You my friend are a gas bitch. Whenever I address you from now on you will be called bitch. I have a friend who's not in to football but a few years ago wanted to do the Dad thing and take his son to see the sags at Wembley, I told him to get a refund and I'd take him to a proper football match watching City. He got a refund and he watched a proper football match.

Bristol Rob Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Not convinced the Fewers have any real comprehension as to what the improvements they have made to the Mem is likely to equate to in terms of playing budget. Reality is, nothing at all. The new shop. Pretty sure if someone was going to buy a new shirt, they would buy one. Either from a portacabin or from a proper shop. Can't imagine they will sell any more because the shop has been given a lick of paint. As for their new bar, they might sell a few more pints on the 22 or so occasions a season they have a home game, but what is the profit on a pint? Couple of quid tops. They deserve it though. If they had anything about them they would have organised the support and demanded answers from the board, instead they have done their usual of just accepting they are tinpot and lapping it up. Probably doesn't help them that the moment anyone questions anything about the club they get called a Ted and told to go to Trashton. Idiots. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samo II Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 They might not be in active trouble, but I think it is pretty clear to see, even if you take away the rivalry and try to view it objectively, that they are in no better position to push on than any other bottom half League One team, and they’ll need something extraordinarily on the pitch to progress beyond that.

Fiale Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Kind of feel sorry for Wael. By all rights he should be watching games in a nice shiny new stadium. Him and his family entertaining friends, family and business contacts is corporate hospitality at the ground. Nice offices and a foot hold in the UK for whatever they wish to do, all with a nice football club to invest in a little (of course then a nice wad of cash from pocketing some of the mem money). Instead he was sold a dud, and I imagine his family are none to happy about it either, as selling / staying is going to tarnish their business credentials one way or the other, I expect they have no idea what to do with the club at the moment, so just treading water hoping something comes up.

If Wael leaves now he will sell the Mem to get money back to pay off the debts. They will not be out of pocket but the sags wont have a ground and be penniless. They are actively in trouble now if they do not find a buyer as they have owners who will not put money in and have spiralling debts - from what I gather anyway.

Xiled Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 From listening to Wael yesterday (and I don't make a habit of it) the family are withdrawing support, they have no plans to work on their taining ground (and will move to another temporary playing field), they will not be developing the Memorial Ground and they have no new stadium options but to keep people guessing he said they had to keep them secret. Basically he's stitching the fans up with vague promises that will ultimately deliver nothing. Exactly the same as the Nick Higgs stitch-up when he promised the Al-Qadi family that the new stadium was a done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I've just read the transcript of Wally's interview with GT. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Leaving aside the bovine excrement about legal issues preventing any discussion about options for a new ground or rebuild of the mem, the stuff about legal issues preventing discussion of the training ground is bizarre. What could possibly be preventing any discussion about the colony? Dwayne Sports own the land so no issue there. They have already held a consultation with relevant stakeholders and from what I've read the outcome was generally favourable, so no issue there. Any planning application goes immediately into the public domain. They have appointed another company to ensure all the paperwork gets done, nothing top secret there. Finally, everyone knows what makes up your average training ground. A few pitches, all weather and grass, somewhere to get changed, somewhere to park, somewhere for the physio to work and somewhere for the groundsman to keep his tools. There is absolutely nothing that I can see that is top secret about any of that. The only thing needed to get it all done is a bit of cash. Aaaahhh could that be the problem? How the sags can suck up the shite they were fed in that interview and see anything positive in it is beyond me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) How long do we think he can continue to "stand on the terraces" or "mix with the fans" before they turn nasty and he needs a security detail?

Well, judging by the fact that an `urgent meeting` has stopped him attending a charity event today where many of the six fingered ones would have been able to speak to him, my guess would be it has passed that point. Honestly, would fans of any other club take all this shit without any form of organised protest? Blackpool? Blackburn? Leyton Orient? Millwall? Hull? Still, as long as we didn`t win all`s well in g*sland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will probably open a security office, in London, with one security guard and at a cost no less than 250k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How tinpot To be fair, they took more fans to their first away game this season (Posh) than we did...and the two trips were pretty much the same distance - 172 miles vs 178 miles each way....

CodeRed Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 1 hour ago, Midlands Robin said: I've just read the transcript of Wally's interview with GT. Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Leaving aside the bovine excrement about legal issues preventing any discussion about options for a new ground or rebuild of the mem, the stuff about legal issues preventing discussion of the training ground is bizarre. What could possibly be preventing any discussion about the colony? Dwayne Sports own the land so no issue there. They have already held a consultation with relevant stakeholders and from what I've read the outcome was generally favourable, so no issue there. Any planning application goes immediately into the public domain. They have appointed another company to ensure all the paperwork gets done, nothing top secret there. Finally, everyone knows what makes up your average training ground. A few pitches, all weather and grass, somewhere to get changed, somewhere to park, somewhere for the physio to work and somewhere for the groundsman to keep his tools. There is absolutely nothing that I can see that is top secret about any of that. The only thing needed to get it all done is a bit of cash. Aaaahhh could that be the problem? How the sags can suck up the shite they were fed in that interview and see anything positive in it is beyond me. My favourite bit was where Wally insisted that "Daryll has a competitive budget" and then 30 seconds later admitted he didn't know what the budgets were for any other L1 clubs!! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 All the league 1 teams have played at home now and Sunderland, Portsmouth, Bradford, Coventry, Barnsley, Luton, Plymouth and Charlton had bigger crowds than the "bestest fans in the world" could muster up, as they say they have "outgrown the mem" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of those were verses ourselves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, great comedy value. I paraphrase but basically he said "we give DC a competitive budget but to finish in the top six he has to over achieve." That's not a competitive budget then is it Wally?

Redstoke Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Took my 8 year old son for the first time today to watch the Glos T20 blast game against Surrey this afternoon, great win and a nice afternoon out. Went for a quiet pint after the game in an unnamed boozer on Gloucester road (lad wearing city shirt) and without going into detail was told by a group of Gasheads to cover the lad up or get a hiding!! Who the **** acts like that? Not tarring them all with the same brush but FFS!! Ruined a great day out..

I was in the Essex Arms in Kingswood many moons ago with a mate (a Pompey fan) and his girlfriend, now wife - she was punched for being a City fan when some male neanderthal overheard our conversation on football....like you said, would never tar them all with the same brush but that was a dreadful evening...to punch a girl instead of two blokes was pathetic and distressing...and it wouldn’t have been right to punch a bloke...

They will not be out of pocket but the sags wont have a ground and be penniless. They are actively in trouble now if they do not find a buyer as they have owners who will not put money in and have spiralling debts - from what I gather anyway. Hadn’t realised the details; that is bleak. It will be very interesting if they struggle this year; can’t imagine they have much in the way of back-up resources were they in desperate need of reinforcements, and some of the natives seem restless already.

His point is Swansea and QPR are more desirable away games to go to. We've already sold all 2k tickets for Swans, haven't we? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
