I DID NOT post the minutes on here! I put them on the official SSMFL website like I always do. Gavin, no less, picked up the item on Kentish Town and posted it on here in his naive way. I merely then showed the link to the full minutes. Believe me, I could have had a lot more fun with that particular item, in view of all your bullsh*t on here!

And it's NOT the mittoo site, Gavin, it's the official SSMFL site! www.ssmfl.org

 

Horace - Well what was the point of attaching a link to the Management Committee Minutes of 11 January if they were already on the SSML Website for all to see.

I think you are nit picking rhodes. Actually I'm disappointed to see KTFC may be forced to drop out the league as it means we could be cheated your presence at the hat eating ceremony at the Trophy final.

Horace - Isn't this your post then where you attached a link to the Management Committee Minutes of 11 January.

Read my post. That's what I said. But it was on Gavin's thread where he had already drawn everyone's attention to your withdrawal!

[Rhodes]

Lato - You got back from Grosvenor Vale quick, didn't you stay to have a celebratory pint or three or were you on a piece of elastic like in the crunchy nut cornflakes ads.

[Horace]

Rhodes - you are a dodgy bast*rd! You've changed your earlier post entirely. The minutes are in the public domain, not "highly secret" or "royal secret" (when were you ever allowed to see either of those?)

I think it was to point out rhodes, that you've been caught lying again. Seeing as how you denied your 'groundshare' with Hendon was over a full week after the SSML management committee discussed the issue and your possible resignation from the league because of it.

You really should just hold up your hands and say you're in a bit of trouble. You'd get a lot more help and sympathy from people on here if you did. Instead you try to deflect the issue with attacks on other people, and alienate yourself even more. Its a shame as none of like seeing clubs go to the wall, but you're doing a good job of ensuring that we will enjoy it this time.

[Lato]

watch it Spider...think you are taking yourself too serious again.

[Rhodes]

Horace - What are you on about, I was in the process of changing my post when you posted, it was not intentional. Anyway you did attach a link to the Management Committee Minutes and I didn't really see the point of you doing so unless you purposely wanted to bring attention to our groundsharing difficulties, what has Gavin's post got to do with anything.

Spidermanor - An absolutely fascinating post but all Alice in Wonderland stuff I'm afraid with you playing the role of the Mad Hatter. I was trying to save the groundshare with Hendon up until a few days ago and am still hopeful of doing so. With regards to resigning from the league, SSML rule 16 states that 'A Club must notify the Company not later than 31 December each year of its intention to withdraw from the competition at the end of that playing season. Failure to do so will make a Club liable to a fine in accordance with the fines tarif'. I was just covering our back that's all just incase, in the unlikely event, we can't secure Ashburton Grove for next season to mention just one iron we have in the fire.

Potters Bar Town - I did offer to put one in the post to you!

Perhaps Rhodes could explain why he took the training match against Hendon that didn't even merit a mention on our website so seriously, or why he's been claiming that KTFC are groundsharing with Hendon when there was only an agreement that Hendon would help them out as and when they could.

Thank you for illustrating my post so wonderfully rhodes.

SteveR - are you saying that there was never actually a "groundshare" arrangement in the first place? Wonder what the powers that be at the SSML would make of that? If it's true, surely that's got to be classed as obtaining their League place by deception?

Although nobody with a football brain expects Kentish Town to last the pace at the top of SSML Div 1, stranger things have happened in football in the past and, even though they are now extremely unlikely to be allowed promotion, if they were to end up denying another team the chance to go up when they shouldn't even have been in the division in the first place then all hell will break loose. Imagine if it was Hoddesdon that they shaded out of a right to promotion. Roger Merton would do his nut! I'm sure several other potentially affected clubs would be considering their legal options too.

Oh dear, Rhodes. If only you'd been honest with people from the beginning. Perhaps you should have spent less time worrying about groundshares from before your time that you don't actually know anything about and more time ensuring the legality of existing arrangements. And remember, Rhodes....

Certainly that is my understanding PBTFC. However, there are no guarantees that my understanding is correct. However, as I've said elsewhere, I was asked by the club (I just run the website, I'm not a club official) to say that we would be helping KTFC as and when we could. That suggests to me that there isn't/wasn't (delete as applicable) a formal groundshare agreement.

Gavin, no less, picked up the item on Kentish Town and posted it on here in his naive way.

 

.

Horace I started this thread because I was concerned to hear that Kentish Town will have to play their remaining 'home' fixtures away. It had nothing to do with the 'groundshare' at Hendon, I dont know the ins and outs of the deal so I would not comment. The only comments I made were before the season started and Rhodes compared Claremeont road to Old Trafford of the SSML div 1. Having been to most of the grounds in the SSML Prem to date, I know what he means, its at least enclosed and does not have cows grasing behind a goal (open to debate LOL) though picturesque, most ground in the SSML are very open, and have no real stands.

 

Rhodses does a good job for Kentish Town, I dont want to get into the the politics of other things, I am going by the programme and website, and he has done a lot for the club it seems.

 

 

Horace I dont know why you say I am naive, but thats one thing I have not been called.

 

 

Rhodes...any chance I can have a Kentish Town pin badge LOL

Our groundsman Colin Hiskey has done a great job in getting the pitch looking so good. With three teams plus local clubs playing matches on our pitch he has his work cut out to keep it looking so good.

Gavin, don't worry about it. Such large scale deceit could not be swept under the carpet forever, even by a master bullshitter such as Rhodes. If you hadn't inadvertantly uncovered the truth now, somebody else would have done so eventually. It's best that it comes into the open sooner rather than later so that other SSML Div 1 sides affected by such abhorrent behaviour can consider the appropriate actions to take.

Gavin, your actions have performed good service for a number of people who are all working hard at their own respective clubs and for all those who like to see fair play at grass roots level. Well done!
