    Is at all clubs are in the one hat or is it at this point on a regional basis ?

    Cribbs FC are lurking.

    This is one of the EGO’s final claim to fame – Peter Swann got us to our lowest level of entry to the FA CUP, must be a proud day for him !!!

    If Mr Cox on not worth it anyway.

    At the last home game going about bringing on a sub – how inspiring were his subs ! He then mentioned giving ‘Pughey’ some game time to get him match fit ! Pity he never bothered when he was manager !

    We have a Barrister or 2 on the Board now. Would I ever believe Mr Swann – NO. If someone with a legal eye has seen something that is concerning then that needs resolving. So until it is resolved we sit and wait.

    Way back in an interview on Radio Humberside the EGO said something quite close to “We gambled, we gave it a go and failed so we need to balance the books”.

    WE did nothing, WE had no say in the lunacy over the last 5 years. One person had control and that was the EGO !!! He gambled everything the club had and the club could not stop him because he made ALL the decisions – a good example was a 2year contract extension to Jordan Hallam who was rarely fit.

    He wasted the money and he should have carried the loss not the club.

    The issue here is over the tenure of The EGO the Supporters were told mistruths on many, many occasions.

    After 10 years of it trust will not return automatically, it will take time. Perhaps Mr Hilton is the messiah, only time will tell.

    Cheers Matt and thank you to Mr Hilton for doing this.

    Hope he starts to realise the fans are not the enemy, although they want is to be involved. Added to that many have good ideas and are not looking for reward. Survival and future success would be reward enough.

    Didn’t we release him when he wouldn’t sign a new contract.

    No – he was offered a contract and he opted to stay away.

    On 23rd June the club stated in one of their Player Update Statements that we “Have retained our compensation rights”. These rights were brought in by the EFL to stop bigger clubs basically stealing developed talent.

    Joey Dawson was going to sign but he felt someone was using him in a power battle so he changed his mind – and it was his choice !

    After that despite someone hinting he would sign he had said he would not.

    Good morning TwoWrights – yes that is the rule. What concerns me is that Hull City declared it a ‘Free Transfer’ . There was no mention of the compensation that the EFL put in to stop clubs higher up poaching from those lower down.

    My Wife who is not a footie fan only rates Kelly Somers. The rest she cannot stand – Eilidh Barbour and Robyn Cowen her pet hates. They shout constantly and just don’t shut up delivering so much rubbish ! Then we have pronunciation or should we say lack of it ! Who are Totnum ? Then we have the classic – Sit EEE. But the one who beats all is Ms Fara Williams – at times impossible to understand a word !

    The best team won because they didn’t believe their press.

    Interesting things getting very interesting. Beside this case when is the EGO in the High Court – I look forward to reading answers to certain questions from it. Can imagine such as ‘At what point did you think they took advantage of a gambler lacking good judgement’ ?

    We can only try to 2nd guess because the fans have no real information to base any comments on.

    All speculation or rumours, so until anything happens just sit and wait. Let Mr Hilton and the Ego have their spat first and then see what is left.

    I can understand the Barrows loan; broke his leg in November and needs the minutes, highly unlikely to displace Ogle either.

    Signing another midfielder is just baffling. Back to warehousing players again.

    I think they are hoping for a quick return if they can get him to fulfil his potential. I have been told he can do it IF he wants !!

    Ego’s are so evident. Would do better if they concentrated on the basics and at their level they are poor.

    Too much tip-tap you to me to you to me. Predictable plan and what is this ‘I hope my ponytail is ok’ after everything ! Several years ago the Australians asked to play an under 16 boys team – stopped at halftime as the only time the women got the ball was for kick-offs !!

    Personally I think an U11’s academy team would be too big a challenge for ours !

    Fully endorse admins action. It is not necessary there are enough words in the English Language that can be used to make a point. Foul and abusive is not needed.

    It is about the stadium and the land. Anything to do with the football club – tax, wages etc won’t be relevant. Swann somehow put GP into the ownership of a separate company, unchallenged at the time, so that part is over.

    How do you challenge anything as the club was owned by the ego ! The predominant name of board members was SWANN so they will do as instructed.

    From season start the target must be to go unbeaten in the league. Get promotion resolved as soon as it is possible.

    This will build the gates and then revenues will increase from ticket sales, media sales and catering turnover provided they actually improve it unlike our previous 5 seasons where it seemed a hindrance !

    Away at Tamworth will be the opportunity to show what we intend doing. Best wishes to them all.

    To PLYMIRON play with your head and not your heart.

    Personally I have on many occasions gone for an IRON win despite knowing that the enemy within didn’t want that. But I am will not change.

    Good luck, enjoy it.

    When in the last 5 seasons Bartoniron66 have we managed to wreck something if it was promising.

    The last 5 years have been text book ‘How to do it wrong if that is what is required’ !

    It’s been like it for years. Thousands of pounds of lost revenue every season !

    Our attitude to catering as many say has been shocking, more like tens of thousands. Seems yet again delivery to the counters is the minimum we can get away with.
