Fantastic to see you again Jimbo - had a really good time and so good to catch up with you, and you finally met my new chap Dont leave it as long til next time hey...!

[Jimbo T Hornblower]

I know you are not having a go TM, very fair comments in fact but I just want to relay the impression I was given when I got talking to the people at the club. They are extremely disappointed with the messageboard at the moment and all of them said that they should just come and ask rather than just spread crap on here because you dont know who reads this messageboard (you would be very surprised to learn the sort of people that do). I know there was a lot more to the Alty Robinson story but I could only post on here what I was allowed to about what I was told (the whole of the story from the clubs point of view) and the fact that someone said on here that no-one was sacked over it when that was wrong - I was just using that bit of the story as an example to highlight the point I was trying to make - if you ask you learn.

Perhaps if more people asked the people involved or 'in the know' so to speak, the club wouldnt be given the chance to distance itself from the everyday fan??

Glad you enjoyed your visit, Jimbo.

They really don't understand the internet, do they? Or, messageboards

OK lads, let's form an orderly queue and all will be revealed

They have various forms of media available to them and at any point could pass on a snippet of information such as "such-a-body has been sacked for their part in the getting Alty relegated scandal".

I wasn't aware that somebody had been sacked and still can't think who it would have been? But the point is, is that we shouldn't all have to go up to the ground and seek out somebody who may or may not be in the know. If its newsworthy enough to gossip about then its newworthy enough to be news.


We all crave information about the club or we wouldn't be talking about it would we? There should be ten points of interest coming out every day via the website. Let the newspapers find their own stories, let them check the website every ten minutes to see if anything has broken. Has Sean Doherty gone on trial at Ipswich? Why should we read about it on BBC teletext or News of the World? No doubt if I had asked Coley after the game yestereday then he would have told me Or is it all an April Fools day joke and Lee got the wrong date?

I would not be surprised at who reads this messageboard, thats why its there, but maybe if certain people are reading and disagreeing with points raised then they should be answering them on here, with their name and position attached to it, rather than moaning behind closed doors that such a body is doing or saying this and that. Maybe they should realise that, although only a small percentage of the support are represented on here, it is a fair reflection of the considered opinion of the Stanley fan base, and if 90% of web opinion says that the hot dogs are crap (they're not, just an eg) then they are crap and they should do something about it. Are the club slow to respond or are we slow to ask?

What are you suggesting Jimbo, private one to ones with Rob or Eric. I have been to OSC meets where there is a representative from the club who usually says not a lot or I can't comment on that, exception being Coley who was very honest with his answers. I thought the OSC meets where a perfect oppurtunity for info to be passed on, now we are at the stage where a few, yourself and KSH who seem to have something while the rest of us are just left to guess on what is going on.
When somebody does pass something on, the roof story for instance, ok it was under the influence of alchol, it proved another duff story, what are we to think?

Macca, and others (Kipax for one, me for another), have been banging this drum all season long, and before. They don't respond - and they're extremely disappointed .

This site is the first point of call for most Stanley fans, and it shouldn't be.
