I'll be there tomorrow paying my respects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no doubt your reasoning above is a great nearer the mark than my speculation and best guessing contained in my posts on these matters. It's great to see you posting on forums again as your depth of knowledge, understanding, interpretation and explanation of the probable financial goings on at the club is of benefit to all of us that read them and are not hidden away like they have been amongst the bilge, trolling and nut jobs over on the Bolton News comments section were I suspect the vast majority of us steer well clear of. Thanks Sluffy. I'm pleased that, through our separate efforts, we have been able to shed a bit of light on the money trail so patently disregarded by the Beeno, Supporters Trust and other usual suspects. Can't please all the folk all the time though, can we? My further efforts to draw attention to Ian King's tribute to Eddie Davies and my criticism of David Conn and the Guardian newspaper for their blind prejudice and disregard of Eddie's achievements seem to have fallen foul of one of the moderators at Wanderers Ways Towers who decided he would delete them. It seems that I committed the cardinal sin (which I was unaware of) of posting the article rather than the link to the article. I remain entirely unconvinced that the tenor of the rebuke was in any way warranted. Anyway I shall be off today to the Memorial Service. Its years since I've been in Bolton town centre and I expect that most of the places I used to enjoy frequenting are no longer there. I'm making no predictions but It will be interesting to see who attends and who doesn't. Edited November 15, 2018 by Chris Custodiet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Custodiet Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Just a final few words from me. I had a walk round Bolton town centre before entering the Parish Church on Thursday and was struck by the thought that any signs of neglect around the town were in no way replicated at the church. There was a good gathering inside but the church was not full. Eddie was never a show-off and it seemed to me he would only really have been interested in the genuinely caring or thoughtful in any case. I saw no Baron Taylor of Clitheroe (aka Chunky) but did spot Baronness Taylor of Bolton who looked well and in good form. I also recognised a lot of faces in the pews reserved for invitees including Michael James, Alan Duckworth and Peter Ridsdale. Peter had his share of bad press in the past but I always quite liked him and was pleased to see him paying his respects to Eddie. The tributes to Eddie were thoughtful, thought-provoking and heart-warming not least from his ex-Old Farnworthian pal and Wanderers supporter, David Bedford. Ken Anderson was not present. Neither was Dean Holdsworth or Sam Allardyce and, though I cannot say that I was surprised, the reasons in each case I'm sure would have been quite different. Eddie would have thought that I was wasting my time contributing to Wanderersways and he would have been right. So I don't intend to do so again for the foreseeable future. To Sluffy and anyone else who might have been interested in my small contribution, I'll say adios amigos, hasta luego. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are welcome over on Bolton Nuts Chris as you have always been in the past. We much rather your voice is heard rather than be concerned with anything else. Thank you for the informed narrative you've given us on the financial goings on at the club so far - and long may you wish to continue to do so, no matter where.

Moderators Casino Posted November 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2018 He's certainly a refreshing alternative to the ramblings of shorthand and Firth And to his credit he does generally try to present the information we gave without leaping to conclusions Prefer his contributions to be here But if you're not happy, so be it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris clearly is a person who has demonstrated he knows his way around companies financial accounts and thus is almost certainly to have some sort professional career in the financial world, and so to be told by the head moderator that he 'stole' something clearly was, shall we say, a misguided word to have chosen to use for a rather inconsequential infringement of this sites rules, whereby he posted up an article in tribute and in remembrance to Eddie Davies (including the authors name and media site he wrote it for) but simply and unknowingly failed to supply the link to it only as is required here. Then when questioning the word 'stolen' and the inference the word had, find that the original thread was then deleted without any explanation. On asking why the thread was deleted he was told that he was being 'arsey', told to 'bore off' and finally be told by the site owner himself to drop the matter or he would ban him himself!

Guest Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Does the rust really have 3,000 members? Just received an email rom them; These are very practical measures that the Trust has taken to help safeguard the future of our club should the worst scenario unfold, but with just over 3000 members accounting for around 20-25% of our average home gate, it could be argued that it is not a representative mouthpiece for Bolton’s supporters and so used to justify limited engagement with the club.

Moderators Casino Posted November 17, 2018 Moderators Share Posted November 17, 2018 The justification for it's limited engagement is that they are a set of cocks with no relevance As for the membership numbers, I'd probably accept it is 3k but I'm sure they once claimed 6k You used to have to pay annually but they scrapped subscriptions, probably to reduce the numbers saying fcuk this, what a set of nobbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
