As others have said, we have a fair old number of fans in London. Be horrified if we can't take more than 1,000 to QPR.

Who the **** acts like that? Not tarring them all with the same brush but FFS!! Ruined a great day out.. I feel for you there Redstoke, that couldn't have been a nice situation to find yourself in especially with your lad only being 8. You were in a no win situation and they knew it ******* scum.

B block Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Now we have a more professional administration that effectively say we will tell you stuff when it's a done deal...and fans don't like it! Got to admit, I like these people and I'm glad they are running the club. Totally agree. I think they run the club professionally. Just look at the staff we have behind DC and in the academy, such an improvement on pre-takeover times. I also prefer to see us as a club that earns what it spends, rather than building up debts it can't afford. Which is what i believe Wael is trying to do. laughable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a fan of this new broadcasting rule, for this exact reason. I’ll gladly be subscribing though bctv for this one, as I’m away on holiday, but I hope it doesn’t deter too many from actually attending non weekend fixtures. We shall see...!

Rich Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 5 minutes ago, ChippenhamRed said: How about this for an inspiring speech...not exactly Churchill is he.... Like a Rabbit in the headlights. The nervous little laughs shouldn't inspire any confidence, that this man (however nice) knows anything at all about how to progress the club. At this point in the questioning, he should be saying things along the lines of, we've spoken to three different groups about stadium partnerships and it's all positive but, I cannot name those groups. The stadium sites are all within 10 miles of our heartland. On the training ground, we have been in discussion with the local authority about the plans and are working with them to provide the best facilities possible, which are acceptable to the authority and an application will follow shortly. Instead, it's a nervous laugh and a waffle about reassuring people, which doesn't actually reassure anyone. It would appear that he's trying to plod along with little financial resources at his disposal, other than the odd sale of a player and season ticket sales, because his family have told him, no more investment from us, find it from elsewhere. And he's hoping for a night in shining armour to turn up and rescue him from his personal commitment. Long may this waffling continue. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no reason why he couldn’t say they’d employed architects to draw up some plans. He used an awful lot of words but said absolutely nothing at all. Just vague uninspiring waffle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 As said previously, DS owns the training ground so they can disclose whatever they want to the fans. The bloke or his family are not doing a single thing, and I would bet whatever you want that there will be no training ground ready for next season (their own). I thought he was the man in charge (not the purse strings), if so why at the end "has the club been up for sale" - "no, not that I know of ha ha ha". They are fooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody dire time - bit of relecfion on where we are now! Great memory on the score, but it was a league cup match - August 2005 - Barnet 4 City 2 - but then just a few months later we went there under Gary Johnson in the LDV Vans trophy and got spanked again 3-2!
