Pretty much confirmation we are taking legal action against them.

Only time will tell i guess? If true such a same if it has come to that.

Should that be so Bush, I would hope we hear no more of eat and drink in the RP bars from the club.
Always a bit quid pro quo before but if we are that far down the line maybe time to stop being so sub servient, and I say that as one who loves the venue ( but not the terms).

Agree if it is definate, but wouldn't want to cut off my nose to spite my face?

All I got from that was the knowledge that someone has learned how to embed YouTube clips of something I have no intention of ever wasting my time watching. Oh, and put a face to a name, which I *really* didn't want to do because I don't particularly want real life to leak into my postings on here either.

I've saved everyone the trouble of having to see it again, anyway.

They'd still make revenue off the Dragons name and the "franchise" elsewhere, not sure what the land swap entails though, wouldn't they just want to sell (and the Council probably isn't in a position for any great expenditure given the lack of central government funding for a lot of what they're obliged to provide and the pressure on reserves for more essential functions)?

The Council could sell some prime assets (eg. the Library & Museum in Josh Frost Sq) and use that money. They could also move those facilities to a new stand at Rodney Parade?

Well you’ve hardly done that have you? The link is still in my first post. Of course you don’t have to watch it. As for the first bit, posting a link is hardly rocket science is it? I’ve always taken the attitude that I’ll listen to a point of view rather than not but that’s up to you.

It's all, "me, me, me" on those YouTube videos from Stan!

Surely not?

It's a bit below the belt to mention this while he is serving yet another ban, but I could never get my head round the contrast between his attitude to confidentiality around club business and the fact he worked in a field where the same approach would have been professional suicide.

Far be it from me to make apologies for Stan but surely there’s work and there’s play and I suspect for him , this is play. He enjoys winding people up while maintaining the skin of a rhinoceros.

Edit. I should have added though that what he is dead serious about I’m sure is the safe future of our club. If he isn’t then I have seriously misjudged his utterings and intentions.

Someone told me the other day that the guy advocated publishing the salaries of players. I genuinely laughed out loud.

Yes I’m sure that move would be very popular with the other 107,000 people in the city that don’t watch the county! What dream world do you live in?

Why? They would still have the same facilities (even though they have talked about closing it for years).

I'm old enough to remember going bust and the effect that bad administration had on that. I am not worried. I am looking forward to the season, very much. Those that are getting worked up by this kinda stuff, can you please just chill out a bit now......

I'm not really aware what the terms of a ban entail. Can the banned person access the forum but not post any messages, or is there a total block? I suppose it's largely irrelevant as a banned member could just rejoin under a different identity, we know that's been done Who knows, maybe Stan is doing so at present.
