Well, the only thing I can conclude is that, regardless of the rights and wrongs, I don't like either side particularly. Nobody is going to win.

Seems a two way conversation isn't something that some people comprehend.
Surely if something was said that wasn't correct there is the opportunity here to reply to correct it? If I said something so outrageous that they felt the topic should be shut down I would like to know what that was as I've only commented on what i believe to be true based on my experiences. If I am wrong in something I have said I would appreciate it if they would educate me on those points rather than them just try to shut down conversations with no explanation as to why.

Everyone including me needs more info from both sides to make a final decision where they stand.... Open discussion is the only way that can happen. Being preached too from one side while the other side is being shouted down isn't helping anyone.
TBH the fact LCGB want that other topic locked just reinforces my dim view of them :( However its not yet known if the request was made by a single person who is on the committee or by a person on behalf of the committee.

Can we clear that up at least?
I agree, open discussion is good but the subject being discussed is the rights or wrongs of Gavin Frankland obtaining or attempting to obtain the rights to the BLOA name and or images. The make up of the LCGB committee or anyone's opinion of them has nothing to do with the debate at all and only stirs up resentment and muddies the issue imho.

I also agree, but the attempt to discredit GF which was clearly orchestrated by members of the LCGB and possibly with the committees blessing was nothing short of shameful.

I haven't seen this attempt to discredit, unless I simply dismissed it as nonsense of course.
On the other hand I haven't seen anyone accuse anyone of being 'a filthy paedo & a racist' on here yet either -so look on the bright side eh?

Tim, you are talking out of your arse again and arguing just for the sake of it. The LCGB have done nothing wrong here, they are just defending what any reasonable person would regard as theft of the clubs heritage (legal or not). GF's history and character are central to the argument, the LCGB committee isn't.

Do you have any evidence that we are operating under LCGB committee direction? .....no I didn't think so :roll:
I only now two of them and only spoke briefly to one of them at the AGM. My opinion was influenced by what I heard at the AGM by speaking to other members in the bar afterwards and by what I have read on here and other social media sites. I have not heard one single word from the various Gavins or his band of brothers that would come even close to changing my view.

Because a chancer like Gavin Frankland tried to steal part of our Club's history and was backed by people like you. Simples.
