If I'd have known it was that easy I'd have coughed up a £1 for the club and gone to B&Q. How can things be rosy with a franchise on it's way and a stadium in the balance and one win in five - rosy it isn't - Il accept it couldn't get much worse and efforts are being made but rosy...
Clique - otherwise known on here as people who don't agree with you. See other post "Poodle", derogatory name calling from someone who can no longer make his point using reasoned argument.
Seriously you may think I'm wrong but I can assure you my clique numbers only one member - me.'"
Thanks for putting your total slant on my post where you have sadly totally missed the point and turned into a vast spin on the issues raised. I am sorry but like you I am entitled to my opinion, as for poodle look in the mirror mate.

| Quote ="kinleycat"1. Why are we in such a corner than only an act of magic can save us from being refused a franchise?
2. I hope you will, as i hope everyone will, the CARNAGE that we are currently picking our way through, will take time to clear up, hopefully we will all see enough along the way to see that there is something worth it at the end of the tunnel.'"
Do I really need to answer that?
We are about to vacate our ground to move to another town - there is no going back, certainly not where SL is concerned.
We have been in admin, I know that hurdle has been removed but it's still in peoples minds and I would not be surprised if it conveniently comes back in true RL style.
We may finish bottom and that could easily count.
All the above can be overcome - if - time doesn't run out. Time is the one thing AG can't stop or slow down. Oakwell can only ever be considered temporary. So NM has to happen and if it gets delayed too long then our position weakens for the next franchise - assuming we make it this time. If it doesn't happen IMHO we have no future and will just whither and die in Barnsley. I'm optimistic but also realistic.
I do know about the Stadium, as a member of the SWAG committee from the start. Although the "old regime" made a few minor boo boos they generally got it right. Both the Community Stadium and now N/M broke down or in N/M case stalled through no fault of the clubs and I don't think even you would argue that. So it's taken us 7 years to get to where we are, so my gut feeling tells me that things will continue to move slowly. It's going to be a real balancing act, that said AG may be a lucky owner and things might go our way, who knows.
If there is a conspricy to remove us from SL they will never have a better chance than now, I don't think I'm being over dramatic. I don't actually believe there is one but many seem too.
On your second point, fair enough.

Yes it is my slant, sadly because it's the slant that doesn't suit the majority it just gets shouted down by the loadmouth on here (not you).
Yes I am a poodle or was it says so on my avatar - not had chance to meet the new dog walker just yet. Odd really, for backing the old board I was a poodle, if I suddenly and blindly back AG does that make me a poodle or just one of the new gang on here who have all the answers and trust it all to AG?
Fickle game RL...

why say it in one sentence when you can say it in lots!!!
Because we were mismanaged for most of our SL existence, because the RFL were fed up of Teds broken promises.
I WONT/cant supply the link, but its official, from people who =#FF4000know a dam sight more than you.
Sorry its my popular slant.

No one knows more than Vasty
On a more serious note, a few on here doing the rounds with PM's have motives that leave alot to be desired, don't be taken in so easily by them.
Trust no one and always back up against a wall my friend.

| Well on the subject of our previous owners whilst i know its not nice to revel in anothers misfortune, and trust me I know exactly how they feel because obviously I was there as well, but a certain female former board member was lining up in the jobcentre this morning waiting to sign on. Strangley (and maybe wrongly) I felt a sense of justice having been done for once. Hope shes willing to take a pay cut to match her abilities.

You won't or you can't, which is it? and as a matter of interest [uwho[/u are these people who know a dam sight more, perhaps you would like to elaborate a bit more for those of us that know nothing.
