Fair enough, misunderstood the tone of your post Agreed, as per my post just above.

And nor will there ever be, otherwise this place loses its independence in an instant. The club are obviously welcome to view the site and take poll results on board if they so choose (and I'm sure they have done in the past and will continue to do so, even if they wouldn't admit as much publicly), but I'm certainly not going to go down the route of any sort of "official" link, particularly one where they call the shots in terms of what questions are asked.

I think your concept of time might be lacking somewhat, I resigned from the board of the Trust in January 2008. For what it's worth, I'm not in favour of the idea. It'll only end up with the same old situation where those "in charge" get the "you don't speak for me" comments aimed at them, and as a result those people might decide to leave the forum as they feel it's not a "forum" in the true sense anymore. This forum has grown because of its diversity of opinion, forming a "group" like that would only serve to reduce that, IMO.

What a shambles.

Did it genuinely say that?! F'king hell...

As far as I'm aware, Jason's the vice-chairman.

I would imagine that most airlines aren't haemorrhaging money like they're Allen Stanford's investment returns.

That's an awful lot of convenient bull**** I'm smelling...

Cheers for the bug report - the major upgrade I've been promising for a while will hopefully take place on Sunday, so I'm hoping that problem has already been fixed in the new version of the forum software.

I'd be careful with the "you" usage, really... Are you too thick or ignorant or just on a plain windup (my most likely belief at the moment, given your particularly irritating and patronising smiley faces at the end of every single post) to realise that many people will have budgeted sensibly, perhaps even for the entire year, on the belief that a payment plan was going to be available for the months of, say, May through to November? It isn't even a case of people "not being able to afford it". I know people who are fairly well-off by most people's standards, and had budgeted for £200 per month over 4 months during the summer/autumn to pay for their two season tickets, as it's more convenient to them, and it allowed them to have a family holiday. Maybe the saying "assumption is the mother of all ****ups" rings true here, but having had a payment plan in place every year for as long as anyone can remember, it was perfectly reasonable planning to assume there was going to be a continuation of the scheme which allowed them a bit of money left over to spend on something else.

Who are you to comment on other peoples' financial situations? Seriously, who the **** do you think you are?

On the Ladbrokes site, you just select the 8 group winners, and then on the mini-slip on the right it shows the type of bets you can have and a box to put the stake... the Goliath one is at the bottom. With Ladbrokes, the maximum stake per line is £19.51, which would be a total stake of £4,818.97, but paying out a potential £36,144.50 Needless to say, I went nowhere near that amount

Am I missing something from UHY's quotes? I would have thought advancing a proposal that would obtain more money for the creditors is EXACTLY the sort of responsible position an insolvency practitioner should be taking...

I've got a £10 accumulator on the group winners, fairly obvious selections: France, Argentina, England, Germany, Holland, Italy, Brazil, Spain. Returns about £320. Also gone for a Goliath on the same selections, which should cover me nicely if one or even two of those make a mess of it. 247 lines at 10p a line, returns just under £200.

Because he's a good player, presumably

I thought we bowled reasonably given the low score to defend. Christian's catch off Briggs was a bit good...

Barry Hearn (Leyton Orient chairman) put that very proposal forward at the Football League's AGM, but the majority voted against it.

Fortunately they didn't bat much better, another slow wicket. I did laugh at the caricature sketches some fella on the boundary was drawing... here's Mark Cosgrove:

He'll probably add 1000 to the gate as well...

Worked well last season... It's an interesting theory, mind you.

I think HMRC reserved the right to challenge his appointment again in court.

To be fair, they've just taken the figure direct from UHY's CVA proposal. They've made no judgement on whether that figure is fair or otherwise.

Not sure if your memory is playing tricks on you, but you started a near-identical thread yesterday which is still running. Let's stick to that one...

Dunno what you're talking about... :smt035

Anyone need crew? Have you tried Willie Walsh?
