I've just been speaking with Liam and Steve

[Olly]

all i will say. a name which can not be mentioned.PETERBOROUGH UTD. RUSHDEN & DIAMONDS. and sorry where did the present owners come from. WEYMOUTH FC. did KC's company not look into the finances of WEYMOUTH FC about 3years ago for the name we can't mention.and was investigated by the FA.

Pardon? Do you mean Colin Hill? Is he still involved with the club in any way?

Yeah he means CH, I doubt he's still involved but it is slightly worrying that even now we still have links with Weymouth with Calder and now the Beasants, probably just a coincidence

[Diamond Warrior]

Hill was linked with Sheffield Wednesday earlier in the season..

don't know how to put links on but on the 1/12/11 (2 weeks later KC sold RDFC ) with no DEBTS?? but kept the ground.

[Formic]

What I find incomprehensible about this situation is that the Beasants can the find time to talk to any fan who wants to go to the ground for a interview to explain the current situation and yet not be able to release a general public statement for all fans.

Just imagine if a hudred fans wanted a personal chat with them, how could they fit it in with all the work they say they are doing to save the club...it just does not make sense to me.

Talk is cheap, actions speak louder than words...

We've already had one statement this week - and that was also included in the programme for those that don't have the internet. What has changed since then - other than someone speculating on an internet forum about a matter that only the club directors can decide, whatever an informed observer might conclude.

I'm confident there will be another statement when there is something new that needs saying.

The whole sad sorry saga to me begs the question, did Calder and the Beasants actually carry out any kind of Due Diligence process when taking over from KC.

If they did, it would amaze me the levels of debt were not uncovered.

If they did not, then it would appear to be the most stupid investment since the Sinclair C5 on their part.

I wonder which it is......

They could've changed the way we live if marketed properly. I'm IN ;)

That's what I was thinking after reading the Conference's recent statement. The other worrying thing is that they appeared to have discovered items relating to the club's finances since the Fans Forum in early March. :evil:

thanks Mad Dog for your diligence in asking some of the questions which are greatly concerning us on here. From your recent posts, and from other conversations with you, I know you have the club at heart but at the moment I cannot share your optimism. For the first time since the scheme has been available I have not taken advantage of the early-bird season ticket offer and will renew mine only when I am satisfied things are being dealt with and not swept aside with empty promises. I am only too willing to volunteer to help again in the summer, and am pleased that Steve B has publicly thanked this season's volunteers, but it seems to me that too many people who held Diamonds dear were deliberately alienated when the Beasants first arrived and I believe this was deliberate rather than inexperience. Perhaps, in hindsight, they regret this but a lot of the problems are of their own making and cannot be blamed on previous owners, staff or voluntary help. The rallying round for the programme, the response to Dale's parents and the applause for Justin and the players on Saturday show that a lot of us want the club to continue but I wish I could feel the same about our present owners.

I was told about this today.
