Mounts Kipper Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Fans have the power - big fuck off mega lolz Mounts you have been doing so well recently as well.... Of course they do if for example fans were pissed off with Ken and season ticket renewals went down 75% how long you think before he changed tack? Quote
Traf Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Of course they do if for example fans were pissed off with Ken and season ticket renewals went down 75% how long you think before he changed tack? It wouldn't happen, hardcore will go no matter what Quote
Underpants Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 The fans hold all the cards But they keep making shit hands. Quote
tomski Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I note that Ken/Lee say we are making a signing and Iles is asked who it is and is like "I don't know ask them". Ken mentions a winding up petition that he has sorted and within an hour Iles has a story up about a winding up petition trying to cast doubt on part of Ken's statement. Iles is so so transparent I don't know why he bothers to pretend. He'd love the ST running the club. Bet thinking about that is his nightly dose of viagra. is Iles only reporting news as his job? I fail to see how he is trying to bring KA down in any sort of way Quote
Guest Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 is Iles only reporting news as his job? I fail to see how he is trying to bring KA down in any sort of way For signings he won't report anything. He claims "been asked not to say". Yet for stuff like a winding up petition he takes Ken's words then immediately rewrites a story full of false concern. Its ridiculously obvious. Quote

Possibly doesn't get any info about the first paragraph due to his actions in the 2nd? Quote
barrycowdrill Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 (edited) he retweeted a story from the South London whatever the other day about us being knocked back for the Charlton CB. 5 Minutes later, he published the article in the BN word for word as if it was his own. The fat Thumb headed cnut couldnt find his arse hole with both hands let alone scoop a story from the club hes one negative article from being banned from. The sooner the club distance that idiot from them the better Edited August 3, 2018 by barrycowdrill Quote

Traf Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 You should know better than that where were this hardcore 80-87? Different times, mate and you know that too. Currently there's about 12,000 who'd go come what may. Quote
Zico Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 For signings he won't report anything. He claims "been asked not to say". Yet for stuff like a winding up petition he takes Ken's words then immediately rewrites a story full of false concern. Its ridiculously obvious. for the signings, he either doesn't know or can't say as they might not tell him again - it's not as though there's 2 sides of the story when we sign players, he can speculate all day long though if he wants the rest is just opinion pieces and based on info out in the public domain. if you take ken on his word regards the business side of the club, you will have no concerns, if you don't, nothing wrong with voicing them I'm pretty certain he'll have been a cunt with heathcotes - if he decides not to pay certain players on time, he'll not be in a hurry to pay catering bills on time either Quote
Ratwhite Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Different times, mate and you know that too. Currently there's about 12,000 who'd go come what may. Agree with this. There’s not a chance in hell 75% wouldn’t renew We’re hardened “turd-polisher” watchers Quote
Take Hunt Off Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 In the eighties fans deserted the club fairly quickly after the relative success of the seventies .They worked out the cycle fairly quickly & jumped ship (the cylcle being a near twenty year one ie relegation/promotion to the top flight You have to say the spineless bastards got it about right as it took about another twenty years to get back to the big league Fans were more cynical then than they are now which is amazing given social media etc.(ignoring the sizable numpty minority) Simply not going didnt work then & wouldnt work now it just drives the club downwards.

stevieb Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 It wouldn't happen, hardcore will go no matter what Some fickle fans would always drop out over lack of condiments or other such nonsense though. Quote
Carlos Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 It's interesting, back in the day the BEN was the club's main comms channel. They needed them as much as much as the BEN needed the club. Now they can put something out themselves at almost zero cost and reach more people than the BN instantly. The media become more and more marginalised. An irrelevance. Quote

Now they can put something out themselves at almost zero cost and reach more people than the BN instantly. The media become more and more marginalised. An irrelevance. Spot on, thanks to Facebook, twitter, Instagram etc the club can reach hundreds of thousands of people instantly rather than a few thousand (if that) the next day. They've just short of 300k followers on Facebook alone. The BEN has 50k or so Quote
Sweep Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Iles is so so transparent I don't know why he bothers to pretend. He'd love the ST running the club. Bet thinking about that is his nightly dose of viagra. He's still smarting from backing the wrong horse Quote

In the 80s the fans deserted football up and down the country. BWFC going through all 4 divisions in that time didn't help our cause. Quote
Ghana White Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Isles clearly doesn't like Ken, seems to be a pattern though, anyone Ken comes into contact with business wise doesn't like him then gets slagged off in his chairman's column. He's worse then a Scouser for always being the victim. Personally I think he's doing a good job in a lot of ways, it's not a bad thing being disliked, must be great when he's being cut throat. Doesn't seem to help when it comes to investment etc. No one lining up, we're not a big draw but slagging people off and spitting your dummy out every 5 minutes isn't going to encourage people to go into business with you.

barrycowdrill Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 A nice guy nearly ruined the club An Horrible bastard ( in a business sense) is doing his best to save it. Cutting adrift any hangers on i know which one i appreciate Quote
Cheese Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 I'm in the minority camp where we like Ken Anderson AND Marc Illes at the same time. I really don't see a conflict. Quote
HomerJay Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Illes is just doing his job to be fair to him. And not a job I envy. Quote

Boothy Posted August 3, 2018 Posted August 3, 2018 Imagine being Iles and having to deal with Greasy Ken, haha poor bastard Quote
