I think people are making their own minds up now, the club have been out there in the last two weeks with their side of the story along with the other parties who have another side.

[CMC]

No mention of this on Happy Clappers, there’s a shock!
Sounds like some people have to start talking to each other…

I think the reality was we nearly didn’t have a club.

How long are people going to cling on to this, it’s getting tiresome, if we end up playing Winterton in a league game in the future it will probably be trotted out.

[CMC]

Did anyone mention chips?

[CMC]

That’s too hard a question for him to answer..

What I’d love for him to be asked is where the money for all of this is coming from. None of his businesses have shown a profit — on paper, filed with HMRC, at least — and many have even failed to pay debts.

Hilton spent all spring trying to get loans from people he’d ripped off in the past, and when that predictably failed, he could not afford Glanford Park and the adjoining land.

Stadiums around the size of GP cost about £20-30m to build even before the price of resources began to soar. How can he afford something 10x the cost of something he couldn’t afford?

If the answer is subsidies from the town, he has a very poor track record there. (See links below for more on that).

Wages are also becoming absurd. I’ve learned that Chapman is on £1200 a week to now be a backup keeper in the NLN.

People may say that it’s Hilton’s private business and who cares so long as he funds the club, but that’s also what was said about Swann, Ron Martin at Southend, and many more. There’s going to be precious little profit should the club ground share this year, so fans are owed an explanation of how the club can spend all this money and where it comes from. If it’s debt on the club, that’s very perilous.

How can a club so skint it’s was going to scrap trainnees and bin staff to run us from axl Sunday league club office suddenly afford new land? Signs are cheap though

And more players, is this going to be another supermarket sweep like we had before?

Part of the general downsizing as we get ready for NLN.

At Boston(a club we should be looking at what to do – they imploded, nearly fell into the NPL, found a new owner)Craig Singleton seems to do lots of different roles there – Secretary, Media, Commercial, turns up doing the commentary on Radio Lincs.

That is so 1980s, making new social media accounts to make threats is the way forward.

You seem to have mistaken the fans forum for an EDL rally. Strange post.

Don’t mention the Edl around Jimmy.

Eye, Dogsthorpe and Long Sutton? Can he go and manage one of those three?

[CMC]

4 new signings and a New Ground/Training pitch, all strangely announced before a fans forum tommorow…

Posted on this thread yesterday saying people wanted the club to die, looks like it’s gone.

[CMC]

What happened to Jerry’s latest account?

[CMC]

Danny Elliott maybe if he sticks around..

[CMC]

You put your name down for Security that night?

[CMC]

Paddy Madden – one goal every 3.2 Games
Paul Hayes – one goal every 3.75 Games

Somewhere between 850 and 1000 season tickets sold, depending on who you believe, there’s a fair few waiting to see how it all turns out.

I don’t think a section of supporters can handle that just maybe some people, very possibly connected to the club, based on previous pointers, are privy to much more information than they are. The reactions are almost religious fervour and child like, as though they’re being told ‘God doesn’t exist and neither does Santa Claus’. Don’t have a problem with it myself. If they know more, so what? Why shouldn’t they let what they can out the bag?

Spot on Deerey

Yes as it was when David Hilton came in, give the guy a chance, he has been here 5 mins and it is going to take a long time to sort out the shit show he was handed!

In his own words after the Southend game “I’ve been here 10 weeks”

And people complain about mistruths on here ffs

Hope it’s being live-streamed on Jasebook.

Non-sense more like, with a smattering of ‘school reunion’.

Maybe SST can create another section – “Tavern Talk”

Having had 17 games and failed to develop anything he was at for a few months.

I expect nothing other than going to win every game from season start to its finish. Normally say 12 games before a decision needs making. But in this case 6 maximum. Tough world !!

Edited for Accuracy.

[CMC]

No idea but Labour’s theme is 13 years of Failure, we’ve had 13 weeks of it from Jimmy and that’s enough.

[CMC]

I hope to see him in the HoC calling for Jimmy Dean’s Resignation

[CMC]

I wonder if Xxx will go on either pod to talk about his specialist subject.

[CMC]

Bru podcast has had some decent people on this season, who go Scunny week in week out. Compared to the other one.

[CMC]

Not Bottesford or Gainsborough.
Winterton Rangers
Barton Town
Brigg Town
Crowle Colts(decent season in Lincs league)
And if the manager wants to visit his old stomping grounds Holbeach United(a real non league experience that), Stamford, March Town (see Holbeach)

I am happy to give Hilton a chance, but I am not going to blindly agree with everything he does. He’s a football chairman, not a cult leader.

This, although a lot are too thick to think about it.

[CMC]

Will there be a Buffet and will Jerry be pushing his way to the front as usual?
