Wellsie Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 The club has been made aware of a campaign against the sitting Conservative councillor, Doctor Simon Moores in the run up to today’s local election. While to club continues to dispute the decisions taking by Thanet District Council with regard to the planning application to re-develop Margate Football Club's Hartsdown Park stadium, it does not condone any personal attacks that may have been made on any elected officials. www.margate-fc.com.

Coffin Ender Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I guess this is the kind of thing the club has to be seen to be saying. In reality, Moores has stirred things up on his blog and on here and cannot complain if he gets some criticism. That's the rough and tumble of politics!

psych Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 There's a name from this forums past towards the end of the comments on the blog. Forgotten about the would-be politician who posted rubbish about MFC despite appearing to know nothing about football. Some of the members on here actively encouraged his drivel.

Cookie Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Yes I noticed that "name from the past" Psych. A mini version of S.M. Another (if I wasn't mistaken) looking to seek fame & fortune in the political world. Edited May 5, 2011 by Cookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another (if I wasn't mistaken) looking to seek fame & fortune in the political world. Sorry but I have to say why are we giving any time to this as politics is as we know a way of telling lies that everyone believes and nobody can refute. As stated on his blog a "flyer" whether for or against a party/person/candidate is still a "Flyer" providing it is not defamatory or downright rude ......... whats the problem.

BUFC Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 What people must realise (whoever they are) is that this is an UNOFFICIAL Fans Forum so nothing to do with the club in an official capacity Because of the very good interaction between the club and the Forum, some people might not see it that way Alan.

Coffin Ender Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Absolutely, dannyriding, as long as the content is not libellous, there should be no problem. He comes across as a bit of a cry baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) I personally have no problem whatsoever with this also.I was simply looking for the reason as to what spurred the club to come out with this statement at this time. Having checked Moores blog I can now see the reason why. Edited May 5, 2011 by Cookie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
On_The_Sidelines Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 What people must realise (whoever they are) is that this is an UNOFFICIAL Fans Forum so nothing to do with the club in an official capacity Doesn't work that way, affiated by association, without one there isn't the other. It does MFC's cause damage to have its "fans" posting fliers that probably are libelous given what I've read so far. I'm glad that they are distancing themselves from the campaign against Simon Moores, everyone seems to think that if he says "yes" the development can go ahead and that really isn't the case at all, attacking him just weakens MFC and its fans position as it detracts from what people should be talking about.

Coffin Ender Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) But Simon does that mean David Cameron can be blamed for what appears on a blog written by a Tory councillor in a remote corner of Kent? Edited May 5, 2011 by Coffin Ender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueGate Alan Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Sorry to disagree but this site is not run by MARGATE FC, if it was an official one I am sure some of what has been posted on here would not have been allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afiliated by association pfffffff if by posturing and blah blahing like infantiles at a nursery (see PMs Question Time) then ok we are related but to uphold or give credance to his blatherings be they for / against or just really no-one gives a flying fig what he is all about is wrong. There isnt a "campaign" against Mr mooores from any real MFC supporters and therefore no direct link can/should be made, I dont think anyone on this forum has said "lets bully Cllr Moores" thatll get our stadium built.... nope far from it maybe we have all just had enough of the b0ll0cks thats spouted from these self publicising hoo rah henrys in an aim to get into a position of power in the local council. And what people should be talking about on this forum is the team/tactics/new players and pre-season friendlies but noooo boggin Politics rears its ugly head and we all have to pay attention........................................ pppfffffffff.

Can't answer that... seeing as I'm not Simon and not a politician. @ BlueGate Alan, hence the "" around the word fans... if it wasn't from someone unhappy with the current situation regarding MFC and TDC then I'd be amazed, recent comments here and the timing of them seem to make it appear that the two things are linked. Whether its official/unofficial isn't the issue, if someone libels a person, which as yet has to be proved, then by association it looks bad on the club, hence their distancing themselves from it.

Better talk to the people starting the threads then, or get the moderators to lock possible contentious threads on sight. I'm going to take a step back and I doubtfully will post again, it seems clear to me that this is too polarising an issue to try and be in the middle on so to add weight to all the tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theory nutjobs I'll disappear on voting day, maybe you'll get your new stadium or maybe you won't...
