A man is known by the company he keeps.
Between Dominic Chappell (BHS), Michelle Mone and Clem Morfuni, it’s not looking great for Eddie is it?

A man is known by the company he keeps. To be absolutely fair, expensive lawyers rarely end up representing stand up people with no legal concerns. But it's not what you'd hope to see an erm... close relative of one of our shareholders in the news for.

Oh for sure. I’m past being fair! But they also don’t usually end up with shareholdings in football clubs (via their wives).

We’ve had them for a couple of seasons now to give the grass in shaded areas some light in the winter months. Only surprise is we’re still paying the electric cost to use them but then again the cost of a postponed game would soon outweigh the electricity bill.
Ah, fair enough. Even so the grounds man (I assume) was there. Good to know the many ordinary people at the club are as hard working and diligent as ever.

Is it definitely his wife - same surname and related I'm sure. Reason for asking is there was uncertainty it was his wife at the time. Hair splitting. There is nothing to suggest Eddie P has done anything wrong here. Not a good look for him and his firm in the PR dept but I'm sure the legal professional body will kick off if he is Lionel Hutz

I think it's important to recognise and remember that there are some fantastic hard working 'ordinary' people at the club who do a brilliant job on a day to day basis. Yes on the face of things the club appears to be run like a non-league entity cutting costs of everything to an inch of it's life but there are some great people that continue to work bloody hard and these are the people that I feel for. They deserve for the business to be run properly. Hopefully this might be rectified sooner rather than later.

Great point Bob. We did a hospitality package in the Robins Lounge (which I think is new) for the Mansfield game and everything about it was really good...catering was excellent, Chris Hull was hosting and he's great at what he does and all the staff were brilliant. The result helped of course but I couldn't fault it overall. In addition to that, I booked our Crawley tickets (I know...I need help, may well be my last game of the season though) on Monday and got them in the post on Tuesday...which I thought was nothing short of miraculous...

Great to hear OST, glad you enjoyed Mansfield, my dad and I also enjoyed that game. (the way it ended had a big factor in that) Apart from the crappy ticketmaster online experience, I've always been really impressed with how quickly I get sent my tickets for away games, usually within a day or 2 at the most. (I don't live near Swindon so collection is never really an option)

Mrs P has her own skin care line https://www.dualskincare.com/ and at this stage must be the most successful business owner in the boardroom.

Happy Christmas all -
We three kings of Swindon are Bearing gifts we traverse afar Money Laundering Kirachi and Pawning Following yonder star
O Clem of Wonder, Hall at night Loan players returning, doesn’t look bright National League leading, falling and reeling Guide us to a club that is right
Freeloaders we are on Swindon’s plain Refunds we gave to crown him again Ripped off forever, confident never Ownership issues to reign
O Clem of Wonder, Hall at night Loan players returning, doesn’t look bright National League leading, falling and reeling Guide us to a club that is right
Points deductions to offer have I Young and Kemp to say goodbye Supporters not praising Prices are raising All we get is lie after lie
O Clem of Wonder, Hall at night Loan players returning, doesn’t look bright National League leading, falling and reeling Guide us to a club that is right
Injuries mounting the same old tune Following this club it’s always gloom Our rivals are thriving Swindon are dying Can only hope they clear off soon
O Clem of Wonder, Hall at night Loan players returning, doesn’t look bright National League leading, falling and reeling Guide us to a club that is right

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change? Crap!
