BPAS Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 In the second part of this 2-part bonus episode we talk to 2 of the 3 individuals that make up the group known as the FLG.

yarddog73 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Great listen that and thanks Andy I thought you covered everything us fans would want to ask. On the back of that though and I'm not crabbing what OASF and PTB are doing but I feel we need to revert back to the initial plan of shareholdings, personally I'm not wealthy but I'd donate a four figure sum either straight up or over five years if it meant we could secure our destiny and future, I am still reluctant to put anything in to the 1895 fund as ultimately donations are never going to be enough to get us anywhere, that's just my opinion mind. Surely a deal can be brokered with Blitz going back to plan A? We are three years down the line and are effectively back to square one and we've dropped two divisions in that short time, we don't really have time to see what develops because we are sinking further as every season passes by. I'll reiterate a point I've made before and that is that Barry Owen needs removing for the club to move forward, he goes out of his way to create problems for the football club and I can only assume that is because he has his own agenda, we are not moving forward whilst this stench is in the fold and it saddens me that he has been allowed back in to the fold but more so that Shez is prepared to work with the absolute fuck wit.

Long overdue bit of transparency but my misgivings have been relieved somewhat. They certainly come across far better than the current custodians I'm also pleased for Simon Brooke after his struggles. I've given him a hard time in the past but whenever I met him he has always come across as a pleasant and decent person who I know was treated appallingly by Corney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Be interesting to see some "meat on the bones" with regards to the share offer rolled out to the Foundation by the FLG, just before the fans forum. From memory, when the the then Trust was approached 2019 it was 51% fan ownership, by second meeting 6 month later (FSA in attendance) it had been reduced to 49%. Seeing an update would be good. Did the Foundation say business plan and stuff by the AGM? It literally, is in our hands. Lots of hard work to do. I believe you need to add on a good 10% for costing, admin, legal etc. So valuation being done is a bonus Was it £20K I think I heard? ouch. Asset locking BP is a must so we don't go through this mess again Forgot to add. Good listen, good questions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scabbing people for 18 months at least I'd reckon. Paid 2 (Rochdale and Orient) games, skyvip the other (good friday). I can sleep easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Did I hear correctly on the podcast then that the floodlights being up to standard are dependant on those in the North Stand being in use? If that's the case I'd shut the stand completely for night matches and let the club sort that out for themselves, if Shitpeas wants to play clever cunts I'd be going down that route 100%. Fuck them.

Pretty sure the hundreds you've given have helped prop up the current owners cash flow when needed. Advertising revenue is often linked to ST sales etc. Too selfish to give up going for the greater good. All very pathetic really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tGWB Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Am going to get a hammering for this but these are my thoughts, in no particular order on episode 1 & 2 A long but worthwhile listen, well orchestrated by Andy with both Paul and Simon coming over as well intended If what we heard is to be believed, it makes no sense at all that the Club cannot find agreement with the OEC on using the North Stand catering services. Barry 'Vladimir' Owen appears to be waging a one man war with both the owner and management, using his position at the club at the expense of both our supporters and clubs best interests Once the conversation started to get into the 'nitty gritty' of quite a few historical issues around the raising of finance to fund house building, the North Stand build and more recently raising money to buy the stadium off Brassbank, with the icing on the cake being the implication that a 'Russian' or 'Foreign' loan at very decent rates had just fallen through, my red flags were madly flapping Regarding the mechanics of valuation of the stadium by Paul, regardless of the current tenants in the North Stand of the OEC and Gym, there is absolutely no way that our stadium in its current state compounded by our National League status can have such commercial valuations applied. Building a Hotel nearly crept into the conversation as well Nothing I listened to has changed my mind that the £numbers that are being asked for by the selling parties, are simply off the scale bonkers and unworkable, hence why we still have Blitz / Brass bank as our landlord and the Lemsagam Regime owning our Club Saying all that, we are quickly running out of time and we should listen to anything to try and save us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
