The 'if you can't buy the club don't have an opinion' argument is hilarious!
If you don't attempt to be a Member of Parliament don't bother voting.

I think that would cause a serious problem to at least one board member you would want loads of money in your hand before the club enters administration... Wouldn't that cause a serious problem to at least one board member? For what it's worth, I don't think for a second that they will put the FC into administration. It's beginning to sound like you have a hidden agenda to discredit the BoD? lets face the facts :- reduced revenue to due relegation from the football league Massive loan from a "Wonga" type company Ex Board members wanting large lumps of cash Current Board members wanting out of the club Gross mismanagement of the club as stated by many people on this forum for many years Sainsbury pot of gold not going to happen any time soon No knight in shining armour coming to the rescue The only conclusion you can draw from that is Administration is it not ? Or is there another explanation for these events ?

Sady this will never happen as some miserable b******s will always moan. They were when these forums first started and the same lot are still moaning and they will be in another 20 yrs however well/ badly we do. It's just the way some 'fans' are I'm afraid. Well that's not proven because the only time we've done well since 2006 was a 2 month spell in 2007. The 9 years as a whole has been 'badly' and left us still in a clapped out stadium, but no longer a league club. The club was failing when these forums first started, and still is. That 2 months spell of luck and chemistry has been more than flushed down the pan. Is it 'moan' or 'express disappointment with the way the club is appallingly run and the resultant sub-optimal performance'? Which is the better 'way' for 'fans' to be: applauding failure or aiming higher?

'The only time we've done well since 1995 [as above]. To be fair, I think up until the early 2000s, most people were pretty positive and willing to put failure down to unfortunate misjudgements that would be righted. It was when they got compounded rather than righted that people started to get frustrated.

The problem is you've started your call for unity with a divisive attack on other fans. Your attitude seems to be, we should be united but only in exactly the way you want us to be united. That's not really unity. Or we should be united in misery & damnation of all things Gas because then we'll have the "club we all deserve". boo indeed ! Surely, the people who are happy with what we've got are the people who think we've got the club we deserve - result happiness and expectation of better, zero. That strikes me as the miserable and dammed option.

No it's worse than that - it's actually along the lines of 'if you're not a Member of the Government then you don't have the right to criticise the government'. It sometimes seems as if the definition of Unity by some is similar to that used in Eastern Europe before the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the meantime I've found the Agenda. Item 1. Approval of previous minutes. Item 2. Did anyone bring any biscuits? Item 3. Send someone down to the shops to buy some biscuits (re: negative response to item 2). Item 4. Long ramble from elderly attendee about how biscuits were better in the old days. Item 5. Election of Officers; open position for biscuit procurement secretary. Item 6. Action points; ensure all members take responsibility for maintaining meeting biscuit equilibrium. Item 7. Any other Business. Item 8. Date of next meeting.

I read through another meaningless soul-searching thread on "are we moaning too much?" and before I could evn spit on my screen, I broke into "let it go" from Frozen instead.
I had a letter published in the Green Un in 1977 bemoaning the sale of Warboys and Bannister. My rebellious card should have been marked then.
Jimmy Hamilton in 1977 or Nick Higgs in 2015 - I have never been fully on board.
I remember booking my first coach-trip at the Supporters Club and thought it was operated by t**sers. Pure amateurs. If I had known, I would have demanded (via the Green Un) a top-down operational review of Staynings, Edwards, Burns and Co then.
To be frank, deep down in my heart, I know that I should never have joined up to the BRFC crusade. A punctured dinghy on St George's Park lake would have been more rewarding.

I was on the Gaslist back in the mid/late 90's and have been keeping my eye on the various forums since then. More often observer rather than contributor. I think it's only really the last 5-6 years that has seen negativity and vitriol - which is reserved almost entirely for the Board. And that is totally understandable. But I'll be at Dartford and 100% behind the team.

Not even close to an answer that makes any sense. you would want loads of money in your hand before the club enters administration... I think you have to be the alter ego of Henbury or are his Brother. Just too many similarities and no Henbury posts ?

Basically "the man in the know" changed his pseudonym and gas location (how original) when his bold "agent provocateur" predictions were seen to be false?
Upwardly mobile via Forum pseudonyms .
Forums - sad aren't they?
