No idea but wonder if it has something to do with this

I would say so.....It's one thing asking the fans to deliver lunches to the players but to ask for medical people is ridiculous!

[Frigby Daser]

The first question asked by Morfuni and Hall appears to be “do we have to pay for it?” rather than “how do we do this well?”.

And even when we have to pay for it, the question is then “how long after the payment is due shall we actually pay?” Ambulances, police, the joint venture…

There’s only one result when that’s the culture that is created.

Yet we invest what appear to be much needed funds into the women's team and trips to Karachi.

I really don't understand.

In their defence and i will likely be proved wrong i don't see them asking for a volunteer in that email ? It does say employ someone though

That may be the case, but they cant even pay the ambulance service on time for what I'm presuming is providing the same service so wouldn't count the chickens on this person getting paid on time either

Thats fucking disgusting isn't it. So glad I've not renewed, can just see things reverting back to the norm unfortunately. We had a good 3 weeks though didn't we so that was nice

“So LL, why won’t you get a ST or go to any home games while the current ownership are at the helm?” That my fellow TEF’s is one of many reasons.

I imagine that our club is being run on the same lines as a contracting building company. The evidence is staring everyone in the face. Being run just like all his other companies. Don’t give this man any financial credit.

Would this go against the late payments that would trigger the suspended transfer embargo?

Would be absolutely typical of the club if the early signings were purely made because they knew they would struggle to do anything later in the window.

They haven't, however, after the adver story I would be very careful to take on such a roll.

Perhaps we could send some of the players on a first aid course. Then pay St Johns' Ambulance some time in 2027 - or perhaps they accept installments?

He could barter some tradie work at any of their buildings, and never turn up.

We've already had Lewis Ward as a Youth Coach/Player, is a Medic/Player that much of a stretch?

Perhaps we could hire Nigel Adkins?

I though the first question was "how do we avoid paying for it, and do we have a good admin error story lined up"

And are still outstanding according to that article. Wakey wakey Clem and co.

What do all the other L2 do?

many will use an external agency for events, or recruit on actual job sites. I doubt many use the Official Supporters Club mailing list. One person when the gates are over 5,000+ is an avoidable tragedy waiting to happen.
