Eastside Urchin Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Just had a call from Alan Alger at Blue Square. He's not happy with the statement and they will be issuing another one later. Can someone please post this to the relevant thread on the forum, which I can't access from my phone? Suggest we don't comment until we see the proper statement.

Eastside Urchin Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 Latest statement And here's the new one. Please lost on forum. Personal message from Alan Alger Dear All, An official statement has now gone out on behalf of our new owners and the Rank Group parent company. As affiliates of the Blue Square Bet business you may have already received an earlier e-mail terminating a partnership agreement this morning. Unfortunately this was dealt with by a separate side of our company and did not contain the tone that I would have wished as it was a standard e-mail to expired partners all over Europe. I would like to take the opportunity to apologise for the tone of that e-mail, but also confirm that affiliate accounts will now cease to operate. But don’t worry - any funds you have accumulated up to midnight last night will still be paid to your clubs. On a separate note I’d like to thank all of you for the support you have given me personally and Blue Square Bet as a business while we have been sponsors of the Football Conference. I have met some fantastic people along the way this past six seasons and have seen some excellent football played throughout the three divisions. It has been a real privilege to carry out my role. As the official statement says – the league names will remain the same for the remainder of the season. I will also be on hand to carry out my role as normal. Which includes monthly awards etc. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
