I’m not trying to win a popularity contest , but yes if someone is acting daft I would tell them , wouldn’t you ? But you see , that’s the problem with forums , people like Henbury enjoy winding people up and saying things that they wouldn’t necessarily say in person as they are tucked safe and sound behind their keyboard. Just out of curiosity, you think it’s acceptable for Henbury to dish it out to me but you pipe up at my post ? I can't be bothered to trawl back and see who insulted who first and I don't really care I only seen the comment above. My view is that when a poster resorts to personal insults they have lost the argument and responding in kind is just as bad. Personally if I don't agree with posters on here I agree to dissagree and if what they post annoys me I block their posts so that I don't see them. The last thing I would want to do if someone had upset me on here is to meet them for both of our sakes. You can block people on here?! This is new information to me...how do you do that? My Gaschat experience is about to get much better!

Ok, let's tone this down, please. No one is meeting anyone in the car park, but you're all welcome round my house for some wrestling (naked).

When someone from Chase school had an issue with someone from Rodway, we used to settle it with a scrap on the common after school. I just feel it's more sophisticated to do it on the internet. And you don't get blood on your blazer. Or have to make up some cock and bull story for your mum about accidents with chisels in woodwork. Ah yes the mean streets of mangotsfield

your right it is not all their income but the bank does appear to be their main earner. I just get the feeling for the time being we are lumbered with AQ's and there lack of major spending power and they are lumbered with the club and it's debt. Fans need to decide what they want. Most fans moan about Salford, Man City etc. But then they moan they want us to be the same as those clubs. We are spending the maximum allowed for SCMP. The budget did go up, due to the increased revenue, from better sponsorship deals and sponsor's. So they are trying to do it the right way. Training ground was put on hold, until they can agree a stadium deal. I have no problem with that. Where we train now, is not bad for this level anyway. When we are already losing millions a season, I wouldn't add millions to that. Until we have further revenue streams confirmed. We are only in serious problems, if the family decide enough, is enough. With all the abuse they get, I wouldn't blame them for walking away. That's the issue though, are they even trying to agree a stadium deal or are they trying to find the nearest exit door? As far as SCMP that's just a smoke scene to hide behind to stop any progress, I bet the ALQ's wouldn't be worry about that if we were playing in a stadium capable of holdong Championship football!

I’m unconcerned the AGM is overdue. I borrowed a book from the library in 1980 - British nesting birds, still got it.

No one knows how much money the family have. They are private people. So it's pointless trying to work out how much money they have coming in. They have continued to fund the club, unless they ever decide to stop, not sure why everyone is trying to make it an issue. Same at every club, including c**y. The issue for me is the fact that the ambition at the club seems to have completely dried up and it appears that apart from Wael the rest of the family have given up interest. You only have to look at the Colony site to see this. City are maximising their revenue from non football events like concerts and top class conference event facilities whereas we are relying on car boot sales in the car park. I can’t see for the life of me how we can ever hope to pay back the money we owe and how we stop them spiralling out of control.without a major injection of cash and who is willing to do that? The rest of the family had no interest from Day 1 if Wael's first few interviews are anything to go by. I simply believe that Wael had honourable intentions and still does, but he didn't do his homework thoroughly enough and has bitten off way more than he can chew. It's sad for him but it's even more sad for Gasheads who rightly or wrongly thought the dawn had finally arrived at our club. In reality the night seems to be going on for far longer than we had hoped.

As I have said many times before, it was interesting at the first AGM of the current custodians, that the Chairman admitted that "they were unaware of certain things before taking over the club". That is incompetence at the highest level not to do the due diligence fully. Unlike Knowall, I would never say there is good news on the horizon. I have NO idea if any new owners would be better than the past custodians of the football club. Yes, they may build us a new shiny stadium, but are they better at running a football club? Only time will tell.

Only time will tell. Agreed Severncider and I've been quite vocal on that point regarding their incompetence. To purchase the Colony land and remark later that the cost was higher than anticipated is unforgivable incompetence. Wael then dodged the questions from G20Man on Having a Gas. Frankly I couldn't believe how he got given such an easy ride from Gasheads on here after that particular point. It was a direct contradiction of what Hamer previously said. It's incompetence in itself not to align your stories/spin from the senior spokesmen of the club.

However I agree in that what then follows could be good or bad depending on how the millions are spent. and yes, only time will tell.
