    That's just leaving room for expansion!

    I'll freely admit that my interest, after 43 years, is at an all time low and that it has been heading in that direction for the last seven years. Clearly I am not alone but equally clearly I still care to some degree otherwise I wouldn't be on here. In all the gloom I can't help wondering if there is anyone out there who is preapred to do something constructive about it rather than just whingeing. It seems obvious that the trust is the answer but I don't know what it stands for anymore.

    Didn't Oxford build themselves a much better stadium than their old one?

    I think it may well do so but you are asking someone to invest unrealistically - not really much of an option. I don't doubt for a second that TTA would sell if soomeone came along with the funds to develop as we all might wish but I'm afraid it just isn't going to happen.

    I don't think anyone is naive enough to think that such things can actually be promised, are they? If you don't do fair then how about doing realistic?

    Deal. Please make out the registration document in the name of Mr Ian Mark Naive

    Yes, I think we can say that they have failed and I'm sure they and their bank balances are well aware of that fact. I don't know them, I've never met them but I dolknow that there are many other club owners who would have walked away by now rather than trying to leave things on a stable footing. If you want to criticise them for that then that's you prerogative but I don;t think it's especially fair.

    It's more or less impossible to ignore what you write as it's on just about every thread. I do agree that we are heading nowhere but I put that down to the apathy of the town in the face of what, to be fair, are a myriad of competing and much more attractive attractions. TTA coming in put off the evil day and while they may well have made mistakes they were and probably are the only game in town.

    For the love of God, you're right, everyone knows you're right, I came to the same conclusion myself about seven years ago. So do something about it. Don't ask me what, I don't know the answer. I tried once, I failed. Doesn't mean to say there isn't an answer out there somewhere but banging on about it on a messageboard sure as hell ain't it.

    Can I sell you a second hand car?

    It's very simple but our spineless football authorities won't do it. If a club commits to spend more than a percentage of its turnover on transfers, wages etc, normally through the largesse of its chaiirman, then they should have to put up a bond which would guarantee the payment of contractual sums for, say, two years in the event of their departure.

    If you think that's true you're kidding yourself. Rochdale are odds onto go up, and good luck to them. It certainly doesn';t address every aspect because apart from the 5 league posstions I can't think of any aspect in which we are bettter off than Dale.
  15. Dave_Og
    How are we better than Rochdale at the moment? Every aspect? You have to be kidding

    does the first shot on target and the first corner around the 70 mins mark count as a figh back?
  17. Dave_Og
    I will never understand that as long as I live

    35 years now since we played Rochdale in the league - we went up in 74 and the ywent down. How odd that there is a distinct possibility of swapping divisions next year.

    That will be the other three words in the song - "Dirty Old Man". Little known fact that MOD was written as a satire on the introduction of decimal currency. I'm running the company quiz night tomorrow; that's the first question in the music round. It's also the theme of the film I've just finished writing. MOD not being played would be like the ravens leaving the Tower of London

    It was the Coca-Cola League - every club popped up . You don;t really think the club paid for space at Piccadilly Circus, the most expensive advertising space in the country, do you? Next up a slot in the advert break in the X Factor final

    Having a big tall youth player is quite a novelty. Pretty much everyone who has come through the youth team in living memory has looked like they need a good meal.
