Apparently, the Xmas lunch for local OAP’s which has become an Ann event going back years, has been cancelled because the club can’t afford the money to host it.
You mean this one? https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/2023/november/our-senior-citizens-christmas-lunch-returns-for-2023/ |

Cancelled, taking pace, it's a thin line.

Yeah but they can't afford Santa this year - it'll just be someone dressed up as Santa. |

Yeah, but somebody posted on Twitter that it was going to be cancelled so it must be true  |

Maybe we are reading too much into Bathford's post - he does clearly state that the Ann event is being cancelled. Maybe it used to be a themed Ann Summers Party, and they can't afford the dildo's this year, so it's just going to be a game of dominos.

Or following on from the 'success' of Katie Hopkins at Meca, we were going to be hosting an evening with Ann Widdicombe. |

Let’s clarify things. The Xmas OAP lunch would cost £3,000. The club said no way. They can’t afford it. Therefore to avoid cancelling, the OST and the Business Group are / have going to stump up the money.
If no one came forward, the club were happy to cut the OAP’s adrift for the sake of £3K.

I thought it was odd both the Trust and OSC put out tweets saying they were glad to support it (ie pay for it) |

At least somebody has stepped in to cover it. Probably a lot of friendships there going back.
£3K sounds high mind, how many people go to them?
The club, money... I think we know where we are

I saw a good theory on Twitter from someone re Flynn's new deal:
"Had a thought earlier that maybe it coincided with the fact Clem has finally finished paying off Morris and Brand and can now give Flynn a decent contract? Potentially something preconceived?"
That seems eminently plausible.

Weren't we promised a fans' forum...? Didn't Clem say he was coming over...? Can't remember when.
