Post by: mexico red on Tuesday, October 23, 2007, 14:58:12
despair is the word i am feeling at the moment.

for 30 years i have followed stfc and have spent approx £125,000 on tickets, match sponsorship, player sponsorship, matchball sponsorship etc.

however due to a threat of libel hanging over me from the club i will no longer be fighting my case.

There are battles in life that deserve to be fought, after weighing up the plusses and minuses this is a battle i am not prepared to fight, personal issues have to come first.

the club is now dead in my eyes. I will no longer be posting on any internet forums. sorry about the dramatics but hey ho.

One last message to the stfc board. you are playing a dangerous game, time is running out fast and what goes round comes around.
rot in hell.

I tip my hat to you Mex, this is just redicolous and nobody should have to put up with this.

I shall be seriously thinking about returning to the County Ground or not, which is a shame. I don't want to have to go and support a big team with everyone else. The local club is what I want to support, but it's hard when this is the face of my local club.

Sorry to see you go Mex, that doesn't even cover it I guess.

Please keep in touch even if it is non-footbal abuse on the general forum.

The club have lost one of their best fans.

Doesn't hold much hope for others who want their voices to be heard after supporting this club for 20 years or so.

Will you still be going to away matches fella?  Surely you can't just go cold turkey?

I must admit, as I've said before, I've missed the last two home games and have no plans to return for the donny or leyton orient match.  Then I'll just see how it goes, not a boycott as such just do not feel stepping inside the County Ground at this time, which is a real shame.

Last time I felt this way was when McMahon took over as manager, it stopped me from going back then and I fear the current occupiers of the board room are putting me off now.

All the best Mex!

It's a shame that one fan has to see the Club he's supported for 30 years, go dead and buried just for voicing what he strongly believe's in.

All the best for the future Mex.

I feel very saddened you feel this way but I fully respect your feelings on this, our club needs fans like you but the current board dont deserve you, stick to your guns mate and I am sure that I speak for everyone on here when I say you will be welcomed back with open arms if and when you ever decide the time is right to return.

Post by: Kinky Tom on Tuesday, October 23, 2007, 15:17:52
This sucks so fucking much, none of our fans deserve anywhere near the amount of respect that you do, putting your health issues aside for a moment as that in no way defines you at all - I'm genuinly glad I've met you through here mate - you a credit to us all and you've been made a scapegoat by the board for everything that has been said about them recently.

Without wanting to impart my feelings on anyone else and without making accusatory remarks I will phrase this as questions, nobody answer it though...

Is this the club hiding behind 'busy bodies' in order to deflect the blame for the current situation on them?  Is this the board putting the club in even further danger by alienating yet more of the fanbase than they already have?  Is this the club dishing out punishment to 'busy bodies' in order to undermine what the 'busy bodies' are trying to achieve and therefore throw even more doubt in the 'busy bodies' direction so the sections of the fans that are just happy to 'wait and see' will be even more anti-'busy bodies' than they already are?  Will the club eventually have shot themselves in the foot one too many times and have the entire fan base want rid of them?

I'm pissed off, Mex deserves a fucking medal not a fuckin eviction notice.

Love ya man!

I was tempted to reply in a humourous way to that remark, but I thought better of it under current circumstances.

Mex - Frankly, the way you have been treated the last few days is nothing short of scandalous. I don't blame you for taking the stance you have, whilst this situation is important, arguably critical, there are times when you just have to put your personal circumstances first. Good luck and chin up!

Told you not to buy a season ticket.  :wink:

Id love to see Diamandis in court again.

But seriously, this club really is in ruins.

What they've done is a disgrace.
I don't know you Mex (Apart from on here) but from what I can tell, you're a passionate, committed fan and for you to come to this decision you must feel that you've been left with no choice.

When clubs start turning on their own fans there's only way it usually goes.

The sooner that happens the better.

I really hope that it's not too long before you feel you can come back to the CG and enjoy what we all got into STFC for in the first place. Chin up mate.

I think it's vindictive & petty.  To me this typifies this showers attitude to fans. They dont deserve any support what so ever.
Diamandis, Holt & wills for the sake of STFC get out NOW

Mex is genuinly one of the nicest people you will ever meet and I dont think any person on here or anywhere would say otherwise. If you needed something I am sure he would do it. The passion he showed even on the bank last year with flags etc. We would say wow 15 flags is good he would say NO we need another 20 to cover the whole back etc. Thats the kind of person he is, his passion for this football club in unparallelled (sp).

I genuinly feel for the guy. He is without a doubt one of the kindest people you will ever meet and its a damn shame not to see him at a STFC match again calling us all cunts or on message boards. He would take a bullet for you but he would also show you respect. Something that very few people do these days.

To steal a line from Nationwide

PRIDE PASSION BELIEF.

Mex has them all and I wish him the very best personally and professionally in the future and I genuinly do mean that.

I don't know the in's & out's, but reading between the lines, Mex is (rightly )putting his health first?
I would happily chip in to a fighting fund if someone does want to tackle them in court.

The finances arent the thing that matters, from what he said he doesnt want anything to do with it at the moment due to 'fucking women and getting healthy' as he put it  :D

I remember this time I had to do a bit of coursework on someone who owned a business(es). I asked Mex to help me out a bit so sent him some questions which he answered quite promptly. At the time I thought this was very kind and he had done me a favour.

But when I got the mark back - I only got 56% for that bit of coursework. In hindsight he hadn't done me a favour at all. In fact, the lazy cunt should have written the damn thing for me so I could have had a few more nights on the lash.

EDIT: Oh he's not dead.
