Heads will surely role after this
Its either an attempt at being fraudulent or is just plain arrogance.

You on about the raffle to travel to Hungary pre-season?

It would help if I really knew what you are talking about.
I can, however, say that the downside of signing a player like Ched Evans is that you are opening yourself up to media interest. If you're not whiter than white fading into the background is a better policy.
Looking at the men in charge, how many men of probity do you see? Danny Wilson is pretty much universally trusted. but he's not big enough for the whole club to hide behind him.

Sounded too good to be true. If the raffle had been done in January and properly a lot of people would have entered but to do it a few weeks before pre-season is a bit poor. Club should have come out and admitted it was a disaster instead of making up a winner and saying that the winner was ill and unable to attend and no one else could go in his place.

What a farce !!
Its not very often i criticise the club on hearsay i prefer to wait until it becomes official but i really hope the club clamp down hard on the culprits .it makes us a laughing stock .
I have seen both sides to most of the things that have gone off but there is no excuse for this .

Pooch - I like you! You are a man to be trusted. You can't help your anger. It is genuine and bloody good to hear. I wish the club had a few like you in official positions.
Ched and his mates acting like pricks in a bar in Hungary is bad enough but this makes the club look like a barrel of rotten apples.
There should of course be sackings, and someone high up needs to find a sword to fall on.

This is why fans are staying away and are not renewing there season tickets because we're a farce. What with the PPP, signing Ched Evans and now this. How can we trust the club now with competitions or 50/50 draw or even the Spire lotto?
