Right, okay i'm wankered at this moment, but i just met up with an old mate who works very closely with the club and just told me a couple of stories that help clear up some of our little debates past and present.
I will not debate whether you think they are bullshit or not, i am just gonna retell the stories i have been told. All appear to make sense and several i
DO KNOW are factually acurate. i will not tell you which, as i believe them all to be correct. One of which has been verified by several people as well.
HEWLETT AND GURNEYFirst comes Hewlett and Gurney. We all know the rough story here, but this is supposed to be the facts.
They were close friends and they went on holiday together, taking their wives. One night they were all out, Gurney feels ill and says he's going back to the hotel room. Hoolits misses follows as she is also "ill".
Anyway, Hoolit and Gurneys wife go back and catch Gurney doing hoolits Missis. Hewlett looses the plot and starts trying to kill gurney and gives him a proper kicking. It ends up on the balcony of the room and hoolit and gurney essentially (film style) end up brawling a bit close to the balcony.
It ends up with hoolit near throwing Gurney over the balcony then whilst tryint o prevent him falling, hurts his wrist (hence the bandages). Not aas dramatic as it sounds; hewlett hurt himself impulsively helping him!
It turns out gurney was a bit of a pussy and hewletts wrist was actually hurt trying to help gurney. It also transpires that gurney was disliked and a team discussion backed hewlett and as a team they decided they backed hewlett! Hence the transfer. It also came out King and Gurney were never quite the bum chums we all thought.
THE DEPLETION OF NICHO'S SKILLNicho, when he first arrived at town was fairly introvert person and kinda kpt himself to himself.
heywood was an arrogant wide boy and generally liked himself a touch. He was liked, but consideed a bit to up his own arse. Nicho wa fairly unassuming and generally a nice chao and well liked. For some reason he started to become best maes with heywood.
Slowly Heywood and Nicho became bum chums and Nicho, like heywood, became up his own arse and felt he was above most players. This created friction and apparently the team, as a whole, felt nicho was too big for his boots. This resulted in nicho going from a near non drinker to someone who frequented the bars and pubs. He drank too much and became demotivated . It was also mentioned that this was a possible reason for mooney's punch; nicho was just generally to much for some nowadays and that tackle was the icing on the cake.
PARKIN'S LOW TRANSFER FEENot much to say here, other than some may have worked out. But as a result of our creditors, it took some serious wrangling to get a serious fee for parkin as the creditors wanted him sold for any old poxy sum.
now the creditors i mention were told to me as the administrators, but i don't know how this works, but from what i was told he nearly went for alot less. And no, i was not told the transfer fee as this would be bad news for the person telling me the story. The facts were that as a result of our previous admin and the fact we are still to some degree watched carefully, we (as a club) had very little say in the fee agreed.
To be fair to them (sorry if you are reading, i said this was for me only! oops!), but they did say they had forgotten the fee, but this was clearly untrue, they just knew they wouldn't be able to tell anyone! They did however confirm it was not towards the lower end of the figures being thrown around.
Please don't come back bitching about this, i'm not trying to be tabloid, just thought it may make some interesting reading. ( i will make no further comments regarding these stories
)
