it's not to justify anything Jase, it's just to say who we are. Most people know a few of us but likewise there are names on there that nobody at all knows.

what competence does anybody bring? Every option we have had over the years has had some degree of incompetence - be it balancing books or communication or both.

Thanks!

a £25,000 loan to tide the club over during the lean months for one thing - do you not read the website, forum or newspapers?
some if not all of us are involved daily with fundraising efforts, manning stalls, selling Gold Bond tickets.

you calling Loweiy little? in all seriousness you are right to have fears. But why should a committeee be any worse than having one man responsible for everything? Eric Whalley was a one man crusade to run ASFC, every decision had to go through him. Some were right and some were wrong. The decision to pay some things before the tax bill was clearly a wrong decision and would have been taken despite the best advice of all around him - we were hoping for the crowds to pick up, we were hoping for the big cup draw. It was a gamble that should never have been taken. A committee made up of long standing supporters of this great club would not allow such gambles to be taken. Said committee would also never fail to work with the best interests of the club at heart.

why should you believe that The Don can? why should you believe that the next person to make an offer can? you don't know and neither do I if all honesty is taken but its not rocket science when you break it down. There are people already at the club who know what their day to day jobs are in order to maintain FL membership and the rest is just daily common sense, don't spend what you haven't got, you can't sell what you haven't got, answer emails to customers, let folk know whats happening, pay the taxes on time etc etc. Far easier to do if you start with a clean slate on the accounts don't you think?

this kinda adequately sums up your postings last night Redskin. From your first post claiming not to know what this was all about to the last one claiming to have ****ed your pants.

In my first post I asked that this thread be kept clear of litter so that the information, as requested, was all in one easy to read place. Well done little man, you have managed to spoil it. If you havce any serious questions then feel free to ask them - elsewhere.

Whatever people think of groups such as the ASSF I think that should at least respect the fact that they are there and are trying to help. It might not be the best deal to suit all parties - but it is the best deal to suit ASFC, and that is why we are all here.

Should any other groups of people wish to get themselves together and form some sort of coalition in order to provide David O'Neil with the funds to run his business then feel free. If anybody else wants to conditionally or unconditionally put money into the club then place your offer on the table and it will be dealt with.
