasetown, Braintree, Hartlepool, Oldham but in terms of the overall toxicity that stands out for me.
We are a bit of a basketcase it has to be said. No wonder nobody wants to sign for us!
I'm looking at the thread rather differently...this is good therapy for us all. We need to get over JF's regime somehow. (PTSD) There's a book waiting to be written, perhaps entitled 'The Tinpot Tyrant's Tantrums' . Fun reading for fans of other clubs... |

If anyone gets summoned again, they can print this thread, pop it in his lap and say ‘I rest my case, meeting over.’ |

I think my dad has told the story on here himself but... When Fenty got banned from driving (2005ish?) he still used to walk around the stands before a match rather than across the pitch. The game after his driving ban he was walking down the front of the Pontoon. He was walking towards my dad. My dad held his hand out to Fenty like he was going to shake his hand and said “hello, Mr Fenty”. When Fenty extended his hand out to shake my dads hand my dad just placed a concealed taxi business card into his hand and said something along the lines of “I thought you might need this”. Still the funniest thing I’ve ever witnessed my dad do. |

THAT day at Burton.
Firstly the performance of the team on the pitch. I know we would have gone down even if we'd won but the majority of the players played like they couldn't give a toss.
Then the actions of our so-called "fans" after the game. I was certainly embarrassed to be a Town fan that day.
Also shoutouts for Chasetown and the 5-0 at Braintree. Thankfully I wasn't at Braintree that night as that was the day I had my main brain tumour op. I thought I was still under the anesthetic when I heard the score the next morning.

The name is definitely Slavic in origin. But her dad/grandad might have stayed after the war.
I once heard that JF had complained that his wife took a week to hoover the lounge. So, either he has a massive lounge or she is a Slovak.  |

He summoned me once but I never turned up, he then sent me an email after my non attendance and said he would have to take it further. This was in 2017 and I still haven't heard anything |

When John tried that trick he gave a paper cut to a man from Nestlé. |
