One side only. He says not many of the Stewards have CRB checks. All SIA qualified have CRB checks.

There was expectation from some quarters.

Well Monday and Tuesday came and went!

No suprise there in view of our poor season. http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/countycricket2008/content/story/364805.html Terry quits as Hampshire manager Cricinfo staff August 12, 2008 Paul Terry, the Hampshire manager, has announced he will be leaving his role at the end of the season. "Results haven't gone the way I or the club would have liked, I feel it's the right time to stand aside and give them time to find someone else," he told the BBC. "You get driven by results but they haven't been good enough this year, we haven't done all the disciplines well enough, particularly our batting and catching. "Things haven't gone to plan with overseas signings, Shane Bond had a few injuries, Shane Watson had to pull out a week or so before he was due here but we've been lucky with our current one Imran Tahir. "But I'm of the belief that if you rely on your overseas players then you're not going to be a particularly strong squad." Hampshire have had a difficult summer in both the Championship, where they sit third from bottom of Division One, and the Pro40, where they are propping up the first division. © Cricinfo http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/display.var.2423361.0..php http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/counties/hampshire/7556006.stm

The initial innvestment be in the football club alone? The rest will develop over a period of time but they will at least be in pole position. The value of SLH is immaterial if a figure per share has already been agreed. For those who think buying a company out of Admin is the best approach, remember that to get to that position the company is ****ed and it will take a lot longer and more costly to restore former glories However, it has not happened and I am still sceptical. Everything is said to be in place, except it seems the most important ingredient, the money.

I believe Dr Warner was an assistant doctor working at SMS but left during the Burley era.

I said slow I believe it is ******* feeding but it is my opinion based on something I was told in May, not a known fact

Let's say that Fulthorpe has made enquiries with the local council regarding planning for the surrounding area and the hint is that it will be easier if any future includes ownership of the ailing football club. Fulthorpe is a Barrister specialising on planning. Cousins is a developer so has the ideas? Merrington is the football "expert" So their main aim is to save SFC but the development is the carrot to get big investors interested. I firmly believe they are facilitators (with a fat fee in mind) No different to LLS or Tommac but perhaps with more experience is the areas that matter. Like Derry says and you agree, it just does not stack up. Is a deal close or is it only at the promise and interest stage? The latter for me with a slow fizzle out.

Ah, thought you might know that. Never mind. My information may be wrong

Is the main man in town yet?

Good inside source or a bit of guess work on your part?

Has he?

This is not the usual overpaid Saints players thinking it will be a stroll and letting everyone down. This is a team of eager youngsters with plenty to prove 2-0 to Saints

There can be talks without informing the Stock Market imo.

Would be interested to see the future loss of earnings calculation ie the multiplier and multiplicant used. Any solicitors out their with free access to Law Reports? Bit different from Steve Mills £65,000 when he was retired from football due to his injury in the early 80's

Never heard of head hunting?

I just used the forum link, logged into my paypal account and all done with immediate access as a full member.

Could be an interesting week Mind you people such as Cousins and those connected to him have been saying this since mid May, end of May, end of June, before the season starts, last week and now this week. I have my doubts it will happen but what do I know.

From the time you posted this I assume you did not attend the match, read or listen to the reports. You prejudice is clear. Sound reasoning appears beyond your limited capabilities. I did not attend but having heard the Sky after game report, read the echo report and listened to some who attended the game it seems that Davis kept us in the match and was not at fault for either goal.

Agree with all you say.

Well the season starts today. Much optimism with a new board, management team, playing system and more importantly young players who are hungry to prove their worth. Will we get a good start? The last time we won out first game of the season was Coventry away, 1-0 in 1999. Time to do it again? It will take time for the youngsters to gain experience. We may suprise a few with our 4-2-1-2-1 formation, our pace and eagerness to regain any lost ball. But will we be able to score in front of goal? Will we have the strength to come up against the brute force of this league? The pre season games against Premier footballers and the brutes that is Stoke City suggest we might. Bring it on. Oh, and a prediction? Sorry fellow Saints supporters but we have lost the last three at Cardiff without scoring. I see that pattern continuing today. 1-0 to Cardiff but enough effort to suggest a better season for us overall.

When they were 55-5 I spoke to Jack Rudolph and he said the wicket was ok, just usual Yorkshire batting. Spoke to Nick Pothas at lunch and he said there was nothing wrong with the wicket, just good bowling. The fact we scored an unbeaten opening stand of 108 proves the point. A very good and important win.

Go home to your own forum Tris!

LLS is still about. He reads this forum under a different name, was on this evening, but no longer posts. Marc, if you read this give me a call. St David is on under a different name as well i think. He does post but is too tight to pay his fiver

Hardly, he is away this week
