New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

It's a good way to help deliver the change you want?

If you can tell me what change the Trust is driving and what value I am seeing from my £120 a year contribution then I am open to listen, just don't bring up the purchase of the ground unless you are turning up with somebody from the Eady trust who facilitated it..

[Berniman]

Don't get me wrong, it could be a good move but its totally unrealistic prospect at the moment and it doesn't always work.

Let me dig out that Einstien quote..

I don't think even the most ardent of Trust or club supporters can say it is working at the moment, so why not try something that might not work over something that is terminally broke?

I really don’t understand the hype around the Wrexham match.

I’m not going, I’ve not been for a couple of months because I’ve had enough of everything, you read on here and social media that many are the same. Yet everyone seems to want to see us play Wrexham? 

I am going on boxing day because it's boxing day, would have gone if we were playing Sutton.  Couldn't give a shit that we happen to be playing FC Hollywood

[Berniman]

I didn't say that, but anyone outside of this circle of chancers would be an improvement at the moment.

Its like voting Labour in the hope they won't end up being as big of cunts as tories. Like they're politicians and they probably will end up being cunts as well, but you probably want to take your chances with anyone but the current mob.

Good analogy..

Do we know if the £8m includes the Morris/Brand pay off, or is that still to come in the following years accounts?

Surely it can't be because it was only the previous 30 years that we have been mismanaged, not now, any mismanagement now is down to a genuine mistake, everyone makes them guv, they are only human..

Either way, the freeloaders can pick up the bill for that..

Swindon attendances are an oddity really. Our highest league finish in my time was 89/90. I've just had a look at the attendances and we only got over 10k at home when there was massive away support - Wolves, Oxford, Portsmouth, Sheffield Utd & Newcastle. Even if we got a team to those heady heights again, what level of support could we get?

Crowd's weren't great overall in the 80's, they only started picking up after the World Cup in Italy in 1990. Also, our last six home matches that season were made all ticket (i think by the police although not sure), so probably affected the attendances for those a bit.

Cant see Morris and Brand being on mega money? 200k a year tops surely?

Then again, knowing this lot and some of the decisions they have made

Just wondering what the cost is for an away game staying overnight in a hotel £2000 maybe🤔

Someone posted a picture in here from Kings Lynn & they paid out something like £4.5k for their game away at Southport, so can’t imagine ours would be less (unless we are making the players take their own packed lunch again)

I can’t believe that Morris was getting paid about half of what Jack Payne was paid here.
I’m sure it was closer to £5k to £10k for the two of them, which based on a 3 year deal is a significant amount.
If that wasn’t included in the £8m, then the next set of accounts could be even worse which is a scary thought.

Someone from within the industry told me once that the majority of Manager contracts have clauses which state that only ~6 months wages are paid in event of dismissal. This lines up with what Clem said on his last Panel appearance.

That was me🤣 I didn’t know if league clubs got better deals considering the amount of hangers on that travel!

Are you starting a collection? If so, I’m in.

Trying to think of any clubs where fans have successfully boycotted games or left early on mass in protest about ownership but hit a blank.
