Meaning

Meaning that as usual there seems to be some point scoring occuring. i.e. Look at us, are we not great for getting all those people there and you should have chosen the trust over the club.

Well I would like to thank Axe for getting me from my front door to the front door of the hotel and back to my door without one delay.

 

[Beaver]

We thanked the people for helping the Trust last year. Whats so wrong in doing that this year. It was a hell of a feat to do this with all volunteers. OK the last bit was a bit tongue in cheek, but there was no point scoring intended - just having a laugh.

Anyway if it makes all you happy I have edited the post, and will ensure in future that any Trust Posts are straight to the point, boring & mundane, therefore that should please everyone.

I'd like to thank Spence for finding us a hotel with full breakfast in the morning included for £25, Jonesy tap-in for driving us there and back and Nick for being so hungover yesterday the rest of us all felt ok. Not to mention the Wrexham fans for letting me help them out with their kit parade.

 

[Its grim up north!]

I would like to thank;

Dwayne (duke) Newcombe and Mrs Grim for driving, Dwayne's Mrs, Mrs OS and my Mrs for putting out late on Saturday night when everyone else went to bed,
myself for finding pretty good accomodation, Spinner for giving Grim Jnr a signed LDV shirt and Air Malta for delaying OS flight by a day!

I'd like to thank the An Shebeen Irish Tavern in Jávea for allowing us to take over their bar and watch the final on the big screen ...

I'd like to thank the idiots who printed Southend United LDV 2005 Winners t-shirts which people were buying at the service station, thus making us look like the biggest bunch of arrogant tw*ts since Uncle Ron gave away vouchers for the Chelsea game when we beat Scarborough............ermmm

PS

well done the TRust.
Can I suggest some over 30's/family coaches so I don't have to listen to the made up sexual exploits of a bunch of 16 year olds all the way home, or listening to people who forgot they were young once tutting at every swear word the 16 year old's say?

I'm sure the 16 year olds would agree.

Nobody said that you cannot have a laugh but when reading posts on here and the yahoo list, it appears that some senior members of the trust are taking great pleasure in the fact the trains got screwed up but the coaches did not.

Is this because you were excluded from being involved this year with the trains?

Do you honestly think that if you had organised the trains they would have run smoother??

Should we not be ploughing our money into the club to help it progress??

No - We should plough it into the trust instead!!

 

[Barmy Army]

Thanks to the Trust for actually getting me and my mates home this year.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

I'd like to thank Chris Powell for being there, shaking my hand, and in so doing, salvaging what otherwise would have been a thoroughly rotten day.

I'd also like to thank Leeboy for putting up with my snoring with such good humour...

It's called having a laugh

Of course they would not of run any differently if the Trust was involved. Do you really think that we are that naive.

No it's not because we were excluded from helping run them this year. In fact we were happy that we were not involved because of the extra work that entailed last year, it mean't that this year we could concentrate 100% on the coaches.

I seem to recall last year that when everything went pear shaped with the plane everybody took the **** & had a good laugh about it. But they were not castigated for doing so.

Yes you should be ploughing money into the club, and is that not what the Trust do, or do people seem to forget that.

You tell 'em Beaver!
