Clearly I haven't got time to check nearly 40 pages of posts this afternoon but I'm pretty sure one of you stated it was somebody who attends the BoD meetings but is not a member of the BoD, surely that only leaves the FD? Are you denying one of you suggested that on the fourm and he's not one of your sources, if so, I must have dreamt it? Fans director? PR man? Secretary? Tea Lady? |

higgs does not deserve the lack of respect shown by some. Maybe not, but if (and it's looking likely) he's pressing ahead with a reduced stadium of which we will share ownership (while keeping it quiet), people are going to demand something better. That low ceiling will be the final nail from those who's mistakes have cost us so dearly, and people understandably want more than that. I can handle staying still at the Mem, I won't accept the promised land being what's touted as plan B. Unfortuneately you will have no say in the matter.Your only course of action should you not agree with things is to stop attending games,not that it will cause one iota of discomfiture to whoever is in charge of the club at the time.What you have to realise is no amount of pontificating on a minor forum will make any difference,that is the way of the world |

Can't see how he has taken us into non league it is the sh** players we signed,no decent striker for years means failure Who employed the manager and then acted as DOF when he signed the players who eventually let us down? Just checking are you absolutely certain that NH signed the players that subsequently got us relegated |

I think the Fans Directors know far less than JTS & co, unless they are delibrately acting as though they are being kept in the dark? |

It really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things what I do of course, I'll just do what works for me. In the short term that will be cancelling my helpline (since it's only being used to fund interest payments), hopefully the longer term (stop attending) won't have to happen, but there is only so far you can follow something (with time and money) before saying enough is enough. |

I thought Gasincider said prevously I was on the wrong track when I mentioned Mike Turl? Oddly one of his 10 followers on twitter is @jamesmcnamara even though he's never tweeted anything yet! |

In most clubs signings are rubber stamped by the board,but that is just financial,very rarely,GD and Lambert being an exception,do the board of any club sign players.It is a waste of time because if they sign a player the manager doesn't want he wont play so it is a waste of time and money

If info I have is true that is because there is no consortium trying to buy us!! I think there is something going on,you know the saying about smoke and fire,but I feel it is in its infancy and a long way from talks/offers being made.I think both sides are posing at present and nothing will be known for months to come and definitely not at the sc agm |

No, Nick said they turned down a bid from a Birmingham based consortium at Xmas. Factually accurate I'm sure. A clever bit of spin by Higgs or the Bristol City Evening Post because everyone assumes that is what we are talking about now without confirming or denying the existence of a second consortium from say London making a fresh bid. |
