And your point is?

I can see both sides. Firstly how anyone wants to spend their money on bringing up their kids, as long as they try to do the best by them is their business, and theirs alone. The lavish parties etc, albeit to everyday folk is way OTT, and cringeworthy, again, that's up to them. But once they allow it to be filmed for TV exposure sheds a different light on it. First and foremost, and I don't think you can argue against this point, is that they, in this case the Radfords, or at least Carol, crave that media attention. It puts them in the limelight, in which many rich families choose to avoid and prevent intrusion, they, or she, at least seem to crave it. Again that's up to them and tbh it doesn't intrude on my day to day life at all but they chose to let it be filmed.
The fact it seems to be completely airbrushed on stagsnet would suggest they are concerned to open the tv programme up to comment and scrutiny in fear of a negative narrative purely because they fear biting the hand that feeds rather than letting people offer opinion on what was a National TV programme.
Would the censorship be the same if it involved any other club?
Shows stagsnet up in a very poor light I'm afraid.

They probably just deleted the thread on Stagsnet because it has nothing to do with football,people reading too much into it.

I doubt that, I read into a fear of saying anything anti Radford at best, or sensorship direct from the top at worst, either way, it's up to them!

Doubtful as, a few months ago, there was a thread on there discussing her appearance on Question Time.

Very apt turning feel ill into a circus😁

Exactly. She's CEO purely because her husband owns the club, not for any record of expertise in this role. And her salary goes to the family of course.

Came very close to gaining automatic promotion to the 3rd tier while we continue to languish in the basement. All things considered, maybe DA should have a word with his missus

Tom Pope has a say 😁

If only we were languishing in the basement.

He’s very amusing on there. Nothing like any current pro I know of.

[Westbars Spireite]

Although he's getting more abusive as (presumably) the beers go down!

I've just spent an amusing half an hour scrolling through his old tweets, great banter loved this line

[moondog]

and before it gets lost this is how he replied to the stags fan

[Westbars Spireite]

It's refreshing. No 'we go again' nonsense. He's a fan of the club he plays for, says what he likes and either the club leave him to it or he ignores them.

I agree none of this "fans were different class again today".

If you've not heard it his appearance on the " Undr for cosh" podcast is also entertaining
