No they don't, most mobiles have wi-fi capability if its switched on. But when switched off or where no wi-fi is available your network's 3G/4G signal is used. The no internet at the club excuse is pathetic in this day and age. Even if they are having problems getting permanent internet sorted, buy a [SwearFilter] dongle as a temporary measure. Its not rocket science!
I was getting a pretty reliable email service on a Nokia Communicator in the early 2000's via a cellular network :ugeek:

Might even still be in a drawer somewhere, could offer the club a free upgrade.

I watch Sky go, youtube and other streaming sites on my mobile so this lack of internet excuse is nonesense.

Delish pies ok; Greens better.

Internet - perhaps we could get a mobile mast in a corner of the ground? Oh, hang on...
Sorry mate, but Delish steak and potato are so much better than Greens potato and meat.

But the best pie gravy goes into them in The Grange Bakery (up by FGH) steak and gravy pies proper good stuff that.

Interesting point raised about FGR club debt running at £5.4m. Seemingly unfazed by this, their owner is taking this hit, his point / justification being- "From next season clubs in league 2 will get £1m per season and in this league you get nothing, so to become financially stable, getting into League 2 is a massive part of that. When we achieve that overnight we'll be running virtually at break even."

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35005322

That's his thinking- get out of this league and we'll financially within our means. Not sure if it's a good way to operate as promotion in football is not guaranteed, that's why it's all the more crucial for our club to generate income all year whilst we hope the club stays within reach of the ordinary fans. This is why we also need a strong influential Trust.

In a recent court hearing brought by his ex wife for an improved divorce settlement his net worth was estimated at £188 million so I dont think he will be too worried about debts and we all know when divorce settlements are estimated there's usually a large amount not declared he also may be running this debt up for divorce reasons.

The final (part 4) part of the Paul Casson Q&A - Community is now available online at http://bluebirdstrust.co.uk/paul-casson ... community/

We hope you have enjoyed reading the views of the chairman and his fellow directors to your questions.

Another q&a is in the pipeline, we'll let you know who it will be with and how you can ask your questions as soon as it is confirmed.

Thanks Richard. I thought PC came across as quite defensive and sharp in this section. But i understand the pressures must be pretty hefty with everything that he is trying to achieve at the club. All round good Q&A`s to be honest. Regarding three people working at the club on different shifts (mid week) that's prob the answer as to why things are a bit slow? only one person there at a time is what this actually means.

CEO is a massive role in any organisation, ultimately responsible for delivering the vision and mission for the club.

WOW! Thats very straight to the point and interesting.


The internet at the club is being used as every excuse.

Its been over 18 months , its not good enough. It cant be hiddem behind forever.



The club simply needs to employ someone who loves sales targets and bonuses.

Watch the off the pitch business boom after thats done.

This contractual thing with the official website is a real puzzle. Be nice to know what its all about. Does any one know whats behind it for real? If not, why cant we be told? Its not like its gonna bring the country down like. Help us to understand whats going on.

Surely you aren't suggesting the chaplain has hidden the Internet?

I think we should be told.
