This isn't a dig (as i know nothing), but could someone who's lived around these parts for longer than i have explain what it is he is supposed to have done to deserve this 'honour'? Thanks. Title: Mike Bawden Post by: DMR on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 10:43:18 Who?

Thank you for your recent postcard regarding swindon town football club which has been passed to me for attention. The council recognises that swindon needs a good sports stadium and also needs to promote a range of facilities to encourage sports participation by all age groups. The council is there keen to work constructively with the club to look at all opportunities and over recent weeks we have had some useful and positive discussions with the STFC senior management team. However we wish to draw attention to the fact that swindon town football club owed £415,000 to the council for rent and rates in May 2002 when it went into an arrangement with all its creditors to avoid closure, as it could not pay all its debts. The club understands fully that we cannot simply gfive away public assets. While we are very keen to support the club in the biew of its importance to the life of the town this has to be on the clear understanding that the club is able to pay its way for the use of the public assests at the county ground. There are many issues which we and the STFC managemnet team still need to consider. Including the clubs historic financial debts and its future financial sustainability. Further dialogue will be taking place between ourselves and the club to explore options for the way forward and we anticipate that this process will continue until early-mid spring 2006. Hugs & Kisses, up the reds.

Probably allowed to drive his sheep through the Brunel Centre or something. They're putting him up for mayor as well, IIRC. Title: Mike Bawden Post by: Cookie on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 12:05:02 He's been mayor already greedy bugger.
I'll be mayor, gotta be a good job having your own parlour, driver and gold chains BA style. Title: Mike Bawden Post by: pauld on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 12:06:44 Being mayor entitles you to wear bling at civic functions. And park illegally during Remberance Day ceremonies.
Title: Mike Bawden Post by: mattboyslim on Wednesday, February 1, 2006, 13:59:27 Shamefulas it is to admit I used to work in the offices where his firm is based and he actually seemed like an OK guy, not the cretin I'd imagined. Still it's his fault as he's in charge of the clowns at SBC.
