Potters Bar Town - I'm not glued to this site 24/7 infact this is the first time I've been on here today since about 04.00 this morning. When I'm home I obviously check it on a regular basis to see what silliness you are posting about me and if I'm not too busy during the day at work I normally log on but I don't call that 24/7 infact I can take it or leave it and once I get that £50 from Horace I will disappear from view for a week.

That wasn't the deal - £25, and money to be paid to a Camden CHARITY (not KTFC) AFTER you have stayed away for a week, I think you know that you won't be able to do it, so are changing the goal posts.

[Rhodes]

No I said to Horace if it's £50 he has a deal, he offered £25 and NeutralFan volunteered £10 so another £15 is still required, how about Potters Bar Town or Lato stumping up the rest. Also I want to see the colour of the money first as how do I know I will receive it after staying away for a week. I'm going to propose giving the money to the Lee Scott fund if everyone is in agreement, he is certainly a Charity case.

[HTFCew]

£50 wasn't the offer. NF volunteered £15 toward the £25.

 

Just think Rhodes, a child may go hungry this Christmas if you don't do this.

 

I will be the stakeholder - It's pointless the money going to you if it has to come straight back again.

[Rhodes]

Well I don't know, I'm sure Horace agreed on £50.

You know full well that I did not! You came back with a demand for £50 in advance and I repeated the original offer of £25 to a Camden charity AFTER ther event. Check the thread.

[Rhodes]

Which thread was it again, can you remember.

It's on the website now (8.30). how many clubs can say that?

[Rhodes]

Fair play, Haringey Borough can't that's for sure, well when they play that is.

The following article appears in Non-League today entitled 'Stampede for Step 4 Places', hopefully it will tempt Mr Kempster back to banter again as I still can't believe he came on to pass the time of day with us unless it was an imposter of course:

A stampede of Club's seeking a place in the FA's Step 4 set up next season has surprised Soho Square. Inspired by the success of the Southern half of the Pyramid at Step 4 this season, a total of 74 Club's applied for promotion from Step 5 to the planned six division higher tier next season before the deadline of 30 November. A month earlier the FA had received only 23 applications. The number of applications is seen as a boost to the controversial plan to set up a sixth Step 4 division to cover the North Midlands by splitting the existing Unibond Division One into geographical areas. A delighted Unibond Chief Executive Duncan Bayley said 'it may yet be possible to create two Unibond Step 4 divisions of at least 20 Club's rather than the minimum of 18 as decided by the FA Leagues Committee last month'. There were fears that there would be sufficient Club's from the Unibond Step 5 feeders to make up numbers for the new division - a minimum of 12 extra Club's were needed. The Northernmost Club's in the BGB Southern League Division One Midlands said they would resist attempts to force them to move to the Unibond and were backed by their League's directors. To get the new division off the ground the Leagues Committee has said it will take three applicant Club's from each of the main Unibond feeders, the Northern Counties East, North West Counties and Northern League's, regardless of where they finish, provided they meet ground grading requirements. Now a fresh boost to the plan has come from the Midland Alliance, which can feed into either the Unibond or Southern Leagues. Out of the nine Alliance applicants four - Rochester, Barwell, Quorn and Coalville Town - fall in the area to be covered by the new Unibond division. Bayley maintains the FA should still consider taking Club's from the West Midlands if needed to make up the new division and go for 20 Club's rather than 18. He said 'what people do not realise is that Club's are not promoted to a particular league but to a higher level. They are then allocated to their nearest league and Club's on the boundaries may be then moved sideways into another to make the numbers level. The new division will cover the Midlands and no team will have to travel further than Manchester'. Among the applicants are three Club's from the Northern League three former Southern League sides who have reformed and worked their way back up from grass roots levels, Leamington, Atherstone Town and Wellingborough Town. One of the biggest attractions for the Unibond lower divisions will be the presence of FC United of Manchester who have recorded the second highest gates in non league football. The aim of restructurung is to cut travelling time and costs while creating more local derby games. The FA's next step will be to cut the existing 14 Step 5 feeders to 12 to make promotion to, and relegation from, the new Step 4 tier automatic, eliminating the need for playoffs.

Why do you say such stupid things so unnecessarily?

[Rhodes]

So you are alive and well then, ignore my earlier post. Well weren't you honoured to have the legendary another on here bantering with us, I certainly was, have you ever met him.

What's that got to do with you questioning whether it was an imposter?

[Rhodes]

Well it could have been an imposter couldn't it, I have never felt entirely comfortable on here since that terrible BewareofRhodents episode and nothing would surprise me. It's not every day people of another's cal-ibre come on to banter with us, that's the point I'm trying to get across.

What calibre is that, then?

[Rhodes]

Well doesn't that go without saying. Tony has also got his finger in a number of high profile pies outside of the beautiful game and is Treasurer of the Haxby Memorial Hall Trust up in York, we are not just talking about a run of the mill individual here as you seem to be suggesting.

[Football Man]

I wasn't suggesting anything. Just trying to understand your criteria for "calibre" that means you set Tony higher than anybody else that uses this forum.

[Rhodes]

Well obviously, don't you.
