Wow! I asked a straightforward question and I await an answer. I will simplify it even more so all that is required is a "YES" or a "NO", Do you think that the members of the board of directors should out of their own pockets subsidise the cost of the trip to Stevenage? YES or N...

So Oldun can take a post and have a pop at me - espy another attack on the board It was a suggestion on how the board could help people out and win a few friends I dont have a problem with people having a different view but some just want to create their own little pop Just say you dont support the ...

andgarod

I have a question about this topic. Which is it? Do those who advocate this want the BOD to agree to take money out to the club "kitty" to help pay for supporters to travel to Stevenage or is the proposal that the Directors themselves should dig into their own pockets and personally subsi...

Simple suggestion other clubs do this kind of thing

Anyone would think you are an old board member

So why not back your players and manager and club
And no way is there an e spy

agree with Robins post above
COYR

andgarod

he did not tinker last night

Well done everyone

andgarod

I am sure they could refund those that purchased them

andgarod

Just a thought DC wants the away end full
Perhaps the board could subsidise the travel on Saturday
Regulars a £5 non regular £10
Come on the board

“Well intentioned amateurs.” What a bloody insult to them. They all have specific backgrounds so not exactly amateurs. What do you make of the directors of other clubs of similar footing then? So no one else is allowed to help Plenty of people in the terraces have as much if not more experience tha...

In the past I have washed the seats Helped change sponsorship boards Helped painting the nest and various other bits and pieces So I assume pitch is being relaid -is it What if anything is being done at seasons to improve Is there a new kit coming in if so when is the launch Buy season tickets when ...

I was in the ground from 2pm To see/hear the awards I left about 10 minutes after the full time whistle I did not at any time hear any anti bloxham or board chanting Where and when was it Was it from those who dont back the team/players when having a bad dad In my opinion we need 2 or 2 more personn...

andgarod

So after last weeks spat will we see DOF or CEO
What is DC thoughts on the 2 position

Bring in a CEO but nobody to do the work other than himself
DOF will this upset the manager assuming he stays

Milton to be DOF is the easy option but who knows -it probably saves a bit of money

andgarod

If DC is going to go lets make sure its early and we have someone lined up I dont think he will go as he will have unfinished business Will/would Ian Barraclough step up it would seem obvious assuming he was still here Meanwhile our scouting and lists will yet again suffer if there is no one at the ...

andgarod

kinsella could have taken one in their half

andgarod

Nuttall did OK
If he was offered a contract then I think he will tell them where to shove it

andgarod

so it looks like lge 2 next season DC is he a tinkerman or is he just trying Will DC be here next season Who is going to be doing the signings On contract for next season Harris Freestone Bond Kinsella Keena No idea if Harris is good enough for lge 2 Bond - sell in the summer -under used by tinkerma...

andgarod

can I suggest that both RCS and Robin are coopted on to the board or at least put their thoughts etc in writing to the board and cc the trust I dont know if either are shareholders if not buy a couple of hundred about £200 or get them cheap from Mr Baker Just on the seats selling out I accept that o...

We may be 100+ yrs old but we only have a 25yr history in the FL If a few of the good people of Chetenhamshire sold their houses in Evesham Rd and gave the money to the Robins how long would that last So say we had Superdry / Dunkerton invest then it goes belly up then what Spirax Sarco or Mira are ...

I bit like the Tom Watt show at times £12m stand will not happen but no alternative plan Seasons we bought it but cannot do very much with it 400000 public not only are they rugby supporters you are trying to convert prem league team supporters to little old Cheltenham As someone said 25 years ago w...

The Hazelwood can be split easily above the gang way
All those nearest canteen could then use those facilities

A bit of netting and stewards would split it
So along with the CF that would be about 1000
If there is no need then you can sell the CF or the Hazelwood
or have a neutral area

andgarod

so we are the cheap skates
No surprise there
So does this mean that we never get offered the more expensive players because the agents know we will not pay
or
we dont even try

Lets hear how our recruitment works

andgarod

Clarke got it wrong Thomas starting so we completely change the team and formation but did we once play to Thomas and feet Nuttall was being well looked after but that meant we well not getting the ball Nuttall was getting ironic cheers but he had no support Clarke is blaming the players but he is t...

andgarod

I agree with the above however we are told there are lists and lists The board has a part to play as they set the budget then break the budget when DC asks for a more expensive player or a longer contract Also what ground work is there going to be Hopefully after the next 3 games we can look at gett...

andgarod

it will be down to
DC
Rusty
Agents and the board

DC has been around long enough to know the agents that will be putting their players in the shop window
However we need to know where we are playing

Recently we have seen on this forum for the board to give an indication of their ambition What is the ambition of the Trust I assume it is to have the majority of shares in the club I assume that the FED is in effect the largest shareholder on the board Check how many shares the board members hold A...

andgarod

Disagree, Andgarod. Paul was a champion and a supporter of the Trust from Day One. Regarding Bryan's legacy, we put three options to the membership. One of those was to invest nothing, one was to make a £100,000 investment, and the final was to make the £200,000 investment. As it came at a time whe...

andgarod

hmm it will all be in the detail Baker was never keen for the trust although it did start while he was chairman He said a place on the board was £100000 but when the trust had £200000 approx (thank you Bryan Jacobs) the price went up to £200000 Bakers influence might be declining but the current cha...

andgarod

Thank you for picking the bones out of the podcast I do find it over long and only saying what is said in commentary At least JP brings something new I assume George LLoyd is off so a couple of thoughts I agree with the last couple of posts poor goal return We have offered him a new contract so will...

andgarod

I have asked in the past how many of the directors hold more than 1000 shares ( cost of 1000 shares about £2000) The major shareholders and I have not checked recently Keswick Caribbean Baker and the Trust The trust only has a very limited cash So its down to the other 3 So they have say £450K holdi...

andgarod

Have I missed an announcement about this match

andgarod

I am not going to blame nuttall
he did not do much but what did we expect
The problem is that the team gets pushed back in the last 10 if our opponents are chasing the game
We don't have subs that can change the game
Thomas is a money maker as is Ferry
can we cash in bond

andgarod

6 days or 6 weeks having just about recovered from a rupture calf muscle done getting g into car and2 visits to a and e including scan and xray plus I could not walk for 5 weeks and another 5 for the pain to go now need to build up I assume a player is managed better than NHS but Taylor and street o...

andgarod

I understood that Councillor Baker was no loner on the board although he may be the string puller

andgarod

so we are being told there will be a substantial loss for 22/23 Cannot recall if we sold anyone but I assume the loss includes a chunk for buying seasons and increased interest rates as well as higher utilities Lets just wait and see what is published and the boards explanation I assume the £600K sa...

Fact check
RCS says Robins not good with numbers

The podcast is 51 minutes not 40 but you can listen to it in parts
A good listen - if that makes sense
