Thank you I shall be speaking to him shortly but having read it myself it looks like 1 post saying he doubted that the question would be asked, hardly hijacking a thread.

He said it won't be asked because it falls into the category of questions the club won't want to answer.

1. Why wouldn't the club answer a question about its structure and hierarchy?

2. Even if they didn't want to answer it (and I would have no idea why - though evidently Brian does), what makes him think we wouldn't ask it?

In which case, you could ask him 'why did he post that...?'

I will do but he may chose to answer it himself tomorrow, if he comes back on here as I know he has got the hump with the unfair criticism he gets on here and his family have all told him not to go on NSC as he doesnt need the hassle at his age.

Bollocks, the criticism is perfectly fair. BG (and whoever you are) are just the latest in a long line of people to decide they are special and that the abuse they are getting is special when in reality it doesn't fall outside of the normal level of background abuse nearly everyone recieves. You have any idea how many times I've been banned on here?

You actively look for opportunities to make an unpopular comment to get a reaction whereas BG has a band of merry men following him around waiting to quote him and troll him. There is the difference.

Does he? Does he really? Do you honestly believe that? Blimey.

I think if you look at his posts, you'll find the same names appearing pretty much straight after him.

I'm not condoning what he's said, that isn't the point. I was more responding to "Flying High" saying that BG has been advised to stay off here as he doesn't need the hassle, and frankly, I think that's the wisest thing that's been said on the matter since it kicked off with that bizarre thread whenever it was.

We've spent ages trying to get up listener figures up...

One of the few times we've done a phone-in (or rather a phone-out) was to have BG on. It was at the start of the 2008/09 season (and one of the first shows I was on), and we asked him what he thought of our squad recruitment during the summer. He spent the next five minutes or so moaning and berating the club for the lack of quality we'd acquired, saying we really needed this player and that player, and was very concerned as to how it was going, and how the season would go. We then asked him what position he thought we'd finish.

"Third", he said.

Sadly, we don't have the recording any more.

I've just caught up with the latest podcast and thought it was a great interview with Paul Beirne. For all of the corporate vs non corporate views it sounds to me like the people we're recruiting are going to push the commerical side forward.

No he doesn't. No more than I do.

I would think the reason for that is that I dont think that it ever existed. To the best of my memory and recollection I have never given an interview or opinion to Reverb either in their studio, wherever that is, or out at a game. My memory may be failing me and I may have done so without realising it was being recorded. Assuming that TLO is correct after saying about the signings in the summer I certainly wouldnt have suggested that we would finish 3rd I may have possibly suggested with the signings I allegedly suggested we could. finish 3rd. Not having the details at my finger tips I checked with wiki and we certainly signed some dross during that summer and actually finished 16th

Perhaps TLO would like to jog my memory about this so called recording recording.

As far as I can remember my only contact with that station was to ask how to down load their program which I did and didnt like it so have never listened or downloaded it since .

I just have jogged your memory. And face it - your memory is not your most reliable asset. Nor is your memory.

As I stated at the top of that post, you were on a phone-out.

To the best of my recollection I have never been on a phone out from Reverb: from Radio Sussex with Harty many times but not Reverb. I remember having a discussion with you walking from Wivlesfield station to a pre season friendly at Burgess Hill around about that time, or perhaps a season or so later, but no other conversation around that time.

I think that it is best to just forget it as I have no wish to listen to that station, once was enough for me.

The one or it may have been two programs I downloaded gave the impression that you, not you personally but the station, want to keep on the right side of the club so wouldnt ask any question that could be classed as being controversial or put them in a spot as opposed to the pressure that Harty put on people like DK when he interviewed them for Radio Sussex. As it happened, so it has been reported, you did ask the question and PB did answer it so no problem, you, the club and the listeners are all happy. A successful interview
