Still do not understand how someone spends £11m can then ask for the £11M back when he it was he who loaned the club the money that he then spent having loaned HIMSELF the money and did so with seeking advice as to how risky the whole thing was !!
You just said it yourself. He loaned the club the money.

A man who put a lot of time, thought and effort into the club, and therefore a loss.
I seem to think it was for the whole season, but do others remember him being on the front of the programme in the mid-80s?
A busy weekend meant that I was unable to listen to the documentary when it aired, but I was able to hear it on catch-up when driving to work this morning.
A very good piece which told the story in broad brush-strokes. It was still interesting and at times emotional and would have given the casual listener a decent idea of how troubled and triumphant things have been on the Iron rollercoaster. The half-hour run time of this programme didn’t really do the twisting nature of the story much justice – but we should be grateful that our club was given any national air time at all.
I do think the last few years is a compelling story and I’m sure there’s a more in-depth version of it waiting to be told. A multi-part radio series, a Netflix-type documentary or even a feel-good film in the Brassed Off, Calendar Girls or Full Monty ‘plucky community’ vein. If Ian Sharp is worth his salt he’s all over this already.

I agree the club should recognize them I suggested one route that cost nothing you objected, how should the club recognize them Apollo11.
Should Michelle not have been recognized by the north lincs business awards? which without Cass couldn’t have started this thread.
Recognition from ones peers is the greatest recognition of all imo.The route you suggested was a route that the Club could otherwise earn money from, so it would not have made sense in the current climate.
I have no objection whatsoever to the fundraisers receiving, say, a public note of thanks from the Club on the website or over the loudspeaker prior to a match or something along those lines.

Do you lot live in a shed, why pick on this merchandiser at least they are Scunny fans unlike the ones offering phone covers or the ones offering pin badges.
Third party merchandiseing goes on across all clubs and sports for that matter and always as done nothing new to see here.It does go on, yes. But this particular case is also to do with the fact that club hasn’t really properly launched its 125 merch. For ‘proper fans’ to do this really lacks class. Plus, they’re seemingly not donating their profit – and that spirit of supporters giving to the club for the greater good is the order of the day at the moment (see Iron Bru beanies etc).

“And they will look after YOU” Rene.
Giving us a friendly on the 27th of July and then another chance to go to the open day on the 28th how benevolent of them.I’d say Michelle saving the club at a critical moment thereby ensuring you have one to support, buying the stadium back from a difficult former owner, putting the stadium into a CIC, harnessing the goodwill in a tangible way with stadium improvements, and repeatedly reassuring that the club belongs to the fans and the community is looking after you.

But haven’t done enough for them to have a place on the fans team lol.
As I said yesterday, this comes across as a bit entitled when there is the potential for money to be made.
