The meeting tonight is for The Owners as you have correctly stated, The Trust,TravelZone,All At Sea and TBV..it is not exclusive to any one group it is a meeting that will be held once a month in future to keep all fans up to date with what is going on. I guess we could of said we have a meeting with TB on such and such a date but that is all we could of said as we do not know what is going to be said tonight.

As far as The Owners of The Zone are concerned, we will report back to members on the meeting as we did after the first one we had.

Sounds good to me,i look forward to all the latest chaps.
 
There is so much news to divulge to you all I do not know where to start....I will let you know details tomorrow...:finger2:


:winking:
 
THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME,
is it going to be another morning of constantly stopping work to see if this thread has been updated?
 
Firstly wages: as stated by our Scottish friend in another thread..the players have been paid , but the back room staff have not, some have in part others not at all.This will be rectified within the next week but we are NOT under any umbongo by the PFA and PS is still taking a look at players he would like to bring in to bolster the squad.

We owe the taxman approx 20k and they issued the winding up order 2 days after the payment was not received..The club feel they are once again being heavy handed with us.

A new re-jigged deal has been struck with Sainsbury's for continued financial support and this will enable monies to be drawn down over the next week.Basically we are skint and they are starting to play hardball.

The club hope to start building the horseshoe stadium this summer and are committed to making it 4 sided as soon as they can.The planning change that has recently been rubber stamped by the council now paves the way for progress on all fronts of development.

TB knows nothing about Steve Tilson's outstanding wages and has asked that he contacts him direct over this matter as all he has dealt with are issues since he became CEO and has only seen solicitors letters regarding termination of contract.

TB takes no wages from the club and is here to safeguard monies he has loaned the club and to run the club whilst RM sorts the development of RH and FF....TB is only partner in the stadium side of FF ..The shops complex is 100% RM.

I will add more during the day as I get time (or remember it), but I am sure Smiffy will add a few bits.

......sounds like a typical Ron questions and answers set!
 
Nothing we didn't know already.

No explanations as to why when we were meant to have no further issues this year we are again struggling to pay bills.

Nothing but "we hope" to begin the building.

The comment about the taxman is absurd. Pay the bills before they are due and stop complaining they are being heavy handed when we failed to pay them millions!

I agree there is nothing much we didn't already know...Apparently Sainsbury's changed the terms of the loan and wanted the council to ratify things before they were prepared to loan the club any more money.TBH Tara did not seem over concerned about anything ..although he says money is a problem and will be for the forseable future.

Well we all thought that, and that has been confirmed then. I take that as good news and a step forward to the bowl with a hole.

Money is a problem and will be, but what does that actually mean, does that mean we can't sign 5 players or does that mean we can't pay staff and players? or lastly does it mean the Sainsburys money won't be enough? A League 2 and 1 club will probably always have money problems compared to other clubs who can afford to keep paying stupid wages. I'd like to know what the exact money problem is, if you understand what I mean?

Basically every time they draw down money from Sainsbury's to help with running costs of the club this reduces the total amount they are getting for RH and they don't like that very much.This is why things are picking up rapidly with the development..How it will make any difference to us when we move to FF and the Toblerone stadium with very few facilities is beyond me.What happens when Sainsbury's are no longer our benefactors?
