Breaking News Support The Team Not The Regime! New update 24/11

[overseas shrimper]

As it would be fun to read what he comes out with and who/what he will blame and be even better to see SZ thread of 20 pages Discussing about it

Ok, you've won me over.

RM, I insist you make a statement forthwith.

 

[kentblues]

What a horrible dilemma !!

Ive spent 24 hrs mulling it over and still struggled to come to a conclusion.

God knows, I want to support the victims of this malignant, toxic regime, but at the same time, I don’t want do give a single penny that might ease the pressure on the man who is cynically killing my club.

I get it when people say that he won’t be able to get his soiled dirty hands on the cash, and I know that he will still owe the money to staff members, but the very idea of doing anything at all to temporarily bail out that “person” makes me feel nauseous.

I remember all the clapping for the nurses. Noble gesturing, but useless in terms of real “food on table” support. Like the nurses, all the foot soldiers at SUFC are heroes to our club , so with that in mind, I will be making a contribution……but what a grim choice to face.

Your last paragraph is one to reflect on… a point well made

It is a horrible choice to make, but in the end, still a no brainer for a human being with any sense of compassion. IMO, you have done the right thing.

 

[Strykr]

If rm had any balls he'd release a statement apologising to everyone, and sincerely thanking the fans and trust for help in this dark time.

But he'll probably just call us all idiots from his bentley.

 

[nick12]

So full of admiration for the trust and everyone willing to part with their hard earned money while Ron llord's it up in his mansion admiring his Bentley out the window.

Amazing work from all involved, our club really don't appreciate the amazing support they get with little or usually no thanks from the incompetent heirearchy who seem hell bent on completely destroying our wonderful football club.

If this loan is accepted then there really is no shame and personally I would rather donate to a food bank or something like it so I know the people really struggling get the benefit and it isn't swallowed up in the ever spiralling debts never to be seen again.

I personally can't trust that it will benefit the people who need it simply because of so much gross incompetence over so many years.

It's only coz he effin loves the club you idiots!

His statement would be hilariously embarrasing. BS after BS after BS followed by some BS about a stadium that is never going to happen blah blah blah.

Can someone tell me how and where to donate?

[estherpark]

As a downunder shrimper I was lucky enough to watch County/Dorking games.To see the awesome work done by all sorts of people to put the game on was incredible. To think that car park attendants/stewards/bar staff /ground staff /food sellers/ticket sellers/club shop staff aren't properly looked after is a disgrace. £20 via PayPal 2f660455ult482210s

This has left me totally humbled. Amazing support from the Wrexham supporters

I think we should take as many fans as possible and i intend to organise something from us all we can give to the fans up there to maybe hang up thanking them for all they have done.

I think it’s so humbling too know we are not alone. Wrexham especially have been so generous.

Great idea John - would absolutely support this.

Great idea John - would absolutely support this.

I was thinking something maybe based around this. I will get @The Big Dady on the case.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

I’m fairly certain Ghost of C.F is an anti-SUFC and anti-FF troll. I have seen somebody on twitter spouting similar **** (minus the sponsor bit), who clearly has a bee in their bonnet about the FF development and wants SUFC to fail. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same person.

Yep. He was found out on here and announced he was leaving ShrimperZone for good. Unfortunately, like a bad penny, he's popped up again. He is very anti Fossetts Farm development, and wants to hurt the club as a way of getting the development stopped. I suspect he is a local close to Fossetts Farm. Here is his last post after the one announcing he was leaving, before getting some digs in about ShrimperZone as well.

Please stop lying about me .
You should tender your resignation as a moderator.
When people tell lies sponsorship is lost.
That is what is happening at the club right now. The Club and Shrimperzone have a lot in common when it comes to values and principles . I will say no more on that .
More sponsors/advertisers are set to leave in line with our ratcheting up policy.
And then there is the outstanding question of cheating - betterment of the playing
squad whilst failing to pay back-office staff . An application for a points deduction
has been sent to National League chiefs . We are waiting for a reply back.
We are seeking delay with the Fossetts scheme - our independent financial advice
indicates no improvement in our finances if it goes ahead . Insufficient revenue streams.

Matt - nice to talk to you again . I can tell you that I am not associated with PG
in any way but I can assure you that they are a very decent and honest company
to trade with . That is much more than can be said for the modern day Augean Stables which is Shrimperzone . What have you got to say about all of this ,Steve ?

 

[NZamba Legend]

Wrexham and Southend of course are united in history by contesting one of the most legendary LDV vans finals of all time. Known in all the history books as the 'Ben Foster final' because he kept them in the game and secured a nice move to Man U in the process.

Thanks donated yesterday

 

[nick12]

I have donated although still in shock that we even have to be discussing this, are there any more lows RM can take this club to?

Can't help feeling embarrassed yet again but completely support the trust and the other groups who are trying their best to keep our wonderful club in existence. Keep up the good work

A personal massive thank you to supporters of other football clubs who have donated, yet again football supporters show they are bigger than any club

Makes me wonder just what could be achieved if this was raising funds to buy the club and get rid of RM once and for all

[bluesfansince1952]

…bang on ! That “person” has cynically and deliberately fcuked us over a barrel for years, and entwined us in a poisonous web from which there is almost no escape. ……. And STILL some of of the bum licking Ron lovers on the ZONE try to convince us that he has some sort of emotional attachment the club… beyond his own personal gain
FFS !! Give it a rest Mavis !!

But there was an escape. A property developer took over a debt ridden club twenty two years ago and yet supporters are suddenly now surprised he is interested in maximising his profits?
Why was Ron able to buy the club? Because at the time no one else was interested which is likely the same situation now.
There is a difference between now and twenty two years ago, however, and that is the club then owned assets worth something. Now there is only debt
The time to make a fuss was twenty two years ago.
And here is the truth which will may see abuse directed at me: if Ron was even one tenth as some rabid posters allege the club would have folded years ago.
