I can see where Facebook and twitter has an advantage in that they don’t have thread titles so the awful dogs abuse aimed at us isn’t highlighted as much. This thread is mild by comparison in it’s actual content.
I have to agree with this. We all have opinions and they can be passionately expressed, and occasionally the wording can be ill thought out. But on here I’ve rarely seen the abusive and aggressive tone there has been on the Facebook page in recent times.

Call a spade a spade, he’s a council estate boy and expresses himself similar to me were talking football here totally different to everything else, I don’t imagine anyone acts like they do on a Saturday anywhere else, just look at those on Saturday on how they acted I’ll even include myself I committed fraud with many others on the trains some didn’t even pay a penny they just blag it I payed but used the more expensive trains and not the ones I booked. And yes I know it doesn’t include all fans I’m sure your well behaved NLI but You’ve never had a kind word for him and now he’s had not kind words about you just a bit more colourful we’re than yours though.
None of that is a valid justification. As a professional, and as someone in the public spotlight, you should hold yourself to a higher standard of behaviour and manners.

The football club gets dragged lower and lower as time passes
A narcissistic clown followed by a narcissistic debaser.
It’s almost unbelievable.

The Lower League Look claiming they have proof. It will be interesting to see what they have.
The American financial journalist also saying there is more to come re: Wham.

I have seen his post comments on Facebook. I thought it was very very strange that he said “this is a lie” and then immediately switched into talking about the bans.
I think anyone with decency would most likely have said “I am devastated by this, it’s a heinous slur, I would never ever say anything like this, I will track down the people responsible for this terrible mistruth, I will get my solicitors involved” etc etc.
I certainly wouldn’t expect them to just brisk past it as if it’s the least important part of the screenshot, and move on to justifying banning orders.

Seems to me that the legal battle with Swann is not ‘for the stadium’ (as many seem to think) but to determine whether Hilton’s actions in issuing a lease hold any legality. As he admits himself, judgement either way leads to GP being gone – Swann gets it back.
So, therefore we will be evicted either when the case is heard early next year, or if and when it collapses before then. We will be playing at (probably) Gainsborough – and it looks like this would have been the case either way the court case went.
Bored of the emotional manipulation now. Everything he says is about how hard done by he is, while trying to explain away concerning aspects. It’s all designed to make people feel bad for him and feel bad that people dare to hold him to account. From day one he has not been professional, and after much gaslighting nonsense he is reaping the division that was inevitable. I have not seen him ever take responsibility or make an apology for anything without finger wagging at others.
DeereyMe is right in that getting so irritated by this is futile. All I can do is just feel sorrow that him, and the previous idiot have ruined what was a good club.
This is not how business should be conducted.

Two questions:-
Is the content worthy of release on the OWS so we can all read it?
Do we know they’re definitely the chairman’s words?Fairly safe to assume they are, as they have been posted through David White’s account and not anyone else’s…
As for whether they’re worthy of being considered an official statement, the lines between ‘official’ and ‘gaslighting shitshow’ are so narrow these days, who knows!?

In Wham’s latest Facebook statements, this morning:
“My children’s inheritance lost forever for the benefit of people attacking me”.
Tugging at the heart-strings… but whether you were being attacked or not is totally irrelevant. It would be gone either way. You would actually have put yourself in a position where you have spent your children’s inheritance, either way. Attacks or no attacks, the position is on no-one else but you.

I have seen how much abuse Matt has got on social media , especially on Twitter and that facebook group and it’s been out of order imo. The Iron Bru is a good football forum for me.
I saw some last night. Absolutely terrible.

Never had much time for Rob Waltham TBH but I’m not ashamed to say we sure need him now to step up and help out, he is a fan from boyhood so maybe his conscience might sway him to take a good look at our situation.
I would imagine he has half an eye on it anyway – and you would hope he’s not just going to sit on his hands.
It would be great for him politically to be proactive about securing GP. I don’t mean that people would suddenly vote for his party, I mean at a personal level. There’s no getting round the fact it would give him serious kudos and status in the town.
However, I seem to think there is history between Waltham’s administration and Peter Swann! So I don’t know quite how it would work – other than appealing to Swann’s better nature and allowing him to leave the situation thinking he has won in some way.

At the risk of repeating myself we lost our home over 2 years ago.
When Mr Swann transferred ownership to Foolsilk?
You’re partly correct, I suppose. But while it’s still in the shop window there is still hope.

I can’t stress how important this is.
If you lose your home, you lose control and your identity. Sooner or later, you’ve had it.
The Iron Trust should be working with all other interested parties – and lobbying involvement from Rob Waltham and the Council – to ensure GP is not lost.

… the way Hilton has managed our expectations and off-field matters has been incredibly poor.
It has left a nasty taste in the mouth. It’s not how I would expect the Chair of a credible organisation to behave.

I think that’s a fair assessment, Apollo. If this had happened at the start, I’d say there may be disappointment, but more understanding from more people. As it was we heard all these grand plans of a new stadium, how he had the money to buy Glanford Park and has funded what must be a well paid squad for this level. People raising eyebrows were dismissed as anti-Hilton when raising these points and told to shut up or that they wanted the club dead. Now it feels like a huge let down and loss of trust, given the previous claims and attacks on anyone suspicious, to be told it needs to be cut back severely. I know he said that before, but it was during actions which belied that (assembling a costly squad, promising a new stadium and training ground).
These cut backs may be necessary, and the start of this does start from Swann, but the way Hilton has managed our expectations and off-field matters has been incredibly poor.
The ‘land acquired’ thing was a pantomime to rattle Mr Swann, I am sure. I do not believe there has ever been the intention for a new stadium.
