So exactly the structure Blackpool in 2009 had. Only with inflation, meaning it’s about half in real terms.

No, just a luckier one.

It rings in my ears nearly 4 years on: ‘There’s nothing special about Blackburn Rovers’ - then Head of Marketing, Paul Fielder. A man who couldn’t convince his own son to support his own club (Hull), preferring to watch Arsenal fans (not even Arsenal games) on YouTube. And the obsession with NFTs… fucking hell.

A rare bit of praise, note that Aynsley achieved a Happy Gilmore yesterday. Hole in One on a par 4 hole.

He once spent weeks on here teasing a striker pre-Venkys, what a masterstroke superstar signing it was going to be. It was Franco DiFuckingSanto on loan…

Ties in with why he got so arsey with Glen with the ‘Ask Venkys yourself’ comment.

I’m fairly sure Ian Holloway was once placed on gardening leave by a club, purely to prevent him going to a rival until the end of the season.

@J*B? @Herbie6590?

This is a much better post than was originally being made, which led to my reaction. I too would like some clarity on why the minutes differed between the three versions.

I think they’re fact that you’ve described it yourself as ‘a witch hunt’ tells its own story. I disagree with a poster being rounded on without the opportunity to defend themselves. As should any right-thinking person. For a good couple of days certain posters have practically been begging Glen to throw O2G under the bus. There is a tone of ‘Go on Glen, name and shame, who should we hate next?’, and I’m glad he clearly has the restraint to have not done so. Whatever people may think of the minute-taking, I got the feeling from a number of posts since the first mention of his being on holiday that they wanted specifically to target O2G for some sort of character assassination. Perhaps my post was an over correction, but as a Mod, I want this place to remain a welcoming place, particularly for Rovers fans, and especially so for those fans who give their time to more than most fans do. I also felt that if K-Hod were to have made a similar post, he would have been accused of nepotism or sticking up for the club or some other nonsense. I was simply trying to nip in the bud any suggestion that O2G has maliciously done anything wrong, and (as I stated) focus ire on the actual wrong-doers. My own takeaway from the most recent minutes is that the mechanism of them being delivered needs to change a bit. As an example: When I take minutes of RT (or other) meetings, I make sure anyone who wants specific things mentioning to write them down in real time and pass to me at the end of the meeting. That way I collate everything agreeable. If anyone wants something omitting that someone else wants mentioning, then tough, it gets mentioned in the interests of honesty unless it specifically needs to be off record.

Well the Online Safety Act means people have to find new things to have a wank to.

Is there a cheap tactic for us to pull here? They’ve already proved they are sexist by so easily enforcing a below-head-height ceiling on the women’s team. This behaviour from the club could sound like a petty bit of homophobia in some quarters.

I’m as fucked off about the minutes as anybody, but kindly stop the outright harassment of O2G. He’s a bloke who’s written some minutes, not Ronnie fucking Biggs. Focus ire on the actual culprits.

Blackpool?

You can not get past Lewis Miller, Miller, Miller, eh-eh-eh (Sorry)

Restricted to BB postcodes, which they don’t realise includes the sister fisters.

Hopefully it means strength from the bench rather than simple replacement.

Tugay was ok too, I guess…

Work permits are government issued. Registration is an FA issue:

It’s like the fucking DFS sale.

Perhaps we could compromise on Crompton and make him the manager?

Not really managed it since Hughesy. We had something like 12 international captains and vice captains in that side 🤣

I have. I’ve also been to Fans Forum meetings. They are completely different formats.

By accident rather than by design. It doesn’t replicate the open forum format, which is what happens with supporter consultation.

Goes to show what a bit of sponsorship or funding achieves.
