    Another vivid not best memory; just about making it over snake pass in a blizzard to Edgeley Park, then all getting massively bollocked by Ron Ashman for chanting ‘Ashman Out!’ and only just making it back over the Pennines. What a cold shit night that was!

    With Swann we’re just passing through the National. We’re like ships in the night Capt. At least your ship is being steered properly now. Good luck to you.

    Remember being in the press box at Millwall when we beat them 2-1 (?) in midweek around 2000? Can’t remember the exact year but Justin Walker was playing and had a good game. It all got a bit tense when I cheered our winner and had a load of Millwall fans giving me daggers. First and only experience of witnessing a Laws post match interview afterwards. Didn’t have a clue what he was babbling on about and I don’t think the Millwall press could understand a word. They were really bitter about losing.

    Don’t like to see any club going down but after the smugness from a few Oldham fans I witnessed recently and listening to R5 yesterday afternoon harping on about Oldham potentially getting relegated with barely a mention of us, I’ve little sympathy for them.

    Appreciate the update awaywego. Sounds a little promising. Kind of.

    Indeed. Remember that happening more than once. As a skint schoolkid it certainly wasn’t me who had the extra cash! 30-40 might be an exaggeration come to think of it. More like 20-30. But it was better than doing nothing. Marginally 😆

    Very occasional midweek away victories in the early 80s, savoured by the 30-40 diehards who probably just made it feasible to run a Holloways coach. Something would always happen to raise a laugh. Fond memories.

    Not the ‘best’ memory by any stretch of the imagination but a vivid one is getting hammered at Kenilworth Road on New Year’s Day and virtually all the travelling fans singing ‘The Great Escape’ for the whole second half non-stop. Unity and defiance in the face of relegation. That’s before we had the club ripped from under our feet of course. When it still felt like ours.

    ‘Beating Sheff Wed away in a mid week night game when Laws was in charge of them’

    That was a very very good night.

    Maybe someone meeting up with Lee at the pub in Leyton could ask him to clarify if he’s a Director or not? If he’s not please ask him how he can be the acting Chair of the Board. It’s not being tricky but does have implications.

    Would Turnbull actually need to be appointed as a director to be COO though?

    A COO doesn’t have to be a Director. But an acting Chair has to be on the Board. So is he actually acting Chair or not?

    Not according to Companies House he isn’t. Unless, the change hasn’t been filed yet? Something you would normally action within a few days through webfiling and takes a day or two to be approved. What’s the hold up?

    Yes, it’s usually the case. In the absence of a Chair (eg. current one has stepped down) the attendees can nominate one to Chair the meeting. The ex-Chair is unlikely to be at the meeting but could be, unless they’ve resigned from the board.

    What are you saying Renee? In effect, little has changed?

    Both likeable fellows tick, and sunak swann and Wharton all overspent tick, where’s the poor analogies Deerey. If Renee’s are ok.

    Saying a goalkeeper is shocking isn’t exactly professing ‘goalkeepers’ to be your ‘specialist subject’. It’s an observation.

    Very poor analogies awaywego, and sacrilege comparing Adkins to Johnson in any way, shape or form.

    Icing on the cake for me was having Beckford in for a while too. An amazing curler at home to (?) followed by a near identical goal at Gresty Road in mid-week. Really spoilt. As if we didn’t have enough gems.

    Rotherham. We played terribly and then Beckford did that. Later in the game, their German midfielder Bopp missed a penalty. A German missing a penalty? It really was our year!

    Think you’re right. Crewe away was a week or two after this ridiculous bit of skill below. Can’t upload the Crewe goal as I can only see it on Facebook. Same position and angle but just outside the box and only one helpless defender 🤣

    ‘Bucks is noticeable by his absence, he was one of the worst for telling us what idiots we were and that Swann is a brilliant businessman’

    And frequently ridiculed me and others for questioning why he was suddenly backing a new stadium when he’d previously dismissed it on the grounds of low supporter base and catchment area, interest, etc, bandying some stats around. Seemingly overnight he bought wholesale into Swann’s plans on spurious grounds, tantamount to believing the hype. When questioned, Bucks would merely reply ‘an entirely predictable attack from you Deerey, when did I ever say that?!’

    I can understand an Iron supporter might think it’s a waste of time and detrimental to protest, but I can’t understand one that so doggedly tries to undermine it as UTI99. Unless…

    Freedom of expression and the right to protest. Potential new owners might actually appreciate a section of fans not being so apathetic. Surely they’re not that naive to think Swann wants to sell because everything in the garden is rosy? They might look around and think ‘f*** me, a complete imbecile could run this better!’
