Someone said on one of these threads today that the Checkatrade and Stevenage issues were not big deals.
They were.

The Club managed to find the only responses on both counts.  On the Checkatrade they voted for it twice and wrongly criticised the fans for bullying other fans not to attend these games.  

On Stevenage they were damned by the silence of their support.  They have also wrongly implied that our fans caused the Stevenage security response with prior bad behaviour at away games.

The Board said nothing last night to correct these damaging slights of loyal fans.  

Fenty and Slade want everyone to pull together.  Their comments before and last night do not match up to these aims.

So just to sum up last night, Russ Slade is a tactical genius and knows how to use a computer, the club see no problem with the events at Stevanage as they have never been in touch directly with them, and if we are offered a bag of cash although we don't like the format we will take part in the Chekatrade and maybe have a chat with the grand leader of the EFL sometime in the future but will not inform the fans of the result of said conversation. If I have any of this wrong please feel free to put me write.

No computers or social media in those days to magnify opinions


No computers to pick teams.

Quoted from Ipswin
Well now the dust has (almost) settled what conclusions can be drawn from last night's debacle

1 Slade manged to while away 25 minutes with stats to show what a dynamic modern forward looking manager he is and to illustrate how much running Vernon does (shame he didn't have figures for what percentage of his running was actually with or for the ball)

2 Day seems a nice bloke, cuddly like your Grandad and totally unsuited to taking Fenty's place in any nitty gritty negotiations with NELC, potential 'enablers',Extreme or anyone else.

3 The accountant fella Marley, what a pretentious, patronising tw@t. No such thing as a quick chat with him, take your pjamas and cocoa. Wobbled on and on trying to illustrate what a great bloke he is then showed his real self and lost it when interrupted. Interesting to know an American investor had showed a serious interest in the club. Shame the board decided not to sell as the buyers wanted total control and 100% of the shares. As far as I know nobody actually asked the shareholders what they thought (I didn't get a letter anyway) Seems to me the major shareholder probably made that decision  on his own as lets face it the other board members own sod all shares to speak of.

4 Was not impressed when Fenty's family and imported supporters on the front row kicked off at Matt Dean, Fenty had already had a go and when Slade joined in saying it had affected the players too (good excuse for not scoring goals Russ) I wish Matt Dean had just walked out Credit to him for his composure

5 Fenty himself. As another poster pointed out last night he looked like a tribute to the late Rodney Bewes. He was a little less forceful than Bob Ferris and his plea at the end had me reaching for my hankie. I also took exception to his inference that the security at Stevenage had been brought about by the behaviour of some Town away fans, yet another example of 'it's someone else's fault' A bit like how tatty the ground was when he came in (how that impacts on the current state of the bogs I didn't quite get) and how he can't attract new board members because the social media (us) are so cruel. Didn't tell us why Bignot was sacked, just went on about what a great bloke Hurst was and how reliable Russ is - do we take it Bignot failed in that area?

6 All in all an entertaining two and a half hours but not very enlightening

Incidentally I have just worked out (I must be thick for it to have taken so long) 'you're vile sish mates' should of course have read 'your vile fish(y) mates'. I can forgive him the 'sish' error as after all as we are often reminded he is lysdexic but 'vile' is a bit strong. Also disappointed that Pete and I who contacted Fenty by phone and PM respectively are now barred from ever contacting him again - I will lie awake worrying about that.


Don't know who it was but it wasn't a member of the family.

Thought this was an anonymous site? Why does it matter if I am a member of the family or not?
