This is shocking on so many fronts. For a start, they're gambling with the club's future - six months overdue on a CVA payment means any of the creditors could put the club under at any time.
Second, this basically means that Sandy Gray stood up at the AGM and at a meeting with fans less than a week ago and when asked if we were up to date on CVA etc did not give a truthful (as in correct) answer. Leaving aside the moral aspects of misleading supporters, isn't misleading shareholders at an AGM like this actually quite a serious offence?
Third, what the hell happened to Bill Power's £1.2 million if it wasn't used to pay the CVA? And what happened to the money from the Bryan Adams concert? And what's happened to the greatly increased gate receipts, shirt sales etc this season? Just where is the money going?
At the very least, Gray must go. And the club should call an EGM and this time actually answer questions from fans and shareholders about the true financial state of the club.
Can we actually trust a single word they say anymore? Time to go Diamandis, and take your no-mark lackeys with you. You left one word out of your statement mate. It begins with an L and ends with an R. I'll spell it out for you: LIAR! Starnes and Gray both lied about the CVA being paid up. I appreciate that your position requires that you remain guarded, so I'll say what just about everyone else is thinking. Starnes, Gray, Diamandis, Holt and the whole sheboosh in Newbury - kindly FUCK OFF. NOW! |

Nationwide Building Society has today announced its decision not to continue sponsorship arrangement with Swindon Town when the existing contract expires at the end of this season.
Nationwide has been a sponsor of Swindon Town since 1997 and the building society has supported the club through an extremely eventful period.
Peter Gandolfi, Nationwide's Head of Brand Marketing, said: "It has been a mutually rewarding period for Nationwide and Swindon - we wish them the very best in the future.
"Nationwide recently announced new team sponsorships with England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland for a further four years and football continues to play an important part in our marketing communications mix."

"However, we will be looking to continue to engage with Swindon going forward to build upon our on going programme of activities based in the local communities."
Swindon Town Director Sandy Gray commented: "We have had a fantastic relationship with Nationwide over the course of a decade and they have stood by the football club through some very difficult times.
"Although we must now secure a new club sponsor, it is great to know that we will continue to have a healthy dialogue with Nationwide going forward."
It is fact now - on official site |

To be fair it should be pointed out that the cub have not confirmed the story yet.
After all the media are well known to report on internet gossip and half truths. Maybe BBC RS should ring the club for official comment.
