The RBS Scandal

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

In the gents on Saturday the tap was still running. As reported on SZ a month ago and possibly earlier than that.

At an estimated flow of two gallons per minute, that's 120 galls per hour, 2,880 per day which at a guess = £28.80 per day (working on the theory that it's a penny a one gallon flush). That's £1,728 wasted over the last say 60 days and if Tes doesn't come back from Cambridge soon to stick his thumb in the tap and stop the flow it will be another £2,592 down the plug hole over the close season, ie. getting on for £4,500. Plus VAT. That's 16.36 family season tickets extra (ignoring VAT) to sell just to pay the Water Board.

One thing at a time perhaps. Maybe best to concentrate on the Grimsby game first.

Let's hope that the club do not operate on a water meter system. Have you complained directly to the club rather than hope that they spot your complaint on SZ?? That would seem the obvious route!!

If you wish for this to be brought up at the club/Trust liaison meeting later today, please give me some information off line.

Surely a real fan would have stuck his finger in the tap and missed the Yeovil game in order to save the club money?

Maybe they are scared they are going to be accused of "tapping-up"....

Honestly, someone posts a genuine e-mail about a serious drain on the club's resources, and what is your response? U bend various words into an e-mail, just so that you can plug your particular brand of humour. Honestly, you're a bit of a drip at times...

 

[TerryintheWest]

come on this is a serious subject. we know that the club is not flush with money.

Can you stop flooding the board with these awful comments.

 

[Shrimp in a Kilt]

I was trying to think of another good pun, but I don't want to force it...!!

I've been trying to go with the flow but the attempts at toilet humour are sending this thread down the tubes. It's enough that our promotion hopes are going down the pan! Did I hear that urinal renny is the ref for this saturday?

Unfortunately, he has had to cry off at the last minute. So P Don is making a reffing comeback for Saturday.
