SpiritofBurnden Posted March 14, 2011 Author Posted March 14, 2011 He's just been on. Wishes Nat was around to see the semi-final. The statue will be discussed with his family. We've been allocated 35,000 tickets for the semi-final.
shropshire bwfc Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 He's just been on. Wishes Nat was around to see the semi-final. The statue will be discussed with his family. We've been allocated 35,000 tickets for the semi-final. came across quite well I thought. Said we didn't have the biggest fan base so should be able to accomodate everyone, and that he was an advocate of playing semis at Wembley cos players were to be given every chance to play there. This game should be played at Old Trafford everyone knows that but we are we are and it wont change any time soon
no balls Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 came across quite well I thought.

This game should be played at Old Trafford everyone knows that but we are we are and it wont change any time soon I'd sooner go to London than OT to be honest but there you go, can't please all the people all the time.
shropshire bwfc Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Been there 3 times already no balls. Great stadium but I hear Emirates is better (one of only 2 Prem grounds yet to visit). Preferred Allianz Arena myself. Looking forward though and of course happy to go back a month later
Ani Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Do we stil hate gartslime? OR Have we realised that despite making some mistakes along the way he is actually doing an incredibly good job and the way people talk about him at times is a fucking disgrace?

He'll always be Darkside to me. He's a cad and a bounder!

OR Have we realised that despite making some mistakes along the way he is actually doing an incredibly good job and the way people talk about him at times is a fucking disgrace? The latter definitely imo. Garty...... the most successful chairman in BWFC history.
HomerJay Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 gartside, davies and allarydce all played a MASSIVE club in putting this club where it is today. nothing but respect from me.
darwen_white Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Love him or loathe him, the fact is, he's kept us in the top flight for 10 years when a lot bigger clubs have tried, and failed miserably. As for him defending the semis being played at Wembley, he is after all, an exec director at the new Wembley!
fruitbat69 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 He rang me after the Boro Carling cup ticket fiasco so will always have my respect for that. Don't think many other chairman would have done that.
surrey_white Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Met Phil a couple of times and he has always come across as a decent bloke. He even bought me a pint, can't complain!
athywhite1958 Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 (edited) He's there to do a job, which he does very well, and gets very well paid Edited March 14, 2011 by athywhite1958
bwfcol Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 I've met Phil a few times, top bloke, listens to the fans and does try to help them out where he can. He must get fed up with the crap though that gets fired at him.

The True Marple White Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 Met him a couple of times, first couple very much an arrogant tosser. Laterly seemed ok
stevieb Posted March 14, 2011 Posted March 14, 2011 He'll do for me after his speech at Nats funeral, showed he was a top guy
medwaywhite Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 top bloke when ive spoke to him. helped us out in belgrade ,with a coach back to the hotel.
Guest Frandsen08 Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 bought me a pint in belgrade. that'll do.
big gal Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 He usually goes to the sportsmans dinner at plodder lane with eddie davies, and he takes questions and chats to people so i think he is a decent bloke.
seasoned Traveller Posted March 15, 2011 Posted March 15, 2011 He'll do for me after his speech at Nats funeral, showed he was a top guy Agreed.
