Wot no Mike Yardy's tweet thread?

[Brian Fantana]

Perhaps he should try a game at the Amex to sample the atmosphere. Mind you he would probably leave at half time as he couldn't handle it.

I believe he was at the Palace game in the WSU.

Whether people think people are being thin skinned or not it was idiotic from someone in his position.

This.

It is a dig at his SCCC mates (Nash? Wright?) who are now "Albion fans" with 1901 STs ...

Completely harmless banter. The only touchiness results from the grain of truth in the JCL/plastic accusations... we now UNDOUBTEDLY have something like 5-10K "fans" who would disappear as quickly as they arrived should we fall on harder times...

Was in ESU, saw him at half time with his daughter

From my very reliable source I can confirm that this is a fake account. Mike doesn't have a twitter account.

He was at Battle CC on Saturday as part of the NatWest cricket aid to clubs, others were at Hailsham CC and Barcombe CC, and Sussex CCC tweeted to him on the same account name.

Definately fake.

 

[Mackenzie]

Definately fake.

Glad to hear it.

 

[HAILSHAM SEAGULL]

Definately fake.

Then go on Lewis Hatchett@lewis_hatchett and check outhis tweet from Yesterday morning

At BattleCCtoday for Natwest Cricket Force with @Themooster20lLuke_wells07@ammykhan1980#Painters and Decorators
retweeted by SussexCCC

Dosn't sound fake

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Luke Wright was also tweeting him with the hammers score and suggested his boys were 4-0 down to man city.

sorry to disappoint Mr Yardy's apologists but it is a genuine account - imbecilic in respect to this post but genuinely so

This.

I know that I am as thick as two short planks with regard to computers and terms used with them but can somebody please tell me what on earth THIS means? Thank you

perhaps rather than delete the tweet and brief others to try to cover his tracks he could try apologising for his insulting "misjudgement" bearing in mind that even IF your maths is right it still leaves Albion considerably better supported than Mr Yardy's employers.

If that is his opinion why not let him express his views.

It's not going to make me support the Albion or Sussex any less regardless of a tweet from a player, his views are his own, they don't represent the club (SCCC).

Self explanatory surely? As in "I agree with this"

 

[Black Rod]

Hasn't he got a point? You don't go from an average of 6000 to an average of 25000 overnight without picking up a load of prawn sandwich brigade and fans of other clubs.

I really don't know why people get so worked up by it - particularly as they are mainly the same people who will say that every single person who goes to The Amex is a Brighton fan and will ultimately look very silly if/when we start struggling a bit more and attendances do drop off.

Oh he's definitely entitled to. Just as Albion fans might feel entitled to think he's very silly to be snippy towards a large group of people, who might feel less well disposed towards Sussex CCC as a result (or who already pay his wages!). Which would make it a very silly thing to say IMHO.

No biggie but just a bit silly given his position.

Always thought his Frank Spencer impression was overrated anyway.
