Author Topic: Channel 5's "Can't Pay? We'll Take it Away" Programme  (Read 15842 times)

So, we were given another tantalising glimpse of the bailiffs doing their thing in the bowels of the Arkells Stand in last night's edition but the programme didn't get around to showing the whole piece and we're no nearer knowing what it's all about.  These programmes usually take a long time to come to air, so it probably relates to events from many months ago (Jed's era?). 

Someone out there must know what it was all about.  Maybe Sam Morshead could put his deerstalker on and find out?  We know the Club has a history of leaving it late in the day to pay their bills (eg tax, rent, kit supplier, etc) but it would be good to know if the bad publicity that will eventually come our way is going to be of the major or minor variety.  Hopefully, when it eventually airs, it'll be a damp squib.

The bailiffs have repossessed our damp squib? The bastards! Can we have a whip round to get another dry squib and start moistening it in time for the next home game?

The damp squib will be in the physios bag next to the "magic sponge".

Someone on twitter yesterday said the academy's minibus was repossessed not so long back so maybe that.
Or maybe was the bailiffs who took the TE bar  Hmmm

Yeah....it was left over from when the Lions used to hold their Nov 5th Firework display at the CG, before migrating to the Polo Ground.

I always used to go, but somehow the show never matched the anticipation....the fiery letter display on the Stratton Bank, always making good use of our stock of damp squibs.

It'll be something on nothing but the delightful football fans who don't like Swindon Town will run with it.

Very possibly, cant find the definitive date, but the series was commissioned in early July, which would suggest it was when the court case was in full swing.

I read a couple of comments from Bristol Rovers fans worried that McCrory/Agombar were sniffing around the Memorial Ground. So perhaps he might make a quick buck from them?

Probably waiting until after 2015, in case he decides to run for parliament.
