Re: Vigilantes......
I agree with every post that has been made about the person who did this.
it was me.
I hadn't intended to do anything and disagree with anybody who thinks it is a good idea. The way it happened was that I had decided i wanted to sleep on the Clayton End as it may (or may not) have been the last time the ground was in that condition. Drunk and emotional I climbed over the fence to make my way to the clayton end. Whilst doing so I looked all around the ground and probably spent quite some time reflecting on everything I had witnessed there over the years. I happened across a can of spray paint and had a moment of weakness. I sprayed 'time to go' in 6" letters across the bit of wall that leads into the Gazelle Lounge. I then went to the Clayton End and tried to get to sleep after texting the first ten people in my phone to tell them where I was - including Dave O'Neil.
I am by no means making excuses for what happened just explaining why it happened.
I have spoken to Mick Schultz this morning and Dave O'Neil to apologise. I have also sent an email to Dave and Rob to explain and admit in full. I have also offered to reimburse whoever cleaned it up and have offered a case of stewards hi-viz vests as further apology.
The matter is now being dealt with by Dave and the police.
I offer my full apologies to all those fans who have acted in a way that hasn't caused any more upset or damage than necessary. It goes without saying that it won't happen again (by me) and I would implore everybody else to continue to act in a responsible and well behaved manner - it will get us nowhere. If members of the OSC and ASSF feel that I brought either organisation into disrepute then I will resign my position (it is only right). Please contact me by email, phone or PM to let me know.
Once again, sorry to everybody who I have let down - including myself.
Rob
