Thanks, I'll be listening. I always seem to miss it as I don't normally listen to the pile of festering shite that is Radio Swindon/Wiltshire. Except for at 5pm on a saturday, or on the rare occasions I can't make a game then I'll put up with the commentary as the next best alternative is watching on teletext which is slightly more enjoyable than reading a matchday thread on a forum.

I must be getting old, as I quite like Radio Swindon!!

Will do my best to listen in tonight, although his interviews aren't usually too exciting.

Perhaps someone should phone in and ask Mr Sturrock not to attend next Thursday's meeting as the fan's have issues to "discuss" with the board and do not want Sturrock to get the wrong idea about support for him - and we think he will be used as a scapegoat for them not to answer probing questions.

I've emailed in 2 questions.

1. Does he like all the orange in the crowds :D

2. Will he be staying for the whole of the forum, as there are people who want to ask some hard questions of the board and don't want you to feel critised with regard to on pitch activities.

Or something like that................................

Nice.

I've got to go to work although I don't expect to miss much as I can't understand a word he's saying anyway. Sure I just caught a quick complaint about the weather though.

I want any highlight written on here for when I get back though.

'night 'night  people.

I love his philosophy on the team.

Curtis got injured, Pooky came in, the teams winning.... Curtis'll have to wait.

Great stuff

I've just sent a lengthy(ish) email in, doubt it'll get read out but I'm hoping they'll notice it and Sturrock may choose to respond in his own time, which would be nice.

Hi Paul,

I note with some interest that the fan's forum next week was moved
from a matchday to an evening allegedly on your request. Is this
correct and if so why?

Furthermore, I recall some comments attributed to you regarding the
takeover to the effect that you were against it. Is your stance still
the same or would you welcome fresh investment in the club? Investment
that is backed by a man whose involvement in the club was sadly cut
short earlier this season and is supported by a significant proportion
of fans?

You also previously stated that your ambition for this club is to
achieve a Championship place, would this not be far more likely with a
better future off the pitch with fresh investment and redevelopment
plans which have been designed with the local residents and the
borough council?

My best wishes for continued success on and off the pitch at STFC,
keep up the great job.

I was referring to his pet projects like the bootroom, press room etc. Probably should have clarified that!

Interesting he did not go to the board and ask "how much have I got available to me this transfer window"

strange response from ps regarding the consortium there....


Title: Sturrock on Radio Swindon/Wiltshire at 6pm TONIGHT
Post by: Frigby Daser on Friday, February 2, 2007, 19:07:16
better than I expected though.

Basically, that he has an opinion that he'll air at the forum.

that he understands things like this happen in football and that if it goes ahead, he'll be getting on with the job.

Bit of a slip of the tongue, was there a 'when' it goes ahead in there...couldn't tell.

Always comes across very well, and balanced - he wants to sort the club out top to bottom - I just think it needs somebody at the fans forum to state the consortium case very calmly, in a structured way.

Things are looking up. Lets just hope its not an all out slanging match at the fans forum. People are talking etc, Atleast its the first step.

fuck that, let's have a riot.

the pro-hunt lobby had the right idea when they stormed parliament, and the boxing day hunts still take place.

direct and violent action does work.
