Oh dear,

I am sure Tony will sort it, after all he does have several businesses one of which has something to do with loans.

Would that be the period of time discussions were being held over buying the shay?

I'm sorry to say it but its not good enough, its embarrassing to the club and it needs sorting, yesterday!

Maybe we are broke?

Re: Rent arrears : Wed Jan 29, 2014 4:32 pm  

A'h well this will stoke up the vitriol form the Town fans, well done.

Swifty, that is irrelevant. WE HAVENT PAID OUR RENT. For over a year. No ifs, no buts, no negotiations over buying the Shay. We haven't paid our rent and it needs paying.

It calls into account so many things this. No wonder Mr Abbott went all quiet on twitter. Was his intention just to get hold of the Shay? Do we not have the money to pay the rent? Are we broke?

This is not good. You cannot dress it up any other way, nor make excuses. Remember we had an official club statement implying this was all sorted.....

I feared the worst for a while
