  • Really excited to hear an update about the Auusie bid.
    Almost a year since they turned up wearing scarves to the play off game.
  • If it were not for the fish, car, shoe, teeth, Willy, puns where would this thread  be ?
    It be on page 3 or would've become a complete nonentity.
    If it were not for James Seed having contact with an Aussie consortium, where would this thread be ?
    We be on page 3 or would've become a complete nonentity.
    If it were not for Airman Brown and insider info where would this thread be ?

    If it were not for Roland Duchatelet where would we be ?
    We be in the Premier, and having a sex wee.

    Many thanks to Billy Connolly.
    What you got against pot noodles. Maybe page 2, away from the titties.

    Still in negotiations.



    Think we can all guess who the fella on the left with the horns is (clue: one of his cloven hooves is being held together with duct tape)...

    I'm going to move on to antique roadshow analogies.
    If theoretically a belgiqie man were to buy a vase at a billionaires boot fair for 60 million. He gets it valued and they say the price is fair for an item of its history but with a new lick of paint and a small investment he could auction it off for a 100million+. 
    He comes back a few years later and he's ruined the paintwork by hiring all the wrong people to paint/restore it and dropped the value to 30 million max. The valuation expert tells him as such and yet he thinks he has done a magnificent job and puts it up for 70 million. 
    You cannot expect anybody to pay that much for a ruined product and it doesn't sell. 

    Thus I have no I'll wish on the aussies or any other potential buyer. In an auction situation where the owner is stubborn enough with a reserve it will never sell and neither will we.

    But you all already know this. I just wanted to throw more obscure analogies out there.

    Has anyone done a house buying one yet?

    Yes but house auctions involving owner renovation caused damages haven't 😉

    I’m interested to know if the meetings are cordial?
    I realise that you don’t have Duchatalet sitting in front of you.....but surely you tell LDT that you don’t believe a word he is saying and then explain why?
    I have this picture of you all just sitting there and listening to his load of crap and being polite.
    Please tell me that isn’t so and that you show significant anger and leave him in no doubt that you see him simply as a mouthpiece for Duchatalet and therefore much of what he is saying cannot be believed.
    He needs to be made to feel extremely uncomfortable and leave The Valley after each meeting knowing that we know he’s lying through his teeth on his bosses behalf.....plain and simple.
    5 interested parties my arse!!!!
    A bit of fist banging on tables wouldn’t go amiss, make him feel f’ing as awkward as possible, no matter how amiable and reasonable he may appear......I’m pretty sure he’s a smooth operator and as such would make some of those attending feel awkward in showing a degree of hostility towards him but enough is enough guys!
    Finally, let him know loud and clear that St Truiden/ Belgium is firmly in our sights again, should it be deemed necessary.

    I’m glad to hear that Ben.....could you be a bit more enlightening as to the tone and general atmosphere.
    Is LDT given a hard time then?

    I know this meeting is re the takeover, but can someone ask what the fuck is going on with the management teams contracts. Please feel free to use the word fuck! (sorry admin). We're a month away from the end of the season for God sake!!!

    I may be asking why they are wasting all our time when there is nothing of substance to tell us, assuming there is nothing of substance to tell us..

    something on those lines at least

    Hard questions are asked (at least they were when I was there) and statements are challenged.

    Not sure what people expect?  If attendees started banging tables or calling him a **** does makes us look good or confirm the regime's prejudices.

    Some people will demand this , that and the other from behind a keyboard while at same time dismissing it all as a waste of time. And then want the minutes up in minutes.

    I know that when LDT met another attendee who is very much involved with CARD (not CAST) he was surprised and a bit taken aback that that  lifer was actually quite normal (debatable :smile:  ) and polite while giving LDT a hard time over his lies.

    The way the graffiti nonsense was dismissed as not relevant at the last meeting and the way the plan to split ownership of club and ground was instantly condemned shows that at least some attendees are not passive.

    The meetings will always be less than satisfactory under this regime but that is due to the regime not the fans.

    But for now it is one, if not the only, way we can speak directly to and question the regime.
    thank you.

    What time is the  fans forum tonight?
  • 1606, the first version of the Union Flag is introduced.
    I'll be very upset if The Flight of the Earls isn't mentioned for 1607.
