Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: STFC_Gazzza on Friday, June 22, 2007, 07:40:08 To have a bit of fun, lets guess when todays Statement will be released and what it will contain...
My guess : The fans are also to blame for us not being able to pay the CVA because not enough fans have bought season tickets for the coming season, and not enough fans have parted with £10.00 deposits for the home and away shirts, to be released at 5:26pm Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, June 22, 2007, 07:47:04 Whatever it is, I'm sure it'll be a belter. Let's hope they let Micky D loose with the keyboard again :mrgreen:
Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: fatbury on Friday, June 22, 2007, 07:50:50 itll be something about 1700hrs
Andronikou has the right to alter the terms of the cva blah blah - council have got it wrong blah blah .. meeting to be held next week with creditors to tell them what is being renegotiated etc etc a small minority of busybodies stirring up false rumours blah blah power has no money - there is no consortium etc etc all the usual crap and above it will be GET YOUR SEASON TICKETS NOW!! 3000 sold so far!!! - statements rarely fill the opening line on the webpage ... Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: Ardiles on Friday, June 22, 2007, 07:53:57 'Having alienated everyone from the customer fan base to our own landlords, we now appreciate that there is no realistic proposition of the current board and owners of Swindon Town Football Club being able to return the club to the upper divisions of English football. And while we're at it, we'll 'fess up to the fact that the 'mystery investor' only ever existed in Mike Bowden's head.
We have, therefore, decided to remove the pre-conditions placed on the NDA agreement with a view to entering in to a dialogue with Bill Power regarding the sale of a controlling stake in the club.'

I thought that you were quoting that off the OS. Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: yeo on Friday, June 22, 2007, 08:04:28 It'll be something about Trawlers and Sardines hopefully.
Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: dell boy on Friday, June 22, 2007, 08:07:25 No statement today on Statement Friday, they can't afford to offend the last three supporters they may have and that is probably an over-estimate. :( :?
Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: magic8ball on Friday, June 22, 2007, 08:07:55 Quote from: "Yeovil Red." It'll be something about Trawlers and Sardines hopefully. Yes. Hopefully Bob Holts been mowed down by a North Sea trawler and Mike Diamandis has been eaten by mutant Sardines. Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: glos_robin on Friday, June 22, 2007, 08:28:14 I reckon it'll be along the lines of the council are nasty bullies and the club not understanding what they are saying.
It will be posted at 17:22 Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: janaage on Friday, June 22, 2007, 08:38:43 From the OS -
"The board of Swindon Town are shocked and dismayed to see Cllr Bluh's comments in the Swindon Advertiser this morning. Mike Bowden in particular has taken his comments to heart and has now withdrawn Mr Bluh's invitation to his birthday party next week. It is a shame that it has come to this as with Mr Bluh's attendance confirmed, we had enough for five a side. Now one side will be a man down and 4 against 5 is never any fun. We also have to think about the after match swim which Sandy and Willie had spent a lot of time in coming up with appropriate games for the boys and girls to enjoy. These comments are a cheap shot at trying to spoil Mikey's big day next week. Hopefully "Maverick" will be able to step into Mr Bluh's boots and save the day and Mikey has been looking forward to his party for weeks. Until the next time The board of STFC" Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: ghanimah on Friday, June 22, 2007, 08:48:34 Next Friday's statement will be a lot easier to predict.
The End STFC R.I.P. No flowers Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: Simon Pieman on Friday, June 22, 2007, 12:30:56 I reckon they'll anounce the investment on the 30th June and the club won't be wound up. All hail the board for saving the club with minutes to spare.
Evil Bill Power can sell his shares back to the club at a rate of 1p to £1 if he so wishes :D Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: Fred Elliot on Friday, June 22, 2007, 13:39:59 Perhaps they are not naming the potential new investor yet because there will be uproar when we find out who they are and what the caveats are linked to the investment

We can confirm that the CVA has now been paid, we would like to thank our new investor, Lady Gillian Wills who has invested just under £1m to enable us to continue taking the club forward. We have been talking to Lady Gillian for quite some time and she has agreed to remortgage the rest of the family's assets on the understanding that she will get the money back from the impending redevelopment of the CG. To this end we will be ceasing talks with the Fans Consortium as the Wills family have never had any intention of selling STFC. We can also announce changes within the board room, with the immediate effect Mike Bowden will be chairman of STFC with Willie Carson becoming responsible for all PR matters. End Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: Batch on Friday, June 22, 2007, 15:34:37 Hooray. Not too rambling and to the point :shock:
http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1055985,00.html Quote Council Leader Rod Bluh is absolutely correct in asserting that the Club has not asked the Council to renegotiate the timing of the CVA payment. It is not within the remit of the football club to do so. That is the responsibility of the CVA Supervisor. In yesterday's statement, the Club did not claim to have asked the Council to a renegotiated payment scheme. It merely pointed out that a meeting had been held with Council officials to discuss the current status of the CVA. This took place on the 6th June 2007 with Andy Stephens and Kevin McKinlay from the Council's Finance Department at the request of Marie Rosenthal. We anticipate that Mr Andrew Andronikou, the CVA supervisor, will be contacting creditors, when he considers it appropriate to do so. Title: Statement Friday....

By not saying anything in response to what the fans and now the Council are saying, it's saying that they've completely run out of ideas Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: Batch on Friday, June 22, 2007, 15:39:12 I thought the point was that it is at Andronikou disgression. Which it is really.

"Just two weeks ago representatives of the Club met with officials from the Council's Finance Department to discuss the position with the CVA. At that meeting the Club clearly outlined the CVA Supervisor's rights and obligations to vary the schedule of payments." today's statement: "Council Leader Rod Bluh is absolutely correct in asserting that the Club has not asked the Council to renegotiate the timing of the CVA payment.

The line about Android contacting creditors suggests that they do not expect to have the money by next friday as well. Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: Samdy Gray on Friday, June 22, 2007, 15:46:13 So...
Quote from: "They" Council Leader Rod Bluh is absolutely correct in asserting that the Club has not asked the Council to renegotiate the timing of the CVA payment.

We anticipate that Mr Andrew Andronikou, the CVA supervisor, will be contacting creditors, when he considers it appropriate to do so. Which I read as... Quote We were going to say Council Leader Rod Bluh is talking out of his arse about the timing of the CVA payment, but then we realised we'd be in a whole heap of shit if we did. We could have arranged a meeting with the Council, but to be frank we couldn't be bothered. We thought we'd leave it up to CVA Supervisor instead so when it goes tits up, we'll pin the blame on him. In yesterday's statement, the Club claimed to have asked the Council to a renegotiated payment scheme but we kind of dodged around it in a round-a-bout fashion, so we've changed our minds. We've decided instead that we'll say a meeting had been held with Council officials to discuss the current status of the CVA. This took place on the 6th June 2007 with Andy Stephens and Kevin McKinlay from the Council's Finance Department at the request of Marie Rosenthal. We anticipate that Mr Andrew Andronikou, Mike's best mate a.k.a. God, will be contacting creditors when he considers it appropriate to do so, which in our book means it'll be in about three years time from next Tuesday - if Sandy remembers Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: Frigby Daser on Friday, June 22, 2007, 15:50:31 My god i thought you were taking the piss, but then I realised the statement was real - but given the shitness of the new site and the fact they've hidden it below auctions, aljofree and 'new site makeover' stories, I missed it.
ok, so now they're pinning it on Andronikou. Andronikou will only eer need to rearrange the CVA if the club can't pay it - surely he takes some level of instruction from the club? jesus christ this is ridiculous FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF FUCK OFF Title: Statement Friday.... Post by: pumbaa on Friday, June 22, 2007, 15:54:21 That's an awesome interpretation Sam :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

We will need to deluge local media - BBC Radio Swindon, Swindon Advertiser, whoever - with letters e-mails. The time for talking amongst ourselves on internet forums has got to be over.
