Does that mean unless I agree with you I'm not allowed to voice my opinion?Doom Patrol wrote: ↑Sat Feb 03, 2018 11:24 pm Yes, and this is how it goes. LCGB men through and through insinuating that someone elses motives are illegal and purely financial. The party line.
Your entitled to your opinion as much as I am. I’m an early member of BLOA since Gavin Franklin promoted the club. I’ve never met him or spoken with him but through my business like to think i’m a good judge of character. Everything I have seen him do so far is from a guy with integrity and not someone trying to make a quick buck. I’ve never been involved in organising a rally so I don’t know if ones lucky to break even or make a killing. Perhaps someone can enlighten me. If there was a NOT very private conversation with Kev Walsh the reason might be, faced with the might of the LCGB £200k coffers against an individual in court, a good enough reason to ask the question. It doesn't prove anything as you suggested. To refer to all members as mugs is simply quite disrespectful. If i’m proved to be wrong I will happily apologise and hope you will do the same.Nic wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2018 12:07 am As for financial gain, if Kev Walsh's admission to hundreds of people at the AGM that he has had private discussions with Gavin Frankland about Gavin "selling" us back the BLOA name are true, then there's your proof. Anyone who was mug enough to believe that this was somehow a disinterested gesture on Gavin's part, aimed at resurrecting a historic name, well, you've been taken for a ride. If the price is right - for Gavin Frankland - he'll happily ditch you just as easily as he roped you in.
i agree with you Tim it appears there has been a discussion between Kev and Gav but only those 2 know exactly what was discussed between them.If Gav has been offered a sum by Kev albeit without the LCGB approval it appears by what Gav is still doing and going ahead with he would of declined it.So as someone has clearly stated here that Gav would sell out in making such a statement he should really back this up with clear evidence that Gav would accept it if not that statement should be withdrawn tbh.Timbo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2018 11:08 amYour entitled to your opinion as much as I am.
