Ooh do tell Tony, whose was it then?

I'm guessing it was robbed from the former occupants - so whose prose was it?

Your original wording? 
My original wording?
Someone else?

No - it was regarding a music festival, so not something you or I got involved with.

When I first saw a posting from him that was error-free I thought it might have been HT's influence, which is why I googled it.

I see those that are running the club have told the fans who are out of pocket that they are on their own, and they need to try to get the Poppes Trust to sort things out for them - despite the fact these products were marketed on what is described as the Official KTFC facebook site - a fact they never challenged, and used to their advantage when it suited.

To be fair, their Trust have now admitted they have been let down by the supplier, having sent them the full money in advance, but are willing to reimburse the Poppies fans out of Trust funds. It does however make you wonder how well they will deal with other business challenges / relationships if they get taken in by a small-fry trader.

Oh my god, that's so embarrassing! I didn't realise it was so difficult to write a couple of sentences describing an event you're (note the correct version ;) ) organising and promoting. :lol:

Haven't they already suffered/ voted for a bigger one than that, and they seem quite happy with it ?

Seems the scums retro shirt idea has gone tits up (at least for the time being) from what I can make out over all the arguments there was never any shirts... apparently the poster "Digidecor" has repeatedly lied to them.
You couldn't make this up!!! You'd think they'd deal with a reputable company, rather than some unknown company, that they appear to have trusted.

Their transfer embargo has now been lifted and John Beck is expecting a hundred trialists and Nene park over the weekend.
Is there really that many players that are desperate.

Interesting to see they have a friendly announced against Southend Manor, after they failed to pay them their share of the gate receipts for several months after their FA Cup tie last season.

I imagine Manor see it as their duty to help a smaller club out.
