One re-brand won’t be ‘1500 Club’, that’s for sure!

[Deereyme66]

Could be a real test. I predicted a draw. I think?

[Deereyme66]

‘what happens to the kit sponsorship money’

Only just noticed your question IFA. Don’t know for definite but I’d have thought that traditionaly, it just goes in to the club operating budget as ‘income’?

[Deereyme66]

Prediction saved: 0-1

[Deereyme66]

I-A, I’ll pay for a cab for you, SNOT and 64. Now that would be entertaining.

[Deereyme66]

You not joining the Facebook coach?

[Deereyme66]

Some to get the ball rolling. Bus Driver, Fruit & Veg Seller, Psychoanalyst, Goat Herder…

[Deereyme66]

Full of bones? Better than being full of the brown stuff like the other Kippers!

[Deereyme66]

Very possibly. Away for weekend myself. I’d imagine a lot of people are.

[Deereyme66]

Fair enough JI – apologies if I’ve got the wrong end of the stick. I didn’t think you viewed Twitter and Facebook, that’s why I raised awareness of some of the more crazy and vitriolic stuff in those spheres. My point was more to do with criticism and scepticism of the club owner being shouted down / hounded out. In a similar fashion as ‘cancel culture’. We don’t have that on Bru, and for that reason I’m wary of those posters being targeted to the extent they stop posting. The Iron Insider meltdown episode is an isolated and different matter mind.

How many do they sell daily at £1:55 a pop? Must still be profitable or they’d stop printing surely?

[Deereyme66]

I don’t know what the intentions of those posters are either JI. But I thought you were a big advocate of free speech? So I find your posts on this a bit confusing. Personally, I’m glad this is a space where they can raise these issues and discuss them (as long as it’s not lies and libellous) without, in the main, getting jumped on by a mob and banned. Not sure how much you are aware of what goes on on Twitter and the fans Facebook group, but IMO it’s got to the stage where nothing but praise for Hilton is tolerated. To the extent that one of the groups moderators was taken to task by some on there for being slightly critical about the first half against Darlo, then yesterday is celebrating ànother poster asking where all the ‘Dean haters’ have gone, by saying, ‘probably on Twitter or message boards’, (I.e. Bru). So if you think it’s bad on here, at least people are free to air their views without the risk of persecution or worse, the stuff that 64 has cited, which has all happened.

The best team win because on the day, they were the better team. Probably throughout the tournament tbh. Nothing to do with not believing their press, just a class side

Yeah, aware of all that 64. I meant trying to be civil and respectful of each other on Bru.

Appreciate your post JI though surely you’d agree, this doesn’t just apply to the criitics and sceptics?

‘Some of the posters repeatedly take it past the kind of respectful reservation that Deerey and Sidey defend.’

Just trying to be fair and balanced, but none of us are perfect. Unfortunately, I’d be surprised if tensions don’t continue to rise before the hearing. I just hope we can keep it pretty civil and posters don’t revert to being disrespectful of each other, insulting and abusing. There’s always going to be a bit of winding up, but it easily boils over at times like these when we’re all anxious about the near future

[Deereyme66]

‘the case is being heard in chambers and there’s no public access.’

Imagine organising a coach to go and watch it to find out on arrival that you can’t.

[Deereyme66]

It’s not fair to be labelling anyone who’s critical or questioning of some things going as not supporting the club or not going to games. All feels a bit cheap.

[Deereyme66]

But the capacity cap wasn’t crap.

Beer was involved when it shouldn’t have been on the coach. And some yoots fighting each other? Starts at the top and works it’s way down. Stone Island may have been involved.

[Deereyme66]

Jerry was mentioned in a few posts. Tbh, I couldn’t work out wtf happened. It was the claims and counter claims that made me laugh

[Deereyme66]

Quoting Osborne? Jeez, we’ve hit a new low!

[Deereyme66]

What happened to the previous accountant? I thought the club were using Dave’s Ilkeston Town accountant a while back? Seems like a high turnover of staff going on.

[Deereyme66]

Had a chortle reading on the Facebook group about the organised coach shenanigans. Sounds like much ado about nothing. Or something from the Beano or Dandy

Not in certain quarters but non league football generally has had a huge increase on popularity in recent times. Just prefer the Iron not to be in it!

[Deereyme66]

Actually, might be thinking Mike White?

Really liked Mike Dean’s commentaries. And Russ’s usually.

Not listening today IFA. Out. Sorry

Not biting on your latest cast awaywego. Just to say, I don’t ever champion any poster on here. If I agree or empathise with the points or sentiments of a post, regardless of who made the post, I will. If I don’t, as above to IE’s last post, I might say so. Simple really. Also, if I feel that a poster is being unnecessarily criticised through tribalism, I might say something in their defence.
