Potential Buyers

So the winning bid had more money, which means the TUST had insufficient. I'd suggest that the bid that TUST has been involved with came in with a budget and a business plan (we know that at least one of the people involved is wealthy), but there was another bid that had a bigger budget and busines...

Reflections on the 23/24 season

Oddly, the first 20 minutes of the season I really thought we were going to piss it. 2-0 up at Dover. Then we collapse (a nice preview of the season overall) Lots of factors combined to make this season a misery, though. Johnson - the manager should undoubtedly have left after relegation last season...

TUST would be great, but what exactly did they mean when saying they'd need £150k raised from us within a few weeks? Can they cover this if we don't, as we struggled to get 25k in a month recently. I suspect that's the buy-in for a place in the consortium. If you have 4 or 5 individuals putting in ...

Why would Chris Dawson be at the match yesterday sitting with our directors etc if he wasn't interested ? we've no idea whether the picture is of him. we've no idea whether, even assuming the pic *is* him, that he was there as a prospective owner we've no idea about anything The reason we don't kno...

Point deduction.

How to kick you when you’re down, Do the national league want teams in the league ? 10 points taken off before Administration started, yet week in week out we have to deal with joke officials :@ :@ not sure why you're mad at the National League - be mad at the club who apparently didn't realise tha...

Next season.

I tend to view far more than I post, but next season, assuming we are still in the NLS, who out of this squad do we realistically 1. Want to keep 2. Expect to leave 3. Still contracted to us Too soon to have this discussion really. We don't yet know who will be in control of the club for next seaso...

Ok.. I will repeat myself for one last time as I am obviously not articulating myself very well.. To a certain extent this is somewhat of a pointless discussion anyway if the TUST / Consortium bid is off the table. But should it come back on again if the preferred bidder decides not to proceed, it ...

That is irrelevant and a facile comment. Whatever Osbourne's motive was for loaning money and taking ownership rather than forcing administration, it does not negate the fact that the Football Club has continued to operate for a further five years or more. Hitler wasn't a very nice man who invaded ...

I understand the feelings towards Edwards but can someone explain why Mel Hayman is 'disliked' so much to put it mildly? From what I can tell it's being tainted by association. If you're involved with a regime that everybody hates, you'll be associated with that regime regardless of whether or not ...

There's so much money the club have been leaving on the proverbial table in the past few years, mostly through neglect; of the facilities, of the customers/fans, and of the matchday experience. If you make the place more appealing, you'll get more people through the gates, and if you do the matchday...

Hopefully Dawson and Hanson will be back !!!
I would be amazed if Hanson is present today, since he joined Tonbridge Angels in february.
