Mr Heys said"certainly very shorly the directors will sit down.I think thats only fair.
When you have got a little girl emptying her piggy bank the question has to be answered-what are you doing"
"There is a contribution to be made from the management and directors of the club"
But talks have not moved forward since last week and Mr Oneill appears to remain committed to raesing money through outside donations.
This went to print 13days ago!

How soon is shortly?are they aware there is a deadline?
So what is it ASFC board are doing?
"There is a contribution to be made from the management and directors of the club"
By contribution does he mean the board will put in money to the SOS fund out of their own pockets?but only once they have got as much as possible out of fans and others pockets?

So if i have done my maths right talks opened on the 11th Sept 2009 but still on the 1st Oct 2009 with 23days to the deadline they have not reopened talks?
Im in way having at a pop at anyone just trying to work out how many times i can use the line "fingers crossed "to my daughter when she asks are stanley saved yet mum?
May be i should send hannah along with a list of questions,if Mr Oneill can make a 9 yr old understand whats happening may be we fans stand a chance!

Of course you're right Katei....and you are only the echoing the thoughts of so many Fans who like you are stunned, confused, and disappointed by the almost total lack of activity aimed at finding a lasting solution to what is now an Emergency situation !!..On the other hand, there just might be something happening...BUT for one reason or another no-one wants to tell those that do matter.... some reports do inform me that the Board of Directors see WE the Hoi-Polloi as being unimportant, and a nuisance for having the temerity to question their behaviour!....perhaps this motivates their desire to demonstrate an almost total silence on the matter??..
SO....No one is saying anything of substance...The Fund-ometer is stuck at £81,000+..... another day has slipped by!!... and a predicament ,which on the surface of it, looks as if it could be answered by total cooperation from all those who say that they Love the Club !...that want to see it survive!..
that they are skilled, committed and sincere individuals....Is, instead the victim of galloping intransigence !!.
I'm glad that your generous-hearted and bright little-one is still showing her commitment to the cause !....but don't take her to see Mr O'Neil please !...
She, just might, like another recent visitor to 'the Crown', be seduced (if that's the right expression!)..by a generalised statement of loyalty and well-meaning !...but I doubt if she would come away any the wiser in relation to the True Picture of the Status Quo therein!!....If t DON knows what that is...he certainly does not want to share it with anyone !....Not even the one person who could Save our Stanley tomorrow!!.
I'm going on again!........'QUO VADIS STANLEY ????'
