What an utter shite show, just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse.
The rank and file followers have been very patient, perhaps heeding the advice not to burn the bridge when you’re standing on it.
Well the bridge IS on fire. I hope there are protests on Monday. The message to Talal and his cronies needs to be clear…get the feck out of our club NOW
I don’t know about Wyke, but most of us will have a drink problem after watching that pile of old f*nny.
We know the squad isn’t Championship standard (not sure which is Fletcher’s league tbh) but if we’d played a League 2 side today in a must win game they would have surely had more of a go than us?
Season Tickets on sale tomorrow; what an advert it was today
On that note I’ll get back to my Shiraz
Refusing to play will be the next step.
They’ve had enough and who could blame them.If I hadn’t been paid after 2 weeks I wouldn’t be working.
Indie Latics have launched Phase 2…
Not sure whether it will do any good, but collectively we will not stand idly by and watch our club die by a thousand cuts.
Going nicely on #WAFC. Make the Board listen and take note. Keep the Faith!
Anyone else see North West Tonight, tonight?
Big article on the club’s problems and JT no less interviewed.
Unfortunately (well you never know with the BBC) the next article was about the Bank of Dave. Couldn’t make it up
Should be available on BBC Iplayer later (wasn’t available yet just now)
So Talal is planning to honour us with his presence “in the coming days”?
He’s the chairman of the club FFS and the club is in crisis. A crisis of the owner’s making. His personal attendance is the very least we should expect.
I’ve personally been involved in the Twitter/Facebook campaign today (fair play to everyone who’s contributed); perhaps we’ve forced his hand to finally speak?
The EFL charges against the owner (Al Jasmi?), who just like the Chinese gang and the opposite of Uncle Dave, has no affinity to the club or town whatsoever, will lead to one thing…
I reckon he’ll turn round to the EFL and say sod the lot of you and walk away…admin number 2
From the horse’s mouth –

Yes received email about 11.30 just read it. Something about having to use a barcode.
No mention of when they will be on sale or if the early price will be extended
Presume most people have seen this, but I’ve not seen it linked on forums, so here goes…
The EFL ruling from January –
Point 7(a) makes it clear the suspended 3 point penalty will be applied “immediately” if any further breach before 31/12/23.
Point 7(b) is interesting. Pretty obvious from what’s happened the deposit account hasn’t been used, but “the full terms of which have been set out in an agreement between the EFL and the Club”.
Anyone know anymore? There’s no timescale shown in the published ruling for setting up the account?Tough call at the moment. Ultimately everyone will have to make their own decision on their attitude to the risk of potentially losing ££ if the worst happens.
I don’t believe for a moment that the sales were pulled at 1830 on Thursday the day before release due to “ongoing technological improvements”…..
Personally, obviously I want to renew (preferably at the early price!) but I’ll leave until the last day of the early price. Do pay on a credit card anyone who can to get “Section 75” protection. If you go with the club’s instalments plan you would likely lose any money you’ve already paid if the worst happens.
Trying to stay positive, but it’s difficult to see this ending well.
As per previous posts, where the f@@k is the 125% in the deposit account? The account the EFL (not unreasonably for once) told the owners to set up to avoid “liquidity” issues. Or did that get used already and not replenished?
The EFL are going to crucify us over this.
Maloney’s body language tonight was not one of a man with plenty of money who’d just been told his wages would be a day late. That said a lot.
The credit insurance market moves incredibly quickly. Every phoenix company, by definition, is deemed high risk until it proves itself otherwise. When the results came out, the credit rating collapsed, so they had to withdraw the ST sales on Thursday, but blamed it on “continued technological improvements”.
We didn’t see the last administration coming. This time the writing is already on the wall.
RIP.
NB the Body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Bamber Bridge FC.
Let’s face it, we’re about Kerry Packered on and off the pitch
It’s strongly rumoured that ST sales were pulled because the credit card companies demanded a massive payment up front due to the high risk of the club folding within the next year (leaving them liable under “Section 75” claims).
After months in Admin, any owner was better than no owner, but seriously, what do we really know about these people? Part of me thinks maybe we should have done a deal with the Devil incarnate (aka Pollard) after all. At least we would know who we’re dealing with.
Never mind, look forward to the game this afternoon. Err, Burnley away, it really couldn’t get any worse.
I need a stiff drink
The goalkeeper one is really annoying. Last couple of minutes with their team winning 1-0, keeper places the ball for goal kick, walks back ready to run up to kick it, then walks (slowly) back to the ball and replaces it on the other side of the 6 yard box…process repeats….
What about making it so once the keeper places the ball down, he has 10 or maybe 15 seconds to take the kick, otherwise it’s play on! That’ll soon stop the nonsense
