When I think of all the abuse I used to get for calling on McCarthy/maguire to be sacked for gross incompetence all those months ago. Was it as much as Whopper3 got for being so negative towards Bignot?

I honestly wouldn't know most of the board if I fell over them. I'm not in the bar after games and I rarely get to CFU meetings, so I'm not suggesting I'm blameless in that, but it still cannot be right. I really would like to know, once and for all, who are the board members who NFBF is suggesting have their own agenda and are holding us back? It is obvious there has been no general consensus of board members over the last two or three years, hence the merry go round of chairmen and board members. This is obviously because of lack of agreement between board members. That is healthy, but at the end of the day, it cannot go on for ever like that, sometime, and that time is NOW, and in this case, pride has to swallowed, and no more of ‘ How I think the club should be run’ but “ how can WE can get this club running for the betterment of everybody. That HAS to happen now, there is no time for recriminations and blame, it’s the club first! Although work and family commitments are fully understood, given what NBBF has said this may better help explain why after nearly 24 hours, we still do not have any meaningful position statement from the Board addressing the recent shambolic events and an agreed way forward.

It should work, I don't think you have many houses near your ground so noise pollution shouldn't be a problem. I think noise levels are limited at the Racecourse because of the houses on Mold rd. In your case isn't the risk taken by the University, rather than than the football club? You just get the concession money. We'd have to take the risk ourselves, unless a promoter booked the ground for the day and took all the risk. We can't even run a football club, never mind a music concert. The uni aren’t involved with the concerts at all now. The promoters take all the risk on ticket sales etc, the club make the money from food and drink. It’s a good deal for all involved but as previously stated no pre season friendlies

I fucking hate Twitter! Does it ever result in anything positive? I know that a lad that I work with has had a romantic break in Bristol this weekend. However, probably so do all the burglars in the area. The most unbelievable part of this entire mad situation is that someone would go to Bristol for a romantic break!!!!

I find it embarrassing that a once League club, albeit in its former guise, now has a teenage fan as its main source of information. Surely it has a chance of support from the Walt Disney corporation, given just how Mickey Mouse it has become. Given the unbelievable decline of the club in 2018, 2017 now looks like a good year in comparison. My opinion, for what it’s worth, is that fan owned successfully resurrected the club, but has since been the cause of the decline, and there is no future without change, I’m afraid. It’s said, in business, that every business has opportunities, but the losers fail to realise it, or exploit them at the time. Sadly the chances have been there. Don’t expect them to be there again.

Makes the long journey back from down south after another defeat seem a bit better. He'll need a Northern Girl for next season though.

Billy / Dragonslayer - in defence of Danny the news that the CFU statement will be issued today eminates from Jeff Banks on twitter and not, in this instance, from Danny being fed info. I appreciate that as older supporters you may not be on Twitter. I find it a very good way of keeping up with Chester FC news through the various club accounts (official / youth / community / women's team etc)

Obviously someone on the inside spouting, I am getting sick of it. many, many times this has happened. It's been disclosed . I understand your vexation Dave that someone who has been a supporter for 5 minutes is privy to more information than us with 60 years or so. I will not join twitter. Social media can be very dangerous. This site can be bad enough when you've got idiots like Oaks Blue, who thinks it's ok to be offensive to someone just asking a question.

I've no problem with Danny posting his bits of news and info.
He's been honest enough on where it comes from, and he picks a lot up from various Twitter and media links. I can't be arsed doing that.
Let's face it a lot of posters on here have links to people who have contacts and know stuff most of us don't. That's where a lot of the rumours start. We just fit the pieces together on here.
If it wasn't for the initial bit of real information to start things off, most of the threads on here would be a lot less interesting.

I understand your reservations re twitter Hannibal, but you pick and choose who to follow making it far easier to wade through than a forum such as this. For instance you could choose only to follow the official CFC account, CFU account and Chester Chronicle and in that way only get news that is confirmed rather than speculation. Of course if you want speculation, sculduggery and tittle tattle you could always follow Charlie Croasdale and the Evening Leader

Another patronising post against Danny and further proof that the "I'm a better supporter than you" syndrome really does exist. GET A GRIP! PS Thanks Danny, without your input we would know nothing because the club do not communicate with us

I asked a question about 9 or 10 months ago on here, "who is Charlie Croasdale?" and didn't get 1 reply.
I didn't think much of him as I thought he was a bit odd like giving the abysmal Kane Richards 7/10, when he rightly got 3/10 from Neil Turner in NLP (a proper footie journo). Where did he come from? Is he a fan?. Is he still shitting yellow? What's his agenda?
He doesn't seem to have much support on here.
Thanks for your answer Charfield, but I won't be joining. I can't even keep up with my emails.

I do use Twitter to a small degree e.g. Following Dave Powell so am not totally ignorant. However when McNally tells us that a statement is to be issued without any reference to its source, it is understandable that some get annoyed. If he had added 'according to Bsnksy on Twitter' there would not have been an issue. In these troubled times, we need complete openess, not someone giving the impression ' I know something you dont'

Nice to see you back on here rcb 😄 If only the circumstances of the current situation were nice eh? If only the city of Chester had the fanbase it should have, given its size, then I doubt the club would be in such a perilous position. I just don’t get people who leave the city in droves to go and watch the Manchester and Liverpool teams. Moving to Little Sutton as a nine year old I watched my local League team. That’s how it was in those days. Higher education took me away in 1972, but having been foolish enough to watch and follow them for ten years I am still foolish enough!

I thought it was common knowledge by the time I sent my post that a statement was coming but obviously not. Sorry.

Can't understand the complaints about McNally to be honest. We complain we don't hear anything from the club, but when he tells us any whispers there's grown men kicking off at a teenager who volunteers at the club regularly. Seems a bit of a loss/loss. Of course the club shouldn't leak this information, but at the end of the day it's happening regardless of whether he posts it or not on here. Must admit, i'd even heard something myself in the close season about signing Kingsley through a volunteer. I think it's maybe not disclosing the source of the information that annoys people, but at the same time you can understand not wanting to betray someones trust? I find it all a bit silly, i know for one i'd rather him post it and know and not post it at all.
