Re: Rebel energy ceases trading

Thanks for the reply. Do we have a new sponsor lined up or are we looking for one?

Rebel energy ceases trading

It looks like our shirt sponsor has gone bankrupt, where does that leave us regarding next years kit etc? Will that sexy new away shirt still be made? Have we been paid the sponsorship monies?

Re: Returning to the Dog & Duck

The business is the clubhouse and ground run by Aide Mann. He has a lease on it that he paid for and he needs a return on his investment. I can understand his frustration but he ain't doing himself any favours airing his grievances in public, if diamonds fans boycott the clubhouse he's in a ...

Re: Returning to the Dog & Duck



I don't have a problem with a chairman presenting a new direction for the club to its members, presenting the facts, calling a vote and then, if they then loose that vote deciding to step down. But if these rumours are true then it does appear to be a bit of arm twisting.

Surely it's best to ...

Re: Returning to the Dog & Duck



There is also the issue of lost revenue with the small angry ginger man's friends and family bypassing the turnstiles by going into the ground through the clubhouse doors. I have witnessed this many times, on one occasion about a dozen of them. Whether any of these people would go if they had to ...

Re: Returning to the Dog & Duck

I'm glad my post has led to a debate about the pros and cons of the proposed move. The club would do well to remember that although it is fan owned, and those who do join should be those who vote on such things, it shouldn't be run just for those members. The club must be transparent with non ...

Re: Returning to the Dog & Duck

Am I less of a fan because i couldn't afford it at the start of the season? Why the secrecy? If people knew what the meeting is about, if it is about a proposed move, then they might be more inclined to become a member. Is there any need to make poorer fans feel like 2nd class supporters? Theres ...

I'm not a part owner, just a regular long term supporter, so can't see what that thread is about.

Returning to the Dog & Duck

During the last couple of games there were rumours going round about leaving Hayden Road and returning to the Dog & Duck. Any truth in this? Is this what the special meeting is about?
Personally I'm all for it. Although the location of Hayden Road is perfect for me, a 5 minute walk, it is no longer ...
