What a buffoon Why waste our time with this man who is trying to justify his failings by blaming others. Jim Panter's openess on the clubs website shows how bad the situation is at SGL. Hopefully with Dastardly, and now Muttley gone, we can all get behind the club and salvage something for the future.

I note from the Worcester News 29.12.09, that DB travelled with on the team coach to Basingstoke.
Did he pay the £50 fare?

I was told that DB is now the official representative for the club at away matches, so it is very doubtful that he paid or should be expected pay anything. I noticed Tony Partridge there as well. But sadly no current board members.

A tactical withdrawal,if ever there was one! A friend of his told me on Xmas Eve that whilst he has bowed to pressure to resign from the Board,he will to continue to represent the Club at the Conference table as well as at all away matches and other functions.This is principally "because none of the remaining directors have either the knowledge or enthusiasm to do so"! You write the man off at your peril!

The man resigns from the board - for health, family & business reasons - yet can't let go. Dave, you need help.

What is Boddy blathering on about? The credit crunch paid little part in this cock-up - the figures didn't add up before that happened. The great "project" was also 20 years old when it collapsed. Why hadn't it been concluded years ago?
Also we know that the city planners never came close to backing the project - and they told the board that. Bluff and bluster, but like dragon says - he's still lingers on.

Its strange neither Worcester City or Boddy have seen fit to inform the fans of Boddy's new role within the Club. Maybe this role was the price to be paid for the resignation.

You get the feeling that Boddy just doesnt know how to seperate truth from lies anymore. Ealing is right, this cock-up predates the credit crunch by many years. The attack on the City Council in relation to both SGL and Nunnery Way is totally unwarranted. He says the City Council sat with the club and said in principle the application was ok, then they rejected it? Rubbish! The city council advised the applicants on many occasions dating back to at least Feb 2008 of their concerns over the plans, yet the applicants chose not to do anything about them!! Check the letter attached, in particular the conclusions. The city council has probably gone past their remit of impatiability in helping the football club move grounds, more so than most private businesses would get. They cannot be held responsible for the applicants not taking advice, or presenting grandiose schemes based on previous failed applications (with enabling development as the core) I think Boddy is probably far more suited to this kind of junior role, as a club representative rather than a board member, I just hope he doesn't interfere with the wrok done by George and the management team in any footballing matters. Its ironic really that the club is now beginning to take on the structure proposed by the original supporters trust in a set of meetings with Boddy and Bob Marley way back in 2005!! Bob was keen and started things moving in inimitable Marley style. Boddy paid lip service to us "troublemakers" I am seriously considering how I can be involved in this brave new world for the football club. There is however a problem, if I am, then Andy Bullock will need to find a new club to support, he is I know a decent man of his word. That is a dilemma - Andy?? Attachments:

Or we could all forget the past for the good of the club Jem. Perhaps an invite rather than a challenge to Andy would be a much better idea.

I know your hearts in the right place Jem, but if I were Andy, I would not have taken this as an invite.
Anyway, have you decided what you can do for the good of the club yet ? I'm sure Hampo would welcome someone of your knowledge & talent on to the board. Perhaps putting all of your energy into investigating the legalities of "the sale", rather than the personalities who effected it may be a good task you'd enjoy.
By the way for those of you like skippy who don't know my real thoughts, this is a serious suggestion for Jem to consider.

That's what he and others have been doing for years.

jimbo, if you think I am going to waste my time looking into the legalities of something that hasnt happened (and for what purpose??) then you must be mad!
I will tell you and anyone else now, I have no incination of EVER being on the board of this company - sorry but its nothing to do with personalities or people. Its down to two totally obvious reasons. 1. You don't have to sit on the board (and remember the board do not own the football club) to be able to utilise whatever knowledge and talent you have to give the club. Jeez, thats what the whole purpose of a Supporters Trust is for, Lancaster was a fool when he said "they'll never sit on the board" of me and Andy after our presentation to them - he totally missed the point, as it seems you have. 2. No-one in their right mind would want to take the liabilities of a Director of this company at the present time and in thepresent financial difficulties. No thanks, I'll pass on that one!
Oh, and jimbo, you're not Andy Bullock, I think he can figure out the something that ends in a question mark is a question, and a very open question at that.
I think I'll avoid so called "serious suggestions" from you jimbo.

sorry to be the voice of doom but what has actually changed for the good at wcfc?
Hallmark's gone - has he? does he really have no influence at all any longer? (I doubt it) Boddy's gone? has he? NO! he has resigned as director only to meddle in other ways as I have said previously the club needs to be seen to be on its knees in order for the community to sit up and take notice and tactical resignations just smack of attempted manipulation.
For a while I was taken in by the smoke and bluster but in reality nothing has changed. Shamed Boddy will still be lingering around the place along with the other free loading ex directors and frankly I dont want to go anywhere near these people.
So the money I put aside for my intended half season ticket will go on another good cause.
RIP WCFC

As a Director WCFC I have both the knowledge and enthusiasm and I have attended a lot of the away games this season but as failed to go to the last few due to illness but will soon be back in the swing,I for one have write of the man when we brought George Rooney back to advice on football.

totally agree Mr Birdfeeder, I hope that you and your fellow Directors who have the good of the football club at heart keep that pesky young Boddy well in his place. He sounds like a right troublemaker to me, but at least he's in a small minority.....of one!

I can see where Skippy is coming from but in my opinion we have to do something similar to what happened in South Africa. Draw a line and start afresh.
I will now start helping the club to try and dig itself out of the huge hole it finds itself in. I may find myself having to work with people who I have been campaigning to remove from the board, which I will not find easy but will do for the sake of the football club I love, and I will get on with it as jovially as I can, but these people will never get my respect and I will never forgive them for what they have done to my club and it's supporters.
For me the important thing is that these people do not run the club any more and are now bit part players. I can live with that and will get on with helping the board as best I can with my limited time available. I just hope it's not too late.

All that needs to be agreed is just where the line is drawn and what constitutes a fresh start, or for South Africa you could be reading Zimbabwe

I think we've had more of a Soviet Union for the last 6 years!
Its time to crack open the constitution, as every football club needs money, serious money, more than a few tombolas can raise. Time to take the risk and allow an investor, or a consortium of investors to be allowed to put a 7 figure sum into the club, now if that consortium could include the Supporters Trust, we could be looking at the next AFC Wimbledon.

Hallmark and Boddy off the Board - good start to the New Year.
I wonder if it is a case of rats deserting a sinking ship ie resigning in good time before the Club enters administration and thus not be able to be held accountable for the debacle? In truth the Club would have cash (but no ground) if all the assets were liquidated and debts paid off. In that scenario there will probably be few questions as to the conduct of past Directors.
Moving forward it will be interesting to see if the lost tribe of the Brookside will return in any strength? Some like jcp will have found alternative pleasures on a Saturday afternoon - others will remain less than motivated given the way the Club has been run in recent times.
I think I will give it a go - probably the Trophy tie - and look forward to getting behind the team on the pitch again.

Those now in charge would find it relatively easy to prove that they tried to do things properly in order to turn the ship around. However I would be worried if I was part of the Boddy administration and the club went tits up.

But sadly no current board members. Just to put the record straight Dave Boddy is not the official representative of WCFC at away games if we need one and there were no board members present that job would go to the Football Sectary.

This reminds me of Jack Warner - the actor who played Sergeant Dixon in the BBC's Dixon of Dock Green for decades. After he retired he could be seen wandering around Shepherd's Bush dressed as a policeman. Sad and deluded.
