So will we be in the new trawler shaped stadium by the start of next season and have a new state of the art training facility at Barnoldby before pre season?

Come on you three, sort it!

It’s just such a shame we can’t have fans in at the minute. The atmosphere would be cracking.

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God
I will be a lot more optimistic with these in charge if we was to get relegated.

With Fenty, would we of ever returned? i honestly don't think so.

But these 3 have future plans, and i'm sure if we go down, we will be backed with a good manager and a good board to come back


I think we would have gone under next season if relegated and Fenty still here. I think season ticket sales would be pathetic and I certainly wouldn’t be setting foot in BP.

However, if the new guys can give us some sort of optimism we could see bumper crowds back home and away. Including me.

But we also need to accept that that league is a very tough one to get out of.

Wrexham seem to have had footballing fortune and my Welsh mate has high hopes for next year as well.

So I’m not expecting miracles. Just progress !!


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'

I take it you are joking?!! It’s great we’ll be steered in another direction by these guys, but we are currently in the most dire relegation trouble that I can ever remember.

This is from 'About the team' at SimplyBusiness where Stockwood is currently Vice Chair.

Quoted Text
Responsible for developing Simply Business, Jason sets the challenge for defying the insurance company stereotype. From technology and data science to customer experience and people engagement, Jason has spearheaded our mission to create something better.

Jason joined Simply Business from global dating website match.com, where he was International Managing Director. He’s also spent time as Managing Director at Travelocity Business, and held roles at Trailfinders, lastminute.com, Skyscanner and The Drinkaware Trust.

In 2016, Jason won overall Best Leader at the Sunday Times Best Companies to Work For awards, completing our Best Companies hat-trick. We’d already picked up the Best Company to Work For award, two years running.

create something better.


That's enough for me, for now.

The ink isn't dried on the documents yet.  Yes, we all want to see the club moving forward but give them chance to actually get in the door before sharing their business plan for the next five years.

Stockwood and his friends are legitimate and successful business people.  They've got their excrement together and know what they're doing.  They're not foolish enough to come in with silly promises to whip up an instant frenzy.

We've 15 odd years of absolute shite from Fenty and his cronies, during which the only remote hint at a plan was Day stupidly saying we would be in the Championship in however many years, it must be mathematically impossible to achieve that now.   If we can wait 15 years for nothing from the outgoing regime, let's at least give the new one more than 15 minutes.

Quoted from Swansea_Mariner
The most important question I want answering is:

What's their fishy username gonna be so I can look out for them pointing out where we need to get our facts right.  


I loved his username; so passive aggressive and typically Fenty.

And there's no such thing as a wrong fact. If it's wrong, it can't be a fact.

At least we'll be run by people who use their real names and real faces on social media.

Stop losing you patience with me Diehard. I asked a question on a post from Jarmo as I was under the impression from his post that he knew something nobody else did. His posting was similar to that of yesterdays post about the take over happening in the next few days.

I have NEVER questioned the resources or business acumen of the consortium members, so why are you making out I did. Find one post where I have praised Fenty, so why imply I am a Fenty sympathiser.

You quote :- Responsible for developing Simply Business, Jason sets the challenge for defying the insurance company stereotype. From technology and data science to customer experience and people engagement, Jason has spearheaded our mission to create something better..

Is 'something better' for Simply Business, for another joint enterprise they have, for their GT project or something else.

Jarmo said But these 3 have future plans
, so my simple question is What are the plans?
It's a very fair question to ask given the statement from Jarmo. So you ask Jarmo the same question, he's the one making the statements.
