You are wrong.

I am certainly no more gifted in terms of emotional intelligence than most people. I far to often fire from the hip. I can be on many occasions bombastic and too determined to win an argument rather than persuade. Worse at times I can be a complete idiot, Far too often engaging in petty little squabbles. And my academic record, while good, is far from outstanding. I'm also convinced that intelligence is probably an overrated virtue. Hard work mattering so much more than some artificial gift over which we have no control.

I also would never use a term like intellectually superior. A ridiculous and arrogant word to use or claim. Also I am certain that there are people who come on this board who have a higher IQ than me. I certainly met many in my twenty years as a barrister.



You are wrong. But with an IQ of 148 I suspect I am not intellectually inferior to most of the people on this board either.

Sounds like a similar I.Q. to Donald Trump.

Now that is a very interesting post. I hope you don't mind but I would add something to it. You are an exile, so am I. There is a vast amount of untapped resource out there, namely the exile community. I completely get your point about having a hardcore group of local people supporting the board, but the potential for additional contribution is massive.

In the past, in a small way I have offered support to a board member but I didn't get a reply. Were there to be some sort of exiles action croup that could contribute is some way to supporting the club behind the scenes, I would contribute if I could. I must point out that I am no leader, I am no instigator but I can contribute to the team. If you would like to PM me, perhaps I can let you know what I can offer. I am thinking along the lines of admin support, attempting to raise revenue, community issues etc. Perhaps we can get something going, you never know. Just a thought.

The other option regarding a ground is obviously some Kind of ownership/equity stake at RP. Most of what I know about our relationships with WRU/council I get from this forum and from that I am not encouraged about any prospect of an influential stake in RP. I may be wrong, others locally may know factors which make it more feasible.

Hi,

I live in the far northwest of England and being only 16 and still in school can't really get to see County. Hope that changes. I think that it would be great if someone with your opinions and history of organization was to organize a group for County fans all over the country.

Someone needs to do it because I think if they did more people would give money to help the club. An ex director and somebody who is so good at getting things done, like you would be a brilliant person to do this. And living so far from Newport you understand how difficult it can be.

I can help you with WhatsApp and things like that if you think it wood help.

You obviously know your club history with your ref to Len.A great keeper I saw in the 60's and 70's. Yes, and your skills and enthusiasm will be valuable if we can progress this. However, it does need to be driven by people in or around Newport with us far away folk contributing what we can. I hope somebody in Newport can step up to this.

In fairness to Handoflucifer, I had a PM from Lenthegloved and he Lucifer are not the same person.

Whether Handoflucifer is an original director in charge of fixing for the renaissance Newport AFC I very much doubt but he and Len ain't the same.
