Wow- what a circus act we have become.

When you read all that together, he caps it all with another appointment that is linked to corruption ( if that earlier post is confirmed)

or these?
August 2017 : Dennis Bingham handed 3 year suspension by FA.
October 2017 : Tommy Wright re-employed by CFC.
March 2016 : CFC accept payment up front from Royal Pearl for 2 seasons' sponsorship.

I'm still working on the exact date of the AGM when
1.Carson said in answer to a question about possible money laundering that the Roya Pearl money (believed to be at least 5 figures) was vetting by CFC's bank.
2. Some shareholders refused to approve the accounts.

and

the exact date that the heroic whistleblower made allegations to Bob's Board researchers about wrong doing at the Development School, all of which have subsequently proved to be true.

and the exact date of last year's AGM when the Chairman admitted that he knew nothing of the DS scandal as it was supposed to be 'independent' and confirmed that 'CFC is not corrupt'

I have to go out for the day so if somebody could help me with the dates I'd be much obliged.
Get it on, bang the gong , get it on

And that's the thing isn't it? If, after reading all this, the screenshotter still feels it's right to be in that camp, then good luck to him. The mind boggles doesn't it?

... but the reassuring thing (if one chooses to take Chris Turner at his word) is that none of this has happened by mistake.

Very true. Maybe a 'general' section can be added to the 'list of shame' which doesn't have specific dates. Off the top of my head for starters...

- Several loyal, long serving staff either sacked, made redundant, moved aside, replaced by sycophants, and made to sign non disclosure agreements
- Use of a screenshotter to spy on Bob's board
- Dave Allen's interviews which treat the fanbase with utter contempt

Well there will be dates for points 1 & 3, it just boils down to whether or not you can you bothered to find them.

To all those who have provided dates for some of the subjects I will update the list later today.

"150th Anniversary non-event"
https://www.chesterf...th-anniversary/

The point being that there was nothing for the ordinary fan to attend/to celebrate/to meet former players & officials from the past.
The only event being for a 150 'well-heeled' people to attend a gala ball at Chatsworth, which surprise-surprise didn't sell very well.
An example of further disassociation between the club and its supporters.

I agree with regards to the general section. We could have all the members of BB that have received a few questionable emails or PM's that they might not be happy to post due to threats to family etc. I am one of them, and I know at least four others that have had 'runnings' with Carson and his cronies, maybe these people could come forward?
