Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, February 16, 2007, 18:29:28 in the queue
Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, February 16, 2007, 18:30:15 Have e mailed them this
I would like to make it known that a significant number of the fan base of this football club have grown more than a little tiresome of the constant misleading comments attributable to the board of STFC. We have also reached a stage where the boards complete attitude of "sticking our heads in the sand" and hope that the fans and the consortium will evaporate away is disrespectful to all that pay good money to come and support this club. Well, we will not support the club and it's present regime any longer. The team yes, the club no ! The time to let our voices be heard has descended upon us, and active protests are imminent, and I urge all fans to consider a life without a football club from May of next year, if this flight of fancy idea about rescheduling the CVA payment over a longer period does not get accepted by the required percentage of creditors. Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Sussex on Friday, February 16, 2007, 18:31:05 Quote from: "Fred Elliot" in the queue Take deep breaths, and remember not to say cunt Fred Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Dazzza on Friday, February 16, 2007, 18:31:53 Bit cryptic from Roberts at the end there, sounds like he thinks he'll be off in the summer?

He'd have been better off keeping shtum. Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Sussex on Friday, February 16, 2007, 18:51:51 Back listening again 2-3pm tomorrow then.

Com on Reg, it's well known that the residents of Broad St are in a state of permanent sleep apart from 1 day every 3 months, what were you expecting, that Bowden might meet them off the cuff a few times as well? :wink: "it's very nice letter" - well, K Leakey was hardly going to say fuck off in it was he. Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: STFC_Gazza on Friday, February 16, 2007, 19:01:59 seems like the show only aired negative views towards the board. We know which side the BBC is on then?

BE fair to them, they just read what was sent to them.
On another note Patrick came across extremely well on the radio. Nicely put Sir.

Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: lebowski on Friday, February 16, 2007, 19:09:52 presumably you called in to announce your indifference on current events.
Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Leggett on Friday, February 16, 2007, 19:10:58 shame. i'd love to have heard you switch allegiences mid-sentence ;)
Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: lebowski on Friday, February 16, 2007, 19:11:04 and yes, very well said patrick. you did us proud.

Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Frigby Daser on Friday, February 16, 2007, 19:15:28 So Mike has met community groups - I am sorry mike, I take it all back - 2 groups in the space of however long you've been working at the club is admirable.
Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Leggett on Friday, February 16, 2007, 19:19:50 come on moonie, be fair, i think the most piercing point you made was that he didnt speak to the community. ;) whereas he obviously does. well, he opens the letters and emails, but probably doesnt read them, or respond! :D

Plans at an ‘advanced’ stage, Chippenham just a consideration, board committed to development on the CG site, working with council and residents in the forthcoming weeks. Certainly worth re-iterating from the council minutes... http://ww2.swindon.gov.uk/moderngov/Published/C00000285/M00002496/$$MDocPackPublic.pdf Quote Questioner Mr. Tony Norris. Question: Can the Cabinet Member for Resources confirm how much the Council are owed under the terms of Swindon Town Football Club's Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA)? Has, as is widely rumoured, there been any approach to Council to renegotiate the final payment of that sum due this summer? Response The Chair thanked Mr. Norris for his questions and asked Councillor Nick Martin, Cabinet Member for Resources, to respond. Councillor Martin advised that he had provided Mr. Norris with the following written answer. Swindon Town’s creditors accepted a Company Voluntary Arrangement (CVA) on 24 May 2002. The debts owed to the Council at that date and included in the CVA amounted to £415,609.52. (The total debt in the CVA is £5.7m.) A CVA is similar to liquidation, as debts included cannot be chased for payment. Under the terms of the CVA, annual contributions were to be made to the appointed supervisor of the CVA, Andrew Andronikou of Hacker, Young and Partners as follows: £130,000 by 21 June 2002 £100,000 by 30 June each year from 2003 – 2006 £900,000 by 30 June 2007 Proceeds from the contributions go to the Administrators’ fees and secured creditors first (Inland Revenue and Customs and Excise). The Council and unsecured creditors will receive a dividend from the final payment of approximately 24p in the £. The Council’s share will equate to approx £100,000. The Council understands that the payment due in 2006 is outstanding and that the Administrator will be meeting with Swindon Town Football Club on 8 February 2007 to discuss this. Under the CVA any negotiation around payments is between the Club and Hacker, Young and Partners. The Council has no knowledge that the Club wish to renegotiate the CVA, although it would not be party to such negotiations in any event. Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: townfanupnorth on Friday, February 16, 2007, 19:42:54 Gazza you make me laugh with your comment saying that it was all one sided and that everyone who emailed and texted etc were slagging off the board, well that's because the majority of stfc fans are now against the board, the only people left that support the board are the board bum lickers and there's no doubt in my mind that you are one of them, you are so pro board!! you must be a fool to side with them, have you been brainwashed? why go from being on the trust to more or less being against the trust???
Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Spencer_White on Friday, February 16, 2007, 20:00:57 £900,000 by 30 June 2007
Fuck, we could fold on my birthday. Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Friday, February 16, 2007, 20:01:09 well a lot of support for the consortium as i expected! shame they had to cut it all short but im glad we didn't have to listen to Mike Bowden! oh and well done Moonie! what a great phone in!

The question was answered on air. It wasn't being broadcast to allow people to share their true feelings etc on the subject.[/quote] And who might these people be who cannot share their true feelings on air. As they haven't asked what the fans want re a broadcast then I assume they only wish to protect themselves. Further more what of the right of the fans who cannot make it because of distance or the ridiculous limit on tickets (or not chums with Lamby).

(its entirely possible I missed that bit though) Is it more w case of that's what the Board told you they would say, but it was never aired. Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Frigby Daser on Saturday, February 17, 2007, 11:54:48 Interesting post from Peter Rowe on MoS - don't know if it's true, may be worth seeing if it can be confirmed/denied today by somebody.
He suggests that Monday's forum will have no open questions to the floor - all questions will be submitted prior to the board who'll give responses and take no further questions on them. Personally, I doubt whether thats the case. Not even the board are that dumb. As for potential new investor - if he can: *wipe the board clean of those that have lied repeatedly over the last few years and can therefore not be trusted by any Town fan on anything that they say - Holt, Gray, Starnes, Diamandis *development or no redevelopment, keep us in Swindon *pay off the CVA on time and do no more to take the mick out of past creditors, especially the Council who we need onside *have a fans rep on the board *categorically rule out the possibility of a move to Chippenham or anywhere outside Swindon, and never has it discussed again *treat fans with the respect they deserve and make this feel like a unified football club again ....then he'll have my support - because thats what we'll get from the Fans Consortium and that is why those that support it do so Note how this other offer is 'investment' and not a takeover - which means that it'll give us the means perhaps to meet CVA payments, another Wills-friendly director, the continued possibility of Chippenham, continued strained relations with the Council, continued lack of respect for fans and continued protests until the untrustworthy few are removed - it'll merely prolong the horrible state of affairs we've got now. On to Darlington....come on lads Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: lebowski on Saturday, February 17, 2007, 12:02:55 peter's message is here:
http://boards.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=1019&p=16&style=1&forumId=3486&action=1&replytoid=529974669 if the content of that message is true (questions submitted in advance, no opportunity to respond to answers etc) then the fans forum is purely another board propaganda machine. anybody got an email address for radio swindon to get them to press bowden/whoever on this today? Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: Summerof69 on Saturday, February 17, 2007, 13:28:27 It's [email protected]
Title: BBC Radio Swindon Post by: ronnie21 on Saturday, February 17, 2007, 13:44:04 [email protected] oh, and get them to ask Bowden why he never did phone me back as promised! Ron
