Re: Dave Andrews

I did far more than swear at the management... Organise protests, pitch invasions, write leaflets to be handed out at AGMS (I'm the person who coined the pre-merger campaign phrase 'Don't be ruled by greed, be ruled by loyalty'). I didn't earn the nickname of Auntie Merge by being all sweetness and ...

Re: Dave Andrews

just to add, I had many, many, MANY rows with him when I was running Leytonstone Ilford - Redbridge Forest supporters club. From him trying to throw me out of the clubhouse for sitting with the wreath that we put on the pitch (last league game at Granleigh Road) on one of the tables, to protests abo...

Re: Dave Andrews

I've been waiting for the official announcement but (and 20 years ago, who ON EARTH would have thought I would be saying this) He has been an excellent Chairman for the club and has steered us towards success as much as any team manager or player. I hope he will still be an integral part of the club...

Re: We're in the playoff places

Think of all the others that probably got away under John Still that couldn't play hoofball.Tomlin springs to mind (Not my favourite ever dagger but it was clear to us hoofy weren't for him). Funnily enough I was saying the same thing yesterday. I know its unlikely, but I really hope we can hang on...

Re: Wayne Burnett Fashion Watch

Wayne was wearing this today - jacket, open necked dark blue shirt, navy jumper with dark blue jeans. http://ow.ly/i/3Kebj But no coat, no jacket, no scarf, no gloves, and it was quite cold out. I was expecting a change at half time but there was none. He was also coughing a lot during the game. Hop...

East Stirling v Stirling

I don't know if anyone else was giggling through this fixture yesterday? East Stirling v Stirling. I was wondering how on earth you would commentate on such a game? "Stirling have the ball, no they have lost it and it's gone to Stirling" . Then it appeared that one of the players may have ...

Re: "Football Clubs Banning Local Papers"

Agree. The trouble with publicity that spouts from the club, it is very often just reaching people who already know about the club. The local papers have the capacity to reach those who don't know about the club, and maybe, if they did know about the club, they would attend, or buy from the club sho...

"Football Clubs Banning Local Papers"

From the BBC http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-stoke-staffordshire-24743660 It seems some of the bigger clubs who didn't like the local press writing negative reports, have banned them stating 'fans can get all their news from the club website'. Seems a very bad precedent and I hope it doesn't sp...

I think he is doing better than ok, but then I always believed he would.

How long do you plan to be around this time Ron? You've been sorely missed.

Have you not started a thread on this forum about your insomnia? And I have read stuff about various other health issues you have, none of which were anonymous as they were all under your name.

Re: Who's Who?

I am from the old forum, and wish the new forum all the best ...... but I am naturally pessimistic and assume the trolls will soon drive me away. I am sure no-one is interested in my previous persona, but they could probably work it out easily enough if they really had a mind to. I did from your fi...

Re: Daggers article

I suggest that with the factual inaccuracies and manipulating the truth, and then the attention seeking post on here, (knowing full well what the responses would be) RickyB is now the Daggers version of Liz Jones (the nightmare female 'journalist' from the Daily Fail). Wow. Being called an attentio...
