A worry if true (2 Viewers)

They were right to rebuff the loans as they were from Ocean Finance and Wonga.com.

A mate who was in the legends bar after the match talking to an ex-player that a group of local business men offered to cover the expense of two loans until the end of the season, this was apparently rebuffed by our board. Now if correct and our board turn down offers like this that have little or no cost to the club you have to ask the question as to whether they want the club to stay up.

Our beloved board just want their money back, what happens on the pitch is an irrelevance to them.

the board or the owners??? I think you will find its the owners that want the money back not the board! What annoys me is Brody is a multi millionaire and hes not even interested in putting 1 penny in!

Oh look, another "my mate said" thread. They're all true, you know. I'll now just wait for the OP to come back with the "don't have a go at me I was only posting what he said" retort.

And people always reply as if it was 100% true. Brilliant.

spot on torch

just like yeah i spoke to hoffman he is coming back in erm no he is not and we all no it we are just not that lucky im afraid

Sorry I don't buy it. If SISU are only interested in money surely they'd want a couple of new players for free to boost the crowds. Also I highly doubt someone would fork over probably around half a million quid and ask for nothing in return. Smells like a male cows rear end to me.

Is it up on Cov Mad yet?

Although I'm not questioning the trustiness of your friend, everyone has reason to lie. Mainly due to how fun it can be, but that's just me.

Joking aside, something did happen to me at the Ricoh which was true, so I really should stop taking the piss. Me, my Dad and my son queued up at the refreshment place for a couple of minutes and the following happened:

The guy in front of us said: "have you got any salt and vinegar crisps"
The girl behind the counter said: "No, sorry, we've run out"
The guy: "What have you got?"
The girl: "Cheese and Onion or Ready Salted"
The guy: (who turns to his mate): "What do you want, *Steve"
*Steve: "Mmm...I think I'll go for the Ready Salted".
The guy (to the girl): "Ready Salted, please"
The girl: "OK".

Now, I'm only reporting what happened so don't have a go at me if you don't believe me.

Sorry Torch. I find this hard to believe! I think you made this up (or a friend told you!). How would they run out of salt & vinegar flavour? I think you're telling porkys!

well it would confirm my "they want us to go down so the 50% of the ground they want to buy will be cheaper" theory

But will it give us cheaper crisps?

I would like some pork scratchings with my match day pint

My mate (who will remain nameless) says that SISU actually want there to be no other flavour crisps, but S&V at the Ricoh refreshment outlets. Apparently S&V crisps are a bit sharp which makes supporters wince; this makes their mouths go smaller because of the bitter taste and they are then unable to chant "SISU OUT".

My mate also says that the ASS&VFAS (Anti-SISU Salt and Vinegar Assault Squad) bought all the crisps as soon as the doors opened to foil SISUs evil plans. That explains why Steve (not his real name) in the queue and others could not buy their favourite flavour. Subsequently, because of the lack of Salt And Vinegar crisps fans were heard to chant "SISU OUT!" during the game.

SISU bastards or what!?

I wrote to Walkers complaining about the little amount of crisps in a packet nowadays. Here's the reply....

Dear crisp eater,

We'll start making full bags when you can button your trousers up, you fat fuck.

Kind regards,

Walkers.

Yeah, I got the same reply. Where's the personal touch gone from abusive letters nowadays?

I was just eating a packet of crisps and noticed a message on the back:

'NOT TO BE SOLD SEPARATELY'

Who in their right mind would want to buy just one crisp?

Remember when you could see how many you were getting through the old style packets .
Walkers out !

I hate SISU for one reason alone. No Smokey Bacon crisps at the Ricoh. Bloody, bloody bastards.

I soon replied to them....................
Dear Walkers,
I think you may need a new PR Manager. The one you have seems to be a smug anorexic dickhead.

Kind regards,
Crisp eater

Thats an unusual comment from youself torch considering when 95 % of posters on here were being cynical when Sisu came out with, for the fourth time since the summer that we were going to be getting a loan signing !!!!!!
So its ok to believe serial liars who own the club and not are fellow supporters !!!!!!!

Mine is an incident at The Wedges Bar, and goes like this:

Me: "A cheese and onion pastie, please."
Chav girl serving: "Cheese and onion? Nah, they aint ready quite yet."
Me: "Oh, right..how long do you think they'll be?"
Chav girl serving: "Well..I don't really know."
Me: "Roughly how long?"
Chav girl serving: "Dunno. We don't cook them, 'cos we aint got an oven at this one. They cook 'em at the other place".
My Mate( also in queue): "I've been queueing for 10 minutes and they haven't sold any cheese and onion pasties-they never had any in the first bloody place."
Me:"Oh, I see..yes, this happened last home game as well. Yet it's never happened before in the past 2 seasons. When are the pasties coming from the "other place" ?"
Chav girl serving: "Well...they're not. You'd have to go down there yourself, it's down the other end of the concourse. You could have chips?"
Random Bloke: "He shouldn't fuckin have to walk to another stall to get something you're meant to be selling, where's the customer service?! I fuckin hate this stadium.."
Me: "I don't want chips! So, were you ever actually going to have cheese and onion pasties on sale here? Have you just ran out of stock and not placed a new order since the last home game? 'Cos this is two weeks in a row that I've queued for ten minutes here only to be told you have either "sold out" or are "waiting" for something that's not actually coming!"
Chav girl serving: "Well..I dunno...erm.."
Me: "Well can you at least sort it out for next week?"
Chav girl serving:"...(blank face).."
Me: "OK, forget it, I'll just have a coffee."

Not ONCE did anyone apologise to me. At times it was like a Monty Python or Chris Morris sketch. I'm particularly thinking of the Morris "Jam" skit where a company hires thick people for jobs, as they know that eventually the customer will just give up in exasperation when they realise they aren't going to get anywhere!

I consequently got back into the arena around 30 seconds after we had scored our first goal, just catching the replay on the big screen. Thanks a fucking bunch, Wedges Bar! You suck worse than Tango Ken!

Are the Wedges staff surplus from McDonalds?
