They are not very benign when they have first dibs on any transfer money coming in.

If he had an ounce of decency he would write £200k off the loans anyway in respect of the shares gifted to him by the trust.

Can't someone track him down and ask him point blank to explain his position on those shares?


I think we know his position

I fear you are correct, but I still find it massively disappointing that he would pocket the cash in these circumstances. It's not as if he needs the money.

You'd buy that first one once and never bother again...unless you're weird.

Haha yeah, I only ever did it once. Quite the culinary achievement in that it somehow tasted worse than it looks.

This season’s attendances aren’t just crazily high compared to the fenty years. Have a look at some of our attendances pre 2004 and it’s staggering who many we are getting. We were playing much bigger teams with much bigger away followings as well.

Random example from twitter

Everyone always says that our crowds were crap in the late 80s and early 90s but if you look at everyone else’s attendances around that time they’re quite comparable  , we was often getting bigger gates than Bradford , Hull , Barnsley , Huddersfield and Preston ect who back then were seen as similar size clubs to us .
The difference is they invested in decent stadiums and in their teams

I think you will find he does. Allegedly HMRC

Just under £1.4m to his creditors according to the document on Companies House. The next report will hopefully state just how much of that was to HMRC.

Even so, I'd like someone to force him to say it, just so it's out there in black and white (pardon the pun). Don't think he's had to face up to half the humiliation he deserves for what he did to this proud club.

I'd also like someone to ask Ian Holloway directly whether he knew about Alex May from the start. Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not aware of any evidence that he was ever asked this.

Anyhow, don't want to deflect from the original topic of this thread.

There was a video posted a few weeks back that saw us scrape 4,000 at home to Swindon in what is now the Championship (we won 2-1 I think). Mendonca was in the team. We got relegated that season but, even so, it was on the back of some great seasons under Buckley. Just goes to show - it doesn't take much (or long) for crowds to disappear again.

Getting them through the turnstiles is only half the job. Keeping them is the other half. But it's going really well at the moment!

I can remember going to a 2nd tier midweek game v Port Vale that we won 4-1 about 94ish. Attendance was just over 3400.

One of my mates from down south sent me that. Word is spreading fast.


A friend in Harrogate tagged me in it and then someone down here in the south west.
