Ilyas. the £250k he was not prepared to put in but this is a much smaller amount. In fairness it is only a loan. If the club pay it back, regularly and on time etc then it may open the way for more (imho) but the main thing was that it helps the club out at a time when cash flow is limited

in essence it isn't. The two groups can more than happily work side by side though. The FF contains people who have lots of links to various bodies that can help the FC. For instance one positive of wednesday night was that our secretary, Shabir Siddique, is Chairman of Hyndburn Leisure Trust (or something like it) and offered to propose a motion at the following nights board meeting that ASFC can have gratis (or at the very least) heavily discounted use of the boroughs Sports Facilities. Etc Etc
The OSC tends to be about the average fan who has limited or no knowledge of board room stuff but just wants to get involved. It may mean that in the coming months we try to shift the focus of OSC meetings - but that will depend on the bodies that come.
