[Long time red]

Having been closely involved with the club over many years ( but not now) I am saddened by what as happened recently.
The TV Programme was in my opinion a disaster
Fraser Eagle going into Adminisration (or whatever) leaving a hole in the budget.
Dropping crowds, reasons open to debate.
Gambling accusations leaving a bad taste in the mouth of anyone who as either put money into the club, supported the club or volunteered their time.
Protracted investigation by FA.
Eric is not the easiest of people to get to know, but unlike you out there who are trying to second guess him, let me tell you that he as put a tremendous amount of money into getting the club to its present position. On more than one occasion he paid the tranfers fees for incoming players
that Coleman wanted to buy because he felt that the asking price was too much and he could not "waste " the clubs money, and to back the Manager he would rather waste his own.
Never have I been up to the club without him being there or him being out on club business. A shrewd businessman for 15 years. Expected cost 15 x £50,000 work it out for yourselves.
Yes it does seem that the club as robbed Peter to pay Paul as someone said earier but in todays enviroment they are not on there own.
Does he deserve to get his money back or will he, I don't know but he sure as hell doesn't not deserve some a the smart ar-e comments on here.
Without him ASFC would be looking forward to playing in the Unibond next year
