Like most, got a lot of time for Michelle. So, I’m going to take her word for it that nothing was signed/agreed.
For me this does put a LOT more in the negative column for fc100000. Utter amateur omnishambles from them to even start being billy big spuds about agreements in principle (and the rest).
I do have niggles in the back of my mind that maybe some fibs are being told to calm things down.
Personally, I would have no problems at all with a club/trust run membership scheme. I could be imagining it but I thought there used to be one. I’m sure I used to have a little laminated card with passport photo on it. Maybe it was for something else.
I want to wake up tomorrow forgetting any of this happened.
