355.

I would probably recommend Trip Advisor than looking to phone somewhere directly.  Grin

Kind of suggests we are not a badly run club all things considered

Or, we are dying a slow death apparently?

Maybe that's what is needed. Convince DB & KT to sp**k all their money away in a few years cos it'll be a wild ride.

Or maybe it won't 🤔

Click bate.

Are you looking to organise a trip to Albania?

I mean, we all know that Tom was aiming at the Trust with his ""offensive emails" post and being as he can't prove it, he shouldn't post it. We all know that mud sticks, so as a moderator, are you going to ask him to make it clear that he has no proof that the emails came from the Trust, or will he twist the words again?
  

I thought that it's been proven already that Tom said that they were offensive email 'addresses'.

This was then backed up with a partial screen grab with some relevant detail (which I do know could have been doctored of course, but would doubt they have been personally).

I can't see any reference from him that says that they were offensive emails, no matter whom the source.

Probably worth visiting the Bantam Talk forum for the match thread, P16 onward.

Is this really our club they are talking about!  Smiley

Almost 24h later, still nothing about it on the BBC Sport pages.  Angry
107  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: More Than Football Awards on: November 16, 2022, 06:04:15 am
I am so proud of our club!

Well done to all involved in this, from top to bottom, and including those who are no longer employed by NTFC.

Thank you all.

    I thought it was quite relevant when Random asked him how many times he'd been in the hospitality, so we could all know if he could back up his opinion, good or bad.
    Tom is very forthright with his views, which is his right, but he doesn't seem to like anyone challenging his view, or answering awkward questions

What if Tom had given an answer to this? Let's say he said "twice".

What then?

"When was that?"
"What did you eat and drink?"
"Who served you?"
"What was the weather like?"

We'll soon get some Cobblers fans calling out others as CINO's soon a la Trump with his view on anyone who's on his side but not on his team.

sorry Tom, please remind us of your last visit to Sixfields

(sure some will see this as a cheap shot but this is a guy who lives 5000 miles away and is very very actively trying to take down a supporters Trust that has saved the club twice, whilst offering no action plan or what he would do next, all from a website that does not show his name and is now posting how great the club and staff are despite not experiencing it for at least 6 years)

Glad you and your mum enjoyed it so much.  Smiley

Dear oh dear.   Sad

He was a very dodgy character. He got done for money laundering, didn't he? I think a lot of the financial problems around the stadium came because a lot of the business case was based around holding functions, wedding receptions and stuff but they built it without acknowledging a bylaw that forbade the sale of alcohol in the area (or were just expecting it to be overturned). Either way, they weren't allowed to and surprisingly no one was keen on holding anything there.

Just checked out whereabouts they are as a club now. Sadly they don't even use that stadium any more.

Darlington's population is 90,000, Northampton is 216,000. Does that answer it for you?

Didn't the guy that proposed and funded it end up going bankrupt or something, and there was no money left to fund the playing side?

The first £2m for Wimbledon was crowdfunded by supporters, then a further £5m was raised via a bond issue which again was mainly taken up by supporters. Only a relatively small percentage of the £11m cost of the ground came from "businessmen", the main investor Nick Robertson put in around £2.5m for which he received a minority shareholding in the club. Worth remembering also that Wimbledon at the time were fan owned and Trust run therefore there was great momentum from the fans to see progress.   

As I've mentioned before I was mightily impressed when I visited the ground as a "home fan" last season, the sheer numbers in the ground at the bars/food outlets and in the club an hour before kickoff was something i've not seen at any other club, it was akin to my one and only visit to Franklins Gardens where the fans seemed to want to "make a day of it"...... It was a totally different experience going back there (Plough Lane) a few weeks ago as an away fan though!

Suppose the point of this post is to show that it doesn't necessarily need a rich benefactor to get things done!

Ok, so does this bring us back to the idea of an Infastructure foundation that was mentioned on the redev thread probably a year (and about a quarter of a million posts) ago?
113  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Sutton at home Tuesday 25.10.22 on: October 26, 2022, 11:13:54 am
I am going to look at it this way.

We earned a point more from this game than the equivalent fixture last season.

I will be cheering the lads on from Mexico today.

Wearing my shirt at the resort we are staying at, which has already prompted one response from a Yank as to whom I support.

Needless to say, my response was met with a blank look!
115  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: #NotMyTrust - Call for resignation of NTFC Supporters Trust Board on: October 23, 2022, 14:51:08 pm
When was the last post that actually relates to this subject title?

Yet another that dissolves into NTFC owners vs Trust, with some redev bits thrown in.  Sad
116  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: ORIENT on: October 16, 2022, 13:38:15 pm
Just watched the video:

"Serious foul play
A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play."

Ticks at least a couple of those boxes for me.
It also looks as if Fox knew as soon as he'd done it as well.

Yet Chilwell's tackle just now on Jacob Ramsey used much more force but was given a yellow on the field, and VAR confirmed as ok.

117  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: ORIENT on: October 16, 2022, 12:01:45 pm
I’m not so sure. He definitely went in two footed. So I think they will uphold it.

In a front on tackle, aside from doing the splits, I am not sure how you could do anything other then have both feet going in?

I personally didn't think it was a two footed jump in, neither did he leave the floor with studs raised in a dangerous manner , so thought it was a pretty harsh one.

So here we are 7 years on in the new regime and I look out from the west stand last Saturday and what are we greeted with?

What! Is your self imposed exile from the hill no more?
If so, welcome back to the football.

Can we start calling Lee Burge "Puck"?  Grin
