Re: Virgin

We should claim a % of whatever 'bailout' that the Government give Virgin. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: There is no bail-out, pure spin from the Department for Transport and HMG - not to mention dozy Shadow Transport Ministers, Lord Adonis et nauseum. Most blame lies with the DfT for not making th...

Re: Bob Hardisty and the 1948 Olympics

This is a great book on the 1948 'Austerity' Olympics - a real collaborative effort to get the games on - well recommended. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Austerity-Olympics-When-Games-London/dp/1845137205 An interesting article here too: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2012/mar/30/london-1948-olympics-...

Re: Interview with York CEO in York Press

York City often offer friendlies as a way of paying for players too - remember this? http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/9791451.McReady_leaves_Quakers_for_the_Minstermen/?ref=arc Like most others, I'd rather the friendly was ignored and we simply gave the entrance money direct to DFC. Not that I ...

Re: Dave Hodgson

We need someone who is hungry to work at our level and do well for himself and the club.

Hodgson is far from being that man.

Re: Forest Green

Forest Green are one of the strangest clubs I've ever come across. All the food being vegan, plans on building a wooden stadium and a bunch of gimmicky eco-friendly ideas all over the place. Anyone know a £100m vegan businessman willing to buy into our club? The stadium is due in the next 5 years a...

Re: DFCSG

Portsmouth have presented 2 models following the interjection from Disney. I suspect that is the way forward with a neutral stance taken by the supporters club.

Re: Swansea fan

Always had a soft spot for Swansea (despite the welcome we often got at the Vetch).

I knew Richard Lillicrap who was a leading light in the setting up of the Swans Trust and who helped get them back on their feet. Sadly not with us anymore to see their success.
