So, we were given another tantalising glimpse of the bailiffs doing their thing in the bowels of the Arkells Stand in last night's edition but the programme didn't get around to showing the whole piece and we're no nearer knowing what it's all about.  These programmes usually take a long time to come to air, so it probably relates to events from many months ago (Jed's era?). 

Someone out there must know what it was all about.  Maybe Sam Morshead could put his deerstalker on and find out?  We know the Club has a history of leaving it late in the day to pay their bills (eg tax, rent, kit supplier, etc) but it would be good to know if the bad publicity that will eventually come our way is going to be of the major or minor variety.  Hopefully, when it eventually airs, it'll be a damp squib.

The bailiffs have repossessed our damp squib? The bastards! Can we have a whip round to get another dry squib and start moistening it in time for the next home game?

The damp squib will be in the physios bag next to the "magic sponge".

Someone on twitter yesterday said the academy's minibus was repossessed not so long back so maybe that.
Or maybe was the bailiffs who took the TE bar  :hmmm:

Yeah....it was left over from when the Lions used to hold their Nov 5th Firework display at the CG, before migrating to the Polo Ground.

I always used to go, but somehow the show never matched the anticipation....the fiery letter display on the Stratton Bank, always making good use of our stock of damp squibs.

It'll be something on nothing but the delightful football fans who don't like Swindon Town will run with it.

Wrong address for Jed looking for his court fine

So, will the mystery be uncovered in tonight's programme?

Very possibly, cant find the definitive date, but the series was commissioned in early July, which would suggest it was when the court case was in full swing.

An
Anyone know if he has declared himself bankrupt yet ?

I read a couple of comments from Bristol Rovers fans worried that McCrory/Agombar were sniffing around the Memorial Ground. So perhaps he might make a quick buck from them?

Probably waiting until after 2015, in case he decides to run for parliament.

Seriously. Oh dear, talk about a kick in the balls when they're down.

But if it has to happen to anybody.....

So were we on it?

Nope.

The town are on next weeks show they showed a trailer at the end of this weeks program

Jeds office?

It just said the bailiffs get the run around at a famous football club, and it showed some bint running around the corridors of the arkells stand with a bit of paper in her hand . The mystery will be revealed next week but i would guess Jed has to be something to do with it

Thank God it was only a bit of paper in her hand.

If Austin had still been here it could have been far more embarrassing!

Or Pritchard

(allegedly, but a different kind of allegedly)

It was the debt from 1959 !!!

Non oayment for chelsea seats apparently

Watching it now. I hate seeing the club in this much of a negative light on TV. Luckily it's Channel 5 so there's probably only 4 people watching it + all the Town fans that know about it.

Was that the additional ones that Jed arranged to be put where the gaps previously were?  It sounds like it.

They haven't yet explained clearly what the debt was in respect of or how it came about.  At least the unnamed club official is coming out of reasonably well.

So we paid £9k then the rest when Power took over I assume. Look forward to seeing the club's statement now.

Pah! Let a couple of Bristol City and Oxford fans get excited over it and then move on.

This will be forgotten pretty quickly.

Football club has a debt. Pays it off.

The only shock is the second part.

Yep

No club statement then.

Back to our traditions...there'll be one tomorrow.

As with the club's current either non communication policy or slow communication policy probably expect the statement next season
