Tonight we hit a new low, we are now a bigger laughing stock off the field than on it (didn't think that was possible).
Radio Cumbria interview with our Manager he is offering to give his address to fans if they want to fight him, followed BY F------ and W----- in his interview at 5pm on a Saturday T-Time I always thought we were a Family Club ? (Radio Cumbria did try to apologise)
On Tuesday night I will be Complaining to as many of you as I can, followed the club for over 50 years and am 100% behind the Board but this Man has gone to far this time.

That was just a failed marketing ploy to get more of them and less of us in the ground. Byliss needs to go because he isn't a good enough manager. Anything else is irrelevant and would have been brushed under the carpet if we were top of the league and playing well.

That image went out of the window when Russel Dodd said he didn't want kids running round the place.

When did he say that?

The mystery benefactor may no longer want to be involved. Would you?

At the 'meet the board night' a few months ago Dave, in response to the suggestion of letting kids in free all the time. Is it rocket science to know that the kids of today are the fee paying crowds of the future? Astonishing comment.

He is ,but the board continue to drag there heels regarding his offer.

At the AGM before last. He said we didn't want to offer certain kids deals as we don't want a load of 5 year olds running about the place.

Yeah, that was it. I forgot the last AGM was so recently.

Righto, cheers.

Hope this takeover happens ASAP

Really? When we know nothing about it? I have been (and remain) a big critic of the BoD over the years and want to see the back of the Keens for sure, but I'd sooner have their well-meaning incompetence than a repeat of the devious and self-serving intentions of their predecessor. Let's keep a balanced, open mind until we have some concrete facts and proposals.

What takeover??

You just cannot allow anybody just to" Take Over" a club, for starters lots need to be sorted on ownership Etc., if an individual or a group want to take over the club as it is now a members club fair enough but not just to buy the 5/7 Acres of land the club sit on play football for a couple of years till they wind the club up then build on it, it would be worth millions not the £600K as it is now. something for the people on the committee to consider on the constitution.
