After a little rumour I heard, I now see Adam Wainwright has sent the most recent marketing mail from STFC.  Has Ben Lambert left the club??  Is the finally the end of the MD connection?

Yes he has gone on holiday to brighton

To visit Mex eh?  Very interesting.

Ben's still there, spoke to him on Monday.

No he isnt

Bens leaving after Millwall, id like to wish him luck as he did a sterling job.

Stop licking his ass, you will have to pay full whack on stuff now

Talking of pay, youve just had some deducted, stop going on the internet when your working

I did suggest to the ticket office that they should send ben out on door to door collection for 2nd half season ticket payments but don't think they agreed!

He may well have done Ash, but he's inextricably linked to the old regime, good riddance!

You can't pick your relatives but if you get engaged to a bird with a father like him, some might say you're asking for trouble.

I always felt Ben very pleasant to deal with but as Ronnie says, his links to the dark side were too strong.

The question is, would you have a go on Diamandis' daughter if she were not his daughter?

Is she fit?

What does she look like?

Mike D but with tits?  I mean Mike D but with bigger tits.

I would.

That hardly answers the question of whether she's fit or not does it?

Are you saying Ben doesn't have standards?

No Ben has standards.  Just low ones.

(Only kidding!)

What's she like then? Come on, someone's gotta know?

Easy guys, no need to get personal. 

It's all very light hearted Bushey, don't think anyone has a dislike of Ben, by any means.  He was fine to us lot that day when we went corporate, v Accy Stanley?  He's an alright fella.

Was that aimed at me, Lambert or both or all three?

Like people have said sound enough bloke,He has a good cd collection aswell.

The TEf hasnt been told off by the club for quite a while now.Bens Mrs was one of the main "teller offers " If I remember correctly.Could Barry Scott be up for his first public warning ?

It was aimed at hertha, about you.

Agree. IMO Ben's a good guy.

Yup, good luck to him. He did seem to try and engage well with the fans (mostly), and resolve some issues too.

I've no idea if he was any good at what he did on the marketing side, but if the companies I've worked for are anything to go by perhaps he's being let go for colouring outside the lines. That or he's got a better job.

people from the club lurk on this forum all the time anyway

Guys I had an email from Nick Watkins through work contacts I guess. It read:-

Ben relocated to the Brighton area during the early part of the summer and has been making a valiant attempt to commute to The County Ground two or three days a week since then.  However, the toll of commuting has proved too much and reluctantly Ben has taken the decision to resign in an endeavour to find new employment closer to his new home.  Ben’s last fixture in his current Swindon Town capacity will be the Leeds United fixture and he will be available thereafter to ensure a professional handover, before finally exiting after the Millwall game on Sunday 28th September. I would like to officially thank him for his contribution to the club over the years.

I have never had any problems with Ben as most know before you take the piss. Ok when all the takeover lark was going through he was caught in the middle but he has said in the past that the club was mis-managed. Unfortunately really he was caught in the middle and got a lot of abuse which was unmerited purely due to the family connecton with Mike D and being at Dunwoody. I knew Ben was leaving early last week and I chose not to say anything as it is up to him or for someone else to say something and despite what many people think, The guy does care about Swindon Town and has become a fan over the years. He tried to commute etc to Swindon but as I'm sure Mex can appreciate it would be a hell of a journey to make daily and I wish him well in the future.

ah this makes sense

 All very good Gazzza, but would the fella have got the job without Diamandis being family? To Greeks, nepotism is how things are done.  As soon as the loathed previous regime went Lambert should have gone as well...the fact that he no longer works fro teh club doesn't prevent him being a fan, and being a fan shouldn't be a crieria fro getting the job.

Ben helped us out loads with getting us a kit etc for Worldnet so I've got nothing but respect for the bloke.

OK so Ben MAY have used his connections to get his job. So what! If the chance to move from Dunwoodys to STFC kept him employed i really can't blame him for using his opportunities.  Is anyone really going to say that they wouldn't have done the same thing had they been in his position.He was very aware of peoples thoughts about his father in law and this did cause him so problems, to his credit he always tried to do his best for the club. If you saw him after we had won a game you would have quickly realised that deeply cared for the club....At times he got it wrong, haven't we all ! As far as i'm concerned good luck to him and his wife..   

Ben is a very nice bloke imho

I've no problem with Ben Lambert, good luck to him.

I've heard he don't like you much Arnold!  He told me you're part of the reason he's leaving, something about a "one way love".

As with Gazza, Ben text me last week to let me know.

Have always got on great with him and I wish him all the best for the future

I wish him well. He tried very hard to make something of a shite situation for the club.

Maybe Mexico red and Benny Lambert can car share on a Saturday?

Help save our planet.

Disappointed that he never managed to get his brother to sign from Rovers......might of won divvy two if he hadnt of scored at the gas!

Didn't Lambert merely deny us promotion that day as opposed to denying us the League 2 championship? It was Walsall vs. Hartlepool for 1st and 2nd by then and Swindon vs. Dongs for 3rd and 4th.

We'd have had to beat Rovers and Walsall to win it, thanks to the monkey hangers better GD.

But had he not scored, Rovers wouldn't have gone up.

We had the chance to keep them down with just a draw. And get ourselves promoted with a win.

That was a long trip home.

never liked him, didn't do a particularly good job either.

oh well

who?

Random bump, but I just happened upon Ben and his wife (Mike Diamandis' daughter) on Sarah Beeny's program on C4.

4 tits instead of 2 this week then.

Actually I think Ben was alright, despite the Diamandis connection.

I've just scanned this thread, can you finally answer the question of whether she's fit or not?

Must be careful with what I say, given that she previously had the rozzers pay me a visit for things said against her father, but no; I wouldn't.

well, 5...

Just reading that name again turns my stomach.

Incidentally what is Diamond Mike up to at the moment, he has been very quiet and has disappointed me by failing to sue the club for at least a year or so now - more effort needed Mikey!

I assume the lass from Marina and the Diamonds is not part of that Diamandis clan?

Currently a disqualified director. Who would've thought it, eh?

Bloody cache issue. Found him though:


Those nice people must have asked him to take a break again.

Maybe links are unique, but if you go to http://wck2.companieshouse.gov.uk and click the Disqualified Directors search, you can find what you need.

yeah, realised after posting. See above :)

Good Lord! "Asked to not run a company for a while" again? How unlucky can one hardworking legitimate businessman get? Let's hope he's rigorously sticking to the rules on shadow directors this time. Just like he did last time he was disqualified. Oh yes.

I was hoping diamandis was a corpse by now

You've ruined my dream

I am absolutely gobsmacked the DTI has not had the fuckwit locked up yet

He has a massive hoose

Anybody got a picture of Mr Ds drive?

There's still a pint available to whoever did that (I understand why no-one's told me, of course)...I'll be at Meadow Lane on saturday, for info...

Didn't he scarper back to Cyprus?
