Im fucking lost now like. What was supposed to happen today? is that happening tomorrow? or the day after? Has Geri Halliwell bought the club? Seriously though, did I read somewhere that Redheugh was stating a press release would take place today at 9pm? which so fucking obviously didnt happen. Is he now saying that it will some other day unless something happens to stop it? Like I say, he could prove his credentials by simply stating how much involvement the NUST has had with his company, that way would be so easy and would convince me.

I take it you were shite at hide n seek as a kid. The NUST are going to be on a phone in, now where could I find the details of what the NUST are doing? where could possibly hold such information on the NUST and the things the NUST are doing? how about looking on nust.org.uk? if you did then you'd see that we'd twittered it > http://www.loober.com/toon.htm

Seemingly the post mortem has found dried fruit up his bum. Police think he may have been date raped

I think something that hasnt been made very clear is that this no longer involves Roberts or Speedie, Roberts especially made the whole thing smack of a dodgy dealing. Since those days its been improved, amended and fully checked out by qualified Financial Advisors. Sorry Pud, didn't mean any harm about it, since the story about Roberts and his fans consortium being interested in the club I've always thought it was a dodgy proposition. Misinformed. It wasnt aimed at you or anyone outside the committee, we ourselves havent made it clear to people that this isnt the original proposition or all of the original people involved. Certain individuals were anything but a good advert for it. To be clear though, the product is the same along with a few tweaks and some additional options for purchasing a stake.

and then 14, 18, 24...........................

And as equally apathetic about his "going in" too.

Isnt the nightclub they film in down the Quayside, Bar 52? or 51 or maybe 362? anyways its a number and I think its 52.

It's at the top end nearer the bowling alley than the bike shops. On the left hand side ad you head down to town, just after the school I think

There was a wee singer called gately, who has'nt been singing much lately, after a bottle of rum and a cock up his bum, his trip to the sun ended fatally.

All along? what about the numerous "Im creaming myself because Redheaugh says Americans are buying the club" posts?

Toon Away are the company to try and Ugly Makems the man to contact.

The vote was via email, an email was issued to all members with a link to give their answer. I cant remember the exact numbers but we had way less than 2000 members at the time of the vote, a lot of members have come on board since then.

The NUISA does not exist anymore and hasnt done for a while however a number of news agencies had Franks number and contacted him regularly for thoughts etc, Im sure Frank wont mind me pointing out that hes a supporter and member of the Trust. Theres a number of ways to contact the Trust, either unofficially via the likes of a PM to me or Tom-NUFC on here or via the website or email addresses that can be found there.

Totally and utterly wrong though. At the point where we realised protests were not doing any good we had around 250 - 300 members. Since then we've increased that ten fold. 90% of our members are since the days of protest. That doesnt mean that 90% of the members dont want protest or for that matter that 10% do, it does however show that when you quote these "most of the members joined to protest" then its an incorrect quote.

All the best, looking like it could get out to be a canny day if the fog lifts.

It was a glitch in the payment matrix yes, see I was too busy trying to find some figures that I forgot to pay the bill.

Personally I think you have your knickers in a twist. Apart from one jokey comment I have simply asked one very basic question. Other people have chosen to discuss the ins and outs of it. I have implied nothing. My views that I think NUST have become obsessed with this pension / buy the club campaign are clear. I am also dissapointed that more is not being done to encourage Ashley to leave. It seems to me therefore straightforward to as how many of the 2000 plus voted to go down this road. If it was 1001 then that is fine. If it was based on a show of 50 hands at a roadshow then that's a different matter. You are quite aware that others are raisining similar concerns. It would be a shame for the interim committee to ignore these issue as they may end up with a very poor response when renewal fees are requested. The committee arent ignoring anything, I told you 4 pages back. If you want something answering then do it in the correct place. As it is, I'll give you the answer here. Seems I was a tad out when I said 99.8% earlier on, being optimistic I was. The result of the poll was: 325 votes for 7 votes against which gives a majority of 97.89% Im sure you'll agree CT that a vote as important as that is one in which everyone should vote, every single member should be having a view and saying their bit otherwise they really cant shout later on if they decide they're not so keen on that idea now can they? How did you vote again?

Late press conference is it redheugh?

I'll go find you the answer but i have to say I'm not comfortable with what you're implying here at all. If you think there's something amiss then I'd recommend taking it straight to therelevant authorities so we can ensure the truth gets properly reported back.

Tell him you're ITK and it'll happen Friday

Early on next year. Of course, when we first formed as NUSC we said the Interim Committee would be in place until June 2009. Since then of course we moved down the route of converting to a trust (which was approved by the vast majority of members). In doing so, of course we've been talking to and taking advice from Supporters Direct. They said that with us changing to Trust status over the summer, the June elections would have to be put back. Once the Trust was in place, they then said there would be a bedding in period (which is where we are at right now) lasting a few months. The timeline that they drew up takes us into the new year, around January/February, before elections would be held. Supporters Direct will assist us in this process to ensure that they meet all of their criteria and rules. What I would say is that although the conversion to the Trust has put the elections back, it also guarantees them. Under the rules drawn up by Supporters Direct, Trusts MUST hold elections. It would be nice if a someone from NUSC / NUST would advise how many of the 2000+ members voted to change to a trust. I have asked on several occasions but to date have not had a reply. Unsure how a seperate body can force NUSC to change its election policy. Could election plans not have been put in place whilst all this was going on? I have a fear that NUSC has gone down a path that unfortunately will have alienated a lot of its members however this will not become apparent until they are either asked to vote or to re-new their membership. You are unsure how the legitimate government backed body that draws up the rules and guidelines for a Supporters Trust can have any influence on the elections? How the organisation that wrote the rules can decide what is done? Give yasel a shake lad, when you convert to a trust you follow their rules and their guidance. Quite rightly, they have seen these things grow from the very first one into what they are today so they are the experts in this. What would be the use of making the move and carrying out 50% of the hard work involved in a Trust conversion and then replacing half of the people involved with totally new people before everything else is completed? What is gained by doing that when you'd either have to spend the next 6 months working alongside the new people ensuring everything was done or would walk away letting them make the mistakes that you've already been through, identified and the like. The whole reason SD give this timeline is to ensure the best chance possible of the Trust establishing itself. It would be madness to do half a job and then forcibly replace those working on it because you decide to have an election 2 weeks after receiving the confirmation of gaining Trust status. At the same time it would me mental to have elections at that time because frankly it would be amazing if anyone other than the current board got elected and that in itself wouldnt be fair. 99.8% of the votes received were in favour of the conversion, if you hold a vote that almost everyone agrees with, then go out and obtain that hugely important (and frankly quite hard to get) postion (in this case Supporters Trust status) then the members are (quite rightly) going to be swayed in your favour by that. What would be gained? you'd have disrupted the work that follows the Trust conversion simply to ratify the same people for the next x years. By giving it a bit time to bed in, members can get used to what exactly a Trust is, can get used to what it means and can see what those currently running it are actually like at doing the job because thats going to be a hell of a lot different to setting it up. Potential candidates then have time to identify what they would do differently, what they see as problems in the current setup and can work on their own ideas and thoughts. Come election time they are in a much better position to put forward their own manifesto and become elected. In seriousness, do you honestly believe that if we'd have had elections 3 months ago the comittee would look any different to what it does now? I dont.

Agreed, he does always come across well in interviews, just seems to act without thinking too often. This is the sad thing. He genuinely is a nice bloke and a proper professional, always chatty and willing to spend huge chunks of his time with the younger players. He just has a bit missing somewhere in the brain which stops the rational thoughts from taking control when needed.

Cant be arsed reading two whole pages of posts to see if its been mentioned but the best one in town is just down from the Empress (or whatever the fuck its called these days). A proper mans barbers, little doorway with the pole outside but when you walk in its like 1955. Old tiles, proper sinks and barbers chairs. Papers to read while waiting and a lollypop at the end if you dont cry. Barbers wearing shirt n waistcoat who hold your coat for you before giving you a cheery goodbye as you head out onto the cold cold streets. They also do all the proper stuff like hot towel shaves and the like but none of this poncy head massage shite
