Given he wasn't the only fan at the meal I assume somebody else who attended will call him out if he was wrong, I fear he wasn't though. I was also at the meal today and the Chairperson also confirmed that he had a meeting that day about the plans for the colony and are in the process of finalising them before submission for planning He also stated that the manager has a budget for refreshing the squad in January He also said that looking at other sites for a stadium has not been ruled out He also said thanks to the sponsor of the meal as well... I wonder who that was Read into that what you want I think by now we can all see there is a reevaluation in business strategy. However that doesnt mean, they are selling up, not funding the club and Rovers are going bust that some have portrayed I think the term is middle ground somewhere between the great hope and end of days, that some cant comprehend, or are too depressed about everything Rovers to accept that maybe we can just be a football club

Hugo I'm a Tree Hugging, Vegan who only enjoys the fruits of what nature can provide .... but the 1664 was nice Sounds like "fake news" to me; you certainly don't have the look of a vegan (unless you eat your own body weight in nuts & pulses daily). So we appear to have two different interpetations on the great orators poste (my assumption) meal, "Enbury" has been extremely critical of affairs of late but puts a somewhat complimentary spin on the matter. Our old mate inzider alternatively paints a further picture of doom & gloom, whatever happens going forwards as fans we need to get to the Mem tomorrow and try to get the team over the line for another 3 points. Survival in the 3rd division is the most important thing currently. UTG

UTG I was sat right in front of the Chairperson when he was giving us all this great news... watched his body language very closely as i'm a good judge of when porky's are being told.... the only thing i did NOT believe was his story about a blind man and his dog on Gloucester Rd.... People don't do that sort of thing in public.... Or do they

Oh Very much FACT The Chairperson said the wages in the Championship are DOUBLE the wages in League 1 so if we want to keep him from going to a Championship from poaching him we are going to have to match that, which we won't.

As an after dinner speaker Mr Hamer was very poor. I was suprised, in a room with a lot of ladies in, that he not only swore in some of his stories but they were also in bad taste.
I asked if he was still searching for a new site to build a new stadium, his answer was that they were always looking for opportunities, typical political answer, a simple yes or no would have sufficed
The food and company were great. JK was an excellent master of ceramony and believe it or not, I saw him with a salad.

Reading the responses *Gasinciders work here is done! That only makes sense if "gasincider" is lying and hamer did not in fact say those things. If hamer did make the stated comments at the meal its a worthwhile piece of information imo. Not really. It's one sentence out of context. Gasincider obviously made a choice of what to post. Presumably SH said a load of other stuff, that hasn't been posted. Without any context about what else was said and why it hasn't been posted, and given Gasincider's posting history then Slide away's post seems like a fair assessment to me.

The only thing about the op of interest was hamer stating the owners had possibly not understood the cost of running a football club so although i agree "gasincider" should have reviewed the speech in a more balanced way its still a valid piece of information on its own. The stuff about bodin and championship wages must surely be known to everyone by now.

I think the Chairperson gave a very balanced view of the club. he was never going to state any ground breaking news (sorry for the pun) and was viewed by most of the people as being ok by the round of applause and no booing at the end, which is our normal to show displeasure

But Slide away's post wasn't about whether it was a valid piece of information it was about the response Gi had managed to provoke on the forum.

It seems to me, given the new thread, given the selective nature of the quote, given Gi's posting history, given the plainly disingenuous 'make of that what you will,' that it was a fair comment.

So one gave the negative spin and one gave the positive spin. Just more confusion for everyone else which only adds to the growing tensions and bad atmosphere here and around the club.
The way I see it is we are in league one and have a very good manager on our hands. Compare that to a few seasons back when Ward was about to step down from management and we had 8 games left to save our season and we were getting quotes from Higgs saying "relegation is not an option" and we all knew what happened next! I don't blame DC for our relegation before anyone points our we got the same manager who relegated us.
Compare where we are now and where we were then and what was about to happen, I am delighted how things are going for us. We have seen many dark days at our club and where we are now is certainly no where near those dark days so I just cant comprehend how people are acting like we just been relegated to the downs league. I may be called a rose tinter or be accused of burying my head in the sand but I cant control the board and what happens on or off the pitch. The only thing I can control is the effort I put in on a match day to support my team. As long as the team puts in 100% win, lose or draw, I would be happy.
I am not itk about off field matters. Some on here claim to be and some of them obviously have hidden agendas. I thought we all want the same thing which is to see us succeed. Some however look intent at destroying our club.
Here is to 3 points tomorrow!

So Mr Hamer said something and some people believe him, others don't Gasincider posted what Mr Hamer said and some believe and some don't. Gasincider didn't say some things and some people say he should have and others said he should keep quiet. Gasincider also didn't say what Mr Hamer didn't say Mr Hamer didn't say some things and some people say he should have and others said he should keep quiet as he lies. Mr Hamer didn't tell anyone what he didn't say only what he said. Well that sorted then. If you say something your either exaggerating, economical with the truth, biased or lying. At best your simply trying to keep people happy whilst spinning a yarn to buy time until actions speak louder than words. If you don't say something your either a fool as you know nothing, hiding something, letting everyone down by not giving out Wael's bank account number and password etc. Every business, instition and club I've ever been associated with (including Rovers) has only divulged info on a need to know basis. Why do we all need to know everything? So in the context of this thread thank you Mr Hamer and thank you Gasincider Keep up with the football other things will follow with or without me knowing what is about to happen or not. UTG

You really are struggling to justify your contribution about my post. A word of advice. When in a hole stop digging. As always I have stated the truth. Even Henbury has backed it up. If there is a new rule about what we can post, can you in your role of moderator let us all know. If not, as usual, I'll post what I like within the sensible existing boundaries. And it will always be the truth.
