The club is an absolute joke. One own goal after the other. Just heard that Edmo tried to put 7 days notice on a Wukky player only to be sent packing with his tail between his legs when told, he is on contract, you should know because you put him on it.

The fact that a player is on a contract doesn't preclude you from putting in notice to talk to him.

Spot on, but why let the facts get in the way of a good story!

I would and with a terrible rage and vengeance...but.

There was an incident in the Crossbar on Saturday where a stalwart supporter who has helped plough thousands pf pounds into the club was treated with utter contempt by a Director and a club employee. However the victim has asked me not to say anything about it and I've probably said too much already. It would seem the excesses of Bayliss still haunt the club - I've been going since the 60s and I'm on the point of jacking it in - irrespective of our status in the pyramid.

An apology just might help and it should be a good one.

This above is another example of the Cancer eating away at the club, why do they do this type of stuff ??

Another incident with a stalwart supporter?!

Is it any wonder that there is a rift between supporters and the BOD when we keep getting things like this happening. It's a huge shame that the anticipated takeover never happened, a change at board level is the fresh start that is needed, not just a new manager/players.

Last time i heard that John you were going to nail your season ticket to the back of Holker Street. lol still makes me laugh that one . I had visions of you bringng a hammer and a few nails with you for the next home game, just in case. You didn't do it then either, but it would have been funny if you did
Remember one particular "protest"(you talked me into) when we were on a bad run and we stood for most of the game with our backs turned and we missed every goal in a 3-0 win. Happy Days!. :flag:

anyway bollox to Chorley- get back to Holker Street. You know where your heart is. It can't be in this love affair with Chorley. Barrow is for life!
Remember that one John lol. Any way Barrow is my team. Shame i can get there every weekend as i would go. (Well not at present ) . i will frequent Holker Street in the new year for beers. I will bring some No Nails with me just in case

I have done similar work for the club but I am not going to expand on that topic.
Same thing happened to me last season, I was in the Cross Bar with my son just after halftime and a senior director who was very keen for us to leave was extremely impolite
"Come on drink up, you have to leave now"
I asked why?
"It's the rules"
When I asked to see the rules I was told that I would have to come back next week as they don't physically exist in print.
I tried to discuss the situation and was told
"I haven't got time for this and he stormed off"
One of the best examples of face to face PR I have ever experienced
We're all supporters on here. Let's leave the negative comments to the away fans

How selective.

UK Company rules stipulate that you’re supposed to submit tax returns by a given date; those are rules well worth adhering to as the fines for not complying with those rules can be extremely punitive.

So, any more evidence of human engineering/asset stripping for the conspiracy theorists?

Been to Tuesday night matches and will be attending over Christmas but I'm playing football on Saturdays now and must admit I'm largely not arsed about going to watch at the moment.

Really disillusioned after the Bayliss saga, the awful football and the general contempt most of the board treat us with.

The only positives are the GMA, Pete G on the board and the youth teams. Hopefully I'll get the bug again over xmas.
