    Bravo on the fundraiser.
    But, ain’t the wage bill (down to) about £80k a month?
    £26k raised so far… we’re a long way short.

    Muster Stations!

    Is there any activity taking place in organising a new club?

    Now we have the cull of the cult of WHAM.

    Has Herbert turned yet or is he still on the payroll?

    Are there any of the players from the first batch that he brought in still here?

    One an hour every hour on the hour.

    It was so corny!

    His accountant will have to ensure that all transactions are logged accurately in the ledger… else there will be further allegations.

    I’m guessing that when a business goes in to administration / liquidation then a microscopic analysis is undertaken?

    Do you think tomorrow’s game will be on?
    If the players ain’t paid today then they may strike?

    DH isnt walking away empty handed ..not having proof of what hes actually paid out truthfully 5555
    , more likely pockets laden with CASH … the cash form gate receipts , season tickets. merc sales , car parking smoking goat FnB gig, 1899 , 100 clubs, ALL THE SPONSORSHIP deals.. enough to buy another club maybe

    What used to make me chuckle back in the day was when the guy on the microphone used to announce the attendance:

    “Todays attendance… 3,500”

    I used to look around the ground and think… there’s 5,500 here.

    Cash is king.

    Which two directors have gone today?
    Sorry but I’m not in the UK, so finding it awkward keeping up.

    Alarm bells were ringing before the ‘dossier’ was published on The Fishy forum.
    Afterwards the death knell was sounding!

    lets not forget Hilton specified buying season tickets was on a cash basis , no credit cards etc, obviously these would have some insurance attached where as cash hasnt,im guessing the cash sales on the replica kits , car parking etc were for the same reasoning .. ie .. readying for D Day which is now upon us.

    Looks to me like DH has turned out to be nothing more than a chancer

    Silent H?

    Did he buy those plots of land in his own name, or do they belong to our club? We know Swanny will never allow us to maintain Glanford Park, not even for a reasonable price.

    I’ll never trust a new club owner again, sick of sticking my neck out for dishonest dead beats.

    “First team manager Jimmy Dean reflected on a point on the board away at Chorley”
    James Moody’s match report intro on the OWS.

    James dear boy – we only have one team these days.

    Once upon a time we had a first team, a reserve team and an U18s team.

    Yes, yes… I know, we’re level 6.

    Manager, Jimmy Dean reflected…

    It’s all becoming a tad too WOKE for us old guys who are used to calling a spade a manual agricultural tool for the removal of or digging of soil.

    They were informed of that criminal past when he tried to purchase Bury and again when he bought Scunthorpe, so once they get done with their Hilton investigation, the FA should start investigating its own deficiencies.

    FA & EFL aren’t fit for purpose and it’s an old job for the boys network.
    It stinks.

    What a dilemma?

    No pay = (potential) No play.

    But

    No play = Walkover to opposition?

    No play = Points deduction?

    What a wretched situation in which to be placed?

    We don’t even have an U18 team that could fulfil the fixture so as we aren’t penalised by the authorities.

    It’s a sad mess we are in.

    You’ll be astonished to know that no planning application for the sites is currently in progress on the North Lincs Council website.

    Has the land being purchased or even rented?
    If not, the signs should come down… surely?

    I see the Level Playing Field for disabled sports fans are launching an investigation into the text which DH sent with his vile comment. I like many of our supporters find this comment disgusting, abusive and this coming from the owner of SUFC.

    And so they should.
    We all have disabilities (weaknesses), some people’s are much more severe physically & or mentally and are therefore easier to identify.
    However, these people are our people… ourselves, our mother or father, grandmother or grandfather, brother or sister, son or daughter.
    One life. One love. One United.

    I get the feeling that somehow ..and there has been a glimpse of it that was retracted .. pleas for an avoidance of tit for tat and any appearance of stooping to ‘juveniles’ level will be interpreted as being on ‘ t’other side.’
    Whilst the title of this thread remains and posts like Rene’s .. ‘repugnant taste’ .. remain then I’m not too likely to see the Bru as being elevated as far up the moral high ground as we should be.

    It was a tongue in cheek (face), jocular throw away comment.
    Apologies if I’ve offended the hyper sensitive.

    Trinity secretary contacted Dave who got extremely angry and threatened him personal harm…

    There does seem to be an underlying theme?

    Renne,I felt your post appeared to mock Mr Hilton’s issues that he has opened up about and was unfair..

    Fine. That’s not a problem. Cheers.
