I'd love it so much if he ends up going bankrupt.

Pretty much sums up everyone's thoughts.

Was it in Norfolk?

In other news, Billericay are installing two massive screens to show replays etc for the 4,000+ crowds (I jest you not) the owner expects.

Can't link at moment sorry!

Seriously? Who do they think they are barcelona? Im sure they will get bigger crowds with folk jumping on bandwagon but no need for replay screens. The club reminds me of darlington a few year ago, excentric owner doing stuff for attention. And folk still remember the trail of destruction george reynolds left

Are you even allowed to do that?

Is wrmbjeys supposed to be Wembleys? And if so, what the fuck does 'Wembleys are all Sainsbury's' mean?

Billericay are the Netto of football. A weird curiosity that will go tits up when the novelty wears off.

Don't most at these levels have volunteer's going in during the summer doing bits and pieces like that?

They're 100% fan owned Exeter right, the love heart is a bit cringe but no tinpottery here

 

[The_Boss]

These league fans really don't understand tinpottery.

 

[Pliny Harris]

Agreed with both the above. Fans, especially in fan-owned clubs, doing the work around the ground is how it's allus been. It's sad when even basic jobs like painting the terraces and warming the pies are outsourced.

Didn't even realise there was a love heart. I just saw a different photo on Twitter earlier and thought it was the same one!

Not sure if tinpot but didn't really want to start a new topic. Our former captain Andy Halls has been kicking off as we've not paid his bonus for us reaching the FA Trophy final.

Macclesfield Town Verified account @thesilkmen: The guys in the background are still working hard on the new site. So expect more features in the coming weeks...

Andy Halls‏ @a_halls2: Ask them if they can get me my money on time

Silkmen Updates‏ @silkmenupdates: Do find it strange that Macclesfield are handing out two year contracts now yet they can't pay your bonus. Apparently...

Andy Halls‏ @a_halls2: I found it strange that the team made the club over 200k which was unexpected but can't pay a pre agreed bonus scheme for reaching final.

Ed Gorton‏ @edjgorton05: The owner has taken it Hallsy. This has lead to fans organising protests and boycotts.

Andy Halls‏ @a_halls2: Well hopefully you can now see why I have left. I have no wages this month and that bonus was literally just covering my bills.

Ed Gorton‏ @edjgorton05: Also find it weird how the club is now offering 2 year deals to players

Andy Halls‏ @a_halls2: They aren't full 2 years. Players still don't get paid over the summers

Silkmen Updates‏ @silkmenupdates: Did you get paid over the summer on a one year contract? How did you pay bills etc during June/July etc if you weren't getting paid?

Andy Halls‏ @a_halls2: No, it's a 10 month contract. I have to work all year in order to save enough to get me through the 2 months without pay

Ed Gorton‏ @edjgorton05: I understand not getting money your entitled to isn't right... but putting it on twitter isn't right either...

Andy Halls‏ @a_halls2: Respect is earned not given. There's lads in the current team that haven't even been contacted to explain why their money isn't in on time.

Tom b‏ @conwy1: Could you make a mire detailed public statement Andy? its the poor fans not knowing and caught in the crossfire here.

Andy Halls‏ @a_halls2: The fans should know, I agree. You're all allowed to voice your opinions on me leaving so I'm entitled to have speak on not getting paid

Over £200k from FA Trophy run? Not as much as that, is it?

 

[Farleigh]

I admit i don't know toomuch about Conference South but why does everyone hate Whitehawk so much?

A case of do as I say, not do as I do?

Former Whitehawk chairman sounds like a right little charmer.

I was worried the timing of my post wouldn't hit the target audience after I posted!!

No chance, not even if you win it which they didn't! We didn't even make that after winning it in front of a 35k attendance.

He is referring to the £200k that was predominantly made from players sales in January, as well as a bit from the Trophy run. The rumoured transfer fees for the players we sold in January were; Danny Rowe to Ipswich for around £150k, Paul Lewis to Cambridge for £40k and Jack Mackreth to Bury for £30k. Additionally, we made some money from the Trophy run. Despite only a small amount of this being reinvested in loan players for the remainder of the season, good sources at the club tell me a large amount was not reinvested into the playing budget and is not in our budget for this coming season, which is supposedly the same as last season (circa £350k). Andy Halls' point is, as far as I can make out, 'where did this £200k+ go, because there surely should have been enough to pay my bonus'.

I like how their ultras called a meeting to basically confirm they're not a racist like him. Idiots.

It's cringe, but it's great PR. When it was announced yesterday it was all over my Twitter feed. Did its job perfectly.

Exactly. Danny Cowley hoovered the dressing room at the Emirates in case this hasn't been mentioned before.

Exactly, we have a brilliant group of fans who do work at the ground in the summer for free.

Only by supporters of other Clubs, bizarrely.
