It’s taken nearly 15 years plus to realise what has happened to this once fantastic local football club. Other local teams survive and flourish without any of the amenities which other clubs do not have access too. The club gave away everything when selling out, and run by idiots who did not know what was going on, and some taking the money and off they went into the sunset! Some of those idiots are still involved with the Football today. Many a posting has been made about the fiasco in the past, too late now to repeat.
There is a myriad of companies involved with the TMUS&L and very difficult to track down and to know what is going on. Any debt and gains will involve inter-company transactions, this has been the case since the change of ownership from the Members to the main shareholders. Unfortunately, the Members club sold its soul, and has now has a minuscule holding, and does not have any say on how the Football Team is run, and lacks any influence or funds to have any impact. And is also led by one of the idiots.
This is not a Football Club anymore, just a name. The only resemblance is those individuals who provide the invaluable services to keeping what’s left of the Football Team alive. An increase in support despite the poor performance of the Football Team has been astonishing considering the level of Football being played. Just imagine the response would be if there was a successful team, and to the community! A term has been used often to describe the Football team as “Built to Fail.” Enough said.
Gary, Football and Rugby are a different culture and ethos. The social side of Rugby does not compare, and are operated totally differently to each other. You are now threatening to not post anymore, why? This is an open forum with differing opinions, don’t throw in the towel at every opportunity, including giving up the forum. Why do you think everyone dislikes you? You provide a great service to the real supporters. You have had an up and down history with the Team/Supporters, stay strong and don't give in this time.
Like many of the “Die Hards” I will continue to follow the Terrors, as I have done religiously as a 9-year-old. I now only go out of habit and meet up with friends.! My thoughts go to all those local people who gave up their time and money to purchase a develop the Sandy Lane ground., if only they knew how their efforts ended up! As I have quoted before, "Perhaps it's time to let the Football Team pass away peacefully!
