Most tinpot thing I ever heard. (tinpot thread)

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

According to our chairman at a shareholder's meeting last night ours is £600k. Not sure where that puts ours in the grand scheme of things.

Put you dead bang in the overachieving column if it's true.

 

[White Army]

If Cheltenhams is 600k and ours is 1 million then that's pretty scary. Don't want to think about how much were paying Higdon and Taylor Fletcher, at least the other two high earners Norwood and Mcnulty are earning their wage.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

You just wait until they move and start getting gates of 10000 regularly.

It's wierd that Fenty kept going on about how we had a bigger budget than Grimsby and that we have state support. Bizarre claims.

They'll have to fiddle the books if they get into the football league or the budget would drop due to FFP.

State aid

That clip looks like it's off a VCR from circa 1988. Also the guy interviewing him looks like he's just picked himself off the floor after a scrap at the local Wetherspoons.

 

[PaulHaddock]

Fenty and co have never been media-savvy or particularly savvy at anything. Pointless, terrible video that makes me think of I'm Alan Partridge so much. The interviewer Dale Ladson is also a talentless, waste of a wage; see the difference between the LJL Christmas ad and this disaster.

 

[GodsGift]

Dale is a nice chap, this isn't his fault. He was obviously put up to it by JF.

I doubt that's even an average budget in the Conference and I'm struggling to believe that bearing in mind you're also getting parachute payments. If it is correct, and you end up getting promoted, everyone involved in Cheltenham Town needs to buy Gary Johnson a pint because it'll end up going down as one of the biggest overachievement stories in recent times.

 

[PaulHaddock]

I'm sure Dale's a lovely guy but most of the interviews he conducts are awful. The same questions every time: " how did your move to Grimsby come about?"
" what sort of player are you?"

I think he even asked a striker once " Are you looking to score some goals at Grimsby?".

 

[Monkey Tennis]

So much about this video is tinpot: the 20-second shot of a back of a bloke's head, an interviewer with the charisma of a cheeseboard - looks like he's been battered with one too - and the sound of someone (cameraman?) taking a drag from a bong at one point. And "voiciferous". Haha.

 

[FGRJC]

This video -_-

 

[Aber gas]

This video -_-

Aargh no, just fucking no .. Nooooo

 

[Chris FGR]

This video -_-

Use the same recipe but chuck some steak in instead. Fucking lovely.

As it is, I'll stick to getting a kebab down the hill after the game.

As for the "only vegan club in the world" bit, the vast majority of our fans/staff/players are not vegan. The players/staff are allowed to eat what they want. And do.

So it's mainly just done to sell to the fans on matchdays really. Lucky us.

 

[Aber gas]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with vegetarian or vegan food tbh. But... That is is awful, those " protein" pellets should be banned and people who eat them sent to a re-education camp somewhere awful. Imvho of course.

 

[SomeMightShay]

This video -_-

Worst episode of masterchef. Ever.

That's some impressive fire-retardance (retardation?) on that shirt

Taken off one of our forums...

Tbf you can't really blame the BT graphics dept for not being able to tell all these tiny clubs apart.

You should really stop trying to be funny.

 

[Chris FGR]

You should really stop trying to be funny.

But I must be funny, people keep calling me a clown.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Well, they got the right county at least.

 

[Raymondo316]

''I think the difference is also because fans don't see themselves as customers and {…} they go to the restaurants with their families every week and they go to the cinema but if they aren't satisfied with the product will they go and scream to the people in charge of it? No they don't, but they do it with a football club and that's very weird (meaning unique) because they feel a sense of ownership of a football club and that's a really difficult balance of how you try and engage with fans and make them, incorporated into some of the decisions of the club ''

Charlton's statement to their customers

 

[Camborne Gills]

No wonder the trainspotters are struggling, read that pile of crap.

The definition of tinpot. Seems our chairman cant take any criticism whether its constructive or not.

Does he/she not realise that somebody will just make another one?

 

[DarkSithLord]

Does he/she not realise that somebody will just make another one?

He probably does. But this one was officially attached to the offical club website.

Be very surprised if someone did though.

Send them over here DSL!

Not sure if Southport naming Andy Bishop caretaker manager should go in here?

Our official forum has been "down for maintenance" for seven years now. I'd regroup as quickly as possible.
