Obviously we haven't had the 'official' write up yet, but I'm very happy all the noises seem to be positive coming out of the meeting.

Perhaps we can stop jumping to conclusions after some random person posts unsubstantiated bollocks again? Please?

(I understand the 80% bollocks bit in the forum name, but there's been closer to 99% of it over the past week...)

Maybe, sometimes, something that looks/sounds like a duck isn't a duck, and if you're not an Ornithologist you should leave well alone.

Why are we building a new training facility? What are we building and who will own it?

Considering they had the questions in advance, there shouldn't really have been anything unanswered? Or did it just run over?

They are not building a new facility just using the recently foootball foundation funded beaversbrook facility at Calne

I would imagine it will be a lot cheaper than Liddington and PGL dont really want STFC there anyway.

It wasn't all unsubstantiated bollocks though was it? He named both the new investors a while before us or the media had even heard of them. He clearly has an inside track on some significant information that the rest of us don't.

Whether all his other points are unsubstantiated bollocks tacked onto the little he did know remains to be seen. Hopefully the positive sounds coming out of the meeting are an indication they are.

I think more regular meetings with the fans so they remain open to scrutiny is a very positive step anyway in regaining our trust. If there's one positive thing that comes out of this it might be greater communication in future between board and fans.

(edited having actually read other thread)

Some people are easily pleased...like Ann Alder.

Obviously, we need to wait for the full written transcript, but there's nothing here, which for me alleviates rather than confirms what has been said by various people about the what is happening.

PS the "nothing here" bit should be applied to the account of last nights meting on the other thread.

Bored at work so curious to see what our neighbours were thinking about our play-off qualification (for the record since PDC left, they seem to have forgotten about us, so mutual feelings I guess).

Anyway, I found this thread which seems eerily familiar

Thanks for that. I am more uncomfortable now than I was before I read it TBH.

The tone of that piece isn't great... seems like some points were avoided, and a written response can be carefully planned to avoid any pressing or immediate pressure/scrutiny.

Wait so there's a Fredi on our forums and a Fred on theirs doing a similar thing?

This report doesn't sit well with me at all.

Quote
Jed showed a legal letter from himself indicating that he had provided £1.2m of funding to the club in the form of a loan at 0% interest, repayable by end of 2015

So he hasn't invested, he's lent the money as a loan...hmmm.

But they were never going to provide detail and possibly rightly so as ultimately its a private business.

It all seems a bit meh to be honest...
