it defo wasnt arnu merge, you can have it ;) Thanks. If you do a word search you will see the first time the word was used on the forum and who by. http://www.viewsfromthesieve.co.uk/search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=Tampon&start=20 I'm also the person who wrote 'don't...

arnu tampon was my sad arse attempt at a joke but you can have the glory. exactly alan the only reason people want gooders is the history, it makes no sense at all. digger most of that was burnetts style not stillys. we need change thats clear to see, dont think either are the option tho. Actually ...

Personally, if the club does not need immediate investment which is the official position, I'm for taking whatever medicine is coming in terms of restructuring the club as a National League team, and building again in the right way, as a Members club, with no risk that in a few years we might be go...

Dunno what all the fuss is about. He's willing to pump huge amounts of money into the club, we've had a diet of shit football since 2011 and we are in the conference with no money and no doubt dwindling gates. What's the worst that could happen ? We go bust a bit later than we are due to is all I c...

Good post Mike the Dagger.

Let's not forget Scarborough, Hereford, Darlington, Stockport, and even Boston.
The list of clubs ending up as AFC or similar is endless. All had a similar pattern to what is being proposed here.

Final Place: 1st after winning all our games 6-0

Fa Trophy: winners
Essex Senior Cup: Winners
Top Goalscorer: three players jointly: Fejiri, Assombalonga, maguire-drew
Average Crowd: 1,600

That is good news.
I hate the way the club is steamrollering to sell out, without thinking of the long term consequences.
I'm also very concerned about how certain members of the board are cosying up to Tamplin.

Which consortium is this? The new Tamplin consortium or the Goodwin consortium?

Spot on Mark. Don't sacrifice the club to chase league football, grow and market the club instead. We need to have some fresh thinking on marketing the club. I live in Chelmsford and they have always got posters in pubs and shops advertising dinner events with guest speakers (they've got Nigel Wint...

Switched back apparently.

Oh and one more thing... Can't think if it's in this thread or elsewhere, the comment about Glen Tamplin pulling out once already because of the fans hatred of him. If he thinks what he saw before made him feel uncomfortable; He ain't seen nothing yet. Maybe I should change my name from auntie merge...

The chairman Paid the tax bill and that will be paid back to him once the Jones money comes in. It was not £300k less than a third of that. Thommo boast about paying the Tax Bill but stares no facts as to how or why it was late. Lee Goodwin knows a hell of a lot and it's all fact because current bo...

What other income streams that the club controls that could increase revenue? Let's start with the bar/clubhouse. It seems less appealing these days with so few using it compared with 5-10 years ago. Merchandise has been mentioned (club shop etc). How about naming rights on the ground. I wouldn't e...

Actually that is quite good except for the crappy badge.
I would have bought one but not with that badge.

I'm not so much questioning how much money he has or hasn't got, although that should be of some concern. I am however questioning his commitment ( forums passim) . This is man who seems to want to own a football club - any football club. He does not seem to care too much whether It is Brentwood, Bi...
