Re: DFC Board very quiet on the Fundraising

Judging by the facebook post today, the board have realised the need to publicise the push to increase funding before the deadline. It's also pretty clear from the post that sponsorship for the stand and extra funding from commercial sources has not materialised. I'm beginning to think Johnson has g...

Re: Cartman

Don't know how much of that is true, but it is a bit concerning that Johsnon seems to have gone a bit quiet recently (has he?). New sponsors and investors don't seem to have appeared, although that doesn't mean no news is bad news of course.

Re: Admission prices

Didn't that also say at the fans forum that we had a surprisingly high percentage of concessions on a matchday? Something like 40%? I assume the "proof of concession rate entitlement may be requested" has always been in operation?

Re: Raj Singh's side of the story

Still doesn't answer the football share question. If the FA say they needed the football share are we to believe that the club didn't ask for it? Also, why didn't Raj go to the papers at that time to state his side of the story. Also, if he was really bothered about clearing his name, he would have...

Re: Martin Gray

Can he build a squad on a shoestring? I've only ever seen him churn through signings 'til he finds one that fits and overspend on the budget. To be fair, the cut was 80k, now it's 55k because of the boost the budget. It's not ideal for him as it stands, but neither is it a shoestring either. And in...

Re: Raj Singh withdraws investment interest

So it was the fans' fault that Richard Cook resigned and now its the fans' fault that Raj Singh has withdrawn his investment. I'm not sure who put out these club statements but they are getting a bit predictable now.

You can't ignore 125 years of history.

I don't see the point in letting someone buy a reasonable shareholding when we know they want more than 50% and we are sure we don't want them to have 50%. We may as well move on now. No, we know the investors want more than 50%. Singh is not the only investor. Also, 9% is not a shareholding that g...

I particularly like "Then from there, it’s only a small step back into the Football League." Yep a small step and a massive budget which Singh's 40k won't touch as it will be gone by end of this season. I don't mind people being honest but we will either be another Scarborough if Gray's budget drop...
