Trust Meeting with Ben Mansford

Thar winning that argument at minute, to be fair.

Yer basterd.

 

Well I enjoyed it, best entertainment down there in yonks

 

Plus I was right...

Know my **** me.

 

Can you ask him or those in charge of the ground ,as a whole, when was the last time the seats where washed. Pigeon **** all over, a few unused seats around me are absolutely filthy and yet we would expect new fans to come and sit on these. Litter on the floor thats been there a couple of games.

Have we lost all sense of pride in what we have or dont they give a stuff abart the fans only the coin they bring.

 

Are you talking about last night? I was out for a smoke when a couple of lads were thrown out. No idea what they'd done or if it was justified, but the behaviour of his mates afterwards wasn't up to much. "You ******* nonce" shouted at the top of his voice from one lad to a steward, was just one of many screams of abuse slung at the club officials as a great gang of lads, trying to look threatening and intimidating, congregated around the stewards who were manning the gate. It looked like it might escalate as the shouts got louder and more frequent and the lads geed themselves up, but a bloke in wheel chair, who was with a young kid, had a go at them for the language and after some initial aggression back at him, it then calmed down.

 

No, me and Dyson were arguing like women over who was better, RNL or DJ, at the Wednesday game in October. Dyson is winning on that one at the minute.

 

Great point, pal.

Me and bossman spend five minutes cleaning the bird **** off our seats.

 

Bang out of of order.

My point was just that from the West all I can see is Hi Viz jackets wandering up and down the steps in the top left hand corner and last night there were kids being shifted left right and centre along with two fellas just stood at the end of the row.

I'm just interested what has brought it about. I'm sure plenty of lads would be wound up if their mates were thrown out, regardless of age.

 

To be fair mate, it wasn't an argument who was better. It was an argument that Jennings had hardly played and folk were moaning because he came on and was ****.

 

Aye, I was wrong to be fair. We'd just been pegged back by Wednesday and he was playing like Kevin Donovan on acid, so I wasn't happy.

Plus I had bird **** on my seat.

 

I agree with JLWBL. It's been a gripe of mine for years and I fear it's going to take a broken leg or worse for something to be done down there. Surely we can put our Ponte floodlights on for 20 minutes after a game so cars and fans walking can feel safer?

Be nice to find a way out of the Lindleys contract due to ***** service. Burgers look so luke warm and the cheese slices used so processed that the slices don't look to melt onto the burgers. They never have any trays to carry drinks in when charging a rip off 2.10 for a warm drink they can at least make sure fans can carry them away safely without fear of dropping them, by providing a tray that would cost a few pence.. Last season hot chocolate was Cadburys and this season some tasteless crap brand that i've never heard of. Them thin wooden stiring sticks are garbage. Three slow people serving despite big queues when just adding a 4th server and speeding up ever so slightly would make a big difference. Hot dog sausages look that bad that i'd rather go hungry than pay for one.

When was our drainage last looked at? Within the stands when it rains you get a few inches of excess water with nowhere to go so end up being splashed by kids running about and needing to change out of wet/dirty clothes when you get home. At least give the stewards a brush to try and sweep some through the gaps in the advertising boards out of the stands.

Always TVs around not switched on. Last night it was the one by the beer queue. No point spending cash on new TVs for them to not be on.

 

Might be squirrel **** if tha sits near Bossman.

 

Is it true that we are looking to ditch Nike, and have in principal agreed a deal with another supplier!? Also, I've heard we are getting a new local sponsor!

 

I turned up to a pre-season game a couple of years ago and my seat was covered in bird **** so I had to sit elsewhere. I emailed the club and asked them if someone could clean it, but nothing happened. Fortunately, as I was expecting nothing to happen I took some baby wipes to the next game and did it myself.

If I had paid 20 odd quid to go to the theatre and my seat was filthy I would expect the staff to clean it and they probably would do so there and then. Football is different though and we continue to get treated like we'll put up with anything, which we invariably have to.

 

Look I can't help it if I like to carry one round wif me in mi pocket

 

The tele on the wall at the North Stand side of the East Lower hasn't been switched on for the last two games, can we have it back on please

 

At least tha knows that thee and squirrel`s armpits dunt stink if he sits next to thee.

 

Idea for half time entertainment

Mansford and Sums:

Ben explains to us the complex financial equations required to run a small town football club and gives us the lowdown on just why it's quite so f@cking difficult to have functioning tellies and a scoreboard. Obviously accompanied by assorted public school toffs pretending to be Oirish and playing didlly-dee pseudo folk tunes.

 

I think the problem with the TV's is we only have 1 remote and some scally wag keeps hiding it behind the condiments
