Latics and England Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 3 hours ago, underdog said: but.....Al has now invested in re-vamping the current 02 suite. I take the point but having gone in before the game against the vegans I must say I was massively disappointed. From what I could see the revamp appears to have just been a coat of paint (I hear the kitchen was renovated but as I don't think they do food I am not sure what that achieves). It was also a bit bizarre that the bar closed at 2.30 and by 2.50 the barman was walking round telling people to leave. Surely the whole point of a bar at the ground is that you can pop in at the last minute to grab a quick pint. It is a reasonable meeting place but it is far from what I thought we were getting (however many years ago it was that I thought we were getting something).

I have not been in it as a bar for a couple of seasons now and we will not be using it anymore for trust meetings so i won't be seeing it soon.

leeslover Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 7 hours ago, Stevie_J said: Possibly. I haven't heard that. But is that for the Trust as shareholder, rather than the OAFC director, who happens to be there because of the agreement with the Trust? Correct. Trust Directors could only be liable for 3 x £1 of OAFC losses. The Trust member on the OAFC Board, such as it is, has full responsibility as an OAFC Director.

LaticsPete Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Excellent piece on Notts County and the implosion under owner Alan Hardy. https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2019/jan/26/alan-hardy-notts-county-league-two-football-league?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Owners/chairmen have historically run clubs in an autocratic manner. Heaven help any employee who crossed Bob Lord, Ken Bates, Peter Swales etc. If it goes right then fans don’t care - it’s when it doesn’t that we seem to get upset about the means.

BP1960 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Alas, it looks like a couple of my striker recommendations won't be coming here now. A previous recommendion scored 2 on his away debut recently in Div One, so we probably weren't going to get him anyway. More info after the deadline.
