So what's happening at tonight's forum then? Is it just the same thing but for the benefit of the people who couldn't fit in the building last night?

That's what I was wondering. Is there any point?

I'm not buying into it yet. I'll probably end up with a season ticket if we're going to make the start of the season but Nigel's involvement doesn't sit right with me.

He's played us like a fiddle.

Not a solicitor as said previously. SE is closer to the truth.

Sawyer speaks well and doesn’t seem like the sort to be getting involved in silly games. If what he says about Chalmers writing off a substantial debt is true then perhaps he’s had some unfair flack from some quarters?

But this is the Bulls so I guess anything could yet happen!

We understand that it would appear that AC is in fact still on board.

Awaiting 100% confirmation, but it is widely rumoured that the Wood family may end up owning 63% of BB17; AC 7% and BB's Kevin N, 5%.

Also appears that Matt Storton has sadly left the building.

As for calling Charles a racist, despite the fact that is now old and fake news in accordance with our principles of being open and transparent we'll be addressing that in a separate post.

Give your head a shake!

Admit it was an ill judged comment, retract and apologise. Be the grown up you claim to be.

Hi, yes a PM would be great as unless I'm mistaken said poster(s) is/are still very much active and don't appear to have been particularly apologetic.

Please kindly refer to our last post. We said we will be commenting thereupon in due course.

Do us all a favour and kindly go elsewhere, I think I can safely say 99% of posters on here aren't interested in hearing anymore.

Fair point Highlander. Hopefully they will dual reg and along with what remains maybe things will pan out.

Looking forward to tonight's forum.

Same, please.

I attempted to report the post as racist, but the board only appears to be a able to receive one report per post.

I don't really want to be part of a community that tolerates racism. I appreciate I can leave, but that's not really how it should be.

Edit - I'm not accusing you of tolerating racism, Christian. I realise it reads a little like that.

Still waiting

Its about as racist as calling Jack Tordoff the car man or that guy that sold beds the bed man as far as I'm concerned. Stewie would have something to say about it though.

Noy sure what will happen next year with DR. Don't SL teams have to run reserve teams next year anyway.

Yeah I'm not one to defend Pestegg and anything that may have got "them" kicked off here would have been ok with me, but I tend to agree with you (to a point). It's what Omar is known for, I don't think the comment was to do with his ethnicity.
That being said, I don't know why you'd refer to him as the curry man, but the other two by their names (why "Green" instead of "security guy"icon_wink.gif. That bit felt wrong. It's not like his name is hard to spell.

I hear ya. Good point well made.

Just noticed this in the RL statement:
“This means the ELEMENT of special measures that restricts the registration of player contracts has been lifted”( my emphasis)
Does anyone know which ,if any, other special measures remain?

Yep that's the bit I fundamentally disagreed with. It's the fact two can be called by their surname yet one is implied as just the curry man.

What if Marc Green had only been made reference to by his religion (everyone knows Green was Jewish)... would that have been acceptable?

I think they have still to agree to the budget related to the academy (According to Sawyers interview with Matthew Shaw).

Pestegg's comment is quite clearly a racial slur. As others have said it is the change in employed language that differentiates the comment as racist. It also doesn't take long to prepare a retraction of said comment. I could do it now:

"I apologise for the misguided comment xyz. It was never intended as a racist comment and the post has now been edited to reflect this. I do not endorse racism in any form".

That would cut it. Pestegg plays by different rules though, apparently. Rules that I personally do not support.

Please get rid of them.

I don’t think it’s racist but deliberately inflammatory and like all of pest eggs posts, it was designed to provoke a reaction.

Why not the restaurant bloke and as DILLIGAF said, why is it only Omar who didn’t get his name used?

As others have said, Omar seemed to always have good intentions even if it didn’t end any better. He deserves a hell of a lot more respect than most of the others.

According to John Kear at tonights forum players definite for next year include Jordan Lilley, Rosss Oakes, Steve Crossley, Sam Hallas, Rhys Evans, Joe Brown, Thomas Doyle plus others not yet sorted.
