I'd apply but I'm not very good at facing rejection.

  You could always pretend that it hasn't happened....give the wrong address and phone number just to be on the safe side.

I did see fatty Lynn and Bodgy Ron were "retiring"

Big high 5 to the board for sorting this out finally!

In fairness both Lynn and Ron have been loyal servants to the club for many years, in return for which they've not been that well paid, when they have been paid at all. I'm glad to see the club is looking at a more professional retail set-up but I don't think the fault for it not having been like that in the past is down to Lynn and likewise with the ground maintenance and Ron. Both have done more than could be expected with the resources available to them, not their fault if those resources were far from adequate. Personally I think they both deserve our thanks for the loyalty they've shown a club which all too often hasn't reciprocated it.

Spot on Paul, perhaps the trust can do something to show a loyalty recognition? flowers for lynn is simple 30 quid idea

[janaage]

To be honest Paul I have got a clue who or what Fatty Lynn and Bodgy Ron are.

No more queuing in the cold for tickets???  Surely not.  It's gonna be like dole day at the Post Office.  Ben can you shed any light what that's actually like?

[Jamiesfuturewife]

I know they have been loyal and worked for a long time for a pittance
and the club shop has not run down to how it is entirley because of them but I also know they have not always helped matters

Ron has worked at the club for 19 years and, in truth, is not a particularly well man.  He had the opportunity to take voluntary redundancy and after the problems of the past few years jumped at the opportunity.  Who would have wanted his job when every time he went into town to get paint, wood etc. for maintenance work he was met with a blank refusal or it was strictly cash only.  As for Lynn - well let's not forget the boast from the Greek who claimed he set the shop up and stocked it.  Please do not anybody point the finger at her for the inadequacies of the shop.  I guess a lot of the posters on here are too young to remember the personal tragedy that Ron and Lynn had to go through a few years back.  I completely agree with Dogger Davis.
