Correct - same as when Swindon (I recall it was..) were slow to pay us our share of the gate from a match we played at the County Ground, etc etc.vcinthestand wrote:no I suspect it is the ones who dont honour their debts - just guessing
Simple question do GCFC owe money to CTFC?
That is something you'll recall I once suggested that Cheltenham fans do, on provision GCAFC have a clear plan to pay future rent and have a feasible plan to exit Whaddon Road when the current deal expires.Neil wrote:Why don't you save up all your pounds, give it to City and then we can pay you. Even go as far as a tenner each from 2000 diehards that you supposedly have and we can pay off the rent
You really are clutching at straws, this thread has been running for a week and now you have to bring up an incident that happened about 15 years ago, is that your best justification for not paying the rent money; how bloody pathetic.Neil wrote:This is all a bit two faced coming from supporters of the club who fell behind with their payments for Jason Eaton and had to throw in a player to make up the shortfall in the end.
Still, you've all forgotten where you've come from haven't you.
No, the Chairman of the very well run football league club Cheltenham Town has told the thousands of fans by various methods of media that Gloucester will NOT kick a ball in Whaddon Road until their debt has been cleared.Neil wrote:How do you know which companies do or don't owe CTFC money? Do they publish this kind of information in the match day programme?
Merely pointing out to some of your own fans that people who live in glass houses shouldn't really throw stones. I hardly think it's pathetic Dave. Pathetic is running to the nearest polic...

But that's only one, I was referring to the others that aren't currently paid in full to CTFC.Pie wrote:No, the Chairman of the very well run football league club Cheltenham Town has told the thousands of fans by various methods of media that Gloucester will NOT kick a ball in Whaddon Road until their debt has been cleared.Neil wrote:How do you know which companies do or don't owe CTFC money?

Is that not clear enough for you to grasp?
We are Cheltenham we pay when we want.Neil wrote:http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigerimage ... 029503528/
There you go, you can pipe down about being owed money because your own club set the precedent. I should be a lawyer.
So, was the debt paid???? Answer yes! Now i dont want any of your players but maybe Glos city should consider slashing their wage bill and if that means playing a youth team and getting smashed every game, BUT it secures the long term future of the club, then surely thats a better option than ending up with no club!!Neil wrote:This is all a bit two faced coming from supporters of the club who fell behind with their payments for Jason Eaton and had to throw in a player to make up the shortfall in the end.

Oh in sure the likes of Mira, Hazelwoods, Liberty, stagecoach etc, who of course all have very small incomes, are all struggling to meet the agreements in their respective contracts regarding sponsorship. Infact they probably all owe money, millions! And so GCAFC's debt is minuscule and doesn't matter.Neil wrote:But that's only one, I was referring to the others that aren't currently paid in full to CTFC.Pie wrote:No, the Chairman of the very well run football league club Cheltenham Town has told the thousands of fans by various methods of media that Gloucester will NOT kick a ball in Whaddon Road until their debt has been cleared.Neil wrote:How do you know which companies do or don't owe CTFC money?

No matter how you try to dress it up, it happened. This has happened too and the boot is on the other foot. It could be fair to suggest that Judas was the player that was the catalyst to the success that your club had so in essence CTFC's rise was built on a bad debt.C.V wrote:Couldnt have been that serious we have had many players since then i.e. Watkins Freeman to name a few.Even going the other way there was Jimmmy Smith now theres a strange one didnt he have problems getting paid by Gloucester.If l remember right he was at the end of his career here and couldnt believe the money Glos were going to pay him.Sadly they did there normal thing and didnt come up with the money.

Maybe Eaton should come along to the friendly in a peace ceremony to end the war.Neil wrote:We'll I'm pleased that my reminder about CTFC's inability to pay the remainder of the £19,000 for Judas Eaton has won the thread.

Yes Neil. I for one demand that Paul Baker resign as Chairman with immediate effect for failing acknowledge this event in his dealings with GCAFC. What kind of Chairman could fail to remember an event that happened nearly 20 years ago when both clubs had different chairmen? Who can forget the 10 year transfer embargo that was placed on Cheltenham and FA taking away our Trophy win because of this episode. How soon the riots in the streets of Gloucester and Cheltenham over Eatongate slip from the memory. When will we Cheltenham supporters acknowledge the intervention of the then Prime Minister in resolving this episode? Why is it that this case had to go before the United Nations? Disgraceful. Not only should Cheltenham write-off Gloucester's debt for playing at Whaddon Road, they should pay Gloucester £40,000 a year in reparations. Until the end of time. And it's all thanks to you Neil!Neil wrote:We'll I'm pleased that my reminder about CTFC's inability to pay the remainder of the £19,000 for Judas Eaton has won the thread.

Case closed - more evidence to disprove the spin and b*llsh*t.MarkHalliwell wrote:Just pulling this in from another thread, from Paul Godfrey:
Incidentally, I've been having a closed season tidy up in the office this week and when going through some old player files I came across the Jason Eaton transfer from Gloucester City. The fee was £15,000 and of this, £12,000 was paid upon registration in October 1992 with another £3,000 due at the end of the season. There is no note as to when this was settled but my recollection is that there was a bit of to-ing and fro-ing about whether it would be paid in cash or a player exchange and it got sorted out before the start of the next season with Paul Bloomfield joining City.
Was Colin Peake not just last week saying the Citizen was wrong?Neil wrote:Not saying the Citizen is wrong there are you Mark?
Paul Bloomfield was worth at least £10k, so we actually did you a favour.Neil wrote:Fair enough.MarkHalliwell wrote:Just passing the info on.
In any case, the Eaton move was five years before I joined.
It's ok for everyone here to relax and admit that CTFC can be the bad guy too.
