I wonder who the other person was.

I wonder when this all came to light - relative to the timescale of his later involvement at R&DFC.

The odd thing is that there was no real need for insider information - it was common knowledge the Weymouth side would be under-strength for quite a while before the bookies got their acts together.

I always wondered what was going on in the dugout at Weymouth the last time we visited :o

Anybody remember during one of the final fans' forums when an older fan lambasted KC for the decision to enter into any dealings with Calder? Calder was in fact sat a couple of rows behind (or in front, the memory plays tricks) and heard the whole thing. Brilliant moment.

Yes I remember that moment. I also remember rattling KC by keeping on putting my hand up to ask a question, after the third question, he announced only three questions per person. That was fine by me, I just asked people round me to ask my next questions. He didn't like it. Gosh I wish I could bump into him in Thailand!!! I'd ask another question! SS
