I'm not going to go, I'd quite like to attend, but can't really warrant making the trip.

If I come up with any questions I will post them here.

Cheers DV.

Does the board ever consider approaching companies in town with one off offers for tickets for STFC?  ie £5 to get in for Honda employees on match, then move to the next firm, for the next match.

I know there were offers at the Co-op a couple of seasons ago!  Why have they stopped we need to get the lost supporters back

A question to the panel - Instead of rotating the pitch 90 degrees, why don't we go the whole hog and rotate it 180 degrees?  Surely as we're gonna spend money moving it we may as well get an extra 90 degrees out of it.

Gary Stanley, Rodbourne.

Ive heard they are doing full on computer checks before issueing the ticket. Cos I asked my mate to get me one, but its strictly pay at the box office 1 ticket stuff.

Some mates of mine are going, and I wouldnt mind going myself now either. But last time I did something like this and looked into behind the scenes STFC it depressed the fuck out of me. Wouldnt expect to come out too optimistic.

Hmmm, no checks with me. Made me write down my name and address then gave me a ticket. Doesnt cost either...

I'm never optimistic, so it doesnt bother me  :P

She came into the picture via Mike Diamandis - she has been an accountant in the various parts of his business empire for years. Those parts of the empire that haven't gone bust that it  :shock:

The bit of the Diamandis empire that affects us is what used to trade as Dunwoody Sports Marketing, although that was recently broken up into several smaller Dunwoody-branded front companies. Not sure whether SG is formally employed by STFC or Dunwoody - certainly going back three years she was on Dunwoody's pay-role, as were many of the club's marketing/PR people. But Mark Devlin is - in the announcement over his appointment it was stated that he would be spending 25% of his time working for STFC as Associate Vice Chairman (gotta love that title!) and 75% working for Dunwoody. So basically two of the key employees at the club are employed by Dunwoody. So perhaps a good question to ask tomorrow night might be "Why isn't Mike Diamandis here to answer questions as he is running the club?"

Dunwoody SM used to be mikey greek and jockey dunwoody, they did some football agent work, now dunwoody is pissed off that diamandis is still using the famous name despite their acrimonius split.  Apparantly at one point dunwoody and the racing fraternity wanted to get into football big time.

He's not just pissed off - he's suing him for his name back cos at the moment he can't use his own name for his own sports marketing company  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Nah, if he'd have asked me the whole thing would have been sorted out in a few days! Now will you please take your tongue out of my cheek?

Some bloke actually texted into Radio Swindon saying that a few weeks ago. :D
