Please find below e mail sent to the Club



Ben
 
Regretfully this is now a no-goer.
 
I have spoken to the people concerned and we are of the opinion that before we feel comfortable to enter into any form of sponsorship, we require certain clarification and answers given to questions regarding ;
 
The current position with the proposed new investors, and their aims and aspirations for the club.

The proposed schedule of the "self imposed transfer embargo"

The conclusion of the CVA

The confirmed status of Paul Sturrocks authority over the playing side of the club (signings and team selection etc)

The investors commitment to the redevelopment of the County Ground on its existing footprint or within the conurbation of the town.

 
I trust that this is acceptable and I thank you for your time.
 
Kind regards
 
Andy

Hi Andy

 

Are you still interested in sponsoring Chris’s shirt? If not, not a problem, if it’s still a yes I‘ll take it on trust that you’ll get the cash to me next week and I’ll keep ‘The Town End Forum’ against his name in the BC programme…

 

Thanks

 

Ben

Fred, I think you have spelt out what a lot of us are thinking!  I, personally, agree with the decision.  Perhaps you should copy it to the so-called powers that be, Starnes, though I don't think he is really in the loop.  As I will not be contributing to the sponsorship now I would be happy to make a contribution towards the running costs of this forum, we all get a lot of fun out of the TEF, I suggest if we all made a definite commitment of, say £10, it would make a big difference.

I think we're sorting that side of things out, also who is going to run the site etc.

I guess the admin bods will let you know soon what the score is.

no, I expect Ben read the bit that said it was a no go....ignored the rest and deleted it.

Like he cares or will even take note as to why we arent in for the sponsorship...

So what did you want me to say to him then  Dan ?

Dear Ben

Please fuck off !

Kind regards

Andy



I dont think so mate

There are ways and means of doing things and I thought that if we were going to turn this down then we needed to give a rational reason or reasons why we took that decision.

I thought that was the decent thing to do

whether you agree with it or not

Fair shout Fred. Good email.

If people want to give there money too the tef fund instead then I think there's a paypal link in Whits' signature. There used to be anyway.
