Waterfields having sat and read back through your old posts what is very clear and sticks out like a sore thumb is that you quite bitter for some reason and are clearly against the Rowleys and Derek Beaumont and as a consequence Andy looks now to be guilty by association.

Knowing a few of the new board on a personal level as a sponsor of the club I know that none of them are paid a penny for what they do for the club and the many hours of professional time they inject would cost the club an absolute fortune if they had to pay for it. I also know Derek and Andy are two of the major cash investors from the group and two of the key figures who are pushing the club forward at a very fast pace and indeed have transformed it's fortunes in a short space of time.

From reading on here and speaking with people at the club it's evident Andy did not have any part in Alan giving up his role as programme editor and as the forum is UNOFFICIAL i fail to see why anyone including our clubs Directors if they so wish should not have the right to an opinion on other clubs and all things RL should they so wish to have one. For me it's great we have such open, honest and passionate people running the club and willing and able to participate and interact with fans.

Question for you is what is buying you the right it have a pop at a guy is throwing many tens of thousands of pounds at the club and is part of a group that has transformed our clubs fortunes??? Exactly what are you doing for the club??? Keyboard Warrior I suspect who has been sat waiting for an opening and wouldn't dare say anything to these lads faces.

David thanks for the reply.

The specific post I refer to is not even twelve months old and I found it on just the second page back of your most recent posts as follows:

Your post on a thread about Derek Beaumont which you replied and quoted SRW1996.

[size=150You say you want a fresh start. New blood. A break from the past.

Don't think that's going to be easy. Looks to me like your successful canvassing for fan ownership has forced the old guard to show their hands early. The cash flow situation gave them a stage on which to wave a bit of cash to win hearts and minds. Add to that the fact that 50% of the shares would vote with Allan and I'd say you've little chance of a clean slate or a fresh start.

I think the new guys seem to be firmly keeping a lid on some of the more boisterous old brigade nicely and achievement is measured by success and you gauge success on results. In all areas of the business weather it be on the pitch in the bars, out in the town and community or upstairs in the corporate areas or indeed increasing numbers on the terraces we are achieving.

Were would we be if these guys had not stepped up to the plate last year???

I say this kindly but can the BOM not just go about the business of running the club and be above any tittle tattle or childish quips.
It doesn't show the business in a good light no matter what name is used when posting comments.
Yesterday was a very good day for the Centurions on and off the field, a lot of work done by the new BOM and a lot of foundation work put in place by the many volunteers that have kept the club going that have enabled the new start to begin - everyone should be very excited about the times ahead but the constant back biting and infighting does no-one any good.

If we are all in this together isn't it time we started to show it ?

Well said Jenky.

'Maurice' - may I call you 'Maurice'?

You will have been aware, from our recent conversation, how disillusioned and despondent I feel.

You now begin to see why - all the 'perks' were gradually being taken away!

Alan you can call me what you wish, we have known each other long enough now - in fact you generally do
