Ban Boddy from SGL - along with Lancaster and co. Tell the WN the club are doing it. The Conference might throw a wobbly if he reports it - but would he? Would he want them looking in to the mess he's caused?
Even if they did and made the club admit him it would shake him up a bit and get the story out there again. What is there to lose?
The thought of him sitting at SGL moaning about the board's activities is sickening. It's time to attack the half-wits that have created this catastrophe.

Dont think its possible else it would of been done a long time ago ! None of the others have shown their faces since they left ! |

It seems like the club are the only ones playing by the rules.

Of course its possible, the club can ban whoever it likes from entering, regardless of their position within the Conference, and if the Conference ask questions, well give them the answers!!

Why on earth would you want to drag this subject up again ealing ?
I was talking to Dave at the Hereford match, the subject of "the past" didn't come into our conversation. We were both there to watch a game of football, and as you well know Dave is a really nice guy. What happened was not all down to him, he was the Chair of the club not an autonomous manager !
And verner YOU ARE WRONG many of the board from that era are regulars at "the lane"

I only ever see Tony Partridge and Boddy.
I'm sure that Lancaster, Prescott, Laurie Brown and Dr Sorenson have not set foot inside the lane for a while.

"Why on earth would you want to drag this subject up again ealing ?" Because his attendance is offensive to many fans.
"as you well know Dave is a really nice guy" Really? He's a lying devious little sh!t in my eyes.
"What happened was not all down to him," but he signed the club in to oblivion. Did he just do what he was told?
"he was the Chair of the club not an autonomous manager" well who was he listening to? Not the fans; not the Trust; not the shareholders. He was a puppet.
The man's a disgrace.

I can vouch for the fact that Brian Lancaster is a regular at home games, and I've seen The Doc and Laurie Brown too.

Must be the fact that I ignore their presence or maybe its because they are not wearing their badged suits !! Either way this club has bigger things to worry about over the next 12 months to two years than these people being there ! |

Absoutely, that's the point I'm making, dragging up the past is not going to help us move forward AND may even put some people off helping in that aim !!

Whilst I have to agree that the Verner is correct in that the club has more to worry about, I have to say that I for one find their attendance repugnant . There will no forgiving or forgetting in my little corner of the world!

The point in banning the old board is to give a clear message to supporters; possible investors and the City in general that the club HAS moved on. Why would having Boddy hanging around encourage anyone to help the club? It would have the opposite effect!
Many people in Worcester have no idea the Boddy era at the club is over - including the idiot himself. A ban would be a clear sign that things have changed - and that WCFC is moving forward, not stuck in some nightmare past.

Ealing is right, the future of WCFC does not include any of those who have destroyed the old club, the club we all loved. If the old Board had stayed on, I can well imagine that they would have had pleasure in banning the troublemakers from SGL. Some were told they would not be welcome anyway!
Their presence is more of a constant reminder of the past than Ealing's wishes to ban them.
If Boddy is such a nice guy, why can't he see that the decent and honourable thing to do is to move away from WCFC altogether. That's what a nice guy would do. Maybe he can back to the team he loves, Pershore Town! or is it Upton Town? Remember this is the man who's ambition once was to make Worcester City the second biggest team in Worcester!!

Boddy said in the shareholders meeting at SGL when the ground was sold that the project would be managed on an "open book" basis! I have a recording of that meeting, and he said it very clearly.
OK, so how about seeing the books of the project to date? Open book applies to the general public, not just shareholders, so how about publishing the costs of the project to date? The financial details of the sale of SGL, the financial details of the purchase of Nunnery Way, and the financial details of the building of a new stadium? Nobody has a clue about these costs, and maybe its time the Board started showing transparency here.

A very good idea Jem. But do the current board have access to the details and finances of both land deals? How much of the information has been passed on? If the current board are in the dark over such details, how can they be expected to act in the best interests of the club?
Perhaps the details are stuffed in a drawer in Brian Lancaster's sideboard - amongst all the club's receipts that he stashed away, and never presented as accounts to shareholders?

See Mr Boddy has just been given a brand New BMW and a pay rise to 50k a year at Newport
Feet firmly under their table
Good luck to them!

Oh Lord won't you buy me,
A Mercedes Benz,
My friends all drive Porches,
I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime,
Though Worcester thought I was shoddy,
But I got me a car now,
And my name is Dave Boddy.

I don't blame him for the club having no money but what I DO blame him for is the club having NO HOME and very possibly, if the excellent efforts of some people fail which unfortunately could happen, NO FUTURE.

Bring back capital punishment or lynching or perhaps burning at the stake for Dave Boddy....
OR perhaps we should remember there were more than one member of the board at that time.
Ok he was the chairman BUT he could not act without the sanction of the rest of the board.
MASSIVE mistakes were made, but surely this guy cannot be held totally responsible for it.
Those of you that know more than others will know that Dave lost his family because of his dedication to the job.
Time to move on, no matter how hard that's going to be.
I for one would like to congratulate Dave on his new job & wish him a successful career at Newport.
Oh, & I hope all of those of you that have never made a mistake in your life continue to carry your halos gleaming !!

Dave lost his family because he was an arrogant fool, who put being a football club chairman above his own family. There have been others who almost lost it all too, but we had the common sense to heed the warnings.
There were more Board members, and Lancaster, Brown, Partridge and Prescott are just as culpable, and should also be banned. Hallmark should not only be banned but should also be investigated. Did he, or his practice, get paid for services whilst he was a Director of the club? Some directors from that time can hold their heads high, Derek Jones, Paul Curtis, Richard Bentley, they are champions, they refused to accept what was going on, and get pilloried for doing so!
Time to move on? Hardly, the actions endorsed by Boddy mean that the club is unable to move on. The club has lost everything, over 100 years of history poured down the drain due to a land deal, which the Board was advised over and over, would destroy the club.
We all make mistakes........apart from Dave Boddy. To this day Boddy still does not admit to doing anything wrong. He's lied and is still lying, and I cannot forgive him for that. I also cannot forgive him for continuing to go to SGL without paying after he had left. That is a pretty disgusting snub, knowing as he did what the plight of the club was. The man has no conscience and no common sense.
I find it quite funny that, after selling his soul, and ripping his reputation to shreds, his reward is a measly 50k a year (the salary of a sales rep, but without the commision!) and the tax burden of a company car!! Says ity all really, if he has got a company car. Who in their right mind would take a company car these days?? Its a poor financial decision!
I wouldnt want Boddy hung drawn or quartered, but I would like him erased from whatever is left of Worcecster City Football Club, after all, he helped erase everything that I loved about the club. Now all we can do is write to the Worcester News about our memories of SGL! Unfortunately my abiding memory now is of a scruffy little man, stood in the Harry Knowles Lounge, surrounded by a bunch of consultants (all called Alan, where are they now??) telling shareholders that a) He had sold the ground for 7.36 million pounds, and b) he couldn't tell shareholders how much the cost of Nunnery Way was because he couldnt trust the shareholders with that information! Shocking. I still listen to the recording of that meeting from time to time.
