Swindon fan in peace , I cannot stress enough how much you need to be on guard if these 2 are sniffing around. Jed Mcrory is a real chancer and is currently being pursued by lee Power our chairman after he lost a High Court battle in the summer over the ownership of the club. He invested the princely sum of £1 to buy us when Andrew Black pulled the rug during the Di Canio era, Black wrote off the debts and Mcrory had to cover the ongoing running of the club. The first thing he did was to give himself a salary and lease a Bentley along with some Mercs for his 3 other cronies. Power was brought in by McRory to cover the losses and he invested 1.2 Million then Power brought in another on board and managed to kick them off when he found out about the money being taken out of the business. Jed was then finally taken off the board only to return towards the end of last season with an attempt to take over as the rightful owner all this after Power had put over 2 million in thankfully he lost and was ordered to pay 70k in damages. There is an episode on the channel 5 "cant pay we will take it away' in the coming weeks where rumoured baliffs turned up at the County Ground looking for Jed.
Protest and do whatever you can to steer clear of these shady characters good luck.
PS we are doing our utmost to beat the s**theads to the League 1 title

With all the vitriol that's been directed at the BoD lately, I would blame them at all. But there are people on here who are desperate to get rid of the current BoD. Be careful what you wish for I guess. That's Higgs and Dunford's one saving grace - "Hey, at least we're not asset stripping thieves". If Higgs sold to Agombar, I WOULD blame him.

Hereford fan here in peace! Basically guys even if this is a rumour start making noise about it NOW!!!!! At the time that Keyte sold HUFC to Agombar we were just glad to see the back of Keyte and all his lies, had we realised then that we'd jumped into bed with the devil we wouldn't have been so quick to welcome Agombar into our city! His 1st act was to promise us Conference status, his 2nd act was to not pay any of last seasons playing and non playing staff, his 3rd act was to relegate us 2 divisions into obscurity! Fortunately we woke up to his plans for developing Edgar St early on, and have lobbied the council and got our local MP Jesse Norman asking questions in parliament. I think now the penny is dropping for Agombar's puppet masters, and hopefully he's cutting his losses and finding another struggling club who's carcass he can feed off. Don't let that be BRFC! Start making noises now, take crudely made banners into the next game! Remember guys, prevention is better than cure!

Another Hereford fan in peace (and also in pieces!). Just got the heads up about your situation from our own fans forum, and I want to reinforce everything that my fellow Bulls Banter posters, have said on here. We were so glad to see the back of the pathological liar that is David Keyte, that we almost relieved when Tommy Agombar stepped up with his promised £7 million investment. And look where we are now! Agombar failed the ODI test, but, the FA now admits, they have no power of sanction with regard to that, so he's still hanging around Edgar Street, quite blatantly thumbing his nose at the FA. Of course, if prospective owners and/or directors had to take the fit & proper persons test BEFORE they were allowed to buy into a club, most of these problems might not have arisen. There again, they still might have, because TA has now put his puppet (did I mean muppet?) Andy Lonsdale to be a fugurehead whilst he continues his little game of trying to get his paws on the leases, so that the ground can be redeveloped, and he (and his cronies) can trouser a big profit. Don't let this happen to you. If you don't already have one, start thinking, and doing something, about a supporters trust. HUST have led the boycott that is blocking TA's plans, and it's also gained the attention of the Hereford Council, and the national media. I understand your concerns, but no matter how loud you shout as individuals, collectively, you'll have so much more power! Don't sit back & let the same thing happen to you as has happened to us. McCrory, Agombar, Lonsdale, are all out of the same mould, loads of promises, all claiming that football is there main interest, but there is always an ulterior motive. !!!!!!!BEWARE!!!!!

As previous Bulls fans have said BEWARE!!!! Do not let these parasites anywhere near your club.
Most HUFC fans are boycotting the club to starve them out, but believe me after 35 years of supporting my beloved Bulls, it is the worst thing any fan could have to do, kill it to get it back.
These people are SCUM!!!
DO NOT LET IT HAPPEN TO YOUR CLUB!!

As long as we've got the rules in place. A simple analogy is forbidden and wrong, condoning racism is okay. As long as we all know where we stand.
It was an analogy. You think I support or like the subject of the analogy? I don't. I hope you've never made a close to the knuckle joke or analogy, but then you're obviously perfect so clearly you haven't.
I wasn't taking the moral high ground, I was saying that someone saying a racist thing was exactly that. If you don't understand why that's racist, this conversation is pointless.

Sorry but as well as being a MOD I have a full time job, also a father, also run a business (not the full time job) am also a first responder. So at times I only view the forum at odd hours of the day and manly on a Sunday.

i think its about time some people on here grew up and read their own posts before planting them on here, some of the comments are pathetic and not even worthy of a place in the drunken pub section, freedom of speech is a wonderful thing,embrace it for ALL to appreciate it, and not let you own derrogatary [sp] thoughts get in the way of a good argument.......... as i think this type of attitude may well be the downfall of this forum also

From within the depths of an OTIB thread last week:
"I was on a train to London on Saturday and 4 women were chatting about a guy and my ears *****ed up when one said 'he offered me a job when he owned Swindon (Town) and he has offered me a job at Bristol Rovers.' her friend asked 'has that gone through'. 'Not yet but its been agreed and going through due diligence'."
Probably BS but worth keeping an eye on.
