i've just been told that eastie is closer to the knowledge at lewes than whatever at boro and so when he asks a question, theres a reason for it.
i dont know him. i suggest we treat his questions with some respect.
i'm not interested in financial discussions as they will come to light afterwards.....but lets square his circle prior to any doubts.
i dont know who can do that, but carefully aimed questions are not what the rooks need right now...so well formed answers to halt them are required.

Knowledge? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Listen, I came through the darkest days of Lewes FC, in the company of a bunch of fellow supporters who just didn't know when to say 'quit'. Ibbo and Jason being foremost. Our prayers were answered when the Community Club cavalry arrived out of nowhere. Now I know every single one of the Lewes Board of Directors. These guys saved Lewes Football Club. They and a whole new raft of sensible, pragmatic volunteers will not, I say categorically, will not risk the future of this club. We are almost into game three of the season so it is very early days in Ryman Premier. Lewes FC has a brilliant buzz about it. We can give this whole Division a boost. The key is to sustain the support of our fans and encourage sponsorship. Bring on exciting football and the feel-good factor. Have some faith. Keep that faith.

David - great post.
Snoblett - seconded.
It's always "I've been told" this and "someone in the know told me" that. Enough. Can we talk about the football for a change. You know, the one where 11 players run around chasing the ball trying to score more goals against 11 other players. Rather than more bloody questions and speculation about the finances/budget. We know the playing budget which is more knowledge than 99% of clubs are willing to give. End of discussion. Mods, can we have some sort of block on all these threads?

Knowledge is that knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put one in a fruit salad.
Even I'm bored of all the speculation. Good luck on Saturday.

Hope you pick up all three points against Walton Casuals and maintain your great start. Ryman One could easily be dominated by Sussex clubs this season. |

Yes it would be nice to know who will profit from this sell-off. Not "owners" apparently.

how about we all go play on the thread about tomorrow's game and talk about that rather than everyone rising to threads like this..

Billy eastie is **** sturring again. I respect you for your seasons at Lewes getting us through the leagues but it is wearing thin now. So you don't like Sk so what that is what we have got now and we follow the TEAM not the manager. I hated KK yet still travelled miles to watch MY team play. Get over it your not part of the board now and if you were would have put your retirement funds into it? |

please reread my post. if you dont understand my reasoning then it's your own problem.
despite my reservations on the messiah, i have been supportive of the club and board throughout.
i'm surprised at the reaction, especially you david. read my other posts please.
then remember this......not dealing with poo stirring causes more poo stirring.
as for being 'liked' or'respected' ...not in my nature to bother.

Billy, I have re-read your original post which clearly gives the impression that there are goings on at the club which Eastie is in some way privy to, where the rest of us are not. If you have something to say of substance I wish you would come out and say it because I do find all this smoke and mirrors stuff very irritating. Most of us trust the Board and want to be thinking about events on the pitch.

Simple answer to this. Become a shareholder and then when the AGM comes round, ask questions. As a shareholder you are entitled to see the accounts.
Billy is right to say that we should respect others opinions and questions, however when the same old is repeated again and again it becomes boring.
As Dave has said, there is a buzz about the club with optimism. New people who are committed to doing what is right for the club. The season has just started so let's concentrate on what is occurring on the field.

baron...i have nothing to say that would cause the club bother.
if i had, i would say it.
my point was simple and i'll repeat it.
eastie asked a question some time ago and it was taken off the forum. he's asked another and the usual suspects jump on him.
so i say....deal with it. either answer the question or ignore.
seems to me that posters who dont go down the favoured route get a hard time.
everybody is entitled to an opinion. to tell somebody who dosen't agree with you to go away is the action of people who cannot debate.
i will not be told to go away by people i dont know or care about.
i am not in contact with anyone at the club and i direct my questions to david. i have no insider knowledge and no wish to have it.
i previously called people names...was reprimanded..and no longer use these terrible insults....eastie...someone i've never met or spoken to, has asked questions....so what.
i suggest you all get together on a thread called 'we will win the league' and all stay there.

If you're bitter about SK's appointment fine, but don't give credance to the rubbish Eastie's spouting, he's clearly on the windup.
Having said that,the board and manager should be accountable to the fans and if someone comes up with something other than baseless speculation, then they should be listened to. It'll take more than a Boro fan and the usual anti-SK suspects to make me take any notice though.
