Lets keep our fingers crossed.

we've heard it all before, we've heard it all before. we've heard it all before....

you know how that one ends!

Frankly, IMO, what the Board have done this afternoon is likely to be the straw that breaks Fitton's back. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm not overly optimistic right now....

The board must think we are fools......this takeover is dead in the water.....they are greedy bastards.....what goes around comes around.

I put that through my Holt/English online translation service.  The full text of the statement, in English, reads as follows:

'Blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, blah-blah-blah, fuck off, bollocks, I'm a cunt.'

Robert Holt, Esq.

Now I am so fucking angry with this, someone is not telling the trusth and I think its the club.

Brunel say the takeover will happen today, STFC say they hope it will happen today and the BBC spoke to Mr Fitton an hour ago and they say it looks like it wont happen at all.

Nothing but the usual lies to try and avert protests at the game.

"And we expect him to sign this afternoon".... so when he doesn't implicitly its all his fault not ours.

Just cut the crap and stop trying to take us for fools. If you dont want to sell, just say and save us all a lot of grief.

yes the statement stinks of its our club and we call the shots not you mr fitton heres our terms take it or leave it. lets hope hes going to complete and the issues are minor.

They won't sell....no doubt there will be the usual last minute amendments in the deal they faxed to Fitton.....Fitton will tell them to shove it and the cunts will never go away.....diamond mike will try and make a few bob in January.....it's been obvious all week that this takeover was falling through....protesting and everything is good but they just don't give a toss....protests don't really bother them, if it did then they would have left a long time ago....they have no intentions of selling and will try and blame Fitton for the collapse.

Hence why I am sat at home on the tinternet instead of being at the ground, I just refuse to give these cunts any more money. The only way they will go is if we starve them out empty home stands will certainly hit it home to them.
I am trying to be positive but I really do think this could be the last league game at the CG.

so is Diamond Mike at the match today?  Are the Wills?

no theyre both on the next flight to brazil with all the money.

When was the last time Diamond Mike was ever at a game that is the sad thing that he does not give a fuck about STFC he is a Reading supporter if anything he probably does want it to go under

Apparently theres an emergency board meeting going on during the game.

Personally think that the statement is just trying to avert serious trouble breaking out if it gets out that the deal has officially fallen through today.

Where have you heard that from?

it was on bbc swindon before the game ed hadwin let out all the details. an emergency board meeting and there was frantic action going on at the club behind the scenes. the meeting is at the end of the game.

Yup, although my understanding of it was that the board meeting was going on already, happy to admit I may have got the wrong end of the stick on that front though.

What he said.

I am sure that Hadwin said that the meeting was going on now!!

i may have miss quoted the meeting not sure when but yes bbc swindon said there was to be a board meeting. lets wait and see looks like fitton could have told em to stuff it.

I thought he said "was going on now" too

could be discussing the best escape route out of the CG.

Looks like the end is nigh for the Town lets just hope the HMRC put us out of our misery quickly the last thing we want is for the club to limp on for another month or two, I hope Diamond Mike and SSW have good security because this could get nasty.

Dilluded pair of pricks spring to mind.

Someone just rang me from the county ground.....apparently it's getting abit heated, there's loads of chanting of sack the board and one andrew fitton, when the second goal went in it got more louder and the fans got more angry.

Brunel FM reporting that the takover WILL be complete this afternoon.....

what the hell do they know, they probably only know what bh and co tell them

i'd love to be proved wrong though

not heard that. maybe they are getting the paperwork ready for fitton to sign hense the board meeting. mind you brunel fm are stfc media partner  and i wont believe it until i see it.

You cynical jock (although you are probably right). Anyone know what BBC are currently reporting?

from what i've heard this afternoon the beeb are rather less confident of a deal being completed today.

pumbaa, can't you listen to Radio Swindon online? I'm sat in the middle of Russia listening on this:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/mainframe.shtml?http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/swindon.shtml

bbc are sitting on the fence. generaly reporting the sorry state that could follow if its off.

I don't get the impression that the beeb think it won't go through, more a case of them just not knowing really.

Yeah you're probably right BR, just me reading inbetween the lines.

Of course, but I'm wringing the last vestiges of my STFC World subscription and listening to the match commentary on Brunel. I'll be back to RS as soon as the final whistle blows.

I've had a few phone calls today and there is a lot of chanting going on, i've never heard the fans being so vocal against the the board during the game, also with the emergency board meeting going on i hope this is the end for the current board.

lets pray,

FFS sent the email to Fitton to the wrong address! Only at STFC ...

you having a laugh?

I'm sorry but  :soapy tit wank:

Where did you hear that?

A glimmer of hope then from the beeb, apparently some documentation was sent to Fitton by Email but some brainless wonder had the wrong Email address!!!

That's a fucking joke.....I heard that this deal needs to be done by 6 today.

Just been on BBC Swindon...FFS fucking twatty mucppets.

You couldn't fucking make it up, could you.....

Sheer incompetence to (hopefully) the end.

Oh, 3-0

FFS - surely with something as important as this you would send the e-mail, then ring him to check he'd got it. That is fucking ridiculous.

If of course its true, and not just another stalling tactic to avoid having to announce that they finally fucked it all up good and proper when there are several thousand pissed off fans on the doorstep.

Seems email was sent to Aljofree. He was reading it while Hammond just made it 3-0!

Oldest trick in the book, has replaced the old its in the post chestnut!

AF is apparently reading the ammendments that have been made to the final take it or leave it offer.

Do they understand what take it or leave it means?

Chuckle brothers running the club.

Apparently they dont Mikeeb they still think the club is worth something, sad twisted misguided twats.

Well Fitton made a final take it or leave it offer.....the board have obviously now sent an email with a deal, no doubt with amendments in it, if there are amendments in it then surely Fitton will just say no deal.

This is a nervy time, please sign on the dotted line Mr Fitton!!

I suspect they're somthing like this.

Its like having an argument with the wife.
You don't win unless you have the last word.

Diamond mike, gray, holt, seton wills, james wills.....get the fuck out of our club now!!!

Winning an argument with the wife is a myth mate!

Don't say that. I can dream that one day I can win.

20 minutes to go?

oh dear!

COME THE FUCK ON!!!!!!!!!!!

I need to get packing, and I can't until I hear some news.....

Good grief.  Even Chippenham fans are giving it large on the radio right now.  Note to Wills...this is how far we have fallen with you 'in charge'.  One last chance to redeem yourself - at least slightly.

do they have any fans?

STFU Herman....

They do have a very well run club, so they're ahead of us in that department.

I'm Chippenham born and (in)bred, and have a soft spot for the Bluebirds. My cousin runs the club shop. I know the Chairman very well. I was in the same year at school as Adie Mings. I used to go now and again before I moved away.

Anyway, back to the most important topic....sorry for the diversion

average gates around 500, they can get around 1000 or so for big games, not bad for the level they play at.

JUst to clarify the e-mail situation. As i understand it, AF was waiting for an e-mail from the clubs legal team. They sent it to the wrong address.

This wasn't realised by anyone atthe club, beacuse it wasn't their place to send it until AF chased it.

He was sent it asa soon as the club were told of the problem.

AF is leaving for Austria for a skiing holiday tomorrow at 10am. If the deal is done by then it's off.

The current board have tonight and only tonight to sort this out including a cheque for a third of a million to HMRC.

Oh, that one again. They tried that with the FC as well - old hat, old trick. Lying cheating scum

Have you heard anything paul? do you think we are going to hear anything tonight?
