Nice to see yet another of your positive posts Steve - you inspire me with your support for my club Is it not possible to support the team and not the regime? Exactly right, dagnogo. |

I had to laugh at the comment about skills required on the board. He rambled on about an IT expert because the new stadium is complex.
Is it the case then that the IT infrastructure sh not been specified? If not how does he know how much it will cost?
If he does not know then how does he know the stadium build is fully funded?
Yes he may have inserted a budget into the project costing, but if he has no expertise in IT as he says then it will be a finger in the air exercise, again.
Just one small example of the chaos I think in the administration of the club. Another rambling and defensive interview utterly devoid of responsibility and leadership.
The bit about Wardy wanting to move up after 15 games, but then did after 8 games a gem in farce.
Unbelievable.

I have just listened to it and the responses re: the UWE Stadium worry me greatly. Earlier this year we were told that building work would start at "the end of the summer" which has today changed to "I hope to announce something positive in the next few months" UTG

He has made us the joke of the lower Leagues maybe even English football.
His pompous and arrogant approach to the club and other clubs in transfer dealings and his general
inability to behave with the gravitas of a Chairman has cost us all dearly.
Another awful example on live Radio again today.

I was also concerned with his comment about the Mem sale now no longer effectively covering the cost of the UWE.

Having looked at the requirement for the new stadium and the automated systems they are going to use, i think this is way beyond an Ex IBM system programmer like me !
I stick to fixing simple PC's & laptops and the pile of crap called apple computers
The system being spec'ed for the UWE is very american if you know what i mean, lets hope they know the difference between a gate and a turnstile !
Get used to having a ticket less entry system people its on its way !

Henbury ... I always value your view mate but I stand by what I said.
A Pompous, Arrogant , Know -all who I sadly believe has fatally damaged my / your / our club.

Blimey, Geoff didn't pull any punches there did he?
That was a very difficult listen, I cringed nearly all the way through.
His very careful choice of words regarding the stadium leads me to believe that the thing is definitely dead. The fact that he has also been exposed as a liar just makes it worse.

Does Twentypence sound echoey or is it just me?

Am I right that Kevin has to apologise to the board for things that the board have been unable to be specific about or have yet to show any proof of?
Seems a deliberately unlikely scenario.

Yes he is all that and more, but in the cold light of day he can only state what he thinks as the chairman of BRFC. I think the whole issue over Keven Spencer reminds me of two rutting raindeer in season, nobody wants to back down and loose faith The stadium issues are still being resolved and are subject to Non disclosure orders - the fun i have in getting info out of my friend re planning is like trying to get blood out of stone and i have to word it very carefully so the finger won't point to my friend. The issues with JW sounded good but the truth be known john wanted to leave at the end of last season and was talked into staying longer with the proviso that he would employ a replacement - they should have thanked him for what he did for us and say goodbye |

Agree with that.... I thought at times JW looked quite ill last season ...must have been hard for him with all that was going on at home.

I think that Geoff has done brilliantly in this interview ... some real edge , feels like he is quite angry with it all.
