The Laundry Basket

Seems to be conflicting accounts of what happened post match with some saying it was an orderly retreat by Fraeye and the fragrant Ms Meire, others that they completed an evacuation via the kit van more befitting the last days of a tin-pot dictatorship. Clubs employees have gone onto social media to call the BBC reporter who first published the claim a "liar" (rather apt given Meire's reputation) so does anyone actually know what did happen? Suspect the laundry basket will feature in future protests regardless ...

Why would the BBC reporter make it up ? He was a local reporter for Colchester matches so knows the layout of the stadium well, he isn't on the payroll of either club and is presumably impartial either way. I'm not saying the story is true or false, simply I don't see what the BBC reporters motive to lie would be.4

there was a team coach os the main entrance
there was a club minibus os a side entrance
the interim one travelled up on one
he travelled back on the other
any references to laundry baskets alive or dead are purely coincidental
do not let the club deflect from what was a completly unacceptable performance1 -
Despite what I wrote earlier on other threads I don't know for sure what happened, and was inspired somewhat by the Neil Kelly posting.
I saw it in rather a poetic light both as an apt image and an analogy for our situation.
It does seem a bit like travel plans were being altered though.0 -
Part of the cost cutting exercise. It's Fraeye and Meires' turn to wash the kit so they went out to the laundry van to divvy it up.
Another step forward towards the glory days of breaking even...somebody pinch me what exciting times!
Am not going to be able to contain myself when that first set of balanced financial statements are published. It will be the stuff of folklore.13 -

I wonder if the whole point of the minibus being there was to provide Ms Meire with secure matchday travel, the trains having presumably lost their appeal.14

Should a mini bus that Valley Gold has purchased for the Academy be used for the CEO and Head Coach to be ferried around in?21

I am totally convinced he went out in a linen basket!! No smoke without fire as they say.2

As has been pointed out on other threads, there's a video of KF signing autographs outside the ground after the game, not appearing in any rush to dive into a laundry basket.
Why our fans were asking for his autograph, I'll never understand.11 - Sponsored links:

I guess the subject of this thread may rank as the least likely subject ever0

Was it our fans asking for autographs?
I have not seen the video BTW0 -
It's obvious - he has been promoted to interim laundry manager.6

It doesn't matter what the actual truth of this is. The sad thing, for them, is that the laundry basket story is believable and will become accepted as what happened. That's the trouble with liars, in the end whatever they say, or is said at their behest, is dismissed.9

I want to hear them deny it. Horses mouths.1

I have it on good authority that no laundry baskets were harmed during The Great Escape.

The only reason I can think a mini bus was there is that they live further up the A12, which we know is not the case. This bit about them not all going back to Sparrows Lane is BS, they could have had a drop off point on the M25 ( the QE bridge sounds a good place). If it was a VG minibus more reason to withdraw from it.JohnnyH2 said:Should a mini bus that Valley Gold has purchased for the Academy be used for the CEO and Head Coach to be ferried around in?

Redchaser, they Reckon we all have a doppelganger somewhere in the world ?
I found out mine lives in Munich, and supports Bayern,
Has a big Brieftasche and has a beautiful young Fraulein on his arm.
The German word that is being used in relation to CAFC is Schadenfreude;
And that is no laughing matter !
PS. Say hello if you see me at Hull, I will be dressed as a Zebra and standing on a soapbox.1 -
So he / they didn't leave hidden in a laundry basket then ?0
