For me, the only owners in recent years to state why they bought the club were Terry Brady's consortium. They said from day one it was to develop the ground & when they found it wasn't viable they pulled out. At least they were up front.

Why has the new Board bought us? Is it to develop the ground & make money? Or, to create a concert venue? Is it simply their new train set so they can have some fun?
I know we had no choice in who bought us as we were going into administration but it would be nice to know their motive.

It would stop speculation & daft rumours.

Your impromptu comments are immature, inaccurate and misguided.

The current STFC owners have no doubt inherited a mess from the previous owners and have to clean up the crap they left.

The current owners cannot legislate the embargo being lifted when they want. There is protocol they have to follow and only the football league can be blamed for the delay as usual!

The current owners are not legally obliged to inform you of every step as they do not have the facts due to the delays. What makes you so important glory hunters that just insist on promotion and personal greed.

You pay your season ticket to be loyal to the club and watch football regularly not to insist that the club goes into debt to satisfy your greed and wishes for constant success.

If you do not like it, sit at home and watch Man Utd, Chelsea on Sky. You are not the generation that was patient like my generation and finally enjoyed success with Macari's, Ardiles and Hoddle.

These outstanding issues have not been created by the new owners but by the outgoing people. The unpaid bills will have been down to them. In any acquisition there is always some clearing up to do and the former owners will have had to put some money into what is called an escrow account for this. However, they then need to agree to using it to clear any outstanding debts. It takes a bit of time and shouldn't have happened.
Having been involved in some acquisitions myself I know that it does happen.
Let's not call the new owners a bunch of amateurs at this point in time. I think they are well meaning and so far have done a lot of good things. Probably need to address the comments to the last lot.

I think they have answered the question as to why they bought the club:

They are football fans that have a connection with Luton and they wanted to help prevent another club going the same way. I am guessing that they have been ready for such a take over for a while and have been waiting for the situation to arise. If, and I say IF, this is the case then they should be applauded.

The embargo seems to be have been in place initially because of unpaid fees, which have now been paid, this we do know. What we don't know is what the other reasons are, which Murrell says have now been resolved.

It could be that they are unable to talk about the "other reasons" hence the lack of information. It could be to do with Picaretta and Co, as Grim suggests, or with Paolo or with a former player.

It is frustrating not knowing but I believe we should give these guys a chance. If they are in for the footballing reasons we should hopefully see them running the club more within its means so we don't see it in the same precarious position again.

The concerts are one of the ideas put forward so far and rather than be ridiculed they should be applauded (we don't have to attend them). They could provide a decent income that will help provide that striker we need or a Holland's type midfielder.

A month ago we nearly didn't have a club at all . Real supporters should realise what we've been through over the past few years. I still love my club and I'm very grateful for this gang for saving it from administration . Next week we will get a few new players through the door , until then please just have a little patience . By the way has anybody else heard one of our secret backers is a very rich Arab , or is it just the Daily Mail making up stories again.

And why do you think that there are negative comments ?
It's because the new board aren't exactly being up front with all the info letting things drag on & on and leaving us in the dark
Just because they saved us it isn't a case of job done happy ever after and always be in there debt !
No chance ,Now sort out the day to day running of the club properly.
Nick Watkins should never have been allowed to leave without letting this new rabble bed in properly
So if having a moan about the way our club is being run makes people feel better what's the problem ?

I think we need some humour to lighten the tone,


A guy was getting ready to tee off on the first hole when a second golfer approached and asked if he could join him. The first said that he usually played alone, but agreed to the twosome.


They were even after the first few holes. The second guy said, "We're about evenly matched, how about playing for five bucks a hole?"


The first guy said that he wasn't much for betting, but agreed to the terms.


The second guy won the remaining sixteen holes with ease.

As they were walking off number eighteen, the second guy was busy counting his $80.00.

He confessed that he was the pro at a neighboring course and liked to pick on suckers.


The first fellow revealed that he was the Parish Priest.


The pro was flustered and apologetic, offering to return the money. The Priest said, "You won fair and square and I was foolish to bet with you. You keep your winnings.."

The pro said, "Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?"


The Priest said, "Well, you could come to Mass on Sunday and make a donation......And, if you want to bring your mother and father along, I'll marry them.

VERN'S FUNERAL


Vern works hard at the Phone Company but spends
Two nights each week bowling, and plays golf every
Saturday.

His wife thinks he's pushing himself too hard,
So for his birthday she takes him to a local
Strip club.


The doorman at the club greets them and says,
"Hey, Vern! How ya doin?"

His wife is puzzled and asks if he's
been to This club before.

"Oh no," says Vern. "He's in my bowling league ."

When they are seated, a waitress asks Vern
If he'd like his usual and brings over a Budweiser.


His wife is becoming increasingly uncomfortable
And says, "How did she know that you drink Budweiser?"

"I recognize her, she's the waitress from the golf club.
I always have a Bud at the end of the 1st nine, honey."

A stripper then comes over to their table, throws her
Arms around Vern, starts to rub herself all Over him and says...
"Hi Vern. Want your usual table dance, big boy?"

Vern's wife, now furious,


Grabs her purse and
Storms out of the club.

Vern follows and spots her getting into a cab.
Before she can slam the door, he jumps in
Beside her.


Vern tries desperately to explain how the stripper
Must have mistaken him for someone else,
But his wife is having none of it.

She is screaming at him at the top of her lungs,
Calling him every 4 letter word in the book..

The cabby turns around and says,

'Geez Vern, you picked up a real **** this time.'

Vern's funeral is on Tuesday.

Man Rules

At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down
Finally , the guys' side of the story.
( I must admit, it's pretty good.)
We always hear "the rules"
From the female side.
Now here are the rules from the male side.

These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "
ON PURPOSE!
1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question..

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.. That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.
In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.


1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials..

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that.

Yes Collins and Williams aren't in red hot form, but the abuse on here is over the top, and obviously KMac recognises it as he has some strikers lined up.

Why do people need to post 200 times that they have concerns over the new board and manager and stikers etc etc, say your piece by all means but not every hour on the hour.

I believe we need to show some faith in the new owners and manager. By the looks of it we don't have anywhere near the same financial backing as we had with the previous board, but to be honest looking at the longish term im not sure that really matters. We have seen what can happen when a rich benefactor pulls the plug and personnally I don't mind if I never see that happen again. If the owners plan to run the club on a sustainable bugetted basis (without running up debts that cannot be covered) and we maybe have to go one step backwards (ie missing out on promotion this season) to take two steps forwards then personally I would take that. I'm going to wait and see what happens regarding the concerts for example. If a few in close season can bring in a few hundred grand then that could help with wages of a couple of decent first teamers. The owners may be inexperienced in pro football but do have some amatuer with Banbury. Im looking at that as a kind of work experience, now they are stepping up to do things in the big leagues. Can they do it? - I hope and will wait and see. Although not the most communicative so far I wonder how much they can really say in the early days anyway when a lot of things must seem a bit up in the air for them and need time for things to bed down. I can't see how it would be worthwhile trying to asset strip us as in all honesty we don't really have much in the way of high value assets. I hope that KM can start to develop more players at the club going forwards, maybe having to sell one star a season or so to help with other wages etc. Other clubs have managed to be sensible in the championship without going crazy with debt. If the board and the manager have a few good ideas then no reason why we can't too. Until we can sort the stadium the revenue (or lack of) issues that comes with it means its highly unlikely we can ever do a Reading, Swansea or Wigan. In this day and age, how many people can afford to give a L1 team £25m for a new stadium? Unless an abberation occurs short term then I'm going to assess them all at the end of next season....
PS - anyone know if the Yeovil game is all ticket?

I will tell you why!!!! its called freedom of speech and just because it does not conform to your thoughts so what, they are entitled to their opinions as you are. Nothing is black and white and no one on here has the god given right to be correct so let people air their views as that is what debate is all about. One thing I would like to add is that keeping the fans so ill informed is one of the causes of all these so called negative issues you mention, when the club really should be out to put fans minds at rest in such times of the embargo that is my opinion and believe this would have stopped the many questions being asked.

and you point is???? if there is one thing worse than READING not listening to supports moaning on here, is READING the views of moaners like you moaning about the moaners. Nothing constructive in your post except you moan about the moaners because their opinion is not the same as yours.

For FS get a life and have a bit of tolerance and realise not every one views the world through rose tinted glasses, If half the supporters think everything is up front with the new board that is absolutely fine by me, if the other half have their doubts and concerns and want to come on here and express their views that's also fine (to most at least except for the few like you that think their opinions are the only ones that matter)..

If we didn't have different points of view what would be the point of having a forum if every poster said the same thing, how boring would that be.

By the way, if you don't like sitting next to fellow supporters that are vocal, I'm glad I don't have a seat by you in the county ground you must be a bundle of laughs to be around, why do you bother, if it's so painful go up the A420, I'm sure they would welcome you, but I think you'll find all football grounds will have the same type of fans shouting at incompetent refs and players that don't put their heart and soul in to it.

He has as many years in football as probably anyone, and has had 3 games here with a threadbare squad yet he is dubbed 'the new Maurice Malpas' as he doesn't Riverdance round the dugout or rant like Di Canio and has had a look at formations and also a look at Ferry wide right. Unbelievable!

Constant sniping and criticism of the board who have saved our club and are picking up the pieces.....Yes to an extent the new board maybe apart from Hooper are amatuers - they are businessmen who are football fans. Not 'professional football club owners'. They are learning as they go along.

Yes Collins and Williams aren't in red hot form, but the abuse on here is over the top, and obviously KMac recognises it as he has some strikers lined up.

Why do people need to post 200 times that they have concerns over the new board and manager and stikers etc etc, say your piece by all means but not every hour on the hour.

That`s what i was saying Wilesy,dont go to the doctors about it though!

I call them the Conclave of Doomster's chaps!waiting for the Black Smoke,over the County Ground!lol!!!!!!!

I will tell you why!!!! its called freedom of speech and just because it does not conform to your thoughts so what, they are entitled to their opinions as you are. Nothing is black and white and no one on here has the god given right to be correct so let people air their views as that is what debate is all about. One thing I would like to add is that keeping the fans so ill informed is one of the causes of all these so called negative issues you mention, when the club really should be out to put fans minds at rest in such times of the embargo that is my opinion and believe this would have stopped the many questions being asked.

Yeah ok we have heard it a million times and i can say that because its my opinion.

same as

Monday should be an interesting day then fellow supporters. Will we be laughing all the way to Yeovil come Tuesday?

It would be nice if those fans with misgivings at present could have their minds put to rest by the board, hopefully in the very near future.

Fantastic set of results. Just shows there is no consistency at the top of the table at all. A win against Yeovil and it lines up a great end to the season. Bring it on! Even the doom merchants have to feel a bit better.

Doncaster Drew at home, Tranmere and Sheff U lost heavily, and Walsall only drew at home thats 4 good results for us don't you think. Brentford scored in the 94 minute with another penalty so it would have been even better. Better still the pox lost at home.

How children perceive their grandparents
1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!"
I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye....

2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 80.
My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"

3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin.
Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings.
As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"

4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods"
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?"
I mentally polished my halo and I said, "No, how are we alike?''
"You're both old," he replied.

6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story.
"What's it about?" he asked.
"I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."

7. I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct.. It was fun for me, so I continued.
At last, she headed for the door, saying, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these colors yourself!"

8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."

9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised "Mine says I'm 4 to 6.."

10.. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today."
The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting." she said.. "How do you make babies?"
"It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'I and add 'es'."

11. Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant."
The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked.
"Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."

12. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.

"They use him to keep crowds back," said one child.

"No," said another. "He's just for good luck."

A third child brought the argument to a close."They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants."

13. A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. "Oh," he said, "she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport."

14.. Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but I don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him!

15. My Grandparents are funny, when they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they blame their dog.

Wiz, you brought a smile to my face with some of those, keep it up.

It is very noticeable that regular well respected poster like yourself and Den have removed yourselves from the debate of the credentials of the new board, As Steve from Brentford said make your views known and no reason to repeat them, because end of the day nothing is going to change.

Personally I applaud those that are optimistic, but as a pensioner I have to make a big decision before March 31st to renew 4 season tickets Can I afford £800 on the basis I actually don't know in which direction our club is going. Maybe, but before the moaners of the moaners respond, it's my money, my decision, so leave it out, at the end of the day I enjoy spending my time with my son and grand children and whether that is taking them to the ice hockey instead of SN1 will depend on the preference of my family and when I see light at the end of the tunnel that the new board are serious with their intentions.

Still not convinced but remain optimistic.

These outstanding issues have not been created by the new owners but by the outgoing people. The unpaid bills will have been down to them.

However, they then need to agree to using it to clear any outstanding debts. It takes a bit of time and shouldn't have happened.

Let's not call the new owners a bunch of amateurs at this point in time. I think they are well meaning and so far have done a lot of good things. Probably need to address the comments to the last lot.

OTR,

I'm staying right out of it, and probably don't have the right to comment as due to events elsewhere I shall not be renewing my S/T, in fact not likely to be at CG for the remainder of this season either, but that doesn't prevent me from hoping all things good for the future of the team and the club.

Eastmidred,

Take no notice of Grim's comments he's got a picarretta up his arse and hopefully he will soon experience a irrigation to clear his brain.

Thought your reply to joeyboy was well thought out and you have not been abusive as many on here are and I'm sure Joey appreciated the alternative view.

In any acquisition there is always some clearing up to do and the former owners will have had to put some money into what is called an escrow account for this. However, they then need to agree to using it to clear any outstanding debts. It takes a bit of time and shouldn't have happened.
Having been involved in some acquisitions myself I know that it does happen.
Let's not call the new owners a bunch of amateurs at this point in time. I think they are well meaning and so far have done a lot of good things. Probably need to address the comments to the last lot.

So black has paid picaretta and his mob then?
Don't talk rubbish

Eastmidred,

Take no notice of Grim's comments he's got a picarretta up his arse and hopefully he will soon experience a irrigation to clear his brain.

Thought your reply to joeyboy was well thought out and you have not been abusive as many on here are and I'm sure Joey appreciated the alternative view.

Oh sorry I thought I was helping you pay for your season ticket lol.

I didn't think I deserved abuse from a pensioner.
Just goes to show. Mind you the budgets coming up soon.
Onwards and upwards

Very racist and don't think many people on this forum would appreciate
That kind of vile abuse you have gave me.
In fact before your comment I was going to say you couldn't put time with your family before anything including swindle town.
Also as a none willo fan I just said I fancy a £10 on him to score 3 goals on Tuesday
So if that's being negative I'm sorry,
Or perhaps I am different coming from a country outside the u.k which I a right to claim all benefits if not more than you.
Onwards and upwards
Sorry maybe a start?
Just hope people read my comments above and then they can judge
A town can or a racist?

Grim, I love haggis and scotch whisky and all the scots I have met who live north of the border were brilliant. Yes there are a few dubious characters that come South but actually I cannot think of too many that have given me too much aggro

Think you are winding me up, Didn't think you would take a passing comment of being a Jock so seroius, if you want to pledge your allegiance to your adopted home I hope you will wear your St George flag next week.

How children perceive their grandparents
1. She was in the bathroom, putting on her makeup, under the watchful eyes of her young granddaughter, as she'd done many times before. After she applied her lipstick and started to leave, the little one said, "But Grandma, you forgot to kiss the toilet paper good-bye!"
I will probably never put lipstick on again without thinking about kissing the toilet paper good-bye....

2. My young grandson called the other day to wish me Happy Birthday. He asked me how old I was, and I told him, 80.
My grandson was quiet for a moment, and then he asked, "Did you start at 1?"

3. After putting her grandchildren to bed, a grandmother changed into old slacks and a droopy blouse and proceeded to wash her hair. As she heard the children getting more and more rambunctious, her patience grew thin.
Finally, she threw a towel around her head and stormed into their room, putting them back to bed with stern warnings.
As she left the room, she heard the three-year-old say with a trembling voice, "Who was THAT?"

4. A grandmother was telling her little granddaughter what her own childhood was like. "We used to skate outside on a pond. I had a swing made from a tire; it hung from a tree in our front yard. We rode our pony. We picked wild raspberries in the woods"
The little girl was wide-eyed, taking this all in. At last she said, "I sure wish I'd gotten to know you sooner!"

5. My grandson was visiting one day when he asked, "Grandma, do you know how you and God are alike?"
I mentally polished my halo and I said, "No, how are we alike?''
"You're both old," he replied.

6. A little girl was diligently pounding away on her grandfather's word processor. She told him she was writing a story.
"What's it about?" he asked.
"I don't know," she replied. "I can't read."

7. I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct.. It was fun for me, so I continued.
At last, she headed for the door, saying, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these colors yourself!"

8. When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."

9. When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised "Mine says I'm 4 to 6.."

10.. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today."
The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting." she said.. "How do you make babies?"
"It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'I and add 'es'."

11. Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant."
The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked.
"Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."

12. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.

"They use him to keep crowds back," said one child.

"No," said another. "He's just for good luck."

A third child brought the argument to a close."They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants."

13. A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. "Oh," he said, "she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport."

14.. Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but I don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him!

15. My Grandparents are funny, when they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they blame their dog.

Wiz, you brought a smile to my face with some of those, keep it up.

It is very noticeable that regular well respected poster like yourself and Den have removed yourselves from the debate of the credentials of the new board, As Steve from Brentford said make your views known and no reason to repeat them, because end of the day nothing is going to change.

Personally I applaud those that are optimistic, but as a pensioner I have to make a big decision before March 31st to renew 4 season tickets Can I afford £800 on the basis I actually don't know in which direction our club is going. Maybe, but before the moaners of the moaners respond, it's my money, my decision, so leave it out, at the end of the day I enjoy spending my time with my son and grand children and whether that is taking them to the ice hockey instead of SN1 will depend on the preference of my family and when I see light at the end of the tunnel that the new board are serious with their intentions.

Still not convinced but remain optimistic.

OTR, I decided to refrain from further comment on the new regime until one of them said something of substance. We've still received nothing. "Unseen issues?" Does that mean that the new owners are going to be seeking redress from Black and co for non disclosure of information related to the club when they bought it? I doubt it very much. These problems must be serious if they have prevented the club from signing players, so I think it's important that they are explained to the supporters - without whom there would be no football club.

I have asked the Football League for clarification of the "unforeseen issues". Unsurprisingly they told me (today) that they cannot comment on any matter relating to clubs or transfer embargoes. I knew that anyway, so - in anticipation of that reply - I asked if perhaps they could tell me, in general terms, what circumstances could lead to an embargo. Alas, they could not/would not comment - and I do understand their reluctance. They have told me that I should ask the club. I have done that, although I doubt very much whether we'll get any straight answers, as the club prefers to speak in riddles.

Like you, I'm unconvinced but, unlike you, I won't be optimistic until the club stops using the smoke and mirrors to communicate with the fans.

10.. A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies today."
The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting." she said.. "How do you make babies?"
"It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'I and add 'es'."

11. Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant."
The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked.
"Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."

12. A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.

"They use him to keep crowds back," said one child.

"No," said another. "He's just for good luck."

A third child brought the argument to a close."They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants."

13. A 6-year-old was asked where his grandma lived. "Oh," he said, "she lives at the airport, and when we want her, we just go get her. Then, when we're done having her visit, we take her back to the airport."

14.. Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things, but I don't get to see him enough to get as smart as him!

15. My Grandparents are funny, when they bend over, you hear gas leaks and they blame their dog.

Wiz, you brought a smile to my face with some of those, keep it up.

It is very noticeable that regular well respected poster like yourself and Den have removed yourselves from the debate of the credentials of the new board, As Steve from Brentford said make your views known and no reason to repeat them, because end of the day nothing is going to change.

Personally I applaud those that are optimistic, but as a pensioner I have to make a big decision before March 31st to renew 4 season tickets Can I afford £800 on the basis I actually don't know in which direction our club is going. Maybe, but before the moaners of the moaners respond, it's my money, my decision, so leave it out, at the end of the day I enjoy spending my time with my son and grand children and whether that is taking them to the ice hockey instead of SN1 will depend on the preference of my family and when I see light at the end of the tunnel that the new board are serious with their intentions.

Still not convinced but remain optimistic.

OTR, I decided to refrain from further comment on the new regime until one of them said something of substance. We've still received nothing. "Unseen issues?" Does that mean that the new owners are going to be seeking redress from Black and co for non disclosure of information related to the club when they bought it? I doubt it very much. These problems must be serious if they have prevented the club from signing players, so I think it's important that they are explained to the supporters - without whom there would be no football club.

I have asked the Football League for clarification of the "unforeseen issues". Unsurprisingly they told me (today) that they cannot comment on any matter relating to clubs or transfer embargoes. I knew that anyway, so - in anticipation of that reply - I asked if perhaps they could tell me, in general terms, what circumstances could lead to an embargo. Alas, they could not/would not comment - and I do understand their reluctance. They have told me that I should ask the club. I have done that, although I doubt very much whether we'll get any straight answers, as the club prefers to speak in riddles.

Like you, I'm unconvinced but, unlike you, I won't be optimistic until the club stops using the smoke and mirrors to communicate with the fans.

and you point is???? if there is one thing worse than READING not listening to supports moaning on here, is READING the views of moaners like you moaning about the moaners. Nothing constructive in your post except you moan about the moaners because their opinion is not the same as yours. For FS get a life and have a bit of tolerance and realise not every one views the world through rose tinted glasses, If half the supporters think everything is up front with the new board that is absolutely fine by me, if the other half have their doubts and concerns and want to come on here and express their views that's also fine (to most at least except for the few like you that think their opinions are the only ones that matter).. If we didn't have different points of view what would be the point of having a forum if every poster said the same thing, how boring would that be. By the way, if you don't like sitting next to fellow supporters that are vocal, I'm glad I don't have a seat by you in the county ground you must be a bundle of laughs to be around, why do you bother, if it's so painful go up the A420, I'm sure they would welcome you, but I think you'll find all football grounds will have the same type of fans shouting at incompetent refs and players that don't put their heart and soul in to it. Rant over,

Yet the FL let Pompey ship players in and out weekly why???? this ruling for them as they owe mega money
All I can say is STFC must have done something really bad in the past???? and if so with this embargo thing why did they santion the deal??????for the club sale.
No I for one is fed up with this daily c---p don´t know who is at fault yet we still do not have the TRUTH.

Spot on

The new board have saved the club from administration and are working very hard to get the club out of the embargo that the OLD BOARD put use in...

But not all on here are moaners some do understand BUT other think the new board must throw millions in 2 the club...

We are only a small club with a small fan base SO MONEY MUST BE LOOKED AFTER VERY CAREFULLY...

DO STFC WONT 2BE THE NEXT POMPEY ???

Here their moaning is probably justified, and almost mandatory in fact compulsory and they will be in their element, rolling around in a forum which is full of moaners, a sort of home for them if you like. The club has little point of existence, they are sliding down the table with almost nowhere to going other than Blue Square/Conference, the owners are more into the oval ball game and the stadium as we know only has three sides, no ambition and no decent players and really no direction. In this place they should feel completely at home, and whats more they are welcome to it.

The owners must know the League's reasoning because they must know what they have to do to get the embargo removed. What is the problem with communicating it to the fans, the lifeblood of the club?

Point taken Steve. I did say I wouldn't post again on the subject, as I do know how boring I get sometimes. I lasted a couple of days but got tempted back because someone mentioned me by name. I think what happens is that on both sides of the argument everyone thinks it's the other side that's repeating itself, so it becomes an endless t1t for tat.

My last post did have a slightly different slant on it though. I was just trying to explain that it's more about communication than wanting money thrown at the club, which Daz seemed to suggest.

Daz, I think you have a point. All clubs tell you what they want you to know. Our previous owners were quite careful about what they said to us. For instance, we had quite a bit of bullshiit/avoiding the question from them over ground redevelopment. It's just that this lot seem to do it all the time.

Yes Steve. We'll wait and see. In the meantime I really will shut up.
