Secret Site Agent

I could have gone if it was next week, but stuck in Dagenham. Most appropriate choice of Church, I think and it will be packed, i reckon. Anyone who goes, any chance of a blow by blow, as I know i'll be there in spirit.

Just a quick view. As I saind, NOT scientific as it is only based on those around me that I have access too. But I find it strange that you don't support this? We in the construction industry normally end up with them after they have left the military, (in a lot of cases as Safety Advisors). I am of course biased and remove myself from making any judgement on those here, as I would agree to them being given what little tokens of appreciation we can. They, as I did, go where their told, and do what they are told by Politicians who only have their expensis to worry about. My point, as added in my edit above, is that we kill and maim more in construction, I believe, than have been killed this year in conflict and yet the feeling is that they are still deserving of preferencial treatment. All in my, and the workforce's here, honest opinion, which stops here.

Let me see now. I served my country with distinction, and I am now in Construction. Based on a survey of 89 people in construction that are under my direct control, the results are: If, as an industry we would be entitled to free tickets for sporting events, do you believe we should Give free Tickets to service Personnel : 77 % Don't Give free Tickets to service Personnel : 11 % Keep them for ourselves : 10 % Undecided : 2 % Not scientific I know, but the lads who work next to highspeed traffic with nothing but a 1m lump of plastic between them and certain death vote to give theirs away. Hardly scientific, but if we are entitled to free tickets Oh, and we kill and maim more in a year than the armed forces, and still think they are deserving of it.

Arn't all games 'Must Win'?

Yep.I regretted it as soon as I posted to be honest. I was shocked and quite taken aback, (I am also being Corporatly audited, which doesn't help). I think I was just trying to let people out there know that we don't have to worry about the club. Also, I would like to add that another Saint went marching in last night. Thanks to DBM for his apology, and DSM for editing my post, and stopping me coming across as a heartless twot. I hadn't realised my membership wasn't self renewing, so I couldn't edit it myself.

Scary as it may sound, I am starting to like you Alps. Either you're mellowing or I'm becoming a misable bastard in my old age. And I would be Honoured as it is a Great idea. WIFM

I can tell you exactly what happens next. Marcus legacy will be passed to whom ever is in his will as the benificiary. They will look at us and ask if we are a decent going concern. They will see a decent club, with a solid 5 year plan, of whihc we are in year 2, with decent revenue streams and a good chance of giving back a decent revenue return in the future. They will speak to NC and see what his vision is and if he can prove what he says. They will then (ahem) decide NOT to sell us as we are worth more beign developed than sold of for our component parts. We will still have a club to support, with plenty cash to back us up AS LONG as we show we will give a good return. Just image this. NC will have to do a Dragons Den run with the board and hope none of them say ' I'm out'.

Marcus, all my best and many thansk for everything you did. Not just for the club I love but for the other things you have done for industry. He's hoping you're enduing legacy can live on. Rest in Piece Condolences to the family.

Or how about if you support the Sun and the Echo, but don't buy either, you start buying them from now on!!!!!!!!

Or be brave enough, a maverick if you will, to pioneer something that everyone will be doing in a few years. After all, who introduced shirt sponsorship?

hang on a minute. So by banning photographers from the SMS we are stopping the advertsing in the press of a sponsor on our shirts that we ahven't got anyway because we don't need one. Okay.

Case in point. Four years ago and Contracts manager left us and took 8 highly paid members of staff to work for a local south coast outfit. The said outfit was then bought by a BIG international construction company. Of the 8 staff that left to go there, 6 were laid off, the 7th transfered to the the Big Parent and the 8th has just come back to work for us, (as my boss of all things). Never stops moaning about how it all changed and how **** it was even though: a) He left to go there of his own volition b) for **** loads of money c) he's come back into a better position that he had when he was here first, or that he would ave been promoted into in the time d) He don't work for them any more. Remember, the sqeekiest wheel gets the grease. we only hear the moans of the two disgruntled employees, not the silent contentment of the two thousand. philosopher in a former life Even I have missed my calling as a writer of greeting cards, or I was a Chinease Philosopher in a former life

I take on board what you are saying, and can see the merit in your argument. BUT When we DO get to the Premiership and we say to them they can only buy our offical sanctioned photos which is best? Option a) We only introduce it when we get to the premiership and cause us a lot more pain and anger, especially as they say that we are a big headed little team and look at the big 4 who DON'T do it Or Option b) When they winge we say, 'Hey. this is what we have always done.Been doing it for 3/4/5 years now' And maybe find that the big 4 are already doing it.

Yeh, but it's not like we can't afford it. Markus will just not be able to buy another Ivory back scratcher

well, I'm gasped out. I've never spent a whole match with you lot. You're all bloody mad!!!!!!!!!! Wouldn't change it for the world. GET IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

get in there. cahmberwnaber-owonopaperr by the sea put s one away. 'Here ya go, Lad.' 'Wow, thanks Mr Lambo. really, a goal for me?For real? Thanks Mr Lambo. You really are swell.' 'Call me Rickie, son, everybody does. And anything to **** off those Borneo twits and to shut up that f ing Alpine the f up'

I can. we were having this party and I wanted something posh for people to put their drinks on........... Oh, Sorry. I thought you said 'Doilie'

we're the disenfranchised, we're the disenfranchised, we're the disenfranchised over here!!!!!!

Phil. look out of your window. Do you see two dusky maidens and a dark skinned feller walking by? If the answer is YES then we must be in the same place.

Isn't it about time Barnard scored? He's always scoring on Fifa 2010!!!!

Phil, I'm in Dagenahm. Is that anywhere near you?

Came through on my phone first before I got here. I was afraid to look. Still want another two to kill them off and give me bragginbg rights.

Who the **** is Roger Day?

That why I like you, and not the Admin Department.

Well F me, this is more like it, a good debate................... Although I agree in part, I think we need to concentrate on a few games with Rickie on the Bench, I dont think we are as toothless as you say. We have a good squad on paper and time to improve. I know what you mean about two months but WHO is the big question. how do we know there weren't a number of who's who were WAY too expensive, (thanks to the agents) or turned out to be crap after being scouted, or who were being watched at the WC and failed to impress? we don't know. But we do know we still have time and losing a few wont hurt us. Hopefully it'll take some of the pressure off, and I think they need that. Today, I mostly disagree with Alpine, but do concede some points. ............................oh, and it's All Nicolas fault........................sorry, force of habit.
