Popular Post bert tann Posted September 6, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 6, 2023 Further up the pages there is some confusion about the role of the secretary which I hope I can clarify. The company secretary deals with corporate governance and is responsible for filing relevant documents at Companies House. The club secretary deals with football matters and is responsible for filing relevant documents with the football authorities. The personal secretary deals with personal matters and is responsible for keeping senior management satisfied. As an example of the latter I've inserted a 1957 vintage photograph of my own personal secretary Marjorie receiving the news that I was on my way back from Liverpool with a point in the bag. 2 30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I have no doubt they will get planning , but it puts the whole office in a bad light that they carry on regardless. If that was you or me, or some chancer they would probably make us tear it down. I hope they really make them jump through hoops just for their arrogance and twattish behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreedyHarry Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 5 hours ago, bcfc01 said: Supporters and Radio Bristol saying how dark it was in that corner due to the lights being partially obscured by the roof of the stand... Ah they have this covered. If you look closely the roof has concertinas in it. A bit like a horizontal shutter door would have. It’s probably made by the same company that used to do those awnings that the ex chief of Manchester police advertised. Just need to train a steward to pull the chain to open the roof up…… job done.

1960maaan Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Question for the Class. With all the chatter, and now they have lost a tent/stand/dwelling , how many seats do they have ? EFL minimum is 2,000. The only mention I can find is when they had 12,000 capacity, that is 2,500. My question is, is that all in their real stand ? How many seats do they have now ? All I can see is the new stand will increase seating by 3,000 but I can't see how many they have now they binned the old tent seating. Anyone ?

That would be amusing - but not as amusing as if their application just got thrown out & rejected, in light of their utter disregard for planning rules..... The contempt shown towards the rules that everyone else has to adhere to, is surely reason enough to reject any application and should also come with a 10 year ban on submitting any future plans for approval.... Sounds only fair to me..! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

readie14 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 The hard truth podcast new episode out today with Darragh McAnthony giving his view on the transfer window and what went on the last day . In a nutshell made a stupid offer on Wednesday and then on Thursday eventually agreed a fee on Friday in plenty of time. Peterborough filled in the transfer forms to help out(normally the buying club) kept reminding them about the extension etc and nothing forthcoming. Expects to sell JCH in January for at least the same fee but their will be several clubs after him then. Worth a listen, he was to professional to call then tinpot but reading between the lines think he was not a happy bunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Out of curiosity I have used an online inflation calculator to work out the value of something from 1992 in today's money. £370k in 1992 would work out at £773k today, so in adjusted value, signing a player for £800k would not really shatter any records or shake any grounds (assuming they intended to go ahead with the deal). The calculator works from CPI, not that footballers can be considered as household items! More luxury goods perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is true, it's almost like they didn't want to spend the money......... or didn't actually have it.... I think that is the bottom line. Didn't have the gonads to go through with it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly exceled our selves and don't do things buy halves ( except for the half built south stand). There are occasional moments on there where you can laugh with them and not at them! The day after the transfer deadline farce, when they put that old tent back up for away fans, someone remarked "who says we can't make a marquee signing"!

There I was - at work! - scrolling through this thread when the boss looks over me shoulder and says - "Misuse of company IT! You're fired!". Cheers then. I'm now at the Labour Exchange seeking new employ. I've already offered to exchange one Harold Wislon for two George Browns and a Roy Jenkins but no dice! Anyhoo - George Brown, you say? Ah yes, the notorious, pie-eyed drunkard who once propositioned a dark eyed, long skirted beauty at a party and got the reply: "How very dare you, sir, I'm the Archbishop of Montevideo!" True story. Anyhoo again, any chance you've got more of this top quality "niche" material? Perhaps we could take to a sub-forum!

Bristol Rob Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I would like guess that it was more of a gesture of intent rather than a sign of intent from the new owners. Faced with having to part with cash they went missing. If it happens again, they'll struggle to do business with any other clubs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the most amusing thing about all this, they will never understand it, and ultimately as usual it will be someone elses fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
