http://www.petitiononline.com/mod_perl/sig...?SAVEFTFC&1

If anyone would like to sign it, There but for the grace of god.......

[HelenC]

Canr seem to to open it? Am I the only one doing it?

[Laz]

Ditto.

 

Is this the one where they haven't paid their tax and the taxman now wants his dosh?

[Electric ~soul~]

You lot have got short memories - I haven't forgotten the way they tapped up Lenny Piper.

[Laz]

It is probably that over spending spree that got them into this state.

 

Let them go down a couple of divisions like we would have had too.

[Electric ~soul~]

Attitude is more important than ability. And paying the bills.

[Laz]

I'd forgotten about that.

 

So when do they get wound up then?

[JKiF]

finally! a couple of people talking sense there...

 

laz, ES hat doffed.

It was Graham Westley who left them in the poo when he went to Stevenage taking Farnborough's best players with him. They never recovered after that.

[Laz]

We all know the story, Yellowster, ta.

 

Farnborough were hoovering up all the best players when Mr Westley originally went there.

 

Same story: 'Ornchurch, Canvey, ...

 

Expect to see them in the Ryman/Essex shortly.

[YELLOW]

Add Chelmsford and Grays to that above list.

[Laz]

Chelmsford had Spencer Knight playing for them the other night.

It seems to work ok on the football forum sight still.

Nice bloke. Played for Canvey for a short period but was constantly plagued by injuries. Good to see he's doing well at Chelmo.

Owes me and my mate a pint!!!

[Laz]

Who are you playing this Sunday? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

[YELLOW]

Coach and Horses on Sunday. We have Great Wakering on Saturday. Just the league to concentrate on now we're out of the Trophy and Cup.

 

Good luck against York on Saturday.

Or request to drop a couple of divisons as they might lose one or two extra games like some people do.....

£750 for Lenny Piper, daylight robbery <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

That car park is massive, can't they sell some of it to Barretts?

What good would a petition do anyway?

 

Hello Mr Taxman, about 100 of my mates and a couple of 100 sympathetic real ale drinkers have signed this, can you waive our long outstanding tax bill....

 

In the 2000/01 season I was working, as a result I could afford to attend both games against Farnborough, had I have been unemployed I wouldn't have taken a loan out to see them therefore I would have done without, living within my means....

 

My wages took my club living within it's means to a club that wasn't and I saw us get tonked 4-2 and 4-0, when Farnborough were jumping about they didn't think of me and my club that was being run the right way finances dictated....

 

Because of this, and it nearly happened to us as well, they'll have to regroup in the Hants senior league or something, best of luck from me!

[Laz]

Well said!
